Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX
636 AM CDT Wed Apr 24 2019

.UPDATE...
12Z Aviation forecast below.

&&

.AVIATION...

Ceilings varied widely across the region, ranging from pockets of
LIFR/IFR to VFR. Generally IFR to MVFR ceilings will prevail through
the morning, but will be disrupted at times with numerous SHRAs and
scattered TSTMs developing. These rounds of SHRAs/TSTMs are difficult
to time out in the TAFs, and thus broad tempo groups have been
indicated. Some of these storms could become strong to severe, with
wind gusts in severe storms in excess of 50kts. A few storms could
contain hail as well. The main time frame for strong to severe storms
through the I-35 corridor will be 19Z-23Z. The system is forecast to
move east of the TAF sites from west to east in the evening.

Winds have backed E to even NE this morning at the TAF sites. A weak
frontal boundary has slipped into the Hill Country, where winds have
turned NE to N behind it. Winds at AUS/SAT/SSF may turn back to the
E and SE midday and increase to around 10-15 kts with gusts to around
25 kts. A N wind will develop behind the cold front early this
evening at the TAF sites.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 354 AM CDT Wed Apr 24 2019/

SHORT TERM (Today through Thursday)...
A broad area of showers and thunderstorms along a frontal boundary
is currently draped across Texas from Texarkana all the way into
Terrell County. This widespread feature is now entering our CWA with
a strong storm in Val Verde County. These storms are expected to
continue a south and southeastward progression throughout the day. An
area of upper level divergence as well as the position and
orientation of the boundary may lead to a training environment that
could lead to higher rain totals and possible flash flooding. A Flash
Flood is in effect from 7am this morning through this evening for
parts of the eastern Hill Country as well as the Austin Metro area.
Widespread totals for this area will be from 1 to 3 inches, with some
isolated areas getting up to 5 inches. For areas outside of the
Watch area, including the San Antonio metro, could see 1/2 to 2
inches with isolated higher amounts.

Along with the potential for heavy rain, there is also a slight risk
for these storms to be severe. After daybreak, diurnal heating,
although slow due to cloud cover, along with moist low level flow
will further destabilize the environment with CAPE values of 1500 -
2000 J/kg. Within these severe storms that may develop, damaging
winds and large hail (up to golf- ball size) are the main threats,
though an isolated tornado can not be ruled out. Timing for the
highest severe and heavy rain threat in the I-35 corridor, will be
from 2pm into the evening, likely affecting rush hour traffic.

As this feature progresses across the CWA, clearing of precip as well
as clouds from west to east Wednesday night into Thursday morning.
Thursday will be mostly clear with highs in the upper 70s and low
80s with a northwest wind that will slowly bring in drier air.

LONG TERM (Thursday Night through Tuesday)...
Thursday night lows will be near average in the upper 50s to lower
60s. Heading into the weekend, sunny and dry with highs in the low to
mid 80s. Winds return out of the south on Friday and continue
through the week with clouds returning on Monday. Dry forecast for
the remainder of the period.

430 AM CDT Wed Apr 24 2019

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

.DAY ONE...Today And Tonight.

Numerous to widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected
today and tonight across much of the area. Some of these storms
could produce locally heavy rainfall as well as become severe.

A Flash Flood Watch is in effect for portions of the eastern Hill
Country and Austin metro area, where between 1 and 3 inches of
rainfall are forecast and isolated higher amounts up to 5 inches.
These isolated higher amounts of rainfall may produce localized
flash flooding. Particular areas of concern are smaller creeks and
streams that respond faster to heavy rain and low-water crossings.
Outside of the watch area, generally 1/2 to 2 inches of rainfall
is forecast.

There is also a slight risk some storms could become severe, with
damaging wind gusts and hail the primary threat. Isolated
tornadoes can not be ruled out. The greatest threat for severe
storms will occur in the morning and afternoon across the Rio
Grande and Hill Country, this afternoon and evening across the
I-35 corridor, and this evening and overnight across the Coastal
Prairies.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday.

No hazardous weather is expected at this time.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter are encourage to submit rainfall and severe weather
reports.
