Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 1252 AM CDT Sun Sep 1 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Sunday night) Issued at 211 PM CDT Sat Aug 31 2024 The coastal low remains well to our east near Houston and much of the activity associated with this feature will remain to the east as well. Could see a few showers rotate around this in our eastern counties through the remainder of the afternoon today. Across the western CWA, heating in combination with residual moisture/outflows from yesterday's rainfall has already led to some scattered shower activity. This should continue through the day with some possible isolated thunderstorms mixed in as well. The main hazard today will continue to be locally heavy rainfall possible leading to localized minor flooding. Pin-pointing exactly where this may occur remains difficult. Most of the activity will dwindle after sunset, but some focus may continue chances for showers and storms near the Rio Grande once again tonight. Lows will be in the 70s. Another round of scattered afternoon showers and storms will be likely once again tomorrow as the upper pattern remains nearly unchanged. NBM was likely a little high compared to high-res models and undercut it a bit. Locally heavy rainfall will continue to be the main hazards. Highs tomorrow will top out in the upper 80s to middle 90s. Rain chances will remain slightly more elevated tomorrow night as a weakness possible develops near the region. Low temperatures will be back in the 70s. && .LONG TERM... (Monday through Saturday) Issued at 211 PM CDT Sat Aug 31 2024 A weakness in the upper ridge combined with a surface low along the coast and a stalled frontal boundary near our northern border will bring likely chances for showers and thunderstorms Monday and Tuesday. Easterly flow on the north side of the low will bring very moist air to our CWA with PW values forecast to be 2.0"-2.5". In addition to the high moisture, storm motion will likely be slow and locally heavy rain will be possible Monday. This could lead to some isolated flooding. Wednesday the surface features will have less influence and rain chances will be lower. The atmosphere will remain unstable Thursday, but as the surface features lose more energy POPs will be a little lower again. By Friday convection should be isolated at best. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1243 AM CDT Sun Sep 1 2024 Stable air continues to dominate over I-35 as shortwave ridging separates the unstable pattern between troughing over West TX and the weak mid-level cutoff low over SE TX. Models continue to handle the cut-off pattern poorly, so will continue with a more persistence approach to the I-35 sites and keep out MVFR cigs until we actually see them. Will again look to the end of the TAF periods to see if the broader ridging pattern aloft weakens enough to allow the troughing pattern to the west to push the weak overrunning lift far east enough to generate some MVFR cigs and light shower into the I-35 corridor before daybreak Monday. Meanwhile persistent instability continues at DRT, but precipitation events have been mostly glancing blows with little impact. Will continue to showcase the late afternoon period to where stronger convection is favored. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
