Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 1254 AM CDT Sat Jun 4 2022 ...New AVIATION... .UPDATE... Issued at 635 PM CDT Fri Jun 3 2022 The frontal zones is now stationary and evident in the wind, surface theta-e, and visible cu field to be stretching from the Southern Edwards Plateau southeast to just south of San Antonio and north of Victoria. An earlier isolated storm that fired along the boundary in northeast Uvalde County has collapsed and mostly dissipated. Attention turns to the Coastal Plains, where the sea-breeze and convective outflow boundaries are driving more robust convection, and could interact with the stationary front. We have highlighted this with some low PoPs in the forecast grids for the southeast zones through the remainder of the evening hours, and can't rule out isolated strong storms. Overnight, we will watch upstream convection to the northwest possibly impacting the Southern Edwards Plateau and Hill Country. It's unclear if this will sustain itself into the I-35 corridor Saturday morning, with differing solutions among the CAMs. && .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Saturday night) Issued at 216 PM CDT Fri Jun 3 2022 Morning storm complex outflow redefined the frontal zone to be roughly near Highway 90 this afternoon with mild temperatures mainly in the 80s north of the front. Temps south of the front are in the mid 90s and rising so an isolated strong storm or two with gusty winds may form over mainly our southern counties in the next few hours. Minimal activity is expected for this evening over most of the area, but late tonight, there is a consistent signal for some storms upscaling into a small complex and getting into the Hill Country after midnight. 12Z Convective allowing models show a general agreement in location and size and affecting mainly West Central TX, so this shouldn't warrant much more than a 20-30 percent along our northern CWA border for now. The late night timing of the convection will probably preclude the storms being severe as they move into our area. Outflow winds, lower dewpoints and L/V winds at daybreak should lead to a lower min temp trend for all locations except maybe our southwestern 2 to 4 counties. Model solutions for Saturday/Saturday night are split on whether to usher in the next heat wave or to prolong the unstable NW flow pattern for one more night. Temp trends will be up from the relative cool numbers of today, but there is a nice looking shortwave moving east across Srn CA right now. While this is good for some hopeful prolonging of rain chances, would prefer to stick to the script of trying not to overforecast rain chances in drought and active La Nina. && .LONG TERM... (Sunday through Thursday) Issued at 216 PM CDT Fri Jun 3 2022 As referenced in the short term discussion above some of the models do show yet another complex of showers and thunderstorms approaching South Central Texas late Saturday night into Sunday morning. By Sunday morning all four core synoptic models are dry. There are hints of additional popcorn convection in the models for Sunday night into Monday morning, but for Monday and beyond it is completely dry for South Central Texas. For Sunday the upper level ridge will remain centered over Western Mexico generally keeping South Central Texas in a northwest flow aloft, allowing for that small possibility of decaying thunderstorm complexes. By Monday morning the ridge begins to shift to the northeast and will be centered across the Big Bend and Rio Grande by the day on Tuesday. This will produce the hottest days of the forecast period on those two days. Forecast highs for both days are either breaking the record high temperature or within a single degree of breaking the record at all four of our climate sites. Looking at the 12z model runs the NAEFS and ECMWF continue to run 2-3+ standard deviations above the climatological mean or 90th- 99th percentile for 850mb temperatures for Monday and Tuesday. The warmest temperatures will be along the Rio Grande and across the Winter Garden Region where 105 to 108 degree heat is possible. The I-35 corridor will still be warm with highs ranging from 100-104. There may be some "relief" (read that as a degree or two "cooler" in afternoon high temps) for the end of the work week, but the story of the long term can simply be summarized as hot and dry with high pressure holding on through Friday. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1243 AM CDT Sat Jun 4 2022 A line of convection over the lower Trans Pecos region continues to move southeastward into the southern Edwards Plateau early this morning. We will continue to monitor this line of storms, but most of the hi-res model guidance suggests a weakening trend over the next several hours. Otherwise, some low cloud development may yield some temporary MVFR cigs at AUS between 12-14Z this morning. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

There is a low chance of an isolated strong to possibly marginally severe storm this afternoon and evening. The primary threat would be gusty winds and hail. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday. The heat will slowly build into the region this weekend, with near-record heat possible Monday and Tuesday, along with elevated heat indices in the 105-108 range possible. Air temperatures will range from 99-109 across South-Central Texas, so it will be a good idea to practice heat safety for this upcoming week. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is not anticipated.
