NWS Austin/San Antonio, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Nov 15, 9:55 PM CST, 5 minutes earlier.
SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AUSTIN/SAN ANTONIO TX 955 PM CST THU NOV 15 2001 TRAINING LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS HAS AT LEAST FALLEN BELOW SEVERE LEVELS, BUT IS LEAVING VERY DANGEROUS FLOODING PROBLEMS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. MAIN THREAT FOR FLOODING FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT SHOULD BE OVER THE EASTERN HALF AS A NASTY COMPLEX OVER THE CRP/HGX AREA IS SHOWING SIGNS OF BACKBUILDING. WESTERN SECTIONS INCLUDING THE HILL COUNTRY LOOK TO BE ABLE TO RECOVER FOR SEVERAL HOURS BEFORE RAINS BEGIN TO REFORM OVER THE AREA EARLY FRIDAY. WILL CONTINUE FFA AND HIGH POPS EAST WITH A SLIGHT LOWERING TO ACCOUNT FOR THE RECOVERY PERIOD OVER CENTRAL AND WESTERN SECTIONS. TEMPERATURES WILL NOT DROP MUCH LOWER DUE TO THE MOISTURE LEVELS EXPECT SOME FOG BUT NOT ENOUGH TO MENTION FOR NOW SINCE OTHER THREATS ARE MAKING THE FORECAST TOO WORDY AS IT IS. IF FOG GETS TO BE TOO DENSE, IT COULD MAKE OVERNIGHT TRAVEL EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN COMBINED WITH FLOODED ROADS. WILL TWEAK WINDS SLIGHTLY TO ACCOUNT FOR THE TEMPORARY MESOSCALE CHANGES IN THE WAKE OF THE COMPLEX EAST OF THE I-35 CORRIDOR. .EWX...FLASH FLOOD WATCH TONIGHT ALL OF SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS AND HILL COUNTRY. 18/1
