$$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 Oct 22, 12:39 PM CDT, 2 hours 54 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 22, 12:39 PM CDT, 2 hours 54 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 1239 PM CDT Mon Oct 22 2018 .AVIATION... Rain showers are spreading across the region, but conditions are still VFR at all terminals. We expect these conditions to continue through the afternoon and evening. Rain will move into Austin and San Antonio within the next hour or two and there will be off and on rain through the afternoon and evening. Ceilings will lower to MVFR/IFR overnight in Austin and San Antonio. Lower ceilings will develop at DRT later this afternoon. Not much improvement for Tuesday as ceilings stay MVFR through the end of the period. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 410 AM CDT Mon Oct 22 2018/ SHORT TERM (Today through Tuesday)... Area radars this morning show light showers streaming northeast across portions of the Edwards Plateau and Hill Country. Despite what appears to be cells capable of producing moderate rainfall, observation sites within this area are still reporting cloud bases in excess of 10,000 feet as a result of the dry low level air in place. As a result, reported rain amounts so far this morning have been a trace or less. Early morning water vapor imagery shows a closed upper low over northern California with southwest flow aloft across Texas ahead of this system. Mid/upper level moisture from Pacific Hurricane Willa and Tropical Storm Vicente was seen streaming across the region as a result of this southwest flow and will continue to result in light rain spreading towards the Interstate 35 corridor through the day today. A very dry boundary layer will mean rain remains mostly virga this morning, but repeated rounds of rain will allow for enough top down moistening to occur for light rain to reach the surface by this afternoon. Expect rain totals today to remain around or under one tenth of an inch east of the I-10/I-37 corridor, with amounts as high as one half inch west of this area. Persistent cloud cover and rain will keep much below normal temperatures firmly entrenched across the region and a few locations may tie or set new record low maximum temperatures for today with highs in the low to mid 60s. A listing of today's records are included in the Climate section below. The bulk of the rainfall over the next week is expected to fall tonight through Wednesday but which areas see rain (and how much) will be heavily dependent on the location and trajectory of a few different systems. The first of these systems is a coastal low located just off the lower Texas coast early this morning. Most of the 00Z deterministic guidance was fairly consistent in lifting this low towards the middle Texas coast tonight, keeping lower level Gulf moisture closed off from the region with the majority of the heaviest rainfall occurring over the northwest Gulf. The 00Z NAM however attempts to veer and strengthen low level flow over this feature, creating an area of speed convergence across the southern half of the region and produces forecast rain amounts nearly double what any other one deterministic model run produces. Inspection of the mass fields offers very little support for this veered flow as the system appears to be as deep as 850 MB per 00Z CRP/BRO RAOBs (keeping flow more backed as it lifts into the Middle Texas coast tonight, limiting inland moisture advection) and have not gone as robust as the NAM with forecast rainfall tonight as a result. Expect light rain to continue to stream across the region tonight as southwest flow persists ahead of the closed low over northern California opening up and lifting into Nevada. Rainfall accumulations of up to one inch possible overnight as additional top down saturation allows for more rain to reach the surface. Otherwise, expect overnight lows in the upper 40s to lower 50s. Light to moderate rainfall will continue across the region during the day on Tuesday as southwest flow persists and the coastal low continues to lift up the Texas coast. Some breaks in the rain may be possible depending on how quickly and how close this system lifts up the coast with forecast rain amounts expected to remain under one half inch. Limited insolation will keep below normal temperatures in place with highs on Tuesday only in the upper 50s to lower 60s. LONG TERM (Tuesday Night through Sunday)... By Tuesday night, the final two systems to affect our midweek rain approach the area. Hurricane Willa looks to make landfall in either Sinaloa or Nayant (Mexico) sometime Tuesday afternoon or evening, lifting across Mexico during the day Wednesday as the open wave/trough over Nevada swings into the Four Corners. This will increase upper level divergence across South Central Texas Tuesday night and Wednesday with widespread rain developing across the region during this time. While overall instability will be lacking (MUCAPEs remaining under 500 j/Kg), dynamic forcing from the remnant wave associated with Hurricane Willa as well as the passing upper trough may be enough to enhance rain rates across the region on Wednesday and periods of moderate to possibly even heavy rain will be possible. Forecast rain amounts Tuesday night through Wednesday are in the 1 to 2 inch range. Rises on area rivers will be possible from forecast rainfall during the mid-week period. As the upper trough sweeps across the region during the day Wednesday, it will push the remnants of Willa east of the region resulting in dry conditions Thursday through Sunday. HYDROLOGY... Flash flood guidance values have recovered somewhat after the brief drying that was observed on Saturday and Sunday, but area rivers, creeks, and streams remain elevated from last week's rainfall. The forecast of 1 to 3 inches of rain with isolated amounts near 4 inches expected through the middle of this week may not be enough to produce street or urban flooding (unless it falls very quickly in a short period of time), but it is expected to produce secondary rises on some of the South Central Texas rivers. Releases from the Highland Lakes will keep portions of the lower Colorado River in action stage over the next few days, but additional rainfall may result in river flooding for points along the Colorado River southeast of Austin. Renewed flooding may also be possible along the Nueces, Frio, Llano, Guadalupe, and Pedernales Rivers depending on where/how much additional rain falls. CLIMATE...

No hazardous weather is expected. However, area rivers and lakes will remain elevated, resulting in the flooding of some secondary roadways. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday. As an upper trough interacts with Pacific moisture from remnants of Hurricane Willa periods of moderate rainfall will be possible across much of South Central Texas Tuesday and Wednesday. Rainfall amounts of 2 to 3 inches are possible from Monday through Wednesday, with isolated totals up to 4 inches. This rain on saturated soils could lead to renewed river flooding and some minor flash flooding. The Colorado, Llano, Nueces, Frio, and Rio Grande river basins are the areas most at risk from additional rainfall. While conditions dry out Thursday rivers and lakes will remain elevated for the next several days. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is not anticipated.
