Area forecast discussion, Nov 25, 8:50 PM CST, 5 hours 45 minutes before
SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AUSTIN/SAN ANTONIO TX 850 PM CST MON NOV 25 2002 PRETTY GOOD RANGE OF DEW POINTS ACROSS CWA...LOWER 30S EXTREME NORTH TO MID 40S SOUTHEAST. CURRENTLY...DRY LOWEST LAYERS KEEPING MOST RAIN FROM REACHING THE GROUND. HOWEVER...THESE LOWEST LAYERS SHOULD MOISTEN UP OVER NIGHT AND SERIES OF VORT MAXES WILL ENHANCE PRECIP DEVELOPMENT...MAINLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. TONIGHTS LOWS LOOK OK AT THIS POINT. IN UPDATE WILL ONLY ADJUST INCONSISTENT LOWS IN A COUPLE OF ZONE GROUPS FOR SATURDAY MORNING. 3/13/DC PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... THE PREVIOUS FORECAST REMAINS ON TRACK WITH AN OVERRUNNING PATTERN SETTING UP AND 850MB FLOW BEGINNING TO BACK TO THE SE. THE BIG QUESTIONS/CONCERNS THROUGH FRIDAY CONTINUE TO BE THE POSSIBILITY OF FREEZING RAIN ACROSS OUR NORTHERN-MOST HILL COUNTRY COUNTIES AND WHEN(IF) PRECIP WILL SHUT OFF THIS WEEK. COLD AIR ADVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH A SECONDARY PUSH SHOULD ARRIVE LATE TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. CURRENT THINKING IS THAT COLD AIR ADVECTION ALONE WILL NOT BE ENOUGH TO GET SUB FREEZING TEMPS INTO THE NORTHERN HILL COUNTRY...BUT PRECIP FALLING INTO THAT LAYER SHOULD PROVIDE ENOUGH EVAPORATIVE COOLING TO GET TEMPS AT OR BELOW FREEZING BETWEEN 06Z AND 15Z WEDNESDAY. NO SIGNIFICANT ICE ACCUMULATIONS ARE FORECAST...BUT ENOUGH COULD ACCUMULATE ON BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES TO CAUSE SOME PROBLEMS. THE LATEST DATA FROM MEDIUM RANGE MODELS...EXCEPT FOR THE GFS...CONTINUE TO SHOW THE UPPER LOW RETROGRADING OFFSHORE OF SOCAL AND SHORTWAVE RIDGING(SUBSIDENCE) TAKING OVER HERE LATE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. THE LATEST EXTENDED FORECAST DISCUSSION FROM HPC LENDS CONFIDENCE TO THE NON-GFS SOLUTIONS...WHICH FAVORS OUR CURRENT FORECAST OF NO PRECIP ON TURKEY DAY OR FRIDAY. WILL CONTINUE WITH ANOTHER COLD FRONT LATE IN THE CYCLE AND CHANCES FOR PRECIP DAYS 5-7. THANKS FOR THE COORDINATION SJT PRELIMINARY NUMBERS... AUS RE 039/043 035/047 032 465 DRT RE 041/046 035/049 034 354 SAT RR 041/045 037/047 034 465 .EWX...NONE.
