Area forecast discussion, Mar 27, 8:41 AM CST, 1 hour 41 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AUSTIN/SAN ANTONIO TX 941 AM CDT FRI MAR 27 2009 .UPDATE... SHOWERS ARE CURRENTLY BLOSSOMING ACROSS NORTHEASTERN SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS...AND SUSPECT THAT THESE WILL SOON STRENGTHEN TO THUNDERSTORMS. SOME OF THESE STORMS WILL LIKELY PRODUCE ISOLATED STRONG GUSTS AS WELL AS SMALL HAIL THROUGH THE MORNING. HAVE UPDATED ZONES TO INCLUDE MENTION OF THIS ACTIVITY. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 647 AM CDT FRI MAR 27 2009/ AVIATION... CIGS 3 HUNDRED TO 1 THSD FT OVC WITH VSBYS 1 TO 3 MILES IN FOG AND DRIZZLE WILL BECOME CIGS 2 THSD BKN AFTER 15Z TO 5 THSD TO 10 THSD SCT WITH SCT CLOUDS ABOVE 10 THSD FT AFTER 17Z TODAY. STRONG NW WINDS ARE FORECAST TO SPREAD ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS IN WAKE OF A COLD FRONT. A DRY LINE FROM KJCT TO NEAR KDRT WILL MOVE EAST TO A KAUS TO KPEZ LINE BY 18Z AND CONTINUE MOVING EAST OF SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS LATE IN THE DAY... WHILE COLDER AIR QUICKLY FOLLOWS WITH A COLD FRONT. THIS WILL CAUSE NORTHWEST WINDS TO INCREASE TO 20 TO 30 KNOTS WITH HIGHER GUSTS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. STRONG NORTH WINDS WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT...AND DECREASE SLIGHTLY BY SUNRISE SATURDAY. VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT WITH SOME WRAP AROUND CLOUDS POSSIBLE FROM 4 THSD TO 6 THSD FT SCT TO BKN FROM VCNTY KBMQ TO SE OF KAUS TO K3T5. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 514 AM CDT FRI MAR 27 2009/ DISCUSSION... STRONG WINDS FROM THE BASE OF A STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW IS EXPECTED TO MIX DOWN TO THE SURFACE TODAY TO WARRANT A WIND ADY FOR NEARLY ALL OF SOUTH CENTRAL TX. THE STORM SYSTEM IS PRODUCING A BLIZZARD OVER THE TX PANHANDLE AND WILL LIKELY RESULT IN A COOLING INFLUENCE ON OUR FORECAST TRENDS BEHIND A COLD FRONT EXPECTED LATE THIS AFTERNOON. AHEAD OF THIS SYTEM, SOME LIGHT DRIZZLE AND LOCALLY DENSE FOG WILL OCCUR ALONG AND EAST OF I-35 THROUGH MID MORNING BEFORE BEING WIPED AWAY RAPIDLY FROM THE WESTERLY MIXING. A SHIFT IN THE VAD WINDS ALOFT HAS OCCURRED AT MAF AND SHOULD BE PUSHING INTO VAL VERDE COUNTY AROUND 12Z. POPS SUGGESTED FOR EASTERN COUNTIES WERE DOWNPLAYED SOME DUE TO THE SMALL WINDOW OF DAYTIME MIXING TO INFLUENCE THE DEEPER MOISTURE. A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO FORM OVER THE FAR EASTERN COUNTIES AROUND NOON. NPW AND RFW PRODUCTS ARE IN EFFECT FOR TODAY AND WILL POSSIBLY BE LOOKED AT FOR TOMORROW. AN INFLUENCE ON THESE HAZARDS WILL BE A SLIGHT SLOWING TREND OF THE UPPER LOW AND THE INFLUENCE OF MUCH COLDER AND ICY CONDITIONS FROM THE TX PANHANDLE TO INFLUENCE THE POST FRONTAL AIR WHEN IT REACHES SOUTH TX. WINDS COULD BE STRONGER FOR SATURDAY AND WILL NEED TO CONSIDER WRAPAROUND CLOUDS REACHING THE AREA OR AT LEAST JUST BARELY TO THE NORTH OF THE AUS AREA. THE INFLUENCE COULD BE MOST SIGNIFICANT FOR SATURDAY NIGHT WHEN TEMPERATURES COULD THREATEN A LIGHT FREEZE OVER PARTS OF THE HILL COUNTRY. WILL ISSUE AN SPS SHORTLY TO SUMMARIZE THESE CONCERNS. COOLER AND SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR WAS ADJUSTED INTO THE SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY TIMEFRAME AS THE GFS LOOKS TOO EAGER TO DRAW BACK THE MOISTURE IN TIME TO PRODUCE RAINS ON A TUESDAY STORM SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED FRONT WILL LEAN TOWARD THE DRIER ECMWF AND PREVIOUS FORECASTS. THUS THE EXTENDED PERIODS REMAIN MILD, BREEZY, AND DRY OUT TO 7 DAYS WITH THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW INFLUENCED PRIMARILY BY THE POLAR JET AND SHORTWAVE TROUGHS PASSING TO THE NORTH EARLY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY. FIRE WEATHER... RED FLAG WARNING WILL BE ISSUED IN ANOTHER HOUR OR SO AFTER WE REVIEW RAINFALL ACCUMULATION OVER SOUTH CENTRAL TX AND POSSIBLE IMPACTS OF PRECIP ON MOISTURE ADVECTION FROM BEHIND THE FRONT.
