Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX
1009 PM CDT Wed May 10 2017

.UPDATE...
An isolated severe supercell thunderstorm that crossed the border
just southeast of Del Rio and has tracked east down Highway 90
produced at least quarter size hail (and likely significant hail
sizes in excess of 2 inches based on radar). This storm has held
together into Uvalde County, but a few runs of the HRRR that have
best handled this cell show that it will weaken and dissipate
somewhere between Uvalde and Hondo. Aircraft soundings within the
last hour from SAT show a fairly stout cap remains in place at 800
mb and CG lightning continues to trend downwards, so this forecast
seems reasonable. Thus, we have updated POPs to reflect this cell
tracking along the Highway 90 corridor, maintaining 20 POPs in San
Antonio in the unlikely occurrence that this cell is able to hold
together into Bexar County.

Another supercell located 30-40 miles to the southwest of Del Rio is
likely producing severe hail at the current moment. Although SPC
Mesoanalysis shows that some convective inhibition is developing in
this area into the Rio Grande Plains, the 00Z sounding at DRT was
rather unstable with 2400 J/kg of CAPE and minimal CIN. Model
soundings indicate that the atmosphere should stabilize between
10pm-1am in the Rio Grande Plains, but this storm should be able to
cross the border and maintain itself before it gradually dissipates
near the Highway 90 corridor in our western counties (potentially
over the same areas that already had one round of hail today). Water
vapor imagery also shows a shortwave moving into the region, which
combined with 35 knots of sfc-3 km shear and 60+ knots of sfc-6 km
shear evident on the 00Z DRT sounding, should be more than enough to
maintain the supercell for a few hours before it weakens. SPC
Mesoanalysis also shows SRH values of 200-300 m^2/s^2 over these
areas, so a tornado cannot be completely ruled out with this storm.

Once that cell weakens, the main show into the overnight hours for
the Edwards Plateau and perhaps the far western Hill Country will be
the convection that is currently developing along a retreating
dryline to our west between Fort Stockton and Ozona. These cells will
continue to develop over the next few hours and potentially merge
into a complex moving east-southeast. Model trends are generally
showing that this convection will weaken prior to entering our CWA,
but with the shortwave forcing aloft felt it would be prudent to keep
30-50 POPs showing that this convection. Although this convection
should not make it into the Interstate 35 corridor and the Coastal
Plains, isolated showers may develop just before sunrise, so we have
maintained 20 POPs there. Thunderstorm chances tomorrow afternoon
will depend on where any remnant outflow boundaries set up along with
the position of the weak front expected to move through the region,
but we are still expecting isolated to scattered showers and
thunderstorms (with a marginal risk of severe thunderstorms). More
updates on the severe potential for tomorrow will be given in the
Midnight shift's forecast package.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 638 PM CDT Wed May 10 2017/

UPDATE...
00Z Aviation Update Below.

AVIATION...
VFR conditions prevail early this evening across South Central Texas.
Of immediate concern are TSRAs crossing out of Mexico near DRT.
These TSRAs have the potential to impact DRT now through 02Z with
gusty winds. Can not rule out some small hail, although not indicated
in the TAF. Kept mention of VCTS in the DRT TAF through 04Z in case
upstream convection re-develops along the higher terrain of Mexico.
Additional, a broken line of storms may try to develop after 06Z
between SJT and DRT, however these storms are expected to stay north
of DRT and also weaken early Thursday morning before reaching
portions of the Hill Country and Central Texas.

MVFR ceilings will develop SAT-AUS and through the Hill Country
02Z-06Z. Some indications that IFR ceilings may develop at SAT an
portions of the Hill Country closer to 12Z. Isolated to scattered
SHRAs may also develop through this region early Thursday morning and
expand northeast and east through the day. A few TSTMs can not be
ruled out. VFR conditions developing after 18Z.

SE winds currently 10-15 kts at many areas, with gusts 20-25 kts out
toward DRT. Winds will decrease overnight to around 5-10 kts and may
turn N to NE at DRT around 09Z-12Z.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 309 PM CDT Wed May 10 2017/

SHORT TERM (Tonight through Thursday Night)...
Isolated convection is already being observed along the dry line
located from San Angelo through central Val Verde county but still
west of Del Rio. This area is characterized by surface dewpoints
around 70 degrees, low level flow out of the southeast convergent to
the dry line, an uncapped environment and SBCAPE values over 4000
J/KG. Satellite trends are showing updrafts are having difficulty
staying upright with very strong winds, near 100 kts, aloft. A speed
maximum at 500 mb is currently aiding in the lifting in the mid
levels however. Thus, updrafts will be battling with a lack of
consistent upper level forcing and should stay quite isolated along
the dry line through the afternoon. However, very large hail will be
the biggest concern with all the instability available in this area.
Damaging straight line winds are also possible as DCAPE values over
1000 J/KG were analyzed in RAP proximity soundings.

Later this evening, a combination of better upper level forcing
coincident with the dry line and an intensifying LLJ will allow
convection to develop around the 02-04Z time frame according to hi-
res models. Rapid growth due to the aforementioned unstable
environment will further the threat for large hail and damaging
winds along the dry line while these cells organize into clusters
and begin to shift eastward. As this occurs, TTU-WRF and HRRR
solutions agree on producing a stout cold pool and producing outflow,
eventually weakening the surface based storms as they approach the
periphery of the Edwards Plateau near Junction and Kerrville.

By tomorrow morning, elevated showers and isolated storms will
likely still be lingering across the Hill Country along outflow from
the overnight activity and may act as the focus for afternoon
development again. Meanwhile, the dryline is progged to push farther
east as the main upper low weakens and broadens over the Red River
Valley. As the low continues to push off to the east, it should take
PoP chances with it by tomorrow night.

LONG TERM (Friday through Wednesday)...
Dry conditions will linger through the weekend as H5 ridging sets up
over the state. Afternoon RH values will fall into the 20-30 percent
range and may result in elevated fire weather conditions, especially
Friday as the surface pressure gradient yields 10-20 kts winds across
the Plateau. Next opportunity for PoPs appears to be late Sunday as
another dry line sets up over West Texas and afternoon dry line
convection becomes a possibility. Another H5 low from the Pacific
northwest will eject energy over the region through the majority of
the week thus low PoPs have been included just about each afternoon
for western areas near the dry line.
