SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AUSTIN/SAN ANTONIO TX 100 AM CDT WED JUN 4 2003 UPDATED ALL FORECASTS FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH AND MUCH HIGHER POPS AS MCS SWEEPS ACROSS THE ERN HALF OF THE CWA. 26/06/04/03/JB PREVIOUS DISCUSSION.... FIRST ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS IN PROGRESS AND IS PRODUCING LOCALIZED FLOODING OVER SOUTH CENTRAL SECTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL TX. CELL MOVEMENT IS SLOW BY NW FLOW STANDARDS. IN ADDITION...TWO MORE SHORTWAVE FEATURES ARE SUGGESTED BY SATELLITE AND MODEL DATA TO BE EN ROUTE TO SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING. HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE ENHANCED BY A PLUME OF PACIFIC MOISTURE FLOWING OVER THE MEXICAN PLATEAU. ALTHOUGH WE ARE STILL IN A DROUGHT, THE RAINS SHOULD FALL TO FAST FOR THE GROUND TO HOLD THE WATER--ESPECIALLY OVER THE HILL COUNTRY AND URBAN AREAS. MODELS DO NOT APPEAR TO GENERATE MUCH QPF FROM THIS FIRST WAVE AND DO NOT SHOW MUCH QPF FROM THE SECONDARY SHORTWAVE MOVING INTO TOWARD THE AREA FROM THE GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS. GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF THE STORMS FORMING OVERHEAD, WILL BUY INTO THE MODEL FORECAST FOR A RESPITE FOR LATE THIS EVENING. THEN, A THIRD AND STRONGER SHORTWAVE EXPECTED TO DIVE SOUTH FROM NW TX WILL PRESENT A HIGHER THREAT FOR HEAVY RAIN. TIMING OF THIS SYSTEM MAY RESULT IN LOWER RAINFALL TOTALS HOWEVER, GFS SOLUTIONS CALL FOR A THREAT OF HEAVY RAIN OVER THE HILL COUNTRY LATE TONIGHT. WILL LET THE FIRST WAVE OF THUNDERSTORMS PLAY OUT AND ALLOW THE EVENING SHIFT TO REASSESS THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING AND THE DEVELOPING COMPLEX OF STORMS OVER THE DAVIS MOUNTAINS. WILL MENTION POSSIBLE SEVERE FOR ALL AREAS TONIGHT AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL FOR BOTH TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. ACCORDING TO THE GFS, THERE IS MORE GLOOM AND DOOM IN THE FORECAST ALL THE WAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. THOSE WITH INTERESTS ALONG AREA RIVERS MAY NEED TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THE FORECASTS FOR THE NEXT 3 DAYS. SATURDAY MAY TURN OUT TO BE A NICE DAY IF THE CANADIAN AND GFS HAVE THEIR WAY--SINCE THEY ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT, WILL KEEP POPS SLIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY, WITH RIDGE BUILDING EXPECTED TO SETTLE DOWN THE ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN EARLY NEXT WEEK. WITH PLENTY OF MOISTURE IN PLACE, WILL CONTINUE WITH A BLEND OF GUIDANCE AND PERSISTENCE ON TEMPS AND WINDS. PRELIMS...
