Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX
311 AM CDT Wed May 8 2019

.SHORT TERM (Today through Thursday)...
The latest surface analysis shows an upper trough across New Mexico
with a dry-line extending from the Panhandle down across West Texas.
The focus of ongoing convection has been north of our area ahead of
the dry-line with only a few showers across the western counties. As
the dry-line progresses east, a line of storms along the boundary is
expected to move into area later this morning. With high CAPE, from
3500-4000 J/kg, severe storms with large hail and damaging winds are
expected. Greatest chances for strongest storms will be in the Hill
Country and northeastern counties. The threat for locally heavy rain
is also play today with PWATS still elevated, ranging from 1.7 to
1.9. This is particularly important for areas that have already
received multiple rounds of downpours over the past couple of days.
With already saturated ground, rapid run-off leading to flash
flooding will likely occur. A Flash Flood Watch is in effect for
vulnerable counties, including Blanco, Burnet, Gillespie, Hays,
Llano, Travis, and Williamson counties. It is extremely important to
stay weather aware and avoid areas prone to flooding.

With the dry-line progressing eastward, clearing skies out west with
residual showers in the eastern CWA by tonight. By Thursday, multiple
features increase rain chances, yet again. A cold front moves into
the area Thursday bringing more rain. Timing and progression of the
front will be crucial to rainfall amounts. As of now, highest totals
look to be in our southeastern counties.

&&

.LONG TERM (Thursday Night through Tuesday)...
Thursday night into Friday will likely still see widespread showers
and storms from the cold front as it slows near our southern border.
WPC has a moderate risk for Excessive Rainfall for our far eastern
border, with a slight risk covering the I-35 corridor, and a marginal
for the remaining area. These risk categories refer to the potential
for rainfall amounts to exceed flash flood guidance.

Bottom Line: The continuing wet pattern will set the area up for
flash flooding as well as potential river flooding. Avoid all areas
prone to flash flooding. Do not drive into flooded roadways. Have
multiple ways to receive weather alerts.

As the frontal boundary slowly dissolves and moves east, Sunday will
see low chances for rain, and higher chances for some sun. The relief
is short-lived as the next approaching upper low increases rain
chances by Tuesday.
