Area forecast discussion, Jun 28, 7:02 PM CDT, 2 hours 28 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX
702 PM CDT Sun Jun 28 2020

.AVIATION...
Showers moving up the I-35 corridor at the moment, approaching the
AUS terminal. A relatively brief period of showers should be the
only impact. Otherwise southeasterly winds are slowly weakening to
10-15 kts. Morning MVFR for all sites before lifting late morning.
Gusty winds return again tomorrow afternoon.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 245 PM CDT Sun Jun 28 2020/

SHORT TERM (Tonight through Monday Night)...
Satellite and radar data shows convection developing across north
Texas indicating the stronger area of lift is moving north of our
region. However, we do see a subtle uptick in convection east of I-
35 this afternoon. Based on radar trends, we will continue to
mention low end chance pops for areas along and east of I-35 through
this afternoon. With the loss of daytime heating, we should see a
decrease in convection and we will lower rain chances to 20 percent
for the early evening hours. For the overnight hours, we will keep
the forecast dry as low clouds develop. A warm night is in store
with lows in the 70s.

We will keep the forecast dry across south central Texas on Monday
as an lift embedded in the southwest flow aloft looks to remain well
north of the region. Temperatures should warm to near normal for
this time of the year, with highs ranging from near 90 in the Hill
Country to near 100 along the Rio Grande. The dry forecast continues
Monday night with lows in the 70s.

LONG TERM (Tuesday through Sunday)...
The 500 mb center of high pressure slides westward from the Gulf of
Mexico to just south of the region by Tuesday afternoon. High
temperatures on Tuesday afternoon will be in the mid 90s for most
locations with near 100 degrees along the Rio Grande. Elevated
humidity will send max heat index values ranging from 103 to 108
degrees. There will be a slight chance for showers and thunderstorms
off the dryline Tuesday evening across the Hill Country and Rio
Grande Plains. Wednesday will bring much of the same in regards to
temperatures, heat index values, as well as another slight chance for
showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening.

By Thursday the mid level high strengthens and heads north toward the
Southern Plains (eventually sliding a bit southwest toward the Desert
Southwest by the weekend). With greater subsidence from the mid
level ridge, precip chances decrease and the region should remain dry
Thursday through the weekend. High temperatures will increase into
the upper 90s for most locations during this period, but a decrease
in humidity will actually lower heat index values a few degrees over
this period compared to Tuesday and Wednesday.
