...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM...

.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Monday night)
Issued at 232 PM CDT Sun Jun 4 2023

There is a narrow band of elevated light rain showers moving into
the I35 corridor at the present time. Another area of more surface
based activity is developing along an old boundary west of San
Antonio where temperatures have warmed into the lower 80s. For the
remainder of the day expect the areas south of I-10 to initially
have the best chances for deeper convection. Things behind the
elevated showers near the I35 corridor to the west look stable on
satellite. Temperatures in the Hill Country remain in the lower to
middle 70s behind this with some high clouds continuing and this
should keep things fairly stable for at least a few more hours. Will
have to monitor things closely to see if there is any
destabilization there for more robust surface based convection.
Where temperatures are in the 80s, instability values will be high
enough to warrant a strong storm or two with perhaps some marginal
hail and wind gusts. A marginal risk for severe storms is in the
latest Day 1 outlook for much of the area. The other main hazard
with any stronger cell will be the threat for locally heavy rainfall
that could lead to minor flash flooding especially for areas that
received some prior heavy rainfall.

Think most of the activity today and this evening should primarily
be diurnally driven with most of the activity dying off by 9-10 pm.
Latest runs of the HRRR do show some redevelopment over portions of
the Hill Country after midnight with a weak impulse. Will show a 20
PoP there in the overnight period to account for that. Lows tonight
will be in the 60s with some lower 60s in the Hill Country.

Another round of scattered showers and thunderstorms can be expected
on Monday. Latest Day 2 outlook keeps us in general thunder. Locally
heavy rainfall will be the main threat tomorrow. Highs will be in
the 80s. Most locations will stay dry tomorrow night with lows back
in the 60s with some possible near 70 degree readings near the Rio
Grande.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday through Sunday)
Issued at 232 PM CDT Sun Jun 4 2023

South-Central Texas will remain under a northwesterly flow aloft
with upper level ridging centered just to our west from Northern
Mexico into West Texas while broad troughing continues to focus
across the northern Gulf coast to the Northeast US. With not too
much change, the opportunity for scattered convection is again
expected from Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday evening where some
locally heavy rainfall may be possible. Activity likely is to
decrease through Tuesday night as majority of the model guidance
keeps the activity mainly diurnally driven. Afternoon highs on
Tuesday top out in the mid to upper 80s for most but some areas
along the Rio Grande may get into the low 90s. The overnight low
temperatures will otherwise bottom out in the mid to upper 60s
with again some low 70s possible near the Rio Grande.

The center of the ridge to our west nudges slowly eastward from
Wednesday through the upcoming weekend. This will lead into a
warming trend where slightly above average temperatures are to
develop from late week into the weekend. Peak heat index values
during the afternoons will climb to around or in excess of 100
degrees. While the convective chances and areal coverage should
reduce compared to the start of the week, near normal moisture
levels along with the continued presence of a northwest to west-
northwest flow aloft will still allow for at least some low end
opportunities of rain and storms to remain in the forecast. The
seabreeze along with outflow/activity coming from the Trans Pecos
would likely become the best triggers for any of these low end
probabilities.

&&

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1205 PM CDT Sun Jun 4 2023

Shower and storm activity has quieted down a bit early this
afternoon, but with scattered activity expected in a few hours,
included the mention of VCTS for a few hours this afternoon. Will
need to monitor and amend for TEMPO groups if confidence increases
of prevailing TSRA. Otherwise, the night time period should settle
down with another chance of scattered showers and storms tomorrow
afternoon.
