.SHORT TERM (Tonight through Thursday Night)...
A deep upper level trough extends from the Central Plains to the
northern Baja Peninsula this afternoon with southwesterly flow over
Texas. At the surface warm, moist air remains in place with
temperatures in the 80s and dewpoints in the middle 60s to the lower
70s. Isolated convection has begun over the eastern half of South
Central Texas. The forecast has changed very little today. The
southern part of the upper trough will close off during the next 12
to 24 hours and drift across northern Mexico. As shortwaves rotate
through this pattern they will initiate convection over the region.
This afternoon and evening conditions are conducive for strong to
severe thunderstorms across the northern part of our CWA where SPC
has issued a slight risk for large hail and damaging winds. South of
the slight risk is a marginal risk for most of the rest of South
Central Texas. PW values across the area are above 1.5" and this will
make locally heavy rain possible as well. Short term models a bit
scattered in their solutions for this evening. It's hard to say
where convection will develop and move. But storms that do form will
be capable of producing a quick 1-2 inches of rain. Convection will
continue overnight and into Thursday. Timing and location are hard
to determine at this time. The airmass will remain essentially
unchanged, so locally heavy rain will be possible again Thursday and
Thursday night.

.LONG TERM (Friday through Wednesday)...

The long term forecast shows some, but only little improvement to the
upper pattern. Friday, an upper low, currently over Baja, gets
absorbed into the trough before cutting back off over Texas. This
upper low hangs out though the weekend causing multiple rounds of
showers and storms at various locations spread throughout the CWA. So
with little time to recover from the saturated soils from previous
rain, areas will need to be monitored for flash flooding and/or river
flooding.

By early to mid-week next week, the upper low over Texas moves
northeast while the upper ridge peeks in from the west. For the rest
of the long term forecast, POPs will be split west to east, with rain
chances east and dry out west.

Temperatures through the long-term stay below normal with highs in
the 80s through the period.
