The episode as NWS EWX wrote it up.

NWS Austin/San Antonio, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 2, 5:29 PM CST, 2 hours 17 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 629 PM CDT Sat Aug 2 2025 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Sunday) Issued at 1215 PM CDT Sat Aug 2 2025 A weak frontal boundary is noted on satellite imagery early this afternoon over the Hill Country. A cumulus field has started to form along this boundary and is expected to be the focus for convection this afternoon and evening. Scattered showers and storms, some capable of locally heavy rainfall, with rates of 1-2" per hour are possible with this activity as it shifts southward through the afternoon and evening hours. The latest 12Z suite of CAMs indicates showers and storms erupting around 18Z over the Hill Country and stretching east through the northern I-35 Corridor and northern Coastal Plains, then pushing southward with time through the late afternoon and early evening hours. These storms should primarily be heavy rain producers, but could produce a couple of localized wind gusts in excess of 40-50 mph due to a lack of shear in the atmosphere to separate the updraft/downdraft interface. WPC still has a Day 1 Marginal risk for excessive rainfall over much of the region and this makes sense given HREF mean PWATs in the 1.8-2.0 range ahead of the frontal boundary. Any storms should dissipate after sunset as loss of daytime heating should weaken them. Northwest flow continues aloft through the remainder of the weekend with a chance for a few isolated showers or storms from a decaying complex of storms over the Hill Country Sunday afternoon. For now, the chances are increasingly lower that storms will hold together and make it into our region early Sunday afternoon, but will hold onto low end PoPs to account for the uncertainty here. Otherwise, additional rain chances arrive during the start of the long term period. && .LONG TERM... (Sunday night through Friday) Issued at 1215 PM CDT Sat Aug 2 2025 Northwest flow continues during the start of the long term period, as ridging remains situated to our west. One more chance at showers and storms is expected Monday afternoon and evening, primarily north of I-10 and east of the Hill Country, with some locally heavy rain possible once again. Any activity should decrease in coverage and dissipate after sunset. Tuesday and beyond, hot and dry conditions are expected as mid-level ridging strengthens and pushes a bit further east. This should dry out the mid-levels a bit more and result in increased large scale sinking air. Temperatures are expected to remain near the same with highs in the mid to upper 90s and lower 100s through the end of the week. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 620 PM CDT Sat Aug 2 2025 Clusters of isolated to scattered TSRA continues near and in vicinity of HDO to SAT/SSF eastward to T20 this evening. CIGs are broadly VFR but shifting winds with gusts around 30 kt around TS from numerous outflows and decaying storms are possible until about 02Z with activity expected to weaken and dissipate after sunset. Tricky forecast for wind directions overnight into tomorrow as prevailing flow is expected to remain weak, but generally south to southeast winds below 10 kt is forecast tomorrow across area terminals. VFR to unrestricted CIGs are expected through the TAF period. Low chance of isolated RA to TSRA tomorrow after 18Z near I-35 terminals, but confidence was too low to include a PROB30 group. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
