AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AUSTIN/SAN ANTONIO TX 1254 AM CDT SAT MAY 28 2005 .UPDATE... UPDATED GRIDS AND TEXT PRODUCTS TO ACCOUNT FOR ONGOING MCS EVENT. HAVE INCREASED POPS...SKY COVER AND QPF FOR THE WESTERN COUNTIES. HAVE ALSO ADDED LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 912 PM CDT FRI MAY 27 2005/ UPDATE... A LONE SHOWER IS DWINDLING ON THE ATASCOSA/MCMULLEN COUNTY LINE. OTHER SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE MOVING EAST ACROSS CENTRAL MEXICO WITH THE AID OF AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE. THIS ACTIVITY WILL CROSS THE RIO GRANDE INTO TEXAS SHORTLY BEFORE MIDNIGHT. HAVE SHAVED BACK THE POPS OVER THE EASTERN THIRD OF SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS FOR THE REST OF TONIGHT. TEMPS AND WINDS LOOK GOOD. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 354 PM CDT FRI MAY 27 2005/ DISCUSSION... FFA CANCELED FOR VAL VERDE COUNTY WITH AMPLE SUNSHINE DRYING OUT THE SOILS ALL DAY LONG. IN ADDITION, UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER MEXICO IS GENERATING MOST LIFT OVER FAR WEST TEXAS WITH SUBSIDENCE TAKING OVER MOST OF SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS THIS AFTERNOON. THIS WILL CHANGE LATER TONIGHT WHEN A MORE POTENT SHORTWAVE LIFTS NORTH INTO WEST CENTRAL TEXAS WHILE THE MID-LEVEL STABILITY SHIFTS EAST. THE ENERGY IS EXPECTED TO CATCH INTO ZONAL FLOW MORE BY LATE SATURDAY WITH BOTH THE NAM AND GFS BROADLY SUGGESTING ORGANIZED THUNDERSTORMS SWEEPING SLOWLY THROUGH SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS THROUGH LATE SUNDAY. BECAUSE THE MODEL FORECAST QPF AND VORTICITY DIFFERENCES ARE SO LARGE WILL JUST BROADBRUSH CHANCE POPS TO LET ANOTHER MODEL RUN TRY TO GET MORE AGREEMENT. THE CHARACTER OF THESE STORMS SHOULD BE SLIGHTLY MORE PREDICTABLE, WITH HEAVY RAIN AND ISOLATED SEVERE THREATS THE PRIMARY CONCERN. THE LIGHT SHEAR ENVIRONMENT WILL ALLOW FOR NUMEROUS BOUNDARIES AND POSSIBLE MCS ACTIVITY WHICH MODELS ONLY SHOW SOME UNITY ON FOR EASTERN SECTIONS SUNDAY AFTERNOON. ONCE THIS LARGER SHORTWAVE PASSES INTO EAST TX BY MONDAY THE WEAK ZONAL FLOW ALOFT WILL LEAD TOWARD REDUCED RAIN CHANCES AND A SLOW BUILDING OF THE UPPER RIDGE WITH TIME. MODELS SHOW SOME FORM OF A SHORTWAVE COMING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AROUND WEDNESDAY, BUT THE TRENDS ARE FOR A WEAKER SYSTEM. THUS WILL OPT FOR LOW CHANCE POPS AND ANTICIPATE POSSIBLE FURTHER REDUCTIONS IN FUTURE RUNS, WHICH WOULD BE A SIGNIFICANT DEVIATION FROM THE 05/27 00Z GFS. && .EWX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... TX...NONE. && 13/10
