.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 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.

4 thunderstorm wind, 1 flash flood. Local standard time, as filed.
Severe thunderstorm sweeping southeastward from central Medina County blew down power lines across the southeast part of the county. Officials reported that power was restored after two hours.
Severe thunderstorm sweeping southeastward from central Medina County crossed into Bexar County near 2 am CST and knocked over numerous power lines across the southern portion of Bexar County from just east of LaCoste to Von Ormy, Somerset and near Braunig Lake. Power was restored by 4 am CST.
Severe thunderstorm sweeping southeastward from southeastern Medina County crossed into Atascosa County near 2:20 am CST. The winds knocked over numerous power lines across the northern portion of the county. Power was out for a considerable time and was not restored until near 6 am CST.
Heavy rain from the severe thunderstorms produced accumulations of up to 2 inches over the saturated soils of northern Atascosa County. The rainfall produced brief flash flooding that forced the closure of FM3175 and FM2790. Officials reported that at least one vehicle was washed off the road on FM3175. There were no injuries.
