NWS Austin/San Antonio, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 29, 4:55 AM CST, 3 hours 5 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 555 AM CDT Tue Jul 29 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - Warmer temperatures mid-week. - Low chances for showers and thunderstorms Thursday through Sunday. && .SHORT TERM... (Today through Wednesday) Issued at 110 AM CDT Tue Jul 29 2025 The subtropical ridge covers most of the southern US this morning with weak upper flow over TX. At the surface, high pressure centered over the Gulf has the low level flow over our CWA from the south to southeast. The airmass is a little drier this morning with dewpoints from the lower 60s to the middle 70s. Skies across the region were mostly clear. The upper ridge will dominate through the short term. Subsidence under the ridge will keep skies mostly clear and the weather dry. High temperatures today will be a couple of degrees warmer than yesterday, but still within a couple of degrees of normal. Don't expect much change into Wednesday. Highs Wednesday will be another couple of degrees warmer with most of the area outside of the Hill Country reaching 100 or higher. Dewpoints mostly in the 50s will mean heat indices will be about the same as the temperatures. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday night through Monday) Issued at 110 AM CDT Tue Jul 29 2025 A weakness in the upper ridge will move across the northern Gulf and into TX Wednesday night into Thursday. This will allow a surge of deeper moisture to move into our extreme eastern counties and producing a slight chance for showers and thunderstorms Thursday afternoon. An upper level trough will dig down into the southeastern US and bring a frontal boundary into northeastern TX Thursday evening. This boundary will stall over that region and generate showers and thunderstorms which could move into our CWA Friday and Saturday afternoon and evening. The boundary will get closest to our CWA Saturday and this will be the more likely day for convection here. The deepest moisture and highest POPs will be over our eastern counties, but rain chances will spread to the Southern Edwards Plateau Saturday afternoon. Sunday rain chances will retreat back to the east. By Monday the subtropical ridge will build back over the region bringing back dry weather. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 555 AM CDT Tue Jul 29 2025 IFR/MVFR CIGs are found mainly southeast of a KHDO to KRND to KGYB line. Have KSSF with MVFR CIGs and KSAT with TEMPOs MVFR CIGs. The CIGs mix and become FEW VFR later this morning, then VFR prevails through Wednesday. Lower level flow creates unfavorable conditions for low CIGs tonight into Wednesday morning. S to SE winds prevail, except for SW to W overnight into Wednesday morning. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
