$$What 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 27, 1:30 AM CDT, 28 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 27, 1:30 AM CDT, 28 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 130 AM CDT FRI MAY 27 2016 .UPDATE... Please see the 06Z aviation forecast discussion below. && .AVIATION... Convection continues to flourish north of I-10 early this morning. This will put the focus on thunderstorms over the AUS terminal for the next several hours. Elsewhere, some isolated convection is noted over the southern Edwards Plateau and Rio Grande plains. We'll continue to mention TEMPO groups for TSRA at AUS for the next couple hours, then mention VCTS through 10Z. Elsewhere, convection chances appear low enough to not mention in the forecast for early this morning. Otherwise, cigs will develop this morning and are expected to lower into IFR after 10Z along I-35. Some improvement is expected by mid-morning along I-35, but most sites should remain MVFR well into the afternoon. Out west at KDRT, cigs should lower into MVFR around 10Z, then quickly improve by mid-morning as westerly winds spread over the terminal. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1109 PM CDT THU MAY 26 2016/ UPDATE... The forecast has been updated for the early cancellation of WW #217 where thunderstorm activity has diminished over the last couple hours. Farther east across the Hill Country, I-35 corridor and into the Hwy. 77 corridor a new severe thunderstorms watch (#221) is now in effect until 3 AM CDT. Rain chances have also been raised significantly for areas generally along and north of I-10. Complicated surface pattern in place with an outflow boundary roughly along a Llano to LaGrange line, with stout southerly flow in the low-levels to the south and southwest of this boundary. In addition, lone cell over the western Hill continues to remain severe while moving eastward. This will lead to additional showers and storms for most areas north of I-10. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 318 PM CDT THU MAY 26 2016/ UPDATE... In coordination with SPC, we have issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch along and northwest of a Junction to Uvalde to Del Rio line. Showers and thunderstorms continued to develop over the Serranias del Burro mountains to southwestern Texas. Strong instability and shear are noted across our area. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 232 PM CDT THU MAY 26 2016/ SHORT TERM (Tonight through Friday Night)... Have issued a Flash Flood Watch for areas along and east of a Burnet to Boerne to San Antonio to Karnes City line for this afternoon through late tonight. A surface boundary from morning rains over Central Texas is slowly drifting south along the I-35 corridor and provided lift to generate showers and thunderstorms. PWS have risen to near 2 inches across the Hill Country and South Central Texas tapering to near 1.5 inches along the Rio Grande. Due to earlier clearing skies allowing convective temperatures to be reached, showers and thunderstorms have developed out west from the Serranias del Burro of Mexico across the Big Bend into southwestern Texas. Expect showers and thunderstorms to continue across the eastern areas with locally heavy rains causing some flooding this afternoon into evening. Showers and thunderstorms out west will organize and move east across our area this evening into the overnight hours. This will cause another round of locally heavy rains. With the rains ongoing in the east adding to the saturated soils...the threat for flooding will continue into the overnight hours especially across eastern areas. An upper level trough will move northeast across the plains states on Wednesday forcing a dryline into the Edwards Plateau and Rio Grande Plains on Friday. Showers and thunderstorms will develop along and east of the dryline. More locally heavy rains are possible with PWS near 1.8 inches east of I-35. CAPEs of 2000 to 4000 j/kg and 0-6 km shear will allow for strong to severe storms this afternoon through Friday evening. LONG TERM (Saturday through Thursday)... A series of upper level impulses will move across the southern tier of states. A moist and unstable airmass lingers over our area due to a persistent southeasterly lower flow off the Gulf of Mexico. As a result, periods of showers and thunderstorms are expected Saturday through Thursday. Similar to the short term, a few strong to severe storms and locally heavy rains with flooding are possible. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
