Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX
650 PM CDT Sat Apr 6 2019

.AVIATION...
While a few showers remain south of AUS the bulk of the convection
has moved away from the terminals. This will be the trend through the
evening hours with dry weather expected through 09z along the Rio
Grande and 11z along the I-35 corridor. VFR conditions now will
drop overnight for the I-35 terminals through MVFR to IFR by 07z.
These lower cigs will hang around until the morning round of rain
moves through.

As the main upper trough moves east across Texas another complex of
showers and storms will form late tonight across the Rio Grande
Plains. High resolution models show the complex moving eastward just
south of DRT so have included only VCSH beginning around 09z there.
The complex of showers and storms will approach the I-35 terminals by
11z with a mix of -SHRA and VCTS. While the focus should be moderate
to heavy rainfall a few isolated thunderstorms are possible, so VCTS
was used rather than prevailing TS at this point. The complex of
showers and storms, along with any wrap around precipitation will
move to the east by 15z at DRT and the I-35 terminals by 22z. VFR and
dry conditions will prevail after that with northeast winds less than
10 knots.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 638 PM CDT Sat Apr 6 2019/

UPDATE...
We have allowed the Tornado Watch to expire at 6 PM. An outflow
boundary has pushed east into portions of Fayette, eastern Bastrop
and southern Caldwell counties. The main threat with the remaining
isolated storms west of the outflow boundary will be small hail
through sunset. Re-trended PoPs and temps through the evening hours,
with coverage of convective activity expected to remain isolated.

No changes made to the PoPs and Wx overnight and into Sunday
morning, with the previous forecast package indicating the potential
of an organized complex of storms coming out of Mexico and across
portions of the CWA. We will leave the Flash Flood Watch intact for
the potential of flooding with this second round of storms Sunday.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 401 PM CDT Sat Apr 6 2019/

SHORT TERM (Tonight through Sunday Night)...
There remains a small threat for severe weather and tornadoes with no
significant improvements in the near storm airmass until the watch is
set to expire at 6 pm. Some clearing of counties may need to be
considered from the west in the next hour or two however. A tornado
has not be detected or reported in our forecast area today, but a
radar confirmed tornado was noted just north of Williamson County
earlier this afternoon.

A convergent pattern of a lifting warm front over eastern counties
and a re-firing of thunderstorms along an eastward-propagating
outflow boundary from western counties has resulted in locally heavy
downpours of 2 to 4.5 inches over a small area of the eastern Hill
Country and the eastern halves of Travis and Williamson counties.
While much of the area is still waiting on the much anticipated rain
pattern, the areas noted above have already become saturated to the
point of resulting in some significant street flooding and some
waters rising over some low water crossings. Overall, impacts have
been spotty as has been the rains, However, the area between Johnson
City and Taylor extending south to near San Marcos is expected to see
another 1 to 3 inches of rain based on a good portion of the higher
resolution model data for late tonight into midday Sunday.

A few areas south of the FF watch area could see an isolated 4 inch
amounts, but very little rainfall has accumulated thus far outside
of the watch area. With a 90 knot upper jet streak currently diving
south along the Pacific coast of Mexico, the model run to run trends
are deeper and slower with the upper low, which should extend the
residence time of the next round of heavy rains. Much of the HRRR
runs today have shown good consistency on timing and location of
what looks to be a more widespread mcs, which should cover 80 percent
of the forecast area, with only areas NW of a Del Rio to Mountain
Home line possibly missing out on measurable rains. The axis of
heaviest rains with the next system should impact the San Antonio
area from 6 am to 11 am and the Austin area from 7 am to 1 pm. This
heavy rain axis should be along a N-S axis near Hwy 77 by 1 pm with
decreasing chances of run-off producing rains in the early afternoon.
However, the cumulative rains over the Austin metro area could lead
to lingering flood impacts through as late as 3 pm. Additional rain
chances are indicated into Sunday evening, but this should be mostly
spotty rains associated with the elevated rap- around lifting
processes from the middle and upper levels. Further wobbling and
deepening of the upper low could lead to rain chances running into
Monday morning, but these wrap-around rains should be much lighter or
on the order of 1/4 inch or less.

LONG TERM (Monday through Saturday)...
The deeper trough moving over us this weekend will leave a dry regime
and light northerly flow to promote good warming under sunny skies
for Monday. Areas that have received over an inch of rain are likely
to feel some of the effects of Monday afternoon humidities as the
north winds are mostly expected to be less than 10 mph in the
afternoon. Winds are expected to remain light Monday night, but will
not factor in any chances for ground fog until we the rainfall totals
for tonight into Sunday. Sunny and hot conditions develop under
shortwave ridging aloft Tuesday into Wednesday. A few patches of
brief morning clouds may develop Thursday morning with another
mostly sunny and warm day forecast Thursday afternoon when vigorous
upper low passes well to the north of the area. Later forecasts may
need to consider warmer temperatures for Thursday afternoon as
westerly mixing of winds aloft could be a factor. As that upper low
ejects NEwd, another strong low digs into the SWrn US and brings
possibly another good chance of rain for next weekend.
