...New AVIATION...

.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Tuesday night)
Issued at 233 PM CDT Mon Mar 27 2023

A cold front is stalling across our CWA stretching from near
Victoria to Del Rio and then off to the northwest. The main
difference between the two airmasses is the moisture. South of the
boundary dewpoints are in the middle 60s while north of it they are
in the 40s and 50s. Convection has just begun to our northwest. This
looks like it will be the initial focus for showers and
thunderstorms early in this period. Models suggest a moderate amount
of CAPE and vertical wind shear, so a strong storm is not out of the
question later this afternoon or early evening. Tonight the focus
for convection will be the frontal boundary which is expected to bow
back northward over the eastern part of our CWA this evening. Then
later tonight it will make a stronger push to the south moving away
from us. This will make the east the focus for storms this evening
and then the west the focus overnight and early Tuesday. Models show
the evening convection being possibly stronger. SPC has included our
eastern counties in a Marginal risk area this evening. There isn't
much turning in the vertical winds on forecast soundings leading to
straight line hodographs. Combined with modestly steep mid-level
lapse rates this will make large hail the most likely hazard of any
strong storm. The boundary will stall over South Texas and there
will still be a slight chance for showers and thunderstorms across
our southern area during the day Tuesday. The pressure gradient will
tighten behind the front Tuesday morning. Winds will become
northerly to northeasterly at 10 to 20 mph and could gust to 40 mph
in a few places over the Southern Edwards Plateau. A Wind Advisory
may be needed for the central and western part of our CWA.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday through Monday)
Issued at 233 PM CDT Mon Mar 27 2023

A cloudy and cool day is expected again for Wednesday, but the
frontal inversion begins to break down with the return of onshore SE
winds late in the day. A broad SW flow aloft develops over TX in
advance of another Pacific disturbance digging over the west coast.
This is usually an unstable pattern for the spring, and we should see
at least a slight chance of convection, favoring the southern
counties where moisture is deeper. The rest of the extended forecast
will see min temps at or above seasonal normals. Thursday and Friday
continue to show the potential for isolated to scattered storms with
perhaps a stronger storm threat Friday night as the Pacific
disturbance ejects NE into the plains. A weak front stalls out over
the region Saturday, and this may continue to support the low PoP
chances for convection into Sunday. There aren't many signals in the
collective data to suggest the potential for strong storms for any of
the long term periods, but March storms in TX always seem to be
capable of tapping into steep mid-level lapse rates.

&&

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 617 PM CDT Mon Mar 27 2023

Isolated thunderstorms remain away from the TAF sites, but will begin
the DRT TAF with the mention of VCSH and will prevail SHRA with VCTS
later tonight there. Rain chances will be a bit less for the I35
sites and will only mention VCSH later tonight and tomorrow morning.
A cold front will move into the area overnight and bring with it
breezy northerly flow tomorrow. Conditions should remain mostly VFR
with only some MVFR possible at DRT.
