AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AUSTIN/SAN ANTONIO TX
317 PM CDT WED JUN 17 2015

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT)...
TROPICAL DEPRESSION BILL HAS MOVED INTO NORTH TEXAS AND IS
CURRENTLY VERY NEAR THE FORT WORTH AREA. HERE IN CENTRAL TEXAS A
BAND OF CONVECTION HAS PERSISTED FOR MOST OF THE DAY ALONG THE
COASTAL PLAINS FROM KENEDY TO CUERO TO SUBLIME. ADDITIONAL SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS DUE TO
THE RICH MOISTURE IN PLACE AND THE LIFT PROVIDED BY THE SUNSHINE
THAT THE HILL COUNTRY GOT THIS MORNING.

CONCERNING THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH...HAVE DROPPED IT FOR COUNTIES
WEST OF I-35. ALTHOUGH A FEW MODELS (NAM AND NOW THE HRRR) SHOW
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE EDWARDS PLATEAU AND HILL
COUNTRY LATE THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT TONIGHT THE THREAT FOR
WIDESPREAD FLASH FLOODING HAS DIMINISHED. FOR AREAS EAST OF I-35
THE WATCH REMAINS INTACT DUE TO THE ONGOING RAINS AND DEVELOPMENT
OF OTHER SHOWERS AND STORMS ALONG THE I-35 CORRIDOR. THE AREAS
EAST OF I-35 HAVE ALSO SEEN RAIN THE LAST TWO DAYS FROM BILL.
MODELS SHOW MOST OF THE ACTIVITY WANING LATE TONIGHT SO HAVE MOVED
UP THE EXPIRATION TIME OF THE WATCH UP TO MIDNIGHT.

MESOSCALE MODELS SHOW THE ACTIVITY INCREASING IN COVERAGE THIS
EVENING ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA. WITH THE RICH MOISTURE IN PLACE
ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS A TROPICAL DOWNPOUR WITH LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE. RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES WILL BE
POSSIBLE WITH AN ISOLATED TOTALS UP TO 5 INCHES. THIS MUCH RAIN
COULD CAUSE SOME LOCALIZED FLOODING DUE TO RAPID RUNOFF ON THE
MOIST SOILS FROM MAY. AGAIN THE THREAT FOR WIDESPREAD FLOODING HAS
DIMINISHED WHICH IS THE REASONING FOR THE DROPPING AND SHORTENING
OF THE WATCH...ALTHOUGH THE LOCALIZED THREAT CONTINUES THROUGH THE
EVENING HOURS ACROSS ALL OF SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS.

SHORT TERM MODELS SHOW OUTFLOWS FROM THE ONGOING CONVECTION COMING
TOGETHER OVERNIGHT TO PRODUCE MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
MAINLY ACROSS THE EDWARDS PLATEAU...WITH COVERAGE DECREASING LATE
TONIGHT TOWARDS THURSDAY MORNING. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES OF
1.5 TO 2 INCHES STICK AROUND FOR ONE MORE DAY ON THURSDAY SO
ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO BE POSSIBLE. A
TROUGH SITUATED ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS WILL AID IN THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THIS ACTIVITY AS WELL. RAINFALL CHANCES AND AMOUNTS
DROP OFF LATE THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE REMNANT OF BILL
GET PICKED UP IN THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW AND TAKEN TO THE EAST.

&&

.LONG TERM (FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...
SLIGHT RAIN CHANCES CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY AS WE STAY MOIST HERE IN
CENTRAL TEXAS. LEFTOVER MOISTURE FROM THE FORMER PACIFIC STORM
CARLOS WILL THEN INTERACT WITH AN INVERTED TROUGH OVER NORTHERN
MEXICO TO ONCE AGAIN INCREASE RAIN CHANCES SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY
MAINLY ACROSS THE RIO GRANDE PLAINS. WITH THE TAP OF BOTH PACIFIC
AND ATLANTIC MOISTURE AND THE SYNOPTIC LIFT FROM THE TROUGH
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL MAY AGAIN BE POSSIBLE SUNDAY AND MONDAY.
THE TROUGH STICKS AROUND FOR THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK ACROSS
THE BIG BEND REGION PRODUCING SLIGHT CHANCES OF RAIN WITH
SOUTHERLY FLOW.
