Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX
626 PM CDT Thu May 5 2022

...New UPDATE...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 623 PM CDT Thu May 5 2022

Have allowed the tornado watch previously in effect to expire as of 6
PM CDT. Scattered strong to at times severe thunderstorms are
expected primarily to the east of US 281 through the first half of
tonight along a slowly-advancing frontal boundary, but will begin to
subside following sunset and the onset of nocturnal stabilization in
the boundary layer. Have adjusted PoP and weather grids accordingly,
and have updated our zone forecasts in light of these changes.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Friday night)
Issued at 208 PM CDT Thu May 5 2022

Some clearing from earlier along with a convective outflow boundary
moving down from the north is helping shower and thunderstorm
activity develop along the I-35 corridor from Austin northward. The
HRRR model suggests additional development will continue to slowly
develop southward and eastward into the I-35 corridor to near San
Antonio and southeastward into the coastal plains. There has been no
change to the SPC outlook, with a Slight Risk generally along and
north of a Llano to Buda to Bastrop to Round Top line. The Marginal
Risk extends southward to roughly Utopia to Pleasanton to Kenedy
line. We still have plenty of instability over the region and
certainly can't rule out some additional severe storms through this
afternoon and early evening. The chance for severe weather should
decrease by mid to late evening as rain chances become favored for
areas generally east of the I-35 corridor. Shortly after midnight,
we should see showers and storms end across south central Texas.
Overnight lows will be coolest over portions of the Hill Country
where a weak front will help drop low temperatures down near 60
degrees. As you head farther south and west, it will be warmer, with
overnight lows in the mid 60s to lower 70s.

Much warmer temperatures and dry weather are in store on Friday as
highs peak in the lower 90s to near 100 along the Rio Grande, with
heat index values several degrees above the air temperature. It will
be warm and muggy Friday night, with lows in the upper 60s to mid
70s.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday through Wednesday)
Issued at 208 PM CDT Thu May 5 2022

The heat will be out in full force as we head into the weekend with
near-record to record heat expected across much of South-Central
Texas. Shortwave ridging will take over Saturday afternoon and
continue through Mother's Day, with the mercury soaring well into
the 90s for most areas along and east of US-281, and into the 100-
106 range west of US-281. With surface dewpoints in the 60s and 70s
generally along and east of I-35, it will be downright miserable for
many, with heat indices in the 105-110 range. While the humidity
shouldn't be quite as intense out west into the Rio Grande Plains,
Southern Edwards Plateau, and Winter Garden region, rapid mixing
should result in surface temperatures well into the triple digits
both days. Heat Advisories will likely be needed both days as this
early season heat will be our first real taste of summer-like heat
since Sep-Oct 2021. In fact, NAEFS percentiles has a good chunk of
the region in the climatological max for temperatures Saturday and
Sunday.

Mid-level flow should start to flatten out and turn more zonal on
Monday, before shifting to more of a southwesterly flow regime
through midweek. That should set the stage for the possibility of
convection developing over the Hill Country and Southern Edwards
Plateau, as well as over the Rio Grande Plains as SDB storms attempt
to organize and move across the border late Monday and again late
Tuesday. Temperatures will remain quite toasty, with mid to upper
90s for most, with the exception being over the Winter Garden region
and locations along the Rio Grande like Del Rio and Eagle Pass,
where highs should touch the century mark most days.

Despite beneficial rains over the last several days, the forecast
doesn't call for much in the way of rainfall over the next week, and
coinciding with what should be our rainy season along with continued
drought conditions , we are going to miss out on needed rain chances
for much of next week. An upper level low will get cut off and
meander over the SE CONUS, creating a bit of a blocking pattern over
the eastern US. This will limit what has been a fairly progressive
pattern of "troughiness" for the south-central US the last several
weeks. Expect the heat to continue, with high temperatures more
typical of early July than early May.

&&

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 606 PM CDT Thu May 5 2022

A line of thunderstorms is moving through the Austin area and will
mean possible thunderstorms at AUS for the next hour or two. Any
storms will produce MVFR conditions at the airport and winds may gust
up to 30 kts. Otherwise, terminals are VFR. There is a slight chance
for thunderstorms in the San Antonio area early this evening, but it
looks like storms will dissipate before they make it that far south.
MVFR fog will develop early Friday morning at AUS and is possible in
the San Antonio area. Visibility will recover by mid-morning.
