Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 334 AM CDT Mon Jul 23 2018 .SHORT TERM (Today through Tuesday)... Record breaking heat continues today after all four climate sites broke their previous record highs yesterday. A weak frontal boundary currently in the southern plains will move into North Texas this afternoon and evening. Ahead of the boundary, compressional warming will likely take place and help warm the low-level thermal profile. 850 mb temps were around 24-27C across the region yesterday and latest guidance shows an increase to around 25-29C for today. This should equate to our hottest day of the current heatwave with highs ranging from 103-105 in the Hill Country, 105-108 in the I-35 corridor, 102-104 in the Coastal Plains, and 108-110 in the Rio Grande Plains. This increase in temperatures will equate to the need for a Heat Advisory for the Rio Grande Counties where the criteria from an advisory is 110 degrees. Will upgrade the rest of the CWA to an Excessive Heat Warning except for the Coastal Plains where temperatures are expected to remain below 105 degrees. There are some mid-level clouds based around 18-20 kft moving into the CWA based on area observations and satellite imagery. This could potentially limit temperatures from realizing their fullest potential, but the height and thickness of the clouds shouldn't lead to much if any cooling. We continue to stress to promote heat safety today. Take extra precautions if you must work or spend time outside. Wear light weight and loose fitting clothing, drink plenty of water, and take frequent breaks, preferably in an air conditioned area. When possible reschedule strenuous activities during the morning or mid evening hours. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances. This is especially true during hot weather when car interiors can reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes. Look before you lock! The boundary is expected to enter our CWA tonight and some of the high-res guidance shows some isolated to scattered shower and thunderstom activity across the central CWA mainly after midnight. While the chances for strong enough convection to lead to any heatbursts are low, forecast soundings are favorable if activity is strong enough. Low rain chances will continue into Tuesday, as the boundary likely bisects the CWA. Stronger storms could have gusty winds given the inverted-v soundings in place. Highs to the south, in the southwestern portions of the CWA will remain in the 102-107 degree range and the rest of the region will be in the upper 90s to near 100 degrees. && .LONG TERM (Tuesday Night through Sunday)... Slight chance PoPs remain in the forecast Tuesday night and Wednesday mainly in the southwestern half of the area. Dry weather will return to the forecast through Sunday. Highs will remain in the upper 90s to 102 degrees and additional heat headlines are not expected. There could be some potential relief just beyond the current forecast period. The GFS and ECMWF are in good agreement that the ridge will shift west and amplify which allows for troughing in the eastern CONUS. This would send a potential frontal boundary into the area Monday night or Tuesday. Both models also show a fairly good QPF signal as well with the system. Time will tell, but the agreement in the medium-range guidance does merit some confidence. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
