Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 313 PM CDT Sat Jun 3 2017 .SHORT TERM (Tonight through Sunday Night)... The center of the large upper low is over western OK and NW Texas. This will continue to be our main weather maker through the short term period. Clusters of storms over the state have been playing havoc on the mesoscale numerical models, such that it has been hard to find any model that has been doing a good job initializing and then handling the convection. An early morning storm cluster came across the county warning area and has done a good job in keeping most convection at bay. Some daytime heating has allowed for scattered convection to fire but for the most part the area has seen only a few showers/storms. As the afternoon progresses we do expect the storms to become more numerous with a good 40-50% coverage by early evening with the unstable airmass. There are plenty of left over boundaries to be triggers as well. We may also have a differential heating boundary set up out west due to the extensive cloud cover with an early afternoon Mexico MCS. This all points to keeping a good chance of pop in the forecast for the evening and into the overnight. Best bet is to have storms over the Edwards Plateau and then move into the Hill Country and western zones. With activity already firing in this area and the Big Bend, this scenario seems plausible. By Sunday models are dropping pops out west, concentrating the highest chances of rain Central and East zones. This is in concert with the upper low starting to shift east and southeast. Will stick fairly close to guidance temps, keeping hi/low near normal for this time of year. && .LONG TERM (Monday through Saturday)... Our pattern will finally see some drying by Tue as the upper low moves southeast and our South Central Texas area gets under the influence of mid level NW flow. That should be enough to keep the majority of pop east of the area while keeping the area fairly seasonable with temps and dewpoints. Guidance is bringing in some light north winds mid week, impacts should be fairly minimal. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
