Area Forecast Discussion

.DISCUSSION...
Heavy rain will continue to be the main weather concern for the
next few days. An upper level low centered over southwest Texas
this morning will move east into Central Texas Thursday and
then meander before starting to sink southward Saturday
afternoon. Upper level ridging will build in from the west early
next week bringing dry weather and near seasonal normal
temperatures.

A slowly-moving cold front that extended southeast of a San
Angelo-Abilene-Wichita Falls-Tulsa line can be seen on the 08z /3
a.m. CDT/ surface analysis. Persistent showers and thunderstorms
have produced an estimated 1 to over 4 inches of rain near this
boundary from north of Graham to southwest of Nocona. A CWOP site
located 1 mile southwest of Bowie had recorded 3.25 inches as of 3
am. The cold front is expected to slowly sink southeast farther
into the forecast area today. The high resolution models bring a
round of showers and thunderstorms up from the south today.
Looking at the current trends this makes sense, so have carried
categorical pops 80-90s across the southeast half of the forecast
area for today with likely /60-70s/ elsewhere. With diffluent flow
aloft and precipitable water values of 1.6-1.7 inches, storms
should be very efficient rain producers. thus have kept the Flash
Flood Watch as is for the entire forecast area.

The potential for heavy rain will continue through Friday. As the
upper level low starts to sink south, the areal coverage of rain
should start to decrease from northwest to southeast Friday night
and Saturday. Rain chances will continue through Sunday mainly
south of I-20. There will be some low rain chances across Central
Texas into Monday. As noted above, with upper ridging building in
from the west, dry weather expected for the early to middle part
of next week.

.AVIATION...
/ISSUED 1215 AM CDT THU JUN 2 2016/
/06Z TAFs/

Convection is slowly increasing in areal coverage across the
region tonight and expect slow moving isolated to scattered
showers and storms to continue through the night. Will carry VCSH
through the night but an isolated thunderstorm or two could impact
any of the TAF sites overnight. In addition, MVFR and IFR cigs
will return and persist through most of the valid TAF period.

An upper level low will slowly move east across the western
portions of the state tonight and Thursday. This will help to
increase the lift across the region and increase rain chances on
Thursday. There will likely be a break in the rain Thursday
morning but widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected to
spread across the region Thursday afternoon and persist through
the end of the valid TAF period. Will carry SHRA VCTS after 17-18Z
tomorrow as this large area of rain persists. There may be brief
breaks but high-res guidance suggests a nearly continuous feed of
rain during this time. One inhibiting factor may be a convective
complex moving across South and Southeast Texas interfering with
the moisture influx into the region.

In association with the upper level trough, a surface low will
move into the region also aiding the lift for convection. The low
will turn the surface winds to the northeast and possibly north
during the day tomorrow. Winds will remain below 10 kts.
