sbsWhat 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 May 19, 12:58 AM CDT, 1 hour 25 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 19, 12:58 AM CDT, 1 hour 25 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 1258 AM CDT THU MAY 19 2016 .UPDATE...06z Aviation Discussion below. && .AVIATION...700-1500FT ceilings have developed across the Hill Country and Central Texas late this evening, including the AUS area. 1500-3000FT ceilings were expanding into the Rio Grande and far southern areas, with a pocket of VFR conditions currently over the SAT area. This pocket will gradually fill in the next 1-2 hours with MVFR ceilings and eventually IFR. SHRAs are expected to develop across the DRT area 06Z-08Z and SAT/AUS area 08Z-12Z. A line of TSRAs will impact the DRT terminal 09Z-12Z and the SAT/AUS terminals 13Z-15Z. Locally heavy rain, IFR ceilings and visibility and wind gusts in excess of 25KT will be possible in heavier storms. Trailing stratiform rain and embedded SHRAs will be possible through roughly 16Z at DRT and 20Z at SAT/AUS. IFR to MVFR ceilings will persist through the afternoon. NE to E winds 5-10KT likely to turn north 10-15KT behind the line of storms for a few hours. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 939 PM CDT WED MAY 18 2016/ DISCUSSION... Area radars show little or no activity across south central Texas. Will reduce pops for the remainder of this evening to 20 percent. Large scale upward forcing develops after midnight over the Rio Grande and progresses eastward with the upper level trough. 18z model runs and recent runs of the HRRR and RAP continue trends of locally heavy rains out west overnight and spreading across the remainder of south central Texas on Thursday. Forecast reasoning below has not changed for overnight through Thursday. However, recent hi-res models have trended a little more progressive. Temperatures/dewpoints in the Hill Country a little cooler than forecast and have reestablished trends for the overnight as temperatures may rise a little toward morning. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 253 PM CDT WED MAY 18 2016/ SHORT TERM (Tonight through Thursday Night)... Upper air analysis this morning showed a positively tilted trough over the southwest with south-southwesterly flow over Texas. At the surface, a stationary front was stretched across South Texas. Winds across our CWA were from the northeast. Dew point temperatures were five to 10 degrees lower than 24 hours ago. The upper trough will move into and across Texas tonight and Thursday. A surface trough will move across central Texas tonight increasing chances for showers and thunderstorms. PW values will increase to around 1.5 inches which should be sufficient to produce locally heavy rain. Best chances tonight will over the western third of the CWA. This chance will spread to the east Thursday as the front to our south moves back north. Locally heavy rain will be possible over most of the CWA. Over the first 36 hours of this forecast period widespread rainfall totals of one to three inches are likely with higher amounts possible in a few locations. This will likely lead to some flash flooding and we will issue a flash flood watch with this forecast package. In addition to the flash flood threat, there should be sufficient instability and deep layer wind shear for some strong to severe thunderstorms. The best location for any severe storms will be south and east of a line from Giddings to Universal City to Pleasanton where SPC has issued a slight chance. North and west of this line there will be a lower chance. The most likely threats will be damaging wind gusts, large hail, and isolated tornadoes. Strong to sever storms are most likely during the afternoon and evening. Thursday night rain should move away to the east ending from west to east. LONG TERM (Friday through Wednesday)... Friday into the weekend an upper level ridge will try to build over the southern plains, but will be fairly weak. This should lead to mainly dry weather Friday and Saturday, but there will still be a slight chance for thunderstorms as the atmosphere will remain conditionally unstable. A deep upper trough will move through the west beginning Sunday turning the upper flow to the southwest for the early part of next week. This will bring more unsettled weather with low chances for thunderstorms. There is no focus for any organized weather. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
