AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AUSTIN/SAN ANTONIO TX
814 PM CDT WED JUN 27 2007

.UPDATE...
MADE A QUICK UPDATE TO SHIFT HIGHER POPS EASTWARD FOR THE EVENING
WHERE LINE OF CONVECTION HAS BECOME MORE ORGANIZED AND TRAINING JUST
AHEAD OF THE UPPER TROF AXIS. STORMS ARE MUCH LESS ORGANIZED AND
SPOTTY ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE TROF AXIS OVER THE CENTRAL AND
WESTERN CWA. SCATTERED DEVELOPING STORMS  TO THE NORTH IN THE
ABILENE AREA POSSIBLY THE BEGINNINGS OF THE NEXT ROUND OF ORGANIZED
CONVECTION/MCS THAT COULD AFFECT OUR CWA AFTER MIDNIGHT AND INTO
THE EARLY MORNING HOURS WHEN THE NOCTURNAL LOW LEVEL JET WILL FEED
INTO THIS CONVECTION...SO HAVE LEFT HIGH POPS AND QPF AMOUNTS AS IS.

AVIATION...
FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORMS APPEARS TO BE CONVERGING ON THE I-35
CORRIDOR TERMINALS EARLY THIS EVENING. A FEW AREAS NEAR THESE
STORMS COULD SEE BRIEF MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS WITH WIND GUSTS TO 30
KTS POSSIBLE. LATER TONIGHT, THE HEAVY RAINS AND LOW CIGS SHOULD
BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD ALONG THE I-35 CORRIDOR WITH A POSSIBLE
WARM CORE AREA OF RAIN DEVELOPING OVER THE EASTERN HILL COUNTRY
AFTER 01Z. IMPROVED CIG AND VSBY CONDTIONS ARE EXPECTED AFTER
DAYBREAK, BUT THE CHANCE FOR CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE
DAYTIME. MEANWHILE LITTLE ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE DRT
AREA, WITH PERHAPS A BRIEF SHOT OF THUNDERSTORMS AROUND MIDNIGHT,
AND BRIEF MVFR CIGS POSSIBLE AROUND DAYBREAK.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 308 PM CDT WED JUN 27 2007/

DISCUSSION...
THIS AFTERNOON THE CENTER OF THE BROAD UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM WAS CENTERED OVER SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA. A SMALLER SCALE
CIRCULATION...POSSIBLY A MCV...WAS LOCATED BETWEEN SAN ANGELO AND
BROWNWOOD. CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SMALL SCALE FEATURE WAS
LOCATED NORTH OF LLANO AND BURNET COUNTIES. MODEL SOLUTIONS ARE IN
GENERAL AGREEMENT THAT ANOTHER CONVECTIVE COMPLEX ASSOCIATED WITH
A VORT LOBE OR MVC WILL DEVELOP ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS AND MOVE
SOUTHWARD ACROSS OUR CWFA TONIGHT AND THURSDAY. ONCE AGAIN WITH
THE TROPICAL AIRMASS IN PLACE...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS LIKELY
WHICH WILL CAUSE FLASH FLOODING. THE GFS DOES PRODUCE A QPF BOMB
OVER THE HILL COUNTRY AND SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS TONIGHT AND
THURSDAY. THE NAM ALSO GENERATES A QPF BOMB...BUT ITS LOCATION IS
OVER OUR NORTHEAST COUNTIES AND JUST NORTH OF THE EASTERN HILL
COUNTRY. WHAT IS LIKELY IS ANOTHER HEAVY RAIN EVENT WILL OCCUR
SOMEWHERE OVER OUR CWFA TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY...THUS THE FLASH
FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL NOON THURSDAY.

THE WET WEATHER PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THRU AT LEAST THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK. THE WEAKNESS IN THE RIDGE/SHEAR AXIS WILL PERSIST ACROSS
TEXAS WITH THE TROPICAL AIRMASS ENTRENCHED ACROSS SOUTH TEXAS.
THUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE IN THE FORECAST THRU
NEXT WEEK. ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN EVENTS WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE
ACROSS OUR CWFA...DEPENDENT UPON THE LOCATION OF MESOSCALE
BOUNDARIES AT THE SFC AND WEAK MID LEVEL CIRCULATIONS ALOFT.

THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS FLOODING SITUATION.
