NWS Austin/San Antonio, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 30, 8:35 PM CST, 3 hours 26 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AUSTIN/SAN ANTONIO TX 935 PM CDT WED JUN 30 2004 .DISCUSSION... EARLIER WIDESPREAD RAINS HAVE ENDED ACROSS THE FLOOD WATCH AREA AND ARE NO LONGER EXPECTED. AS A RESULT, THE FLOOD WATCH FOR FLASH FLOODING IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT. THESE RAINS PRODUCED A WESTWARD MOVING OUTFLOW THAT GENERATED SOME CONVECTION WHICH HAD VERY LOCALIZED INTENSE RAINFALL. THIS SECONDARY CONVECTION HAD ALSO ENDED. HOWEVER, HAVE KEPT 20 POPS ACROSS THE CWA, DUE TO AN UPPER LEVEL SHORT-WAVE APPROACHING FROM THE TRANS-PECOS AND FAR NORTHERN MEXICO AND PROXIMITY TO A MESOSCALE COMPLEX CENTERED EAST OF LAREDO. REMAINDER OF FORECAST GENERALLY ON TRACK AS SUBTROPICAL RIDGE ATTEMPTS TO REGAIN ITS USUAL EARLY JULY STRENGTH. PWS WILL DROP OFF FAIRLY RAPIDLY AND DYNAMICS WILL MOVE EAST OF CWA BY LATE THURSDAY INTO EARLY FRIDAY. DUE TO EVAPOTRANSPIRATION, SIGNIFICANT LOWER LEVEL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN IN THE SHORT-TERM, AND DAYTIME HEATING MAY GENERATE SOME SHOWERS. ALSO, POSSIBILITY EXISTS FOR NORTHWESTERLY FLOW AROUND RIDGE CENTERED OVER NORTHERN MEXICO COULD ALLOW MESOSCALE COMPLEXES INTO NORTHEASTERN PARTS OF THE CWA. POPS COVERED WELL IN THE SHORT-TERM, ALTHOUGH DID SOME MINOR ADJUSTMENTS. LATER IN THE FORECAST CYCLE, RIDGE WILL FLATTEN MAKING FOR A MORE ZONAL FLOW. THIS COULD ALLOW SOME CONVECTION TO DRIFT OFF THE MEXICAN MOUNTAINS INTO THE RIO GRANDE COUNTIES. ALSO, SOME CONVECTION COULD MOVE INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN COUNTIES NEAR THE CROSSROADS DUE TO THE SEABREEZE AND WEAKNESS IN THE RIDGE. HOWEVER, HAVE NOT INTRODUCED POPS TO AWAIT LATER MODEL RUNS FOR CONSISTENCY. && .EWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && 04/06/JB
