Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX
332 PM CDT Thu May 9 2019

.SHORT TERM (Tonight through Saturday)...
Scattered showers and thunderstorms have developed across the
western parts of the CWA over the past couple of hours. A pre-frontal
boundary just before the cold front has provided the initial lift
for the convection. At the same time, a weak upper level disturbance
is expected to push into South-Central Texas from the west. Latest
high-res guidance continues to show these two features working
together with the bulk of the stronger thunderstorms remaining near
the boundary. The front is expected to continue to push south through
the region this afternoon and evening. By 7 PM, the front is
expected to be near our southern border with WFO CRP. The atmosphere
is quite unstable, with SBCAPEs near 5000 J/kg. This in combination
with 0-6km shear values near 40-50 knots will provide the ingredients
necessary for some of the storms to be quite robust with very large
hail being the main threat. A dry layer at 700 mb could inhibit
storms a bit, but with the instability amounts these should be able
to be overcome. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for
locations generally south and east of a Fredericksburg to San Marcos
to Gonzales line to cover the initial threat through 04z. Another
watch may need to be issued at a later time for downstream depending
on how things evolve tonight.

As the front makes it near the southern boundary of the CWA late this
afternoon and evening, storms could increase in coverage with the
arrival of the best forcing. There are some indications in the latest
high-res models that this activity will eventually congeal into an
MCS tracking east into the Houston area overnight. If this does
occur, mesoscale subsidence on the backside of the complex should
limit rain chances after 06-09z tonight and into tomorrow morning.

The cold front is expected to push well into South Texas by tomorrow
morning. Additional activity is expected to move in from the
southwest by tomorrow afternoon as some weak lift above the frontal
layer moves into the area. This precip is shown best by some of the
CAMs, while the GFS is much drier. One last wave of rainfall is
expected Friday night into Saturday ending from west to east by
Saturday afternoon. The activity Friday through Saturday is not
expected to be severe, but the threat of locally heavy rainfall will
continue. The Flash Flood Watch will continue for areas east of a
Fredericksburg to Hondo to Pleasanton line through 00z Sunday. While
the bulk of the heavy rainfall will fall across the Coastal Plains, a
conditional threat of flash flooding remains for the Hill Country and
Austin metro areas within the Flash Flood Watch. As what was seen
yesterday, a quick inch of rainfall will cause additional flooding
concerns.

In addition to the rainfall tomorrow, temperatures will be well below
normal behind the front. Highs tomorrow will be in the low 60s to
near 70 degrees. Austin Bergstrom should break a daily record low
maximum temperature. The current record is 75 degrees, and the
current forecast high is 66. The other 3 climate sites should not
break any records.

&&

.LONG TERM (Saturday Night through Thursday)...
Will show no PoPs Saturday night as activity should be east of the
area. Mother's Day should be mostly dry as well. The GFS is showing
some precip with an approaching trough through Monday, but the Euro
remains dry. Will show slight chance PoPs for the beginning of the
long-term forecast to cover this threat. Slightly higher PoPs are in
the forecast through the mid-week period as models have slightly
better consistency on the placement of the trough axis. Temperatures
in the extended will moderate but will be cooler than normal.
