Area forecast discussion, Jun 27, 2:45 PM CDT, 3 hours 17 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AUSTIN/SAN ANTONIO TX 245 PM CDT SAT JUN 27 2015 .SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT)... SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED THIS AFTERNOON IN THE VERY MOIST ENVIRONMENT ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS. ALONG THE RIO GRANDE PLAINS STORMS ARE ONGOING FROM LEAKEY SOUTH TO BRACKETTVILLE ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF A MESOSCALE CIRCULATION THAT CAN STILL BE DETECTED OVER VAL VERDE COUNTY ON RADAR AND SATELLITE. STORMS HAVE ALSO DEVELOPED ACROSS THE HILL COUNTRY ON LEFT OVER OUTFLOWS FROM THE MORNING CONVECTION. THE COLD FRONT IS STILL ACROSS NORTH TEXAS AT THIS HOUR MAKING VERY LITTLE PROGRESS SOUTHWARD DURING THE DAY. THE NAM AND MESOSCALE MODELS (NMM/ARW/HRRR) SHOW THE FRONT MOVING SOUTH OVERNIGHT AND STALLING OUT AGAIN SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE I-10 CORRIDOR AND COASTAL PLAINS. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE ALONG AND AHEAD OF IT...SO THE FRONTS PROGRESS SOUTH WILL DETERMINE EXACTLY WHO GETS RAIN AND HOW MUCH. DECENT RAIN CHANCES CONTINUE DURING THE DAY ON SUNDAY AS THE FRONT STICKS AROUND ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES. DAYTIME HEATING...LEFT OVER BOUNDARIES FROM THE CONVECTION TODAY AND TONIGHT...AND THE FRONT ITSELF WILL ALL ACT AS LIFTING MECHANISMS. RAIN CHANCES DECREASE SLIGHTLY SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY AS THE FRONT WASHES OUT. STILL THINKING THAT SOME POCKETS OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE. HAVE SEEN A QUICK 1 TO 2 INCHES OUT OF THE STORMS THIS MORNING AND THIS AFTERNOON. THE ATMOSPHERE REMAINS MOIST WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES BETWEEN 1.75 AND 2.00 INCHES. GUSTY WINDS UP TO 50 MPH WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE WITH A FEW OF THESE STORMS. && .LONG TERM (MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)... RAIN CHANCES CONTINUE OFF AND ON THROUGH THE NEXT WEEK. THE LARGE SCALE SYNOPTIC PATTERN OF A RIDGE OVER THE WEST AND TROUGH OVER THE EAST DEAMPLIFIES AS THE WEEK PROGRESSES...BUT OUR WEATHER HERE IN CENTRAL TEXAS WILL BE CONTROLLED BY A WEAK INVERTED TROUGH ACROSS NORTHERN MEXICO AND WHAT HAPPENS WITH A SUBTROPICAL HIGH OVER THE FAR EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO. THE INVERTED TROUGH WILL BRING RAIN CHANCES EACH DAY TO AREAS OUT OF I-10 AND EAST OF I-35. A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ELSEWHERE AS LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLY FLOW CONTINUES. BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF CONTINUE TO KEEP THE SUBTROPICAL HIGH OVER FLORIDA LONGER AND NOW DO NOT BUILD IT OVER OUR AREA INTO NEXT WEEK. FOR THIS REASON SLIGHT CHANCE POPS NOW GO THROUGH FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. IN PLACES WHERE IT IS NOT RAINING DURING THE WEEK PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES WILL PREVAIL WITH HIGHS NEAR 90. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
