$$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 Sep 14, 7:01 AM CDT, 3 hours 13 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 14, 7:01 AM CDT, 3 hours 13 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 701 AM CDT Fri Sep 14 2018 .AVIATION... IFR to MVFR ceilings have filled in across the terminals this morning and are expected to persist through 14-16Z this morning. Regional radar mosaic shows rain bands associated with a disturbance/surface low in the northwest Gulf moving inland from VCT to IAH and simple extrapolation of these bands places them into the Interstate 35 terminals around 18Z. Based on radar trends and consensus of high resolution guidance have prevailed SHRA after 18Z for AUS, SAT, SSF. Expecting to see isolated to scattered SHRA develop ahead of these bands with heating later today. Periods of SHRA will continue through the end of the TAF period as the surface low lifts towards LRD with visibilities dropping into the MVFR (and possibly IFR) range in heavier cells. Expect northeast winds less than 10 knots veer towards the east by late in the TAF period as the surface low moves towards Mexico. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 421 AM CDT Fri Sep 14 2018/ SHORT TERM (Today through Saturday night)... A slight tightening of the surface pressure gradient is noted roughly 50 NM NE of BRO this morning by SPC mesoanalysis/LAPS data. Rapid refresh depictions of the low show the surface low moving onshore over S Padre Island early this afternoon; timing is quickly running out for a possible formation of a depression and the overnight updates from NHC reduces the possible formation of a depression to 30 percent. Given this scenario taking shape, the 00z deterministic models separate themselves with non-Canadian consensus of the NAM/GFS/ECM looking reasonable for precipitation forecasts across the area. This means our area-wide storm total rain possibilities lower to mainly 1-3 inches with isolated totals around 5 inches. The 06Z NAM generates a nocturnal core rainfall max closer to 6 inches over the Frio/Atascosa county border for Saturday morning and another possible core rain event on the eastern slopes of the Burro Mountains Sunday morning. This is perhaps where our emphasis should be in terms of river responses that could get into moderate flooding. This means the Rio Grande, the Frio, and the Atascosa. Other rivers south and west of US Hwy 71 could see some brief minor river flooding from areas that get mainly daytime training patterns to set up, and the soils remain damp enough for a spotty flash flood event as well. Keep in mind that the 00Z NAM is still preferred over the 06Z run as the 06Z run winds up with a more compact low than the unfavored 00Z CMC model run for 12Z Saturday. Nevertheless we might consider the 06Z NAM a reasonable worst case scenario. Will leave it to the day shift to make westward expansions of the watch into say Val Verde County, as they will be able to confirm the landfall of the tropical feature an how the models are performing up to that point. LONG TERM (Sunday through Thursday)... By daytime Sunday, the better rain chances will have shifted well to the west of Hwy 281 and mainly west of US Hwy 83. The pwat values remain close to 2 inches across the area, so will continue to show daily diurnal rain chances into Wednesday with relative stability expected at night. However, blended guidances for Wednesday night may signal the arrival of a new potential heavy rainfall pattern that would carry out beyond the periods of the extended forecast. The NHC morning Tropical weather outlook shows a 50 percent chance of an eastern pacific cyclone forming south of Mexico with enhanced upper troughing and monsoonal flow developing over New Mexico. This is a recent trend of the models, so some of the blended guidances still carry the artifacts of more stable model runs in the past. The blended guidance thus makes for a happy medium as future runs could still revert back to a stronger upper ridge holding in place over West TX. This is just a feature to keep an eye on for now. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
