REMOVED SEVERE MENTION FOR THIS MORNING AS AIRMASS IS STABILIZING AND WIND GUSTS HAVE BEEN LESS THAN 35 MPH. COLD FRONT IS BACK OVER WEST CENTRAL TO SOUTHWESTERN TEXAS. EXPECT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO EVENING AS IT MOVES INTO SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS. STILL SOME POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE STORMS. HOWEVER...HAVE REDUCED POPS TO LOW END CHANCE MOST AREAS AS AIRMASS WILL TAKE SOME TO DESTABILIZE. HAVE RE-ESTABLISHED TRENDS TO SENSIBLE WEATHER GRIDS TO REFLECT OBSERVATIONS. HAVE COOLED TEMPERATURES ACROSS AREAS BEHIND THE LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. REMAINDER OF SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS FORECAST IS ON TRACK. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 701 AM CDT MON JUN 9 2014/ AVIATION... MVFR CIGS THIS MORNING WILL CONTINUE UNTIL LATE MORNING. A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS IS MOVING FROM THE NORTH. EXPECTING THIS LINE TO MOVE THROUGH AUS AROUND 15Z AND THE SAN ANTONIO AIRPORTS AROUND 17Z. AT THIS TIME IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE STORMS WILL MAKE IT TO DRT...BUT THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE THEY DO. EXPECTING ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION LATE AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING. LATER TONIGHT WINDS WILL SHIFT TO WEST AND CIGS WILL DROP TO MVFR AGAIN. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 349 AM CDT MON JUN 9 2014/ SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY)... INFRARED AND WATER VAPOR IMAGES ARE SHOWING SEVERAL THUNDERSTORMS COMPLEXES AHEAD OF AN UPPER TROUGH MOVING SOUTHEASTWARD NEARBY THE TEXAS PANHANDLE. THESE MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEMS WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND AFFECT PARTS OF THE EDWARDS PLATEAU AND HILL COUNTRY EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. AS THESE SYSTEMS PUSH DOWN TO OUR AREA...OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WITHIN THEM...WILL INITIATE CONVECTION ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS TO AFFECT MOST AREAS. AS THESE OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES CONFRONT DEWPOINT VALUES IN THE 70S AND MIXED LEVEL CAPE VALUES NEAR 2000 J/KG...ANY STORM THAT DOES DEVELOP HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE IN NATURE. MAIN THREATS WILL BE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS AND LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING. THE THREAT FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS AS OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES CONTINUE TO PUSH ACROSS THE AREA. LATER TONIGHT...THE UPPER TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO PUSH AWAY FROM THE AREA WITH CHANCES OF RAIN COMING TO AN END FROM THE NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST.

EXPECT WARM TO HOT TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE AREA TOWARD THE LATTER PART OF WEEK WITH HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S ACROSS THE EASTERN TWO-THIRDS OF SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS AND FROM THE LOW TO MID 100S OVER THE RIO GRANDE PLAINS. BOTH GFS AND ECMWF SHOW AN UPPER TROUGH MOVING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS BETWEEN THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. THIS FEATURE MAY BRING SOME SHOWERS ACROSS THE FAR EASTERN COUNTIES ON THURSDAY AND EARLY FRIDAY. HOWEVER...OPTED TO GO DRY FOR THIS PERIOD AS MAIN ENERGY OF THE SYSTEM STAYS WELL TO THE NORTHEAST. BY NEXT WEEKEND...THE SUB-TROPICAL HIGH REGAIN POSITION AND BECOME A BIT STRONGER FOR MORE HOT DAYS ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
