Area forecast discussion, Jun 3, 12:43 AM CDT, 3 hours 6 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX
1243 AM CDT Sat Jun 3 2017

.AVIATION...
Scattered thunderstorms are approaching DRT. They are about two hours
away and should affect the airport for about two hours when they
arrive. They could drop VIS to MVFR. In Austin and San Antonio expect
CIGs to drop to MVFR within the next hour or two and then drop
further to IFR overnight. MVFR CIGs will develop at DRT by around
12Z. All terminals should improve to VFR early afternoon. We expect
more showers and thunderstorms starting in the afternoon at DRT and
spreading east reaching San Antonio and Austin by evening.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 306 PM CDT Fri Jun 2 2017/

SHORT TERM (Tonight through Saturday Night)...
The MCV this morning across the southwest CWA has weakened and
sheared apart and conditions have stabilized in its wake across the
area. For the remainder of the afternoon and early evening coverage
of any additional showers and storms should remain isolated across
the eastern Hill Country, Central Texas, and far eastern CWA. Another
shortwave rotating through the base of the upper level trough has
begun to initiate storms across the Permian Basin and Far West Texas.
This disturbance will slide east tonight and some of the storms
could impact northern and western areas of the CWA late tonight
though early Saturday morning, primarily across the southern Edwards
Plateau and Hill Country.

The upper level trough will sharpen and move east on Saturday and by
afternoon and evening the axis will stretch from Oklahoma south into
West Central Texas and the Big Bend. For most of the day on Saturday
coverage of storms across the CWA should remain rather isolated. But
by late afternoon upstream convection, developing from forcing
associated with a shortwave rotating through the base of the trough,
should enter the northwest CWA and then develop southward through
the Hill Country and Rio Grande Saturday evening. The storms could
possible move into the east into the Hill Country and I-35 corridor
overnight. A few of these storms could contain locally heavy
rainfall, with models showing 1.8-2 inches of precipitable water
pooled across portions of the western CWA.

LONG TERM (Sunday through Friday)...
On Sunday the mid level trough axis (possibly closed off) rotates
into the central portions of the CWA along with the deep 2 inch
precipitable water pool also sliding east. Assuming Saturday night's
convection doesn't become too organized that it works over the
atmosphere, Sunday should see high pops across the eastern 2/3rds of
the CWA, including the Hill Country and along and east of I-35, again
with isolated pockets of locally heavy rainfall possible. The
showers and storms could linger into Sunday night east of I-35.

On Monday the mid and upper level trough axis slides farther east,
centering from East Texas down through the Coastal Bend. There should
still however be a moisture pool of around 2 inches of precipitable
water located over the eastern half of the CWA. With forcing from a
spoke of vorticity rotating into the the CWA around the back side of
the mid and upper level trough/low expect re-development of scattered
to possibly numerous showers and storms across the eastern half of
the CWA Monday afternoon.

By Tuesday the trough slides out into the western Gulf of Mexico and
drier air works in from the north, with POPs primarily confined to
the southeast CWA.
