AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AUSTIN/SAN ANTONIO TX
351 AM CDT FRI AUG 17 2007

.DISCUSSION...
REMNANTS OF ERIN CONTINUE TO EFFECT THE HILL COUNTRY THIS
MORNING. THE CENTER OF THE LOW IS NEAR EDWARDS COUNTY. RAINFALL
AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN DECREASING OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF HOURS...BUT
STILL SEEING LIGHT TO MODERATE RAINS. THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO
TRACK SLOWLY NORTHWEST. THIS WILL KEEP SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS AND THE
HILL COUNTRY UNDER THE GUN FOR TODAY. A DEEP CONNECTION OF
MOISTURE REMAINS EVIDENT ON SATELLITE IMAGERY INTO THE GULF.
DAYTIME HEATING AND OBVIOUS INSTABILITY WILL PRODUCE NUMEROUS SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THUS...WILL CONTINUE THE
FLASH FLOOD WATCH THROUGH THIS EVENING. AT THIS POINT...SEE NO
NEED TO EXTEND THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH.

REMNANTS OF ERIN WILL REMAIN OVER TEXAS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE
CENTER OF THE LOW WILL TRACK UP THROUGH THE HILL TOWARDS THE
PANHANDLE. HOWEVER...WITH HIGH PW VALUES AND AN UNSTABLE
AIRMASS...CHANCES OF RAIN WILL CONTINUE FOR SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. EARLY NEXT WEEK...JUST AS THIS UPPER LOW
MOVES INTO MEXICO ANOTHER SYSTEM MOVES ONSHORE. THIS WILL CONTINUE
THE CHANCES OF RAIN FOR THE REGION THROUGHOUT THE WEEK.

CURRENT TPC TRACK FORECAST INDICATES HURRICANE DEAN JUST
NORTHWEST OF THE YUCATAN ON TUESDAY. MODEL SOLUTIONS DIFFER ON
WHERE IT MAKES LANDFALL ALONG THE WESTERN COAST OF THE GULF OF
MEXICO. REGARDLESS IT STANDS TO BE POWERFUL HURRICANE...AND LIKELY
AFFECTING DEEP SOUTH TEXAS.
