Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX
1230 AM CDT Tue Oct 9 2018

.AVIATION...
SAT and SSF have IFR ceilings which should only last for a few hours.
AUS is VFR and DRT is MVFR. By 08Z or 09Z all terminals should be
MVFR. There will be showers and thunderstorms scattered across the
region through the night and day. The best chance for convection will
be during the afternoon. Convection will likely lower visibility to
MVFR or IFR.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 927 PM CDT Mon Oct 8 2018/

UPDATE...
New showers and thunderstorms have developed south of Bexar County
the last hour and now affecting parts of Bexar County and areas along
the I-35 corridor. Looking at the latest water vapor images, there
is an upper level short-wave moving across the southern part of
south central Texas where the activity is taking place. Also, the SPC
Mesoscale Analysis website points out to an area of upper-level
divergence right over the area where the upper level wave is moving
across and lineup well with the I-35 corridor. Latest HRRR model
guidance suggest for this activity to continue through late tonight
with another pulse of energy coming across over same areas
overnight. There could be pockets of 1 to 2 inches of rainfall with
stronger storms as pwats remains between 1.8 to 2.0 inches over those
areas.

Things out west are not bad at this present time with only one
cluster of strong storms barely touching the northwest part of Val
Verde County. This situation may not last long as things get
interesting close and after midnight tonight as the main upper level
disturbance over the four corners region moves to the northeast.

Expect the threat for heavy rain and flash flooding to continue
overnight as the severe threat diminishes.
