Area forecast discussion, Jun 5, 6:34 PM CDT, 3 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX
634 PM CDT Mon Jun 5 2017

.AVIATION.../00Z Update/
Another day with scattered convection across the eastern half of the
area on the trailing edge of the upper level low/trof that has now
moved east of our region. A few of the storms have been strong with
wind gusts to to 45 knots and pea to dime sized hail. Should see a
decrease in coverage and intensity after sunset and most convection
should be done by 06z. Could still see some isolated storms across
the coastal plains overnight and into the early morning. As the upper
level low/trof continues east on Tuesday will see a noticeable
decrease in convection. With NW flow across the area we will continue
to see good cumulus development and isolated storms once again. This
forecast period will begin with VFR conditions. Will likely see MVFR
cigs develop around 11Z-12Z at the I-35 sites along with patchy fog.
Will return to VFR conditions 15Z- 17Z. In or near convection winds
will be variable and gusty, but once convection has moved away
northerly flow will resume near 5 knots. After 15z Tuesday northerly
winds increase to 10-15 knots.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 311 PM CDT Mon Jun 5 2017/

SHORT TERM (Tonight through Tuesday Night)...
The latest water vapor satellite loop continues to show cyclonic flow
aloft across south central Texas this afternoon. This will keep our
area in active northwest flow aloft for the next couple of days. We
are already seeing some convection develop across the region with
daytime heating and we should continue to see at least scattered
convection through this evening for areas generally along and east of
Highway 281. A few strong to severe storms are possible with damaging
wind gusts and large hail the main concern. The latest mesoanalysis
shows a corridor of steeper low-level lapse rates oriented from deep
south Texas into the I-35 corridor. This would tend to favor damaging
wind gusts, but as mentioned above we could certainly see some large
hail. With the loss of daytime heating, we should see a decrease in
the coverage of convection and we will only mention a low chance for
showers and storms near the coastal plains for the overnight hours.
On Tuesday, we will continue to see an active northwest flow aloft,
but should also see a decrease in moisture due to northerly flow in
the low-levels. Northwest flow aloft can often produce convection and
with the onset of daytime heating, we will keep a low chance for
showers and storms for areas generally along and east of a Georgetown
to New Braunfels line. Similar to today, we should see a decrease in
convection Tuesday evening with the loss of daytime heating.

LONG TERM (Wednesday through Monday)...
For Wednesday and Thursday, we will continue to see northwest flow
aloft with northerly flow in the low-levels. While we can't
completely rule out the possibility of some isolated convection,
suspect the low-level drying will result in rain chances too low to
mention in the forecast. On Friday, southerly flow in the low-levels
returns by late in the day. Southerly flow in the low-levels
continues for the upcoming weekend into early next week, while the
subtropical ridge axis begins to nudge in from the west. This will
result in near normal temperatures along with increasing humidity.
