NWS Austin/San Antonio, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at May 14, 11:53 PM CST, 52 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AUSTIN/SAN ANTONIO TX 1253 AM CDT FRI MAY 15 2015 .AVIATION... AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS APPROACHING THE SAN ANTONIO AIRPORTS AND WILL LIKELY BRING OCCASIONAL RA WHICH WILL DROP CIG/VIS TO MVFR. MVFR CIGS WILL BECOME PREVAILING IN AUSTIN AND SAN ANTONIO BY AROUND 07Z. THEY WILL DROP TO IFR OVERNIGHT AND IMPROVE THROUGH THE LATE MORNING HOURS. THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE DAY TODAY...BUT THE PROBABILITY IS TOO LOW TO INCLUDE IN THE TAFS. IF ANY SHOWERS HAPPEN THEY WILL LOWER VIS TO MVFR. AT DRT...THUNDERSTORMS ARE MOVING UP FROM THE SOUTH AND WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AIRPORT DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. THESE WILL NOT CHANGE THE CATEGORY FROM VFR. LOWER CIGS WILL MOVE IN AFTER 08Z. ANOTHER ROUND OF TSRA WILL MOVE IN FROM THE WEST AFTER 10Z AND BE AROUND UNTIL 12Z. CIGS SHOULD IMPROVE TO VFR BY 18Z. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 909 PM CDT THU MAY 14 2015/ UPDATE... THUNDERSTORMS HAVE FORMED ALONG AN OLD OUTFLOW BOUNDARY AND ARE MOVING TO THE WEST OVER THE WESTERN PART OF OUR CWA. THESE STORMS APPEAR TO BE SEVERE ON RADAR...BUT WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY REPORTS OF SEVERE WEATHER. SHORT RANGE MODELS ARE NOT HANDLING THE SITUATION VERY WELL...BUT CAN BE INTERPRETED TO SHOW THIS CONVECTION CONTINUING TO THE WEST AND EVENTUALLY MERGING WITH AND AREA OF STORMS THAT IS SLOWLY DEVELOPING OVER WEST TEXAS AND THE MOUNTAINS OF MEXICO. THIS MERGED AREA WILL THEN MOVE TO THE EAST. WE EXPECT THIS CONVECTION TO BE MORE OF A HEAVY RAIN THREAT THAN SEVERE. THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES OVERNIGHT FOR THE WESTERN COUNTIES. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 314 PM CDT THU MAY 14 2015/ SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)... LATE AFTERNOON RADAR IMAGERY AND LIGHTNING DATA FROM THIS AFTERNOON SHOW AN INCREASE IN CONVECTION FOR AREAS EAST OF I-35...WITH THE STRONGEST ACTIVITY OVER THE COASTAL PLAINS. DAYTIME HEATING ALONG WITH PLENTY OF MOISTURE IN A WEAKLY CAPPED ENVIRONMENT SHOULD ALLOW THIS ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE THROUGH EARLY EVENING. WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING...WE EXPECT A DECREASE IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EAST OF I-35. CAN/T RULE OUT A STRAY SHOWER OR STORM OVERNIGHT...BUT WILL ONLY CARRY A 20-30% CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION TONIGHT. A DIFFERENT STORY IS EXPECTED TO UNFOLD OVER THE RIO GRANDE PLAINS AND SOUTHERN EDWARDS PLATEAU LATE THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. AN ACTIVE SUBTROPICAL JET ALOFT ALONG WITH LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE POOLING UP ALONG THE RIO GRANDE SHOULD RESULT IN A ROUND OF CONVECTION THIS EVENING ALONG THE SERRANIAS DEL BURRO MOUNTAINS. STORM MOTION VECTORS SHOW THIS ACTIVITY WILL MOVE EAST THIS EVENING. RAIN CHANCES CONTINUE AFTER MIDNIGHT AS THE LOW- LEVEL JET STRENGTHENS TO AROUND 30KTS. WE COULD ALSO SEE ADDITIONAL STORMS DEVELOP ON LEFTOVER BOUNDARIES THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. STORM MOTION VECTORS REALLY DECREASE AFTER MIDNIGHT...SO SLOW MOVING STORMS WITH HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE A CONCERN. BASED ON RECENT RAINFALL AMOUNTS / POCKETS OF SATURATED SOILS AND EXPECTED AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES WITH ISOLATED AMOUNTS NEAR 3 INCHES...WE WILL ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FROM 15/00Z-15/12Z. ON FRIDAY...RAINFALL CHANCES WILL LIKELY DEPEND ON WHAT OCCURS TONIGHT. FOR NOW...WE/LL FOCUS THE HIGHER CHANCES OF RAINFALL FOR AREAS ALONG AND EAST OF HIGHWAY 83 AS A STRONGER MID- LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH LIFTS NORTHWARD. GIVEN PLENTY OF MOISTURE ACROSS THE REGION...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL REMAINS A CONCERN. WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING...WE SHOULD SEE A DECREASE IN RAINFALL COVERAGE. LONG TERM (SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)... WE SHOULD SEE SOME DRYING IN THE MID-LEVELS ON SATURDAY BEHIND A DEPARTING SHORTWAVE TROUGH. THIS WILL REDUCE OUR RAIN CHANCES SLIGHTLY AND WE/LL KEEP A 30-40% CHANCE FOR NOW TO ACCOUNT FOR ANY DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTION. THE WEATHER PATTERN TRENDS A LITTLE MORE ACTIVE BEGINNING LATE SATURDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUING INTO MONDAY OF NEXT WEEK. SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT STRENGTHENS ONCE AGAIN AS ANOTHER MID-LEVEL TROUGH MOVES INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. THIS TROUGH SHOULD BE STRONG ENOUGH TO SEND A WEAK COLD FRONT OR PERHAPS A STRONG OUTFLOW BOUNDARY INTO THE REGION BY LATE MONDAY. THE MODELS ALSO SHOW A NORTHERN STREAM UPPER JET OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST WITH A SUBTROPICAL JET OVER NORTHERN MEXICO. THIS SHOULD PUT OUR REGION IN FAVORABLE DIFFLUENT FLOW ALOFT ON MONDAY AND PERHAPS INTO EARLY TUESDAY. RAIN CHANCES CONTINUE INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE UPCOMING WORK WEEK WITH A CONTINUED LONG WAVE TROUGH TO OUR WEST AND ACTIVE SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT OVER TEXAS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

EXPECT LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES WITH HIGHER TOTALS AROUND 3 INCHES. THESE HEAVY RAINS WILL FALL OVER AREAS WHERE SOILS AND NORMALLY DRY CREEK BEDS ARE SATURATED FROM RECENT RAINFALL... PRODUCING FLASH FLOODING AND RAPID RISES OF CREEKS AND STREAMS. A FEW STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING SMALL HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS OVER 40 MPH. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. A WET PATTERN CONTINUES WITH CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS FOR FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS AND STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE STORMS.
