NWS Austin/San Antonio, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Apr 1, 5:58 PM CST, 1 hour 57 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AUSTIN/SAN ANTONIO TX 658 PM CDT WED APR 1 2015 .UPDATE... PLEASE SEE THE 00Z AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW. && .AVIATION... ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS THIS EVENING. BASED ON RADAR TRENDS AND LIGHTNING DATA...WE/LL MENTION A TEMPO GROUP FOR -TSRA AT KSSF UNTIL 01Z. ELSEWHERE...ACTIVITY LOOKS TOO SPARSE FOR A MENTION AT THIS TIME. CONVECTION SHOULD DECREASE WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. CLOUDS WILL THICKEN THROUGH THE LATE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS WITH MVFR AND IFR CIGS DEVELOPING ALONG I-35 BY MIDNIGHT...WITH THE ONSET AROUND 08Z AT KDRT. LOW CLOUDS REMAIN INTACT THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING WITH VFR SKIES EXPECTED DURING THE EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON HOURS. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 243 PM CDT WED APR 1 2015/ SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT)... HIGH RESOLUTION MODELS (NSSL WRF AND TEXAS TECH WRF) HAVE BOTH BEEN SHOWING ANOTHER ROUND OF ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS. SHOWERS HAVE BEGUN TO DEVELOP ALONG A LEAKEY TO JUNCTION TO MASON LINE. SLIGHT CHANCE POPS CONTINUE THROUGH MIDNIGHT TO ACCOUNT FOR ANY OF THIS ISOLATED ACTIVITY. THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER DOES HAVE LLANO...BURNET...AND WILLIAMSON COUNTY AT THE TAIL END OF A MARGINAL RISK. THE NAM SHOWS 1500 TO 2000 J/KG OF CAPE THIS AFTERNOON WITH 30 KNOTS OF SHEAR OR MORE ACROSS THE AREA SO IT IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION THAT ONE OF THESE SHOWERS COULD DEVELOP INTO A STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THIS EVENING. THAT SAID THE WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY IS VERY SMALL...THE NEXT FEW HOURS...AS THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IS ON ITS WAY OUT OF THE STATE. SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL END AROUND MIDNIGHT WITH A CLOUDY AND MILD MORNING FORECAST. SKIES WILL CLEAR FROM WEST TO EAST THURSDAY WITH TEMPERATURES RISING INTO THE LOW TO MID 80S ACROSS THE I-35 CORRIDOR. AREAS ACROSS THE RIO GRANDE COULD REACH INTO THE LOWER 90S DUE TO MORE SUNSHINE. CLOUDS RETURN THURSDAY NIGHT WITH ONE MORE MILD NIGHT ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS AHEAD OF FRIDAYS COLD FRONT. LONG TERM (FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)... OUR NEXT WEATHER MAKER WILL BE A COLD FRONT FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AHEAD OF THE FRONT THE NAME AND GFS MODELS SUGGEST 1500 TO 2500 J/KG OF CAPE AND DECENT SHEAR. THIS COMBINED WITH THE FACT THAT THE FRONT WILL BE MOVING THROUGH DURING PEAK HEATING/DESTABILIZATION AND SURFACE DEWPOINTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE NEAR 70 WILL MEAN THAT ANY STORMS THAT INITIATE COULD BE STRONG OR SEVERE. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WOULD BE THE MAIN THREAT WITH THESE STORMS. THE FRONT MOVES SOUTH OF THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT. DESPITE MOSTLY ZONAL FLOW IN THE UPPER LEVELS OVER THE WEEKEND SLIGHT RAIN CHANCES CONTINUE DUE TO ISENTROPIC LIFT. ANOTHER DECENT SHOT OF RAIN AND A FEW STORMS COMES ON SUNDAY MAINLY ALONG AND EAST OF I-35. THE MOISTURE PUSHES OFF TO THE EAST DECREASING RAIN CHANCES FOR THE START OF THE WORK WEEK. IN ADDITION TO THE RAIN AN ADDED BENEFIT OF THIS FRONT WILL BE A COOL DOWN. HIGHS ON SATURDAY WILL STRUGGLE TO GET OUT OF THE 70S WITH LOW 70S EXPECTED ON SUNDAY. THIS IS 5 TO 8 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. LOWS WILL BE NEAR 50 WITH SOME UPPER 40S ACROSS THE HILL COUNTRY SATURDAY MORNING. TREADWAY && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
