...New AVIATION...

.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Tuesday night)
Issued at 1244 PM CST Mon Nov 4 2024

...A Line of Isolated to Scattered Strong to Severe Thunderstorms
Expected this Evening for Locations near and East of the I-35
Corridor...

A breezy, warm, and moist southerly flow has continued into the early
afternoon across a majority of  the region but winds decrease going
towards the west where a dryline is now entering portions of the
Southern Edwards Plateau. Skies remain mostly cloudy east of I-35
with a few remaining embedded showers, but these will become less
common through early to mid-afternoon. Out west, in the Hill
Country, clouds are breaking ahead of the dryline and this has led
to some vertical growth recently for showers across that area. This
activity moving into Burnet and western Travis/Williamson counties
will be where a pre-frontal storm or two could establish before
activity quickly moves north into the FWD CWA.

The main thunderstorm risk arrives this evening as a cold front
overtakes the eastward advancing dryline. The short term guidance
has become more consistent on showing a broken line of thunderstorms
unzippering in the vicinity or just west of the I-35 Corridor north
of San Marcos this evening. With moderate instability (MLCAPE into
the 1500 to 2500 J/kg range) along with increasing bulk shear will
allow for storms to trend strong to isolated severe levels. Primary
hazards would be strong damaging winds followed by large hail but
adequate low-level shear and directional turning of the winds exist
for a low end tornado threat as well. Activity will progress
eastward later tonight into the coastal plains. The SPC has expanded
the level 2 of 5 risk of severe weather on the latest Day 1
Convective outlook more southeastward to include San Marcos,
Gonzalez, and La Grange. The level 1 of 5 risk otherwise remains
very similar to the previous outlook. In addition to the severe
weather risk, intense rainfall rates and initial slow storm movement
could lead to storms quickly producing 2+ inches in a short period
of time and the threat of isolated flash flooding across the region.

Thunderstorm intensity likely wanes beyond midnight to 2 am across
our central and eastern zones but short term guidance still
continues to suggest some elevated post-frontal showers filling in
across the region. This activity should gradually shift eastward
with time as well but it may take until the mid to late Tuesday
morning timeframe to shift out of our CWA to the east. Skies will
otherwise clear out from northwest to southeast into and during
Tuesday afternoon.

The post-frontal north to northwesterly flow ushers in a drier and
slightly cooler airmass across the region through Tuesday and into
Tuesday night. Daytime highs on Tuesday will generally run within
the 70s while the overnight lows for late Tuesday night into early
Wednesday morning drop into the low to mid 40s within the coolest
valleys to the upper 40s and low 50s elsewhere.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday through Monday)
Issued at 1244 PM CST Mon Nov 4 2024

Our more active weather pattern is expected to continue through the
long term period of the forecast. On Wednesday, southwest flow at the
500mb level will continue ahead of the next approaching upper level
low diving southeast out of the Rockies for late week. This will be
our next rainmaker. Surface flow out of the south will increase once
again ahead of this upper-level disturbance, and upper level support
should be sufficient to support a low to medium chance for showers
and thunderstorms Thursday and again on Friday. Medium range guidance
keeps us in southwest flow until Saturday when the upper low
mentioned above finally moves northeast and lifts out of north Texas.
That should set the stage for a rather nice weekend with highs in the
70s and mornings in the 50s.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 548 PM CST Mon Nov 4 2024

Radar trends look to be in line with the latest HRRR runs in taking
through a near continuous squall line through the metro cities
between 03Z and 07Z. AUS will likely see the first wind shift from
the gust front, as early as 03Z. At SAT, feeder cells east of the
developing line could potentially create some shifty winds before the
main line draws near by 04Z. SSF should see the latest TEMPO group to
end around 07Z. Some hail and wind gusts to near 40 knots are
possible with the stronger activity more probable over Central TX
around AUS. Meanwhile, the frontal shift has already reached DRT, and
only a few low impact showers are forecast for late tonight.
Similarly the conditions should improve quickly along I-35 after
midnight and a few residual showers could occur through 12Z. Post
frontal winds are shown in all the MOS guidances to be higher in the
several hours behind the front, with not much of a mixing boost for
gusts expected after daybreak.
