Area forecast discussion, Jun 6, 2:39 PM CDT, 3 hours 3 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.
