$$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 8, 12:43 PM CDT, 2 hours 35 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 8, 12:43 PM CDT, 2 hours 35 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 1243 PM CDT Wed May 8 2019 .AVIATION... Line of showers and storms continues to move east with a current position near and along the I35 corridor. TSRA is currently prevailing at AUS and will show this in the TAF through 20z. For the San Antonio sites, chances for prevailing thunder are lower and will mention VCTS with tempo groups for -TSRA through 21z. Additional rainfall late this afternoon and evening is not anticipated. and will keep the forecast dry. MVFR/IFR ceilings are expected overnight with some improvements expected tomorrow afternoon. A front is expected tomorrow afternoon which will bring another chance of showers and thunderstorms. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1043 AM CDT Wed May 8 2019/ UPDATE... Main update to retrend PoPs based on the current radar trends. The line should make it to the I-35 corridor around noon and then continue to push eastward. Now that the storms have gone mostly linear the main threat appears to be damaging thunderstorm winds. After this line pushes through there could be some lingering showers and a few storms like are ongoing across Val Verde and Edwards Counties. Severe Thunderstorm Watches continues until 1 pm and the Flash Flood Watch has gone into effect across the Hill Country and Austin Metro area. The stronger parts of the line have produced 1-2 inches of rain in an hour, which if it falls over areas that saw rain yesterday and Friday could cause additional flooding issues. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 731 AM CDT Wed May 8 2019/ UPDATE... Quick issuance of the zones to add the Severe Thunderstorm Watch (151) for the Edwards Plateau, Hill Country, and Austin Metro areas. Currently there is one severe thunderstorms that produced at least Golf Ball sized hail just to the east of Kerrville. Other storms are on going on the western side of Bexar County and near Boerne. Convective Allowing Models (CAMs) show a broken line of thunderstorms that will slowly progress across South Central Texas through the day. Activity should decrease this evening, but not before the threat of both strong to severe storms (main threats are hail, wind if any bowing segments develop, and an isolated tornado is possible) and brief heavy rainfall and potentially flash flooding. Parts of Metro Austin picked up 2.5-2.85 inches of rain in just over an hour last night, with more rain expected over these areas today and for the days to come. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 641 AM CDT Wed May 8 2019/ AVIATION... SHRA/TSRA will gradually become more numerous as they move from west to east across South Central Texas this morning into afternoon, then decrease from west to east tonight. At KDRT, expect VCSH with MVFR CIGs and SE winds 10 to 15 KTs rapidly becoming VFR mid morning with passage of a dryline shifting winds to NW at 7 to 15 KTs. VFR prevails through tonight with variable winds of 5 KTs or less. At KSAT/KSSF, -SHRA with LIFR/IFR conditions SE winds of 7 to 11 KTs will continue through the morning with a TEMPO of TSRA from 12Z-16Z. Winds turn S at 12 to 18 KTs and gusty late morning with CIGs slowly rising to MVFR, then low end VFR late afternoon into evening. Have gone VCTS this afternoon due to uncertainty of redevelopment. CIGs lower to MVFR this evening and IFR overnight as winds decrease to around 5 KTs. At KAUS, SHRA with IFR conditions will develop at KAUS by mid morning with S winds of 8 to 12 KTS. CIGs slowly rise to MVFR midday and low end VFR late afternoon as S winds increase to 12 to 20 KTs and gusty late morning through early evening with TEMPO of TSRA from 18Z-22Z. CIGs lower to MVFR this evening and IFR overnight as winds decrease to around 5 KTs. A cold front moves through late Thursday morning with winds shifting to N at 10 to 15 KTs. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 311 AM CDT Wed May 8 2019/ SHORT TERM (Today through Thursday)... The latest surface analysis shows an upper trough across New Mexico with a dry-line extending from the Panhandle down across West Texas. The focus of ongoing convection has been north of our area ahead of the dry-line with only a few showers across the western counties. As the dry-line progresses east, a line of storms along the boundary is expected to move into area later this morning. With high CAPE, from 3500-4000 J/kg, severe storms with large hail and damaging winds are expected. Greatest chances for strongest storms will be in the Hill Country and northeastern counties. The threat for locally heavy rain is also play today with PWATS still elevated, ranging from 1.7 to 1.9. This is particularly important for areas that have already received multiple rounds of downpours over the past couple of days. With already saturated ground, rapid run-off leading to flash flooding will likely occur. A Flash Flood Watch is in effect for vulnerable counties, including Blanco, Burnet, Gillespie, Hays, Llano, Travis, and Williamson counties. It is extremely important to stay weather aware and avoid areas prone to flooding. With the dry-line progressing eastward, clearing skies out west with residual showers in the eastern CWA by tonight. By Thursday, multiple features increase rain chances, yet again. A cold front moves into the area Thursday bringing more rain. Timing and progression of the front will be crucial to rainfall amounts. As of now, highest totals look to be in our southeastern counties. LONG TERM (Thursday Night through Tuesday)... Thursday night into Friday will likely still see widespread showers and storms from the cold front as it slows near our southern border. WPC has a moderate risk for Excessive Rainfall for our far eastern border, with a slight risk covering the I-35 corridor, and a marginal for the remaining area. These risk categories refer to the potential for rainfall amounts to exceed flash flood guidance. Bottom Line: The continuing wet pattern will set the area up for flash flooding as well as potential river flooding. Avoid all areas prone to flash flooding. Do not drive into flooded roadways. Have multiple ways to receive weather alerts. As the frontal boundary slowly dissolves and moves east, Sunday will see low chances for rain, and higher chances for some sun. The relief is short-lived as the next approaching upper low increases rain chances by Tuesday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
