Area forecast discussion, Jun 1, 3:17 PM CDT, 3 hours 44 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 317 PM CDT WED JUN 1 2016 .SHORT TERM (Tonight through Thursday Night)... Upper low can be seen on water vapor just south of the AZ/NM border. This is the system that will be coming into Texas over the next several days bringing the continued chance for showers and thunderstorms. This afternoon it appears that South Central Texas is in between lift areas, one to the east near the TX/LA border and more lift over the Edwards Plateau and the Big Bend. Will continue with high pop and the wording of locally heavy rainfall overnight. It appears from the latest meso models that a cluster or MCS should develop out west and move through the central and southern sections of the CWA. This risk of storms will continue to be high on Thursday as the upper low moves into Texas and stalls over Central Texas. The flood threat will remain high with saturated soils. The pattern has shown breaks in the activity as the large MCS systems do a good job in bringing stable area in their wake. The timing and exact location of these systems will still be problematic in giving any sort of forecast specifics. Flooding threat will remain high. Cant rule out some Severe Storms with a Marginal risk forecast by SPC. Marginal risk is mainly south of the area on Thursday. && .LONG TERM (Friday through Wednesday)... Both the European and GFS show the upper low stalling over the area on Thursday Night through Saturday before drifting southwest into Mexico over the weekend into early next week. Keeping with the 3-5 inches, isolated 10 inch totals. WPC and models are showing that much of the precip will be east and south of the area but with the upper low centered over Texas we will run the continued risk of daytime development of storms as well as night time development if the low center develops more of a warm core. By the start of next week the low is forecast to drift sw into Mexico. This will take the majority of the lift with it with only a 20 pop on Monday and no pop on Tuesday. Cant rule out some isolated activity next week just due to residual moisture left behind and daytime heating. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
