$$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 May 4, 6:26 AM CDT, 2 hours 25 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 4, 6:26 AM CDT, 2 hours 25 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 626 AM CDT Sat May 4 2019 .AVIATION... LIFR level clouds may briefly have CIGs at KSAT early this morning while KSSF and KAUS remain SCT, otherwise VFR conditions prevail today through tonight. North to northeast winds less than 10 KTs today become variable less than 5 KTs tonight. MVFR CIGs at KDRT this morning, become VFR this afternoon as southeasterly winds of 5 to 10 KTs develop. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 459 AM CDT Sat May 4 2019/ UPDATE... The MCS has moved off to the east and the line of thunderstorms that formed behind it has moved to the south. All convection is now out of our CWA. There is a small chance that showers and thunderstorms develop around the bottom of the upper trough as it moves to the east of our area, but it looks like those chances are lower than we previously thought. We have updated the forecast to lower the morning POPs over the east. Otherwise, the forecast is in good shape. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 230 AM CDT Sat May 4 2019/ SHORT TERM (Today through Sunday)... Upper air analysis last evening showed a broad trough over the entire country with west-southwesterly flow over Texas. At the surface there was a stationary front stretched across North Texas. An MCS was moving away from our CWA and in its wake winds were generally light and from the east. Dewpoint temperatures were in the lower 60s. A weak upper level ridge will begin to build across the Southern Plains today and bring an end to our wet weather. There may be some lingering showers across our eastern counties this morning, but everywhere should be dry by midday. Drier air will move in for Sunday. LONG TERM (Sunday Night through Friday)... Sunday night the next upper level shortwave trough will move across Northern Mexico and turn the flow over Texas to the southwest. This will bring a chance for showers and thunderstorms to the western half of our CWA. This feature will move across Texas Monday and rain chances will continue Monday and Monday night. Tuesday a weak ridge will move in ending convection across the west, but there will continue to be chances for showers and thunderstorms over the eastern half of the area. Then the longwave trough will move into the western part of the country turning the flow over Texas back to the southwest. This pattern will remain in place through the end of the period. There will be chances for showers and thunderstorms from Tuesday night through the Friday. PW will at times be between 1.5 and 2 inches and locally heavy rain may be possible. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
