ALLENWhat 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 Aug 25, 6:17 AM CDT, 4 hours 2 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 25, 6:17 AM CDT, 4 hours 2 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 617 AM CDT Fri Aug 25 2017 .AVIATION... VFR conditions prevail this morning. As Harvey approaches the middle Texas Coast today, bands of SHRA/TSRA and high end MVFR/low end VFR CIGs will spread across our area later this morning through evening. As Harvey makes landfall later tonight into early Saturday morning, conditions deteriorate with CIGs falling to IFR and VSBYs to MVFR/IFR in SHRA/TSRA. The greatest impacts will be at the I-35 TAF sites of KAUS, KSAT, KSSF. N to NE winds less than 10 KTs increase to 8 to 18 KTs with gusts to 30 KTs later this morning through afternoon, then increase to 17 to 27 KTs with gusts to 40 KTs tonight into early morning. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 437 AM CDT Fri Aug 25 2017/ ..Hurricane Harvey to bring life-threatening heavy rain to portions of South-Central Texas late tonight through next Monday... ..Devastating mainstem river flooding is expected east of I-35 over the weekend and early next week... SHORT TERM (Today through Sunday)... Bottom Line Upfront - Key Messaging Points: 1) A life-threatening flash and river flooding event is expected across inland portions of South-Central Texas. 2) Average rainfall amounts of 10 to 20 inches are expected along and east of I-35 starting tonight through Tuesday. This potentially includes the cities of San Antonio and Austin. 3) Isolated higher amounts in excess of 25 inches are possible near the Highway 77 and I-10 corridors in the coastal plains. 4) A tight rainfall gradient is expected on the western and northern edge of the precipitation shield, potentially along the I-35 corridor. Small shifts in the forecast track of Harvey and where it stalls this weekend could result in large differences in rainfall totals. 5) 70 to 80 mph wind speeds are expected across the Hurricane Warning area. Expect large trees to be snapped, power lines downed, and damage to homes could occur. Power and communication outages likely. 6) 40 to 50 mph winds are expected across the Tropical Storm Warning area. Damage to trees and power lines is possible, leading to scattered power outages. Discussion... Weak subsidence ahead of Hurricane Harvey continues to keep South Central Texas free of convection tonight. However, showers and thunderstorms associated with the outermost rainbands of Harvey are beginning to move onto the middle Texas Gulf Coast. These rainbands should move into our southern and southeastern-most counties later this morning, with most hi-res models showing this activity will gradually dissipate. However, weak isentropic ascent on the northeast side of Harvey may be able to maintain the strength of this convective activity a bit further inland than predicted into the I-10 corridor, but still east of the I-35 corridor. Additional rainbands should help expand the area of scattered to widespread showers and thunderstorms further west towards the Interstate 35 corridor by mid-afternoon. However, locally heavy downpours should generally remain south of I-10 east of the I-35 corridor until expanding north and west of these areas Friday evening into the overnight hours on Saturday. Heavy rain impacts will increase substantially going into Saturday morning and increase through the day. Regardless of the exact location and intensity of Harvey at landfall somewhere along the middle Texas Gulf Coast, confidence remains high that Harvey will slow down as it moves inland on Saturday morning and eventually stalls later on Saturday into Sunday. There continues to be uncertainty in exactly where Harvey will stall, but the current NHC forecast has it stalling around Goliad County Saturday evening into Sunday before drifting southeast Monday. Continued regeneration of rainbands east and south of Harvey's center over the Gulf will wrap around the circulation into the Coastal Plains and into the Interstate 35 corridor where terrain may provide additional lift despite northeast surface flow. Therefore, our forecast of average rainfall amounts of 10-20 inches along and east of the I-35 corridor still seems reasonable. Isolated rainfall amounts in excess of 25 inches will be possible primarily east of I-35 and south of I-10. We may see these higher values into the I-35 corridor even north of I-10 if convective bands move northwest perpendicular to the terrain change along the Escarpment on the I-35 corridor, but chances would be lower with the current forecast track. Nevertheless, this possibility along with a slight westward expansion of 6-10 inch rainfall amounts in some models has caused us to expand the Flash Flood Watch to include Kendall and Blanco Counties. The uncertainty in rainfall totals in this area into the I-35 corridor remains large as there will likely be a sharp gradient along the northern and western fringes of Harvey's rain shield. The watch is currently set to expire on Monday morning, but this may need to be expanded in time depending on when Harvey finally begins to track further east. It should again be restated that the western and northern edge of precipitation will be difficult to predict along with the location of individual training bands. The best case scenario for Austin and San Antonio metro areas is that they are just of the western precipitation edge and receive as little as 2-4 inches. The worst case scenario could equate to 15-20 inches of rainfall due to the exact track and location of individual bands. Confidence is high in that there will be significant rainfall particularly over our southeast counties, but the confidence is low on just exactly where the western and northern cut-off will be. Stay tuned as hi-res models attempt to help resolve this boundary. LONG TERM (Monday through next Thursday)... Main highlight continues to focus on Harvey even into early next week as it remains nearly stationary over the mid-Texas coast. Significant impacts could be ongoing from river and flash flooding from over the prior weekend of expected heavy rainfall and the continued rain expectation Monday and Tuesday could further exacerbate flooding issues, especially across the coastal plains. Experimental water modeling suggests widespread moderate to major river flooding across portions of the coastal Plains during this time-frame. Given the expected rainfall totals, these indications seems quite reasonable. While wind hazards will be much lower by Monday/Tuesday, the heavy rain threat for areas along and east of I- 35 will remain with only slowly diminishing rain rates and amounts by late Tuesday. Finally, the system will shift slowly eastward by Wednesday away from south-central Texas. Overall model envelope is in good agreement that tropical cyclone Harvey will move inland across south-central TX and then stall Saturday. By early next week it will only drift back southeast over the coast per weak steering currents and blocking high pressure systems over the western CONUS and the eastern Gulf of Mexico. Have maintained elevated rain chances along and east of I-35/37 through at least Monday with slow tapering chances Tuesday and then reducing to 20% or less by Wednesday. Despite the rainfall ending, already ongoing river flooding will likely persist across the coastal plains and perhaps across the I-35/37 corridor if Harvey's center is able to move inland farther or stall longer. By Thursday, the likely post-tropical cyclone Harvey will slowly pull away to the north and east as a weak longwave trough pushes across the Ohio River Valley. It is possible that the remnants move out slower and the continuation of low-end rain chances might need to be increased into Thursday for I-35 and coastal plain areas. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Hurricane Harvey will approach the middle Texas coast today and make landfall along the middle Texas coast late tonight or early Saturday morning. A Hurricane Warning is in effect for 70 to 80 mph winds across Karnes and Dewitt Counties. A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for winds of 40 to 50 mph across Atascosa, Bastrop, Bexar, Caldwell, Fayette, Gonzales, Guadalupe, Lavaca, and Wilson. A Flash Flood Watch is in effect from this afternoon through Monday morning across counties along and east of a line from Georgetown to Comfort to Jourdanton. There is a low risk of brief tornadoes east of I-35 and south of I-10 this evening into tonight associated with tropical rain bands. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday. Hurricane Harvey will stall or move very slowly over eastern parts of South Central Texas or near the Texas coastal areas. A Hurricane Warning is in effect for 70 to 80 mph winds across Karnes and Dewitt Counties. A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for winds of 40 to 50 mph across Atascosa, Bastrop, Bexar, Caldwell, Fayette, Gonzales, Guadalupe, Lavaca, and Wilson. A Flash Flood Watch is in effect from this afternoon through Monday morning across areas along and east of a line from Georgetown to Comfort to Jourdanton. At this stage, life- threatening rainfall and flash flooding appears imminent for much of South Central Texas, specifically from San Antonio and areas south and east of the I-37 and I-10 corridors. Storm total rainfall amounts from today through Tuesday could be in the 10 to 20 inch range along and east of I-35 with isolated totals in excess of 25 inches possible. Devastating river flooding is also very likely east of Interstate 35 and south of Interstate 10. This includes the cities of Austin and San Antonio. Devastating flood impacts are expected to last many days along mainstem rivers east of I-35 and south of I-10. There is a low risk of brief tornadoes east of I-35 and south of I-10 this weekend associated with tropical rain bands. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will be encouraged over the next several days while Harvey evolves.
