BMWWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Austin/San Antonio, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Dec 3, 5:56 AM CST, 2 hours 31 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 3, 5:56 AM CST, 2 hours 31 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 556 AM CST Sat Dec 3 2016 .AVIATION... /12Z TAFS/ Convective focus along I-35 should gradually lift NE this morning with some occasional thunder to impact SAT/SSF/AUS terminals through 15z. Lighter overrunning rains should continue to produce intermittent variations of predominant IFR conditions for the rest of the TAF periods with some heavier showers possibly bringing additional brief LIFR cigs and vsbys. Some late afternoon improvements to MVFR cigs are possible, but will not show this at SAT/SSF given the amount of rain and air saturation in that area. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 330 AM CST Sat Dec 3 2016/ SHORT TERM (Today through Sunday)... 00z upper air analysis showed the large slow moving upper level low just south of Arizona with 45 to 55 knots of southwest flow ahead of the trough over Texas. With northerly flow and cold air at the surface there is strong isentropic upslope on the 295K-310K theta-e levels. The effects of this strong and deep lift can be seen on radar at the present time with widespread rain across much of the CWA. SPC mesoanalysis shows about 750 J/kg of MUCAPE across the southern half of the area. This instability is enough for continued chances of embedded thunderstorms within the activity overnight and into the morning. Could even see some small hail out of the stronger updrafts given the colder thermal profile and the moderate levels of instability. Isentropic ascent will remain strong on the 295/300k planes but will be weaker above that level later today. With lift remaining should continue to see a high coverage of activity this afternoon, but with the lift being more shallow, intensity of the rainfall could slacken a bit. High temperatures today will be in the 50s for most locations and some places, especially in the Hill Country, could struggle to get out of the 40s. By tonight, the slow-moving upper low will be pushing southeast and be over northern Mexico. Another impulse of energy ahead of the upper low should increase the isentropic ascent once again with northerly flow continuing at the surface. As the disturbance arrives, rainfall activity should begin to increase across the western counties and translate to the east throughout the night bringing additional widespread rain to the area. There will be little diurnal cooling with lows Sunday in the middle 40s to the lower 50s. The upper low is not expected to move much as we get into the day on Sunday and will remain over northern Mexico. Scattered to numerous showers and isolated thunderstorms will continue across the area. By late Sunday afternoon, the bulk of the rainfall should be across the western counties as the large scale dynamical forcing associated with the slow-moving trough arrives to the region. High temperatures on Sunday will be in the 50s once again. LONG TERM (Sunday Night through Friday)... The upper level low will finally begin to move east at the start of the long-term forecast. As it does so, another large batch of rainfall will move across the region from west to east Sunday night and into Monday morning. The large scale forcing will keep categorical PoPs in the forecast for Sunday night and will continue likely PoPs for the eastern counties for Monday morning. Rainfall should end by late Monday afternoon as the upper low exits the region and subsidence commences on the backside of the system. Storm total rainfall amounts of 1-3" for the west and 2-5" for the eastern counties still looks reasonable. Will see a bit of a break on Tuesday in between systems with high temperatures topping out in the upper 60s to lower 70s. The next major system will be taking shape across the mountainous west with very cold arctic air moving into western Canada and the northwestern CONUS. As the trough moves east it will open up the gates for this cold air to surge south and into the CWA Wednesday afternoon. There will be a slight chance of a shower across the eastern counties with this front. The bigger story will be the cold air as this front will be by far the strongest of the season Lows behind the front Thursday morning will be near freezing for the northern CWA with breezy northerly winds. Highs Thursday will likely remain in the 40s and with calmer winds Friday morning, most locations throughout the CWA could see freezing temperatures if this solution pans out. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
