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

.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Thursday night)
Issued at 255 PM CDT Wed Apr 30 2025

Key Messages:

- Level 2 of 5 risk for severe thunderstorms this afternoon and
evening generally along and north of a Burnet to Pflugerville to
Lexington line. There is a level 1 of 5 risk for severe
thunderstorms along and north of a Fredericksburg to San Marcos to
Hallettsville line. Will need to monitor the I-35 corridor farther
south near San Antonio.

- Level 1 to 2 of 5 risk for isolated severe storms Thursday over
most of South Central Texas

Surface observations show warm temperatures (lower to mid 80s) and
humid (dewpoints in the mid 60s to lower 70s) conditions in place
across most of south central Texas. The exception is across portions
of the Rio Grande plains and southern Edwards Plateau where warm
temperatures are in place (upper 80s to upper 90s), but low-level
moisture is lower (dewpoints in the lower 40s to mid 50s) behind the
dryline.

Area radar data shows isolated to scattered showers are developing
generally along and east of the I-35 corridor. With additional
heating, we should see a gradual increase in coverage of convection,
mainly east of the dryline. Hi-res models are generally not in very
good agreement, but given convective trends and the stronger forcing
for ascent, rain chances will be highest along the I-35 corridor
from Austin northward. The latest severe weather outlook from SPC
places a level 2 of 5 risk for severe thunderstorms generally along
and north of a Burnet to Pflugerville to Lexington line. We will also
need to monitor for some locally heavy rainfall across Burnet,
Williamson and Lee counties as some models show multiple rounds of
storms moving over the mentioned counties. Will also monitor to see
of the heavy rain potential drops a little farther to the south over
Travis county. Over portions of the Hill Country, I-35 corridor and
coastal plains, a level 1 of 5 risk is in place along and north of a
Fredericksburg to San Marcos to Hallettsville line.

While hail and high winds are the main severe weather concerns,
there is a low chance for tornadoes for areas under the level 1 to 2
out of 5 risk for severe weather. The threat for tornadoes increase
farther north into central and north Texas. A few of the hi-res
models develop some stronger convection a little farther south near
San Antonio. We will need to monitor this area as well with noted
instability axis per recent SPC mesoanalysis. With the loss of
daytime heating, convection chances will begin to decrease, but will
keep a mention of storms after Midnight for areas east of I-35/north
of I-10.

On Thursday, the current SPC outlook places almost all of south
central Texas under a risk for severe storms, with the higher risk
over the Hill Country and along and north of I-35. Similar to today,
the models are not in very good agreement. Suspect the focus during
the afternoon could shift into portions of the Rio Grande plains,
where models show a fairly strong shortwave trough moving in during
peak heating. Temperatures will remain above normal through the
short term portion of the forecast.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 255 PM CDT Wed Apr 30 2025

Key Messages:

- Locally heavy rainfall and isolated severe storms are expected
Friday afternoon through Friday night

- Slightly cooler this weekend with low to medium chances of rain
and storms

- Another storm system brings additional rain and storm chances for
the middle of next week

Friday morning into early Friday afternoon is expected to start off
rather quiet and mostly rain free with temperatures on the way into
the mid to upper 80s and low to mid 90s. The rain and thunderstorm
chances ramp up through the afternoon and to peak Friday evening as
clusters and/or a complex of thunderstorms develops in advance of or
along a front that will be dropping southward. There will be enough
supportive instability and deep layer shear to allow for some strong
to severe storms with this activity. The primary severe threats are
large hail and damaging winds. The thunderstorms will become quite
prolific rainfall producers as well with rainfall rates that could
exceed 2 to 3 inches per hour at times over isolated locations.
Despite the ongoing drought conditions across the region, these
rates could be enough to result in isolated to scattered instances
of flooding over the region. WPC highlights a level 2 of 4 risk for
excessive rainfall across majority of the region while a level 1 of
4 risk remains over the southeastern counties of our region. The
activity should gradually wane into early Saturday in the post-
frontal north-northeasterly flow.

The front continues to slide southward into the CRP/BRO CWA region
for majority of this upcoming weekend. This will keep our region in
a slightly cooler post-frontal airmass under mainly an east-
northeasterly flow. Isentropic lift within this flow and lingering
moisture, will keep showers and occasional thunder in the forecast
through the weekend and into Monday. Afternoon highs are to range
from the mid to upper 70s into the low to mid 80s. Overnight low
temperatures will dip into the mid to upper 50s across the Hill
Country to the low to mid 60s elsewhere.

A southeasterly low-level flow will return and increase into and
through Monday afternoon/evening, bringing the return of a warm and
humid airmass to the region through midweek. Additionally, the next
upper level storm system will setup across the Four Corners. This
upper low will enhance rain and thunderstorm chances for the region
through the middle of next week. Instability builds daily through
this stretch and with it being the peak of spring storm season,
storms may be strong to severe at times.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1238 PM CDT Wed Apr 30 2025

Some light showers are beginning to develop along the I-35 corridor.
Coverage over the next couple of hours should remain low and for now
we will not mention in the forecast with only brief, light rain
anticipated. We will continue to mention PROB30 groups for TSRA at
the I-35 sites for late this afternoon/early evening as chances
appear a little better for increased coverage of TSRA. Low clouds
return by late evening to the I-35 sites, but will keep conditions
VFR out west at DRT.
