NWS Austin/San Antonio, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 25, 9:03 AM CST, 3 hours 27 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AUSTIN/SAN ANTONIO TX 1003 AM CDT FRI JUN 25 2004 .UPDATE...MYRIAD OF SURFACE BOUNDARIES IN THE AREA. HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AND AN UPPER LOW OVER REAGAN/CROCKETT COUNTIES DRIFTING EAST-SOUTHEAST WILL GIVE WAY TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS TEMPS RISE TO THE MID 80S THIS AFTERNOON. WILL NOT ADJUST TEMPS OR WINDS AS AFTERNOON WEATHER WILL BE INFLUENCED GREATLY BY THE COOL OUTFLOWS. ANOTHER UPPER LOW OVER THE SOUTHWEST GULF IS DRIFTING WEST AT 6 KT. THIS FEATURE HAS BEEN IN THE GULF FOR 7 DAYS GETTING PUSHED EAST THEN WEST. BUT A STRONGER FASTER MOVING TROPICAL WAVE WILL SLIDE WEST OF 100 DEGREES LONGITUDE SATURDAY NIGHT. THIS MAY PROVIDE DEEPER ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE OVER SOUTH TEXAS AND HEAVY RAINFALL MAINLY EAST OF INTERSTATE 35. .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES STILL EXPECTED THROUGH THE FORECAST CYCLE AND A WATCH MAY BE CONSIDERED LATER THIS MORNING. ITS A BIT EARLY TO SOUND ALARMS BUT A WIDESPREAD FLOOD EVENT COULD POSSIBLY AFFECT MUCH OF THE AREA AS EARLY AS THIS EVENING. FOR TODAY EXPECT ANOTHER ROUND OF DIURNAL STORMS BEFORE MORE DISTINCT FEATURES MOVE IN TO FOCUS CONVECTION TONIGHT. MOISTURE LEVELS COULD ALMOST SUPPORT A FLOOD WATCH FOR TODAY, BUT THE LACK OF FOCUS WOULD SUPPORT ONLY ISOLATED FLOOD EVENTS. LATE THIS AFTERNOON A LOW CENTER OVER THE TRANS-PECOS REGION WILL BE PUSHED BY WESTERLIES INTO THE EWX COUNTY WARNING AND FORECAST AREA WHILE A SURFACE FEATURE SETTLING INTO THE BIG COUNTRY NEAR ABI THIS MORNING WILL BE IN POSITION TO BE DRAWN DOWN TO THE HILL COUNTRY BY CONVECTIVE DOWNDRAFTS TONIGHT. THIS FOCUS COULD SUPPORT OVERNIGHT CONVECTION CONTINUING INTO SATURDAY AND POSSIBLY SUNDAY. FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS THE GFS HAS CONTINUED TO GENERATE GFS BOMBS OVER THE AREA FOR THESE PERIODS SUGGESTING MESO-SCALE LOWS THAT ARE SLOW TO MOVE. THE LIGHT FLOW PATTERN ALOFT SUGGESTS A PROLONGED FLOOD EVENT IS POSSIBLE. HOWEVER, MODEL CONSENSUS IS CONSISTENT IN AMPLIFYING THICKNESS VALUES OVER THE AREA STARTING EARLY MONDAY. WILL FOLLOW THE PREVIOUS FORECAST TRENDS AND KEEP LATER PERIOD POPS LOW, BUT IT STILL LOOKS UNSTABLE ENOUGH FOR DIURNAL CONVECTION TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE NEXT 7 DAYS. SOME HOPE FOR DRYING NEXT WEEKEND IS OFFERED BY THE 00Z GFS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
