NWS Austin/San Antonio, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 5, 2:36 AM CST, 4 hours 54 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AUSTIN/SAN ANTONIO TX 336 AM CDT FRI AUG 5 2005 .DISCUSSION... OUTFLOW FROM WEST CENTRAL TX AND EAST TX CONVECTION THURS EVE HAVE COMBINED TO PRODUCE A FOCUS FOR CONVECTION OVER EASTERN PARTS OF SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS. SATELLITE DERIVED PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE INDICATED TO BE AROUND 2 INCHES FOR THIS ENVIRONMENT TO SUPPORT LOCALLIZED FLASH FLOOD THREATS. THIS CONVERGENCE ZONE SHOULD GRADUALLY DILUTE DURING THE DAY BUT STILL ENABLE SOME ENHANCEMENT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN TWO- THIRDS OF THE FORECAST AREA. ALSO, A SURFACE TROUGH OVER THE BURRO MOUNTAINS OF MEXICO HAS ENHANCED UPSLOPE FLOW CONVECTION. CONVECTIVE OUTFLOWS FROM THIS ACTIVITY COULD ENHANCE THE CHANCE OF RAIN OVER THE RIO GRANDE PLAINS AND SOUTHERN EDWARDS PLATEAU LATER THIS MORNING. THUS POPS FOR TODAY ARE IN THE CHANCE CATEGORY FOR ALL AREAS. WITH ADDED CLOUD COVER AND RAINS EXPECTED, WILL SEE HIGH TEMPS COOL 2 OR 3 DEGREES FROM PERSISTENCE. CONVECTIVE TRENDS IN THIS BROADLY UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT COULD EASILY INCREASE LOCALLIZED FLASH FLOOD THREATS ON SHORT NOTICE ANYTIME FROM TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY WHEN HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT BEGINS TO SLOWLY BUILD BACK OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. SATURATION LEVELS VARY QUITE A BIT FROM ONE PLACE TO THE NEXT, SO ISSUING FLASH FLOOD WATCHES FOR THESE ISOLATED HEAVY RAIN EVENTS DONT MAKE SENSE JUST YET. MODEL TRENDS ARE SHOWING LESS CONFIDENCE IN THE RIDGE TAKING HOLD, AND ANOTHER TUTT LOW IS FORECAST TO UNDERCUT THE RIDGE OVER SOUTH TEXAS BY THURSDAY. THUS THE DRYING TREND FOR NEXT WEEK APPEAR LESS FAVORABLE THAN IT DID FROM YESTERDAY. FOR NOW WILL STICK WITH NO SIGNIFCANT POPS IN THE MIDDLE PART OF NEXT WEEK WITH TEMPERATURES RISING 2-4 DEGREES IN THE EXTENDED. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
