What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this wind advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Austin/San Antonio, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind advisory went out at Jan 7, 3:13 AM CST, 5 minutes earlier.

...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, FIRE WEATHER...

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Monday)
Issued at 311 AM CST Sun Jan 7 2024

Latest IR satellite images show some high clouds moving from
northeast Mexico into the local area under the influence of a
southwest flow aloft. At the surface, light northerly winds are
dominating the local area while a weak frontal boundary across the
coastal Plains dissipates.

High clouds are forecast to continue throughout the day with some
scattered to broken mid level clouds building later this afternoon
across the coastal Plains and into the local area. Surface high
pressure centered across the southern states brings back southerly
winds across South Central Texas mid to late morning and continues
into the afternoon and evening. High temperatures are forecast to
reach the upper 50s across a few spots across the Hill Country with
the majority of the local area staying between the 60s and low 70s
across the southern part of the Rio Grande.

Once the evening comes around the weather conditions are expected to
change starting with strong winds developing across the Rio Grande
and then spreading into the southern Edwards Plateau and portions of
the Hill Country in advance of an upper level low pressure system
pushing across the four corners region into the Southern Plains.
Sustained southerly wind of 25 to 35 mph are expected with gusts as
high as 45 to 50 mph. A Wind Advisory is in effect for those areas
from 6 PM this evening through 6 AM Monday.

As the night progresses, the low level jet increases to 50+ knots
across South Central Texas and remains through Monday morning. In
the meantime, the upper level short wave mentioned above advances to
the east as well as the associated cold front. With plenty moisture
in place across the warm sector, expect light rain to affect areas
along and east of Highway 281 overnight into Monday morning. As the
cold front advances and enters into the Val Verde area, enough
instability is likely to be in place for patchy fog and light rain
to chance into showers and elevated thunderstorm activity. This
won't last long as the frontal boundary quickly pushes to the east
and increases the chances for showers and thunderstorm over portions
of the Hill Country and areas along and east of Interstate 35. By
noon or so or shortly after, forcing of ascent combined with low
level warm advection could result in some strong to severe storms
along and east of Interstate 35 and especially along and east of
U.S. 77. Main hazards being damaging winds and an isolated tornado.

In the wake of the frontal boundary, strong northwest winds are
forecast to spread across the Rio Grande, and southern Edwards
Plateau mid morning on Monday. By noon or shortly after, those
strong winds travel into the I-35 corridor and spread to the
southeast into the coastal Plains during the afternoon hours.
Northwest sustained winds of 25 to 35 mph with gusts as high as 45
to 55 mph are expected. A Wind Advisory will be issued later on to
cover the second wave of strong winds affecting the local area for
this short term period. One more thing, fire weather concerns exist
in the wake of the front. More details below in the Fire Weather
section.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Monday night through Saturday)
Issued at 311 AM CST Sun Jan 7 2024

The beginning of the long-term portion of the forecast will continue
to see strong pressure gradient driven winds behind the potent low
pressure system departing to our northeast. Most if not all the rain
is expected to be over by Monday evening and have trimmed back PoPs
a bit from both the current NBM and previous forecast.
West/northwest winds Monday night will continue to be sustained
around 23-35 mph with gusts likely in excess of 50 mph in places.
Now is the time to protect loose items such as outdoor furniture or
portable basketball goals. A Wind Advisory will most definitely be
in place during this period and will likely need to be continued
into the day Tuesday for northeastern portions of the area as
elevated winds are expected to be continuing there. Temperatures
Monday night behind the front will drop into the middle 30s to near
40 degrees and with the very strong winds, wind chill values will be
near the middle 20s to near 30 degrees. Highs Tuesday will top out
in the middle 50s to lower 60s.

For Wednesday and Thursday, things should settle down as zonal flow
aloft and southerly flow at the surface returns to the area. This
should lead to highs warming back into the upper 60s to near 70 by
Thursday afternoon with lows remaining in the 30s and 40s. The next
storm system is set to arrive on Friday and looks to be almost as
dynamic and strong as Monday's system. This should bring back a
chance of rain to the eastern counties ahead of the system and
likely near advisory level winds behind the system with some likely
fire weather concerns as well on Friday. Lows Saturday will likely
be near freezing behind the front for most locations. Beyond the
current forecast there remains a lot of discrepancies in medium-
range guidance with the operational run of the ECMWF diving a very
cold airmass southward early next week with the GFS warmer with it.
Both the ensemble systems support some of the coldest weather of the
season early next week, but perhaps not as bitterly cold as what the
Euro is showing. Will continue to monitor model trends over the next
several days as early next week comes into our official forecast
period.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1027 PM CST Sat Jan 6 2024

VFR flight conditions and light winds prevail overnight into Sunday
morning with passing high clouds. Winds become southeasterly and are
expected to increase from Sunday afternoon into Sunday night. Gusts
could climb into the 20 to 25 knot range at the I-35 TAF sites (KAUS,
KSAT and KSSF) and to near 30 knots around KDRT. While high clouds
decrease into Sunday evening, low-level clouds return with ceilings
then crashing towards midnight and the overnight hours. Additionally,
light rain activity will begin to establish and spread over central
and eastern portions of South-Central Texas. For the 30 hr TAF sites
of KAUS and KSAT, expect for ceilings to lower into the IFR to low
end MVFR range during the final 6 hours of the period. Ceilings may
even near LIFR by the end of the TAF period.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 311 AM CST Sun Jan 7 2024

A significant change in the weather will take place on Monday as a
strong cold front moves in from the west. Very gusty northwest winds
and drier air will move in behind the front. Of greatest concern
will be portions of the southern Edwards Plateau southward into the
Rio Grande plains where winds will likely be strongest.
Precipitation deficits and freeze/drought cured fuels across
portions of the Rio Grande Plains mainly south of Del Rio suggest
some pockets of high fire danger may develop within axis of higher
winds. A Fire Weather Watch is in effect for the southern Edwards
Plateau and Rio Grande Plains from mid-morning Monday through mid-
evening Monday. Later shifts may need to expand the watch farther
east on Monday pending additional model data. For Tuesday, gusty
northwest winds and dry air will remain intact across the region.
Despite the cooler temperatures, at least elevated fire weather
conditions appear in store on Tuesday.
