AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AUSTIN/SAN ANTONIO TX
330 PM CST WED FEB 23 2005
.DISCUSSION...
UPPER LOW RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ADVERSE WX IN CA WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT
IMPACT ON SC TX WX TONIGHT THORUGH THE WEEKEND.
SUNSHINE HAS BECOME UNLIMITED ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS AND THIS IS
RESULTING DEVELOPING SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS AND
THE ISSUANCE OF SVR WATCH NO. 36. THUNDERSTORMS HAVE ALREADY PRODUCED
BASEBALL SIZED HAIL OVER TERREL COUNTY, AND THIS SUPERCELL COULD DRIFT
INTO NORTHERN VAL VERDE COUNTY IN THE NEXT HOUR. CUMULUS DEVELOPMENT
IS MODERATE TO TOWERING OUTSIDE THE WINDOW AT 3 PM, SO THERE SHOULD BE
WARNINGS GOING OUT VERY SOON. THE THUNDERSTORMS FORMING THROUGH THIS
EVENING IS NOT WHY WE HAVE ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR TONIGHT AND
THURSDAY MORNING. HOWEVER, THESE MAY MOVE SLOW ENOUGH TO PRODUCED
LOCALLIZED FLOODING. WITH VERY STEEP LAPSE RATES, THERE IS SIGNIFICANT
ENOUGH SHEAR WITH THESE SYSTEMS TO PRODUCE TORNADOES WITH MOST STORMS
EXPECTED TO VERIFY WARNINGS WITH LARGE HAIL.
A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WILL ENTER SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS THIS EVENING,
BUT WILL BE HARD TO DEFINE EARLY ON DUE TO THE MORNING MCS OVER NC TX
AND THE DEVELOPING CONVECTION ALONG THE REMNANT MCS BOUNDARY LOCATED
OVER THE CENTRAL HILL COUNTRY. BY LATE THIS EVENING, THE FLOODING
THREAT SHOULD BECOME MORE VISIBLE AS THUNDERSTORMS BECOME MORE ALIGNED
ALONG THE FRONT. THIS FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL MOVE SLOW WITH OVERRUNNING
PRECIP CAPABLE OF PRODUCING RAINFALL RATES OF 1/2 TO 1 INCH PER HOUR
THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING. THIS CONVECTION SHOULD START TO PULL EAST
OF THE FORECAST AREA BY DAYBREAK THURSDAY, AND THE NEED TO EXTEND THE
WATCH PAST NOON IS UNLIKELY. HOWEVER, A WET OVERRUNNNING TYPE PATTERN
IS STILL EXPECTED GOING INTO THE WEEKEND WITH SLOW DRYING EXPECTED FROM
THE WEAKENING UPPER LOW FINALLY EJECTING INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS. A
FRONT WILL ACCELERATE DRYING BY MONDAY, BUT ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM IS
EXPECTED TO BRING MORE RAINS TO THE AREA BY THE MID PART OF NEXT WEEK.
CURRENT MODEL DATA HINTS THAT THIS SYSTEM WILL ALSO BE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING A ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS LATE IN THE WEEK.
