MMWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood warning 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 flash flood warning went out at Jul 4, 12:53 AM CDT, 21 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
- Isolated instances of flash flooding from slow moving storms is possible through tonight. A Flood Watch is in effect for the western Hill Country and southern Edwards Plateau.
- Locally heavy rainfall is possible from scattered to widespread showers through tonight. The greatest potential is along the Highway 90 corridor, southern Edwards Plateau, and Hill Country, with some potential extending into the I-35 corridor.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 1253 AM CDT Fri Jul 4 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - Isolated instances of flash flooding from slow moving storms is possible through tonight. A Flood Watch is in effect for the western Hill Country and southern Edwards Plateau. - Locally heavy rainfall is possible from scattered to widespread showers through tonight. The greatest potential is along the Highway 90 corridor, southern Edwards Plateau, and Hill Country, with some potential extending into the I-35 corridor. - Rain coverage decreases for Independence Day, but chances for isolated showers continue. - Seasonably drier and warmer conditions return Sunday and continue through next week. && .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Friday night) Issued at 138 PM CDT Thu Jul 3 2025 Scattered shower activity has been ongoing across South-Central Texas throughout the late morning and early afternoon, with a gradual increase in coverage. A substantial plume of deep tropical moisture continues to stream north across South-Central Texas, characterized by unseasonably moist precipitable water values as high as about 2.4 inches. The 12Z Del Rio upper-air sounding this morning observed a PW of 2.31 inches, which is near daily record high values. The axis of a negatively tilted mid-level trough most readily apparent on 700mb analyses is beginning to move poleward towards the Edwards Plateau, leading to rounds of shower activity throughout South-Central Texas into tomorrow as the advancing trough prompts the ascent of moist air. A mesoscale convective vortex over the Big Bend area has also enhanced moisture advection into our region. Observed and simulated vertical profiles show an environment presently conducive to heavy rain, supporting 1 to 2 inch per hour rain rates. Given the broad region of rising air and lack of dominant surface boundaries, shower activity looks to remain widely distributed across South-Central Texas with sufficient instability for isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms. Strong gusts of 40 to 50 mph are also possible as the heavy rain rates drag down cooler air aloft. Cold pools expanding under weak deep-layer flow may become a focusing mechanism for concentrating a few clusters of showers and storms as depicted on some of the high-resolution mesoscale guidance, and the heaviest rain totals may be associated with these slow-moving clusters. Models remain in disagreement over the placement of the heaviest rain totals, though the greatest rainfall potential this afternoon into tonight is over the Highway 90 corridor, southern Edwards Plateau and Hill Country. Rainfall totals of 1 to 3 inches appear likely, but locally higher amounts upwards of 5 to 7 inches could materialize if slow-moving storms begin to cluster. Given the heavy rainfall potential, some flooding is possible. A Flood Watch is now in effect through 7 AM Friday morning for the southern Edwards Plateau and western Hill Country, where the intersection of higher forecast rainfall amounts and rainfall from the past few days is most evident. While the greatest concentration of modeled precipitation is in the aforementioned areas, the highest rain amounts could shift depending on where storms aggregate, and expansion towards the I-35 corridor is possible later this evening into the overnight as the trough moves gradually east. Coverage of showers and storms should begin to decrease Friday as the axis of the trough swings out of our area. However, the environment continues to support isolated showers favoring mostly the southern Edwards Plateau and Hill Country as the moist tropical airmass remains in place. Additional shower development could also occur along convergent flow through the Coastal Plains towards the I- 35 corridor. Cloud cover and rain-cooled air will support temperatures near to below average for this time of year. Highs in the 80s to low 90s are expected with lows in the mid 70s. && .LONG TERM... (Saturday through Thursday) Issued at 138 PM CDT Thu Jul 3 2025 The core of the shortwave trough triggering today's rains should be clear of our area this weekend. However, the combination of an overlapping trough over the North Central US and a retrograding upper-level low in the Gulf will prevent the subtropical ridge from rebuilding over our area. Thus, the unseasonably moist airmass will stick around our area for this weekend, though northeast flow from the Gulf system will gradually bring in drier continental air on Sunday. Forcing doesn't look very strong, but the moist air, daytime heating, and residual troughiness could support isolated afternoon showers and some thunder over the weekend. Within the moist tropical air, the strongest storms could produce locally heavy rain rates. The best rain chances, about 20 to 35 percent, would be over the I- 35 corridor and Hill Country Saturday afternoon, shifting west to the southern Edwards Plateau Sunday afternoon as the residual tropical air begins to be squeezed westward. Temperatures are expected to return to more seasonably warmer levels as rain chances decrease under sunnier skies. Subtropical ridging and subsidence looks to become better established across the region next week, though ensemble medium-range guidance places the core of the ridge decently far enough to our west over the Desert Southwest and Four Corners region. Subsidence should limit rain chances, though there looks to be enough weakness in the ridging to permit low chances for isolated seabreeze rains in the afternoon for the Coastal Plains into midweek. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1237 AM CDT Fri Jul 4 2025 Concerns for SHRA/TSRA continue overnight. However a very tricky forecast this period with somewhat low confidence remains. Continued mention of -RA until 07Z for KSSF and KSAT and 08Z for KAUS as models continue to highlight SHRA/TSRA possibilities. Low cloud development will lead to TEMPO IFR conditions at KSAT and KSSF Friday morning. Have added PROB30 for KAUS based on recent Hi-res model data coming in for 17Z to 20Z for TSRA Friday afternoon. Prevailing IFR is expected at KDRT. Regarding DRT have added in PROB30 for 21Z-00Z based off incoming model data and trends. Towards the end of the forecast period models are hinting at the possibility of storms developing overnight for KAUS and KSAT but due to low confidence have kept the mention out of TAFS for now. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
