AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AUSTIN/SAN ANTONIO TX
719 PM CST SAT DEC 26 2015

.UPDATE...HAVE RECONFIGURED THE OVERNIGHT THUNDERSTORM CHANCES AND
OVERALL SEVERE WEATHER WORDING BASED ON CURRENT AND EXPECTED
TRENDS. THESE TRENDS CLOSELY MATCH THAT OF THE SPC SSEO
REFLECTIVITY FIELDS THAT LINE UP WELL WITH OTHER GLOBAL MODEL
OUTPUT SOLUTIONS. SEE UPDATED DISCUSSION BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS ON
THE EXPECTED EVOLUTION AND HAZARDS OF STORMS OVERNIGHT AND SUNDAY
MORNING.

&&

.UPDATED SHORT TERM...

LIGHT SHOWERS ARE ONGOING NOW OVER THE NORTHERN I-35 CORRIDOR AND
ARE BEING HELD IN CHECK BY THE WEAK TO MODERATE CAP THAT IS IN
PLACE /-25 TO -50 J/KG/ PER SPC MESOANALYSIS. EARLIER THIS
AFTERNOON JUST ENOUGH WEAKENING OF THE CAP ALLOWED ONE STORM TO
BRIEFLY SHOW SIGNS OF ROTATION IN BURNET COUNTY WITH PICTURE
EVIDENCE OF A FUNNEL. A LULL OF STRONGER ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED
THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS AS THE CAP REMAINS IN PLACE AND BEFORE
STRONGER FORCING/ACCENT ARRIVES BOTH WITH THE FRONT AND THE
DEEPER LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE CLOSED LOW OVER WEST TEXAS.

CONVECTION EXPECTATIONS...THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE
IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY ACROSS THE BIG BEND OF TEXAS INTO THE
EDWARDS PLATEAU BY 10PM TO 12AM TONIGHT. THESE CELLS WILL
INITIALLY BE ELEVATED IN NATURE GIVEN THE 00Z KDRT SOUNDING THAT
SHOWS -80 J/KG CIN AND HIGH LCLS AND LFCS. DESPITE THIS...LARGE
HAIL WILL BE A RISK AS NEAR 2000 J/KG MUCAPE WILL BE PRESENT AT
THE TIME WHILE UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE IS INCREASING. AS THESE
STORMS PROGRESS EAST INTO THE SOUTH EDWARDS PLATEAU
(EDWARDS/REAL/UVALDE COUNTIES) LCLS AND LOW-LVL MOISTURE CONTENT
WILL BE MORE SUPPORTIVE OF SURFACE BASED STORMS. THE DAMAGING WIND
RISK WILL BECOME HIGHER AS THE LINE OF STORMS PROGRESS EAST ACROSS
THE PLATEAU AND INTO THE HILL COUNTRY THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS SUNDAY. RAP13 MODELS OUTPUT SUGGEST THE STRONGEST SFC
CONVERGENCE AND UPPER DIVERGENCE COUPLING WILL OCCUR OVER TO JUST
NORTH OF THE HILL COUNTRY IN THE 12-3AM TIME FRAME. THIS LINES UP
EXTREMELY WELL WITH THE ENHANCED AREA OUTLINE FROM THE SPC. IT
WILL BE THIS TIME FRAME THAT DAMAGING STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS AND
HAIL WILL BE MOST LIKELY. IN ADDITION...A TORNADO OR TWO WILL ALSO
BE POSSIBLE. LOW-LVL 0-1KM EFFECTIVE SRH VALUES HAVE ALREADY
INCREASED INTO THE 300-400 M2/S2 RANGE ACROSS THIS SAME AREA. IF
BOWING SEGMENTS WERE TO SURGE TO THE EAST-NORTHEAST...EMBEDDED
MESO VORTICIES CAPABLE OF BRIEF TORNADOES WOULD BE QUITE FAVORED.

BY 5-9AM...THE STORM EVOLUTION IS LESS CLEAR. MOST HIGH-RES
MODELS INDICATE THE FRONT OUTPACING THE DEEPER FORCING THAT WILL
LAG TO THE WEST. RAP/GFS OUTPUT WEAKENS THE LOW-LVL MOISTURE FLUX
CONVERGENCE SUGGESTING THE LINE MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY KEEPING ITS
STRENGTH HIGH. THIS SOLUTION IS ALSO SUGGESTED IN MANY HI-RES
MODELS. HOWEVER...ISOLATED POCKETS OF GUSTY WINDS AND A TORNADO
COULD STILL BE POSSIBLE GIVEN THE HIGH SHEAR ENVIRONMENT. OF
NOTE...AN INCREASING TREND OF STRENGTH OF THE LINE LOOKS TO OCCUR
AS IT ENTERS EASTERN ZONES IN THE 7-8AM TIME FRAME AND BEYOND.
AMPLE MOISTURE COMBINED WITH THE BETTER COUPLING OF THE UPPER
LEVEL DIVERGENCE THAT HAS NOW CAUGHT UP TO THE FRONT WILL LIKELY
SUPPORT MORE ROBUST UPDRAFTS. DAMAGING WINDS...HAIL AND TORNADO
POSSIBILITIES WILL NEED TO BE CLOSELY MONITORED DURING THIS TIME
FRAME AND LOCATION. THE LINE WILL FINALLY EXIT THE AREA BY EARLY
AFTERNOON WITH AMPLE SEVERE THREATS EAST OF SOUTH-CENTRAL TEXAS
AND CLOSER TO HOUSTON. THAT STATED...SHOWERS WILL LINGER WELL
BEHIND THE FRONT AND LINE AS DEEPER LIFT REMAINS OVER THE REGION.
FOR FORECAST DETAILS BEYOND SUNDAY AFTERNOON...PLEASE SEE BELOW.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 602 PM CST SAT DEC 26 2015/

AVIATION... /00Z TAFS/

AFTER A BRIEF THREAT OF ROTATING STORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON...THE
CAP APPEARS TO HAVE GAINED CONTROL OVER THE AREA WITH ONLY A FEW
SHOWERS FORMING FOR THIS EVENING. LATER TONIGHT A STRONG POLAR
FRONT WILL MERGE WITH A PACIFIC FRONT FROM AN UPPER LEVEL STORM
SYSTEM AND CREATE A NEW FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORMS. A FEW STORMS
COULD BE SEVERE...WITH HIGHER RES MODELS DEPICTING THE STRONGER
CELLS AGAIN FOCUSED TO THE NORTHERN COUNTIES. AHEAD OF THIS
ACTIVITY...THE STRONG INFLOW WINDS TO THE STORM SYSTEM SHOULD KEEP
MOST OF THE CEILINGS AROUND TAF SITES IN THE MVFR CATEGORY THROUGH
LATE THIS EVENING. A FEW DIPS IN TO IFR CIGS ARE EXPECTED AND SOME
VSBY RESTRICTIONS COULD OCCUR NEAR SHOWERS. THE HIGHER RES MODELS
HAVE THE W/NW WIND SHIFT AT DRT BY AROUND 07Z...SAT/SSF BY AROUND
13Z AND AUS AT 14 OR 15Z. THE UPPER LOW WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO
MOVE ACROSS TX BUT SHOULD MIX DOWN SOME STRONG WINDS OVER THE DRT
AREA LATE IN THE DAY AND WELL INTO SUNDAY EVENING.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 330 PM CST SAT DEC 26 2015/

SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT)...
A POTENT UPPER LEVEL LOW SYSTEM ACROSS THE FOUR CORNERS REGION
WILL TRACK TO THE SOUTHEAST AND OVER NORTHERN MEXICO
OVERNIGHT...BEFORE SHIFTING TO THE NORTHEAST AND OVER CENTRAL
TEXAS ON SUNDAY. AT THE SURFACE...AN ARCTIC FRONT WILL PUSH
SOUTHWARD FROM CENTRAL TEXAS INTO OUR AREA LATE THIS EVENING.
ALSO...A DEVELOPING SURFACE LOW OVER NORTHEAST MEXICO IS EXPECTED
TO PUSH ACROSS THE HILL COUNTRY LATE TONIGHT...FOLLOWED BY A
PACIFIC FRONT. AHEAD OF ALL THESE FEATURES(WARM SECTOR)...THERE IS
PLENTY MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP THIS
EVENING INTO SUNDAY.

ISOLATED TO SCATTERED AND ONE OR TWO THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE
FOR THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON MAINLY ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF
SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS. HOWEVER...WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL BEGIN TO
DETERIORATE AROUND 10 TO 11 PM TONIGHT ACROSS THE FAR NORTHWEST
PORTION OF SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS(WESTERN HILL COUNTRY/EDWARDS
PLATEAU) AS THE PACIFIC FRONT ENTERS THAT REGION. BY THIS
TIME...ANY STORM THAT DOES DEVELOP WITH NO CAP IN PLACE...HAS GOOD
CHANCES TO BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE. MAIN WEATHER THREATS WITH
THESE STORMS WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS OF 60 TO 70 MPH AND HAIL UP
TO ONE QUARTER INCH. ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE ALSO POSSIBLE.
LOCALIZED HEAVY RAIN IS POSSIBLE OVER SOME AREAS...BUT FLASH
FLOODING CONCERNS ARE LOW.

THE INTERACTION OF THE ARCTIC AND PACIFIC FRONTS IS EXPECTED TO
OCCUR OVERNIGHT AS THE SYSTEM PASSES OVER THE ESCARPMENT AROUND 3
TO 4 AM AND INTO THE I-35 CORRIDOR AROUND 7 TO 8 AM.

THE FRONTAL SYSTEM QUICKLY MOVES TO THE EAST WHILE THE UPPER LEVEL
LOW PUSHES TO THE NORTHEAST AND INTO NORTHEAST TEXAS BY SUNDAY
EVENING. HOWEVER...THERE STILL PLENTY INSTABILITY IN PLACE LATE SUNDAY
MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS...FOR SOME STRONG TO SEVERE
STORMS TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE EASTERN COUNTIES OF SOUTH CENTRAL
TEXAS. ONCE AGAIN...MAIN WEATHER HAZARDS FOR THIS PERIOD WILL BE
DAMAGING WINDS...HAIL UP TO ONE INCH AND LOCALIZED HEAVY RAIN.
CANT RULED OUT FEW TORNADOES.

IN SUMMARY...STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS EXPECTED LATE TONIGHT INTO
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS ACROSS THE WESTERN HILL COUNTRY AND EDWARDS
PLATEAU WITH THE LINE OF STORMS ARRIVING AROUND 7 AM ALONG I-35
CORRIDOR AND THEN OVER THE EASTERN COUNTIES LATE SUNDAY MORNING
INTO EARLY AFTERNOON. THE MAIN WEATHER THREATS FOR THIS EVENT ARE...
DAMAGING WINDS OF 60 TO 70 MPH...LARGE HAIL UP TO ONE INCH AND
ISOLATED TORNADOES. STORM RAINFALL TOTALS ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE
FROM ONE QUARTER INCH OR LESS ACROSS THE RIO GRANDE...ONE HALF TO
ONE INCH ALONG HIGHWAY 281 AND THREE QUARTER OF AN INCH UP TO TWO
INCHES...EAST OF A BURNET TO NEW BRAUNFELS TO CUERO LINE.

IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT...STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS WITH GUSTS UP TO
35 MPH ARE EXPECTED ON SUNDAY MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON
HOURS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA. A WIND
ADVISORY MAY BE REQUIRED FOR SUNDAY IF MODELS CONTINUE TO SUGGEST
STRONG TO WINDY CONDITIONS. BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

DRY AND COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED SUNDAY NIGHT INTO
MONDAY WITH TEMPERATURES DROPPING TO FREEZING MARK AND EVEN BELOW
OVER FEW SPOTS ACROSS THE HILL COUNTRY. DONT BE SURPRISE IF YOU
SEE SOME SNOW FLURRIES FOR FEW HOURS OVER PARTS OF THE WESTERN
AND NORTHERN HILL COUNTRY AS SOME LINGERING MOISTURE COULD STILL
IN PLACE.

LONG TERM (MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)...
DRY AND COLD WEATHER IS STORE FOR THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK WITH
CHANCES OF RAIN INCREASING WEDNESDAY AS ANOTHER BUT WEAKER FRONT
PUSHES ACROSS THE AREA ON LATE TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. DRY WEATHER
IS EXPECTED FOR THE LATER PART OF THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND.
