What happened

The episode as NWS EWX wrote it up.

June was another month with below normal precipitation across South Central Texas and the drought continued to worsen. Atascosa and Edwards Counties moved from Extreme (D3) to Exceptional (D4) drought. Comal, De Witt, Gonzales, and Guadalupe moved from Severe (D2) to D3. Caldwell, Lee, and Travis moved into D2. Bandera, Blanco, Gillespie, Karnes, Kendall, Kerr, Medina, Real, and Uvalde remained in D4. Bexar, Burnet, Frio, Kinney, Llano, Maverick, Wilson, and Zavala remained in D3. Dimmit, Hays, Lavaca, Val Verde, and Williamson remained in D2. All public water systems encouraged at least voluntary water restrictions and many had mandatory restrictions in effect. Some the larger services had the following: Fredericksburg Stage 3, New Braunfels Stage 3, San Antonio Stage 2, San Marcos Stage 2, Austin Stage 1, Del Rio Stage 1, Kerrville Stage 1, and Pleasanton Stage 1. The Edwards Aquifer dropped 1.9 feet and was 28.3 feet below normal. Area reservoirs continued to fall farther below normal conservation pool levels. Lake Amistad fell 4.5 feet to 62.5 feet below normal, Medina Lake was down 4.7 feet to 66.2 below normal, and Lake Travis dropped 2.5 feet to 31.0 feet below normal. All of the counties in D2 or worse drought had outdoor burn bans in effect. The 7-day average streamflow on the Upper Guadalupe River was near the all time low. All of the other rivers in the region were below to much below normal.

...New AVIATION...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 838 PM CDT Tue May 31 2022

We have made some upward adjustments in the cloud cover this evening,
especially out west along the Rio Grande. In addition, some minor
changes have been made to the hourly temperatures and dewpoints based
on current observational trends. We have also opted to add a low
chance of showers to the forecast for areas generally along and east
of I-35 during the early morning hours on Wednesday.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Wednesday night)
Issued at 247 PM CDT Tue May 31 2022

Stagnant weather pattern will remain in place through the short
term period. The mid to upper level subtropical ridge will continue
to dominate over Texas. Heights over the SW CONUS will increase
over the next 24 hours and that should reduce the impact of the
polar westerlies onto our surface pressure gradient. Look for
winds to become less breezy for Wednesday morning and Wednesday
afternoon versus what we are seeing today.

The low level flow will continue to be from the southeast keeping a
warm, moist airmass in place across South Central Texas. As a few
streamer showers developed this morning, another round could occur
with even a slightly deeper moist layer to work with for Wednesday.
Thus, unlike today, when the shower dropped off the radar in the
late morning, a few showers and perhaps a clap of thunder might be
observed over the Coastal Prairies Wednesday afternoon. This might
get a small inland enhancement from the sea breeze, but no models
are depicting any coastal related convection past 00Z Thursday.

Temperatures tonight will stay above normal as most of the evening
should still see the wind stay up. Late tonight the winds should
ease off and allow for a slightly cooler low. Temps Wednesday
afternoon should benefit for morning low clouds and stay at or below
the highs of today. Wednesday night, there is a hint of instability
moving into West Central Texas and could potentially reach the
northern Hill Country. Mid level winds turn mainly NW for late
Wednesday through Thursday, so perhaps a few more areas will get a
shot of rain heading into the first periods of the long-term
forecast.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday through Monday)
Issued at 247 PM CDT Tue May 31 2022

Confidence continues to increase that a weak cold front will sag at
least into the Hill Country to round out the end of the workweek as
the latest deterministic guidance has continued to converge onto a
similar solution. This will provide the opportunity for isolated to
widely scattered convection both Thursday and Friday. Portions of
the Hill Country into the Travis/Williamson county area will likely
be the most favored region. This favored region could also see an
isolated strong to severe storm despite the modest shear levels as
the latest model soundings show CAPE around 1500 J/kg. SPC on the
day 3 convective outlook inserted a marginal risk across these same
areas. Temperatures are expected to trend slightly above average
with afternoon highs in the low 90s across the Hill Country to the
upper 90s toward the Rio Grande while overnight lows range from the
upper 60s to near 70 in the Hill Country to the low to mid 70s
elsewhere.

The weak front fizzles out into the weekend and this will allow for
the area rain chances to once again become nil. The afternoon highs
start to climb once again with upper level ridging extending from
northern Mexico into Central Texas and with the return of stronger
southerly winds. The heat continues to build into the start of next
week as the upper level ridge strengthens. Temperatures will reach
above 100 degrees for many across the region to start next week and
may once again be flirting around the daily high temperature record
territory. Expect nights to become increasingly warm and humid as
well with the overnight lows primarily in the low 70s across the
Hill Country and into the mid 70s elsewhere. Again, beyond Friday,
rain chances look to be hard to come by.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1234 AM CDT Wed Jun 1 2022

MVFR CIGs have developed at KAUS/KSSF and will move over KSAT by 06Z
and KDRT by 08Z. CIGs mix to VFR late Wednesday morning. MVFR CIGs
redevelop Wednesday night. Streamer SHRA are moving into the Coastal
Plains and will spread west to the I-35 corridor with ISOLD TSRA
possible Wednesday afternoon. Impacts are possible at the I-35
sites, however, left out for now as PROBs are less than 30. Expect
later forecasts to include mention for one or more sites based on
radar or model trends. S to SE winds 8 to 15 KTs prevail with gusts
to 25 KTs possible.
