AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AUSTIN/SAN ANTONIO TX
1251 PM CDT MON APR 27 2009

.AVIATION...
THUNDERSTORM TRENDS ARE DECREASING NEAR DRT WHILE IT LOOKS LIKE
ANOTHER 2 HOURS AT LEAST FOR THE I-35 TERMINALS. CELL TRENDS ARE
MIGRATING TOWARD A STRATIFORM AREA OF RAIN AND THUNDER WEST OF
I-35 WHILE AREAS EAST OF THE METRO CITIES WILL SEE MORE CONVECTIVE
CELLS. THIS TRANSITION POINTS TOWARD IMPROVING CONDITIONS FOR THE
I-35 TERMINAS BY AROUND 21Z WITH A FAIR SKY DEVELOPING BY THE
EVENING. THE STABLE AIR IN THE WAKE OF THIS COMPLEX LATE THIS
EVENING SHOULD SUPPORT A LIGHT DECOUPLED WIND AND A POSSIBILITY OF
PATCHY DENSE FOG, ESPECIALLY SINCE A GOOD RAIN OF HALF AN INCH OR
BETTER LOOKS LIKELY FOR THIS AREA. THE DRT AREA SAW LESS RAIN BUT
STILL COULD SEE SOME VSBY RESTRICTIONS FROM THE STABLE AIR LATE
TONIGHT. THE SOUTHEAST WINDS SHOULD RETURN AFTER DAYBREAK TO LIFT
ANY LOW CEILINGS STEADILY LATE TUESDAY MORNING.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1044 AM CDT MON APR 27 2009/

UPDATE...
LARGE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY EXTENDING FROM WESTERN LEE COUNTY TO NORTHERN
BEXAR COUNTY AND WESTWARD TO NORTH CENTRAL VAL VERDE COUNTY. SO
FAR..THE SEVERE THREAT HAS BEEN LIMITED WITH MOSTLY LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINS. DISTURBANCES WILL BE SWEEPING EASTWARD TODAY AS THE
BOUNDARY SAGS SOUTHWARD. EXPECT CONTINUED ELEVATED CONVECTION
BEHIND THE BOUNDARY AND WITH DAYTIME HEATING..POTENTIALLY SEVERE
CONVECTION FIRING ALONG THE BOUNDARY LATER THIS AFTERNOON.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 728 AM CDT MON APR 27 2009/

UPDATE...
QUICK UPDATE MADE FOR TOR 198 VALID UNTIL 1 PM AND ISSUE A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH VALID UNTIL 4 PM. DEVELOPING SURFACE BOUNDARY ALONG
WITH BACKBUILDING/TRAINING STORMS WITH STRONG LOW LEVEL INFLOW
AND AN APPROACHING SHORT WAVE WILL RESULT IN LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL OF 2 TO 4 INCHES TODAY...ISOLATED TOTALS TO NEAR 5
INCHES.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 652 AM CDT MON APR 27 2009/

AVIATION...
GENERAL MVFR CEILINGS, OCCASIONALLY RISING TO VFR IN THE
AFTERNOON, WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE PERIOD. NUMEROUS SHOWERS WILL
DRIFT SOUTH TOWARD KAUS DURING THE LATE MORNING HOURS, WITH
WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING DURING THE AFTERNOON
HOURS.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 417 AM CDT MON APR 27 2009/

DISCUSSION...
STRONG TO MARGINALLY SEVERE STORMS OVER THE EASTERN HILL COUNTRY
EARLIER THIS MORNING HAVE TRANSITIONED INTO LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS.
STREAMER SHOWERS CONTINUE TO FEED INTO THE STORM CLUSTER MOVING
NEWD ACROSS N AUSTIN/ROUND ROCK/GEORGETOWN...BUT MOVING AT FAST
ENOUGH PACE TO ONLY WARRANT FLOOD ADVISORY AT THIS TIME. MAIN
CONCERN THIS MORNING IS MORE FOR HEAVY RAIN AS POSSIBLE BOUNDARY
DROPS INTO THE NRN CWA. BOUNDARY WOULD PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR THE
STRONG INFLOW OF LOW LEVEL GULF MOISTURE AS THE NEXT IN A SERIES
OF SHORT WAVES APPROACH FROM THE WEST AND TRACK ENEWD ACROSS
CENTRAL TX TODAY AND TONIGHT. WILL MENTION LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN FOR
THE NRN THIRD OF THE CWA THIS MORNING AND POSSIBLE SEVERE FOR THE
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING OVER THE CENTRAL/EASTERN CWA. SHORT WAVE
ACTIVITY SHIFTS SLIGHTLY NORTHWARD BY TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY AND HAVE
TAPERED OFF POPS NORTH AND ENDED SOUTH.

MUCH UNCERTAINTY FOR LATE THIS WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND AS LONG
RANGE MODELS DIFFER DRASTICALLY ON TIMING OF A COLD FRONT WITH
GFS INDICATING THE FRONT INTO THE CWA FRIDAY WHILE THE ECMWF MUCH
SLOWER WITH LATE SUNDAY/MONDAY MORNING. HAVE TRENDED SLOWER WITH
THE TIMING OF THE FRONT BUT WILL KEEP LOW POPS IN FOR THE WEEKEND
SIMILAR TO PREVIOUS PACKAGE AND SURROUNDING OFFICES.
