Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX
908 AM CDT Sat Apr 13 2019

.UPDATE...
A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for areas along and east
of Llano to Crystal City in Zavala County through 3 PM this
afternoon. A line of strong to severe thunderstorms along Highway 83
continues to move eastward with other isolated strong to severe
storms ahead of this line affecting areas west of San Antonio and
northeast of the Austin metro areas. The line of storms will continue
to move to the northeast for the next several hours. The main impacts
of these storms are anticipated to be large hail on one inch in
diameter and isolated tornadoes. The time frame for these storms to
affect the I-35 corridor is from this current time through 3 PM this
afternoon. Storms could clear the Bexar County around 1 or 2 PM this
afternoon per latest HiRes model guidance.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 704 AM CDT Sat Apr 13 2019/

AVIATION... /12Z TAFS/
An isolated supercell is moving along Hwy 90 toward San Antonio but
has a long way to go in an area of decreasing shear and instability.
Thus will maintain only showers for the SAT/SSF TAFS. Over AUS, there
is a large fetch of streamers showers, and the rapid refresh runs as
a whole portrays a better chance for a broken line of storms to pass
through between 15Z and 17Z. Thus will include a 4 hour tempo window
to account for both scenarios as the streamer showers should
intensify after daybreak. There is a weak line of convection tapering
off on the Srn in just upstream from DRT, so will allow for an hour
or two of vcts before the wind shift to the west. Low cigs have set
up over AUS with some vsbys down to near 1 mile with light rain. This
should mix better in the next hour or two with a more southerly wind
trend developing. Have increased the shift to forward an hour at
SAT/SSF as the mixing might kick in a SW wind increase and a more
gradual shift with the front. Meanwhile the more sharp wind shift is
still expected at AUS. Mid-afternoon wind gusts still look to
approach 35 knots, and some wrap-around light sprinkles could linger
into the afternoon hours at AUS while skies clear faster over the
remaining TAF sites.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 504 AM CDT Sat Apr 13 2019/

SHORT TERM (Today through Sunday)...
Early morning water vapor imagery shows a compact shortwave trough
beginning to negatively tilt over West Texas. At the surface, height
falls associated with this feature have induced a surface low
located near Ozona with an attendant warm front stretching east
towards Waco and a cold front draped from the low southwest towards
Lajitas. Greatest upper level divergence focusing across West
Central and North Texas this morning has resulted in most development
occurring along and north of this warm front, but a supercell has
managed to develop just south of Del Rio as the main mid-level trough
axis swings towards the Rio Grande.

Given the anticipated trajectory of the West Texas shortwave trough,
expect best forcing for thunderstorm development to continue to
remain north of the region through the morning hours. Continued warm
air advection combined with smaller waves embedded in the flow aloft
will still result in isolated to scattered development through the
morning hours, but greatest coverage is expected to be north of the
region. For activity that is able to develop, SPC Mesoanalysis shows
a local enhancement in low level helicities in the vicinity of the
surface low and this will contribute to at least a transient tornado
threat as cells continue to develop this morning. This wind energy
will also help accelerate updrafts and contribute to the potential
for large hail with stronger thunderstorms.

Regional radar mosaic shows thunderstorms beginning to congeal into
a line along the cold front across Terrell, Crockett, and Irion
counties as the surface low begins to eject eastward. High resolution
guidance is consistent in this broken line of thunderstorms moving
eastward across the Edwards Plateau and Hill Country through the
morning hours. A brief severe threat for large hail and damaging
winds may rematerialize mid to late morning as thunderstorms along
the front are able to tap into some surface based instability from
daytime heating and very steep lapse rates near 8 C/km, but this
window will quickly close as the system and cold front exits to the
east this afternoon. Behind the cold front, strong west to northwest
winds 15 to 25 MPH with gusts approaching 40 MPH will be possible
across the region and a Wind Advisory is in effect for portions of
the region through tonight for these gradient winds.

Drier conditions are expected tonight with winds beginning to
decrease as the surface pressure gradient relaxes. Colder air
filtering into the region will allow for lows in the upper 30s to mid
40s on Sunday morning and highs in the upper 60s to mid 70s with dry
conditions continuing.

LONG TERM (Sunday Night through Friday)...
Shortwave ridging builds in across the Southern Plains Sunday night
and lingers through Tuesday ahead of the next approaching wave from
the Pacific, leaving Monday and Tuesday dry with temperatures
gradually warming into the upper 70s in Central Texas to near 90
along the Rio Grande. Moisture return with the approach of the mid-
week system will allow for increasing cloud cover on Tuesday with a
few warm air advection type showers spreading into the region late
Tuesday into Wednesday. As the main disturbance quickly translates
east during the day Wednesday, it will drag a cold front across the
region with a quick shot for showers and thunderstorms as it does.
Drier air behind the front will quickly end rain chances again for
Thursday and Friday with highs falling into the mid 70s to mid 80s by
Friday as the post-frontal airmass settles into the region.

FIRE WEATHER...
Near critical to critical fire weather conditions are expected across
portions of the Rio Grande Plains this afternoon and evening.
Forecast 1-hour fuel moistures are under 4 percent for much of the
Rio Grande Plains today and this, combined with low relative
humidities and gusty northwest winds behind a cold front, will
increase the potential for wildfire spread (particularly in fine
fuels). Forecast soundings show deep mixing (in excess of 8000 feet)
along the Rio Grande today and this will allow for some of the
stronger wind energy associated with the storm system moving across
the Southern Plains to translate to the surface. As a result,
frequent gusts up to 40 MPH may be possible and have continued the
Red Flag Warning for Maverick, Zavala, Frio, and Dimmit as a result.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for South-Central Texas..

.DAY ONE...Today And Tonight.

Isolated storms across the Rio Grande Plains early this morning
could continue to produce large hail, in excess of golfball size.
Additional possible threats include damaging straight-line winds
and an isolated tornado. Because of this a tornado watch is in
effect for portions of the Rio Grande Plains and Edwards Plateau
through 9 am Saturday. As storms push eastward a broken line of
storms could form with a brief severe threat of large hail and
dmaging winds during the mid to late morning along and east of
Interstate 35.

Winds behind the front this afternoon and tonight will be gusty
with sustained winds around 25 miles per hour, with gusts as high
as 30 to 45 miles per hour. The highest winds across the Rio
Grande Plains and Edwards Plateau are possible between noon and 7
pm on Saturday. The higher winds transition eastward across the
Hill Country and Interstate 35 corridor between 4 pm Saturday and
1 am Sunday.

A Red Flag Warning is in effect for the southwest portions of the
Rio Grande Plains along the Brush Country Saturday afternoon and
evening due to gusty winds and low humidity values.
