Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX
641 PM CDT Thu Mar 19 2020

.AVIATION...
All terminals are currently VFR with easterly to southeasterly winds.
A cold front is approaching the area from the north. This front will
bring showers and thunderstorms with lower ceilings and visibility.
Convection will move into DRT first later this evening and spread to
San Antonio and Austin. At DRT conditions will stay VFR initially,
but in San Antonio and Austin ceilings will drop to MVFR with showers
and thunderstorms. MVFR ceilings will develop at DRT by Friday
morning. The front will bring northerly to northwesterly winds
starting between 09Z and 12Z. Convection will move away by around 18Z
Friday. Ceiling will lift to VFR at DRT, but remain MVFR in Austin
and San Antonio.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 222 PM CDT Thu Mar 19 2020/

SHORT TERM (Tonight through Friday Night)...
Thick cloud cover remains across most of South-Central Texas at this
time with temperatures in the 70s for the most part. Other than
that, things have been fairly quiet since the remaining showers and
storms moved out of the area this morning. However, things will be
quickly changing this evening as the upper low still remains west of
Texas. A weak frontal boundary will move into the area around the
same time as the next impulse embedded in the southwest flow aloft.
This should allow for convection to quickly develop in our our
southwestern CWA around 00z then spread northeastward. The storm
development will be aided by the boundary as well.

Overall, coverage of activity is expected to be high, although there
are some discrepancies from the latest high-res guidance on the area
of best coverage depending on where the initial precip area
develops. Activity is expected to diminish in coverage by the mid-
afternoon hours. CAPE values will remain in the 1000-1500 J/kg range
and with enough deep level shear in place, there will remain a
threat of isolated strong to severe storms within the activity. SPC
has nearly all of the CWA in a marginal risk and this seems
appropriate based on latest trends. Low temperatures tonight will
remain in the 50s and 60s. Highs tomorrow will be not too much
warmer than the lows as the cold front moves across the area.

The break in activity in the afternoon hours Friday will be short-
lived as yet another impulse brings an increase of isentropic ascent
on top of the frontal layer. This activity will begin in the
southwest CWA after Friday night. Will show the higher PoPs in this
region. With the abundance of cloud cover continuing, lows will
remain in the 40s and 50s.

LONG TERM (Saturday through Thursday)...
Isentropic ascent above the shallow cool air mass and ample moisture will
yield scattered to widespread showers on Saturday with high
temperatures in the upper 50s to low 60s. Forcing for ascent may be
aided by a weak short wave trough moving west to east across the
Plains. There will be some elevated instability, so some
thunderstorms will also be possible. Rainfall totals up to a half
inch or so are possible on Saturday and Saturday evening. Chances for
light showers linger into Sunday for areas along and east of the
Interstate 35 corridor, but only minimal accumulated rainfall is
expected. High temperatures on Sunday rebound into the low to mid
70s.

The warming trend increases Monday and into the middle of next week
as a large 500 mb high establishes itself over north central Mexico.
High temperatures return to the mid 80s by Tuesday and near 90 by
Wednesday/Thursday (low to mid 90s across the Rio Grande Plains) with
dry conditions persisting.
