Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX
553 PM CST Wed Dec 26 2018

.UPDATE...
Ran a quick update to the zones to include the new Tornado Watch that
encompasses much of the CWA. Line of convection continues to
strengthen over Edwards County and is now building to the southwest.
Damaging winds will be the main threat, but the environment will
support tornado chances with strong low-level winds in place across
the region. Current timing has the line to the I35 corridor around
10-11 PM then eastern counties through 2-3 AM.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 553 PM CST Wed Dec 26 2018/

AVIATION.../00Z TAFS/
A squall line over the Edwards Plateau is expected to expand Swd by
the rapid refresh models so will maintain a couple hours of tempo
Thunder for DRT although there is an equal chance the the convection
misses the vcnty. As a new Tornado watch has just been issued, a few
of these cells could create a equal threats for isolated hail, wind
and tornadoes. Will keep with a more typical wind gusts potential to
around 30 knots and escalate if bowing segments look more imminent
for the I-35 sites. Wind shifts from the squall should develop
between 04Z and 05Z over all 3 I-35 locations. Improvements should
happen by 10Z with a steady W/NW wind to follow.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 343 PM CST Wed Dec 26 2018/

SHORT TERM (Tonight through Thursday Night)...
Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected the rest of this
afternoon and evening across parts of the Edwards Plateau and Hill
Country ahead of a Pacific front. A newly issued Tornado Watch is in
effect for Llano, Burnet and Williamson Counties until 10 PM this
evening as storms continue to develop and low level jet increases.
Expect all severe weather hazards with primary threats of isolated
tornadoes and thunderstorm wind gusts up to 70 mph with stronger
storms. Isolated large hail of one inch in diameter possible.

As the afternoon progresses, the Pacific front will continue to push
eastward into the Rio Grande Plains and southern Edwards Plateau.
The boundary will interact with the warm sector and increased
moisture while upper level support and instability become favorable
for all severe weather hazards. Storms are expected to be discrete in
nature at first but rapidly growing into a line of thunderstorms
late this afternoon into the evening. Large hail of one inch in
diameter and damaging winds are possible across these areas. The time
frame for this to occur is a bit earlier than anticipated based on
current radar trends, which is now to about 9 PM. Then the line gets
better organized as approaching the I-35 corridor and looks like the
line will slow down a bit. With that said, the timing for the line
of strong to severe thunderstorms to affect the I-35 corridor stays
intact as previous mentioned 10 PM through midnight tonight.

By the time this is happening, the main severe threats are expected
to be isolated tornadoes and damaging winds as MLCAPE values
increase to 2000-2500 J/Kg and surface to 6Km shear of 60 knots.

The line of storms will continue to advance to the east and into the
eastern counties of south central Texas overnight. The threat for
isolated tornadoes and damaging winds will eventually diminish and
come to an end from west to east as westerly winds and cooler airmass
spreads across the area.

Last but not least, the line of storms bring a potential for minor
flooding across the affected areas. Storm totals of 1 to 3 inches
are possible mainly across the Hill Country and areas along and east
of I-35.

Quick summary of the above information:

1) There is a Tornado Watch in effect for Llano, Burnet and
Williamson Counties through 10 PM this evening. All severe weather
threats possible.

2)A Pacific front over the northwest part of the area will continue
to push to the east. This system will become the next severe weather
threat across the Rio Grande/Southern Edwards Plateau. All severe
hazards possible.

3) The Pacific front will become the main focus for
organized super cellular storms with the potential for isolated
tornadoes and damaging winds as it moves across the I-35 corridor
between 10 PM and midnight tonight.

4) Minor flooding possible as storm totals could reach 1 to 3 inches
of rain accumulations over already saturated soils.

Once the line of storms move east of the area early Thursday, expect
a cooler day with highs in the mid 60s to lower 70s and mostly sunny
skies.

LONG TERM (Friday through Wednesday)...
Dry Thursday and Friday with rain chances returning on Saturday and
Sunday as another upper level system approaches the area from the
west. Cooler and cloudy for the upcoming weekend with highs only in
the 40s. Things dry out early next week with highs in the 50s and
lows in the 30s and 40s.
