Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX
317 PM CDT WED JUN 1 2016

.SHORT TERM (Tonight through Thursday Night)...
Upper low can be seen on water vapor just south of the AZ/NM
border. This is the system that will be coming into Texas over the
next several days bringing the continued chance for showers and
thunderstorms. This afternoon it appears that South Central Texas
is in between lift areas, one to the east near the TX/LA border
and more lift over the Edwards Plateau and the Big Bend. Will
continue with high pop and the wording of locally heavy rainfall
overnight. It appears from the latest meso models that a cluster
or MCS should develop out west and move through the central and
southern sections of the CWA. This risk of storms will continue to
be high on Thursday as the upper low moves into Texas and stalls
over Central Texas. The flood threat will remain high with
saturated soils. The pattern has shown breaks in the activity as
the large MCS systems do a good job in bringing stable area in
their wake. The timing and exact location of these systems will
still be problematic in giving any sort of forecast specifics.
Flooding threat will remain high. Cant rule out some Severe
Storms with a Marginal risk forecast by SPC. Marginal risk is
mainly south of the area on Thursday.

&&

.LONG TERM (Friday through Wednesday)...
Both the European and GFS show the upper low stalling over the
area on Thursday Night through Saturday before drifting southwest
into Mexico over the weekend into early next week. Keeping with
the 3-5 inches, isolated 10 inch totals. WPC and models are
showing that much of the precip will be east and south of the area
but with the upper low centered over Texas we will run the
continued risk of daytime development of storms as well as night
time development if the low center develops more of a warm core.
By the start of next week the low is forecast to drift sw into
Mexico. This will take the majority of the lift with it with only
a 20 pop on Monday and no pop on Tuesday. Cant rule out some
isolated activity next week just due to residual moisture left
behind and daytime heating.
