...New Long Term...

.SHORT TERM... /Issued 115 PM CDT Mon Jun 7 2021/
/Through Tuesday/

The main concerns through the next few hours will be the
potential for heavy precipitation east of I-35 as a complex of
storms and attendant MCV move across the region. In addition to
the heavy precipitation, instability ahead of the line of storms
will continue to rise as daytime heating continues. With
increasing instability and enhanced low-level forcing for ascent,
a few strong storms can't be ruled out across the Brazos
Valley/Southeast Texas this afternoon.

There remains some uncertainty regarding the forward progression
of the line across Central Texas. Strong southerly flow around
925-850mb will supply a constant fetch of moisture into the area.
Confidence remains too low at this time to expand the Flash Flood
Watch into more portions of Central Texas. Regardless of whether
there is a watch or not, we will need to monitor the forward
progression of the line as we go into the evening hours in case we
begin to get training thunderstorms.

As this line of convection moves east of our area tonight, another
complex of thunderstorms will be approaching from West Texas.
Whether or not this line makes it through our area remains highly
uncertain at this time given the current state of the atmosphere.
If this line does make it into our region, a few strong wind gusts
and brief heavy rain will be the primary concerns.

Temperatures tomorrow afternoon are expected to be about 10
degrees warmer compared to the temperatures we will experience
today. Much of the region will be in the 90s, with heat index
values in the mid to upper 90s.

Hernandez

.LONG TERM... /NEW/
/Tuesday night through next Monday/

Any lingering convection Tuesday night will shift to the
east/northeast as the upper trough moves east. Then, an upper
high pressure will begin to build over the region keeping us on
the dry side for the next several days. This also means that
temperatures will warm up to near or above normal for early-mid
June. Model trends show very warm air in the low levels spreading
northward mid to late week. However, the recent rainfall and high
humidity in our environment will likely keep the surface
temperatures from being too hot. While many locations will see
highs in the 90s Wednesday through Saturday, the expected humidity
will bump up the heat indices into the mid/upper 90s. A few spots
across the far western zones could reach the triple digit
Thursday and Friday.

In general, the dry weather is expected to continue into next
weekend but we will have to monitor the potential for nocturnal
complexes from the northwest and daytime convection across the east.
Some of the extended guidance show a weakness in the ridge that
could result in a few passing disturbances over the region. It is
too early to discuss any details, so for now we will show a low
chance of precipitation Sunday and Monday.

.AVIATION... /Issued 115 PM CDT Mon Jun 7 2021/
/18Z TAFs/

Concerns...Ongoing lingering rain along with MVFR. Improvement to
VFR expected later this afternoon before additional MVFR arrives
tonight.

A mesoscale convective vortex is moving across North Texas at this
time in the wake of this morning's thunderstorms. Expect to see a
diminishing potential for precipitation through the early
afternoon hours. Lightning has significantly decreased in the past
hour, therefore, a mention of lightning has been removed in the
TAF. Recent satellite trends have also shown significant
improvements to the cloud cover as subsidence increases behind the
departing line of storms. For Waco, another small storm is
approaching the airport as of 18Z and should move off to the east
through the next two hours.

The rest of the afternoon should remain precipitation free
throughout with VFR gradually expanding. Another round of MVFR is
looking likely as a low-level jet once again strengthens
overnight. There will be storms that develop in West Texas tonight
and move toward our region. There remains too much uncertainty whether
the line of convection reaches the I-35 corridor. For that
reason, no mention of precipitation has been included with this
package. If probability of rain increases through the afternoon,
it's possible a mention of showers or storms will be added later
today.
