Area forecast discussion, Jun 11, 3:34 PM CDT, 1 hour 2 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AUSTIN/SAN ANTONIO TX
334 PM CDT TUE JUN 11 2013

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT)...
WEAKNESS AND ABUNDANT MOISTURE OVER NORTHERN MEXICO CONTINUES TO
SEND PLENTY OF MOISTURE OUR WAY FROM THE GULF. CURRENT SEABREEZE
SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE INLAND THROUGH THE LATE
AFTERNOON HOURS AND BRING SCATTERED RAINS. BEST RAINFALL AND AREAL
COVERAGE WILL BE OVER THE SOUTHERN AND SOUTHWEST ZONES WITH OTHER
SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ALONG THE I35 CORRIDOR. LOOK FOR MOST OF THE
ACTIVITY TO DIE DOWN AFTER SUNSET WITH THE EXCEPTION BEING ALONG
THE RIO GRANDE WHERE THE STORMS MAY HOLD ON A LITTLE LONGER. MILD
TEMPS WILL PREVAIL OVERNIGHT. TOMORROW WILL LIKELY SEE A REPEAT OF
SEABREEZE TYPE SHOWERS AND STORMS ALONG THE COASTAL PLAINS BY LATE
MORNING SPREADING INLAND DURING THE AFTERNOON. OVERALL POP IS NOT
VERY HIGH AS THE ACTIVITY SHOULD REMAIN FAIRLY SCATTERED BUT ANY
ONE OF THE STORMS COULD PRODUCE A QUICK 0.25 TO 0.50 INCHES OF
RAIN. WILL CONTINUE THE POP WEDNESDAY NIGHT UP THE RIO GRANDE AS
MODELS ARE SHOWING BETTER PRECIP TO OCCUR. ONE OF THE HIGH
RESOLUTION MODELS EVEN SHOWS SOME VERY HEAVY NIGHTIME RAINFALL
WEDNESDAY NIGHT ALONG THE RIO GRANDE AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES JUST
OFF TO THE WEST. SOMETHING TO WATCH FOR.

&&

.LONG TERM (THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)...
THIS LONG TERM PERIOD WILL BE DEPENDENT ON THE MOVEMENT AND
LOCATION OF THE UPPER TROF TO THE SOUTH. MODELS ARE FORECASTING
THE LOW TO MOVE INTO THE TEXAS BIG BEND...SPREAD MOISTURE
NORTHWARD TO THE PANHANDLE AND THEN CROSS NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS ON
SATURDAY. HAVE KEPT SOME POP OVER THE FAR WESTERN ZONES DUE TO THE
PROXIMITY OF THE MOISTURE PLUME AND UPPER LOW. THERE IS A GOOD MID
LEVEL RH GRADIENT ACROSS CENTRAL TEXAS BY LATE IN THE WEEK AS AN
UPPER RIDGE MOVES OVER THE ARKLATEX REGION HELPING TO BRING SOME
DRIER AIR INTO EAST TEXAS AND OUR SE COUNTIES. AS THE UPPER TROF
MOVES ACROSS NORTHCENTRAL TEXAS ON SATURDAY...HAVE GIVEN THE WHOLE
AREA SOME 20 POP. KEPT THE REST OF THE WEEKEND DRY INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK AS WEAK UPPER RIDGING BUILDS IN.
