AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AUSTIN/SAN ANTONIO TX
1217 AM CDT WED MAY 11 2016

.AVIATION...
SCATTERED CONVECTION CONTINUES AROUND KAUS AND WILL MENTION -TSRA
UNTIL 7Z. ALL ACTIVITY HAS BEEN NORTH OF THE SAN ANTONIO SITES AND
WILL THE TAFS THERE RAIN FREE. SHOULD SEE MVFR CEILINGS DEVELOP
SHORTLY THEN LOWERING TO IFR A FEW HOURS LATER. VFR SHOULD RETURN
AROUND 15Z. CANT RULE OUT A STRAY SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORMS IN THE
AFTERNOON HOURS...BUT PROBABILITIES WERE TOO LOW TO MENTION AT
THIS TIME.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 958 PM CDT TUE MAY 10 2016/

UPDATE...
WE WILL ALLOW THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH TO EXPIRE AT THE TOP
OF THE HOUR. ONGOING STORMS ARE BORDERLINE AND THERE MAY BE ONE
TWO SEVERE STORMS WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS...BUT THINK THE
THREAT IS TOO ISOLATED TO EXTEND THE WATCH.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 653 PM CDT TUE MAY 10 2016/

AVIATION.../00Z TAF CYCLE/

VFR CONDITIONS ARE ONGOING ACROSS THE REGION AS LOW-LVL CLOUDS
DISSIPATE OUT THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. A
LARGE TSRA CLUSTER IS ONGOING NEAR KSJT THAT WILL SLOWLY PIVOT
EAST AND SOUTHEAST INTO THE SOUTH-CENTRAL TEXAS HILL COUNTRY
THROUGH THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. THIS ACTIVITY WILL APPROACH KAUS
IN THE 02-04Z TIME FRAME. SOME STORMS COULD BE STRONG TO SEVERE
ACROSS THE HILL COUNTRY TO THE KAUS AREA. TURBULENCE AND LARGE
HAIL COULD OCCUR AND GROUND WIND SPEEDS OF WIND COULD REACH
UPWARDS OF 30-50 KT IN LOCALIZED SPOTS NEAR THE STRONGEST OF
STORMS. UPDRAFTS OF THESE STORMS WILL REACH NEAR 40-50 KFT. TSRA
ACTIVITY SHOULD REMAIN NORTH OF KSAT BUT APPROACH TRAJECTORIES
FROM THE NORTHEAST MAY HAVE TO CONTEND WITH TSRA UPDRAFTS.

STORM STRENGTH WILL DECREASE AFTER 04Z WITH TSRA ACTIVITY
DECREASING OVERNIGHT. SOME TSRA COULD BE POSSIBLE NEAR KDRT
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. SURFACE WINDS WILL BE OUT OF THE
SOUTH/SOUTHEAST AT 5-10 KT OUTSIDE OF STRONGER STORMS OVERNIGHT.
SOUTH/SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL PICK UP TO NEAR 10-15 KT AND GUSTS TO
NEAR 20 KT WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 250 PM CDT TUE MAY 10 2016/

SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT)...
DRYLINE HAS RETREATED INTO WESTERN TEXAS WHILE A WEAK MID LEVEL
IMPULSE IS APPROACHING THE RIO GRANDE. CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES
ARE RAPIDLY BEING REACHED. THE BEST MOISTURE CONVERGENCE IS OVER
CENTRAL TEXAS AND OVER THE SERRANIAS DEL BURRO MOUNTAINS TO ALONG
THE RIO GRANDE PLAINS. THESE TWO AREAS WILL SEE RAPID DEVELOPMENT
OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. FORECAST CAPES
UP TO 4500 J/KG AND 0-6 KM SHEAR OF 30 KTS ARE INDICATED MAKING
STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS VERY POSSIBLE. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH
HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR VAL VERDE COUNTY AND THE HILL COUNTRY TO THE
I-35 CORRIDOR FROM SAN MARCOS NORTH...INCLUDING THE AUSTIN METRO
AREA THROUGH 10 PM CDT OR 03Z. MAIN THREAT IS LARGE...POTENTIALLY
VERY LARGE TO NEAR BASEBALL SIZE...HAIL. DAMAGING WIND GUSTS ARE
ALSO POSSIBLE IF STORMS CAN ORGANIZE. WITH STORM SCALE
ENHANCEMENT...A TORNADO CANNOT BE RULED OUT. A STRENGTHENING LOWER
LEVEL JET SHOULD ALLOW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO MOVE ACROSS
THE HILL COUNTRY AND RIO GRANDE PLAINS TO ALONG THE I-35 CORRIDOR
LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING. DURING THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS...THE AIRMASS STABILIZES AND UPWARD FORCING WANES WITH
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ENDING. ON WEDNESDAY...ANOTHER WEAK MID
LEVEL IMPULSE AND DAYTIME HEATING MAY GENERATE ISOLATED SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS. CAPE AND SHEAR VALUES SIMILAR TO TODAY ARE
FORECAST MAKING STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE. HOWEVER... THE
CAPPING INVERSION IS STRONGER WITH ONLY VERY ISOLATED STRONG TO
SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE.

LONG TERM (THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)...
A WEAK COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE HILL COUNTRY TO ALONG THE
ESCARPMENT THURSDAY AFTERNOON INTO EVENING AND THEN STALLS OVER
SOUTHERN TEXAS TO THE SERRANIAS DEL BURRO MOUNTAINS OF MEXICO BY
FRIDAY WHILE A 925 TO 850 MB BOUNDARY STALLS OVER CENTRAL TEXAS.
UPWARD FORCING BY THE FRONT AND THE ELEVATED BOUNDARIES BRING
CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE BEST CHANCES NEAR
THE ELEVATED BOUNDARY. CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS INDICATE SOME STRONG
TO SEVERE STORMS MAY BE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY ON THURSDAY. MID TO
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BUILDS OVER SOUTHERN AND SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS
ON SATURDAY. SUBSIDENCE INHIBITS CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT...EXCEPT
FLOW UP THE SERRANIAS DEL BURRO MOUNTAINS ALLOWS FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THERE. WEAK STEERING FLOW MAY TAKE THEM
ACROSS THE RIO GRANDE. THE RIDGE FLATTENS ON SUNDAY WITH WEAK
IMPULSES AND THE DRYLINE BRINGING CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.
