$$What 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 Dec 6, 5:44 AM CST, 3 hours 53 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 6, 5:44 AM CST, 3 hours 53 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 544 AM CST Thu Dec 6 2018 .UPDATE... Ceilings have been gradually lowering early this morning and will continue to lower through midday. IFR to LIFR ceilings are already occurring across the Hill Country with MVFR ceilings elsewhere. A gradual lowering of the ceilings to IFR along the I-35 corridor and Rio Grande, including SAT/AUS/DRT, is expected 13Z-18Z. Can't rule out LIFR at SAT, but not explicitly indicated in the TAF. In addition, some -SHRA and -DZ will develop across the region. Improvement over ceilings back into MVFR may occur along the Rio Grande at DRT late afternoon, but remainder of the Hill Country and I-35 corridor region looks to remain IFR in the afternoon. Conditions deteriorate this evening and overnight, with LIFR ceilings and IFR to MVFR visibility forecast to develop areawide along with -RA. A slow moving cold front will move through northern areas overnight and southern areas Friday morning, with moderate to pockets of brief heavy rainfall possible. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 426 AM CST Thu Dec 6 2018/ SHORT TERM (Today through Friday)... Area Doppler radars are detecting light echoes across the International border Mexico/US and portions of the Rio Grande early this morning. This activity is expected to continue overnight and spread eastward and across the rest of South Central Texas later today. Increased moisture coupled with a low level jet of 30 to 40 knots according to SPC Mesoanalysis (925MB/850MB) maps will continue to tap into a passing mid-level short-wave to keep our area cloudy and showery for most of today. However, rainfall accumulations should be limited to one quarter inch or less for the period. High temperatures are expected to reach only the upper 50s/lower 60s across the Hill Country and mid to upper 60s along and southeast of Interstate 35 and south of Highway 90. Rain chances increase this evening into Friday as a cold front moves across the area. The shower activity is expected to intensify as the boundary approaches the Hill Country. This is what we know as far as the timing of the cold front. HiRes models bring the boundary across the Hill Country/southern Edwards Plateau around 8 PM this evening. Medium range models are around 3 hours behind with it. One thing for sure that once the front arrives, showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected along the cold front and ahead of it (warmer sector). Pwats will be on the increase overnight/early Friday and averaging 1.5 to 1.8 inches through the period. These are well-above the climate values for this time of the year and suggest locally heavy rain. As the day progresses on Friday, the cold front will continue to slowly push to the southeast and into the coastal plains in the afternoon. As earlier mentioned with the faster movement of the boundary, the axis for the heavier precipitation is expected to be southeast of the I-35 corridor and east of Interstate 37. The slower solution brings the axis of the heavier precipitation just to the southeast of I-35 corridor and east of Interstate 37. A second round of showers and thunderstorms is expected late afternoon/early evening across the Rio Grande and then to move eastward throughout the night into Saturday morning as an potent upper level system moves across our area. This will bring locally heavy rain across the area especially southeast of I-35 and east of I-37 in addition to a marginal risk for severe thunderstorms. Main treats could be damaging winds and hail with stronger storms. Storm totals rainfall forecast for the event are as follow: 1 to 3 inches along and west of Highway 83, 3 to 5 inches east of Highway 83 to Highway 281 and 4 to 6 inches points east of Highway 281. A Flash Flood watch is in effect from Friday afternoon through noon Saturday. Locally heavy rain is expected for the period with likely flash flooding across area roadways, underpasses, low lying locations and poor drainage places. Small creeks and tributaries could be impacted as well. LONG TERM (Friday Night through Wednesday)... The upper level system will move across the area Friday night into Saturday morning. Rain will come to an end from west to east during the overnight hours and clearing the entire area Saturday morning. The rest of the upcoming weekend looks dry with cooler temperatures. Light freeze are expected Sunday, Monday and Tuesday mornings of next week. Next chance for rain comes Wednesday and Thursday as couple of frontal boundaries move across the area. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

A Flash Flood Watch has been issued for these areas, in effect from Friday afternoon through Saturday morning. Flooding of creeks, smaller tributaries, low water crossings, and urban areas that are normally subject to flooding will be possible. In addition, there is a marginal risk some storms across far southeastern areas could become strong to severe Friday afternoon and evening. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
