Severe Thunderstorm Warning 116, NWS Austin/San Antonio, TX

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AUSTIN/SAN ANTONIO TX
947 PM CDT THU JUN 12 2014

.UPDATE...
THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY CONTINUES TO CONGEAL INTO A COMPLEX OF
STORMS. CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING THAT THUNDERSTORMS WILL AFFECT
MUCH OF THE CWA TONIGHT BEFORE ACTIVITY PUSHES SOUTH AND HAVE
INCREASED TO LIKELY POPS FOR MUCH OF THE AREA. THE HRRR SEEMS TO
HAVE A DECENT HANDLE ON THE TRENDS AND HAS MOST ACTIVITY SOUTH OF
THE CWA AFTER 8Z. OVER THE NEXT 6 HOURS...SEVERE CHANCES WILL
CONTINUE WITH A WEAKENING TREND EXPECTED AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH
INCREASING INHIBITION. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS EXPECTED OUT OF
THE HEAVIER STORMS...BUT STORM MOTIONS ARE BECOMING A FASTER AS
COMPLEX BECOMES DOMINATED BY COLD POOLS. SOME LOCATIONS WILL PICK
UP OVER TWO INCHES OF RAIN AND THERE MAY BE A NEED FOR A FLASH
FLOOD WARNING AT SOME POINT TONIGHT. HOWEVER...GIVEN THE LATE
TIMING AND EXPECTED COVERAGE...WILL NOT ISSUE A WATCH. OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY HAS OVERTAKEN THE HEAT ADVISORY WITH THUNDERSTORMS AROUND
AS WELL...AND HAVE CANCELLED THE HEAT ADVISORY.

AVIATION...
ISOLD STRONG CONVECTION OVER THE HILL COUNTRY AND EDWARDS PLATEAU
MAY ONLY AFFECT KDRT...BUT THE CHANCES ARE SMALL SO ONLY USED
VCTS MENTION AT THIS TIME. SHORT RANGE MODELS STILL INDICATED A
SQUALL LINE MAY DEVELOP AND MOVE SOUTH ACROSS THE I-35 SITES LATE
TONIGHT...BUT SINCE ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT IS LAGGING...ONLY KEPT
MENTION OF THIS IN THE KAUS TAF BUT NOT FOR KSAT/KSSF. OTHERWISE...
EXPECT MVFR STRATUS AGAIN FROM ROUGHLY 07-14Z...THEN VFR THE REST
OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. ALSO LEFT OUT MENTION OF TSRA FOR
FRIDAY...BUT MAY HAVE TO INCLUDE IT FOR THE I-35 SITES IN FUTURE
TAF ISSUANCES.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 348 PM CDT THU JUN 12 2014/

SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)...
CONVERGENCE ZONE OVER ROUGHLY A PANDALE TO JUNCTION TO LLANO LINE
AS A RESULT OF OUTFLOWS FROM STORMS FROM THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS AREA
WILL LIKELY BREAK OUT WITH STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AS A
SHORTWAVE MOVES THROUGH W TX LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS
EVENING. A BROADER SHORTWAVE TO THE NORTH WITH AN ASSOCIATED COLD
FRONT WILL ALSO ENHANCE STORM POTENTIAL LATE TONIGHT WITH HIGH RES
MODELS CONSISTENTLY SHOWING CLUSTERS OF STORMS DROPPING S/E FROM
NORTH TX INTO CENTRAL TX LATER THIS EVENING. CAPES AT OR ABOVE
4000 J/KG AND MODERATE SHEAR SHOULD COMBINE WITH THE SURFACE FOCUS
TO PROVIDE THE INGREDIENTS AVAILABLE TO PROMOTE SEVERE STORMS...A
FEW CAPABLE OF PRODUCING VERY LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND A
TORNADO OR TWO. BACKED SURFACE WINDS NORTH OF THIS BOUNDARY COULD
MEAN THE THREAT FOR TORNADOES COULD CONTINUE WELL INTO THE
EVENING...POSSIBLY BEING BOOSTED BY THUNDERSTORMS MOVING INTO THE
AREA THAT WOULD ORIGINATE FROM THE COLD FRONT TO THE NORTH. HEAVY
RAIN THREATS ARE EXPECTED TO BE SECONDARY...AS PROGRESSIVE STORM
MOTIONS OVER 25 MPH ARE EXPECTED AND THE LOW LEVEL INFLOW
ENVIRONMENT IS NOT IDEAL FOR THE FORMATION OF AN MCS. THIS OPINION
IS FORMED BASED ON THE SPORADIC LOCATIONS OF THE 850 MB THETA-E
FIELDS WHICH SHIFT WESTWARD AS THE STORMS SHIFT EAST.

A FEW LINGERING THUNDERSTORMS WILL LAST THROUGH THE NIGHT AND BE
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING SOME SPOTTY DOWNPOURS EAST OF I-35 CORRIDOR
BEFORE STABILITY ATTEMPTS TO TAKE OVER AGAIN FOR FRIDAY FRIDAY
NIGHT.

LONG TERM (SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...
A FLATTENED UPPER RIDGE AXIS WILL REMAIN NEAR THE FORECAST AREA
AND COULD BE TROUBLESOME ON POPS AND TEMPS IN THE LATER PERIODS.
THE NARROWNESS OF THE RIDGE MEANS THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THAT SOME
OF THE MOISTURE FROM HURRICANE CRISTINA COULD GET ENTRAINED INTO
THE SYSTEM. THE CANADIAN AND ECMWF ALREADY APPEAR TO BE HEDGING
THEIR BETS WITH THE ECMWF MID LEVEL PATTERNS LOOKING VERY
UNSTABLE OVER SOUTH TX IN THE EARLY TO MIDDLE PART OF NEXT WEEK.
A CANADIAN/GFS BLEND IS PREFERRED FOR NOW SO AS NOT TO STRAY TOO
FAR FROM THE IDEA THAT THE RIDGE AXIS CAN HOLD TOGETHER AND KEEP
US DRY. BLENDED GUIDANCES WERE ADOPTED FOR TEMPERATURES AND SOME
SLIGHT CHANCE POPS WERE THROWN IN FOR MAINLY MONDAY INTO TUESDAY.
