NWS Austin/San Antonio, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 6, 2:39 PM CDT, 59 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 6, 2:39 PM CDT, 59 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 239 PM CDT Thu Jun 6 2019 .SHORT TERM (Tonight through Friday Night)... Convection has develop across the Hill Country this afternoon as convective inhibition eroded and convective temperatures where reached. The convection has developed in a weak low level convergent zone. This activity is expected to move east into portions of the I-35 corridor between San Antonio and Austin through the remainder of the afternoon and early evening, then east of the I-35 corridor mid evening. Forecast soundings indicate steep mid level lapse rates of around 7 degC/km yielding SBCAPE and MLCAPE values in excess of 3000 J/kg. Inverted V sounding also evident, indicating DCAPE values of around 1300 J/kg. Deep layer shear values, of nearly 40kts will be present. So initially supercellular mode will continue across the Hill Country and into the I-35 corridor. Over time cold-pool development may lead to development of a broken complex east of I-35 and I-37, with the severe wind threat becoming the main issue this evening. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for portions of the Hill Country and along and east of I-35 through 10 PM. In terms of flash flooding potential, the overall quick speed of the system should mitigate widespread concerns. Nevertheless, isolated heavier downpours could lead to very localized flash flooding concerns. Convection should move east and south of the area overnight. Warm and dry conditions are forecast for Friday. && .LONG TERM (Saturday through Thursday)... A ridge will build over South Central Texas over the weekend leading to very warm temperatures. Temperatures in the mid and upper 90s are forecast over the Hill Country and Central Texas, upper 90s to 102 around the San Antonio metro and southeast, and 100 to 107 along the Rio Grande. With recent rainfall, near surface moisture will keep heat index values elevated, into Heat Advisory criteria for several locations. A Heat Advisory will likely be needed for a portion of the area. A trough moving through the Central Plains Sunday night into Monday will weaken the ridge from the north. This will allow a cold front to enter the region, bringing a chance of showers and thunderstorms and cooler temperatures. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
