NWS Austin/San Antonio, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 9, 5:45 AM CST, 2 hours 15 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 645 AM CDT Wed Jul 9 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - 20-40% chance of isolated to widely scattered showers and thunderstorms this afternoon and evening across the Coastal Plains, I-35 corridor, and Hill Country. - Drier and hazy conditions with Saharan Dust on Thursday. - Scattered rain chances over the weekend. && .SHORT TERM... (Today through Thursday) Issued at 112 AM CDT Wed Jul 9 2025 Two features aloft of interest today. A retrograding weak trough currently near the Texas coast and weakness dropping south out of north Texas will link up this afternoon and evening across the region. HREF members are keying in on isolated to widely scattered showers and storms developing over the Coastal Plains and Hill Country mid and late afternoon, with a slightly lower potential into portions of the I-35 corridor late afternoon through the early evening hours. Rainfall amounts of 1/2-1 inch are expected with this isolated to widely scattered activity, although some heavy downpours are possible, with isolated instances of 1-2" of rainfall quickly. Precipitation is forecast to gradually wane after sunset. Slight drier air works into the region late tonight into Thursday, along with some hazy conditions associated with another plume of Saharan dust. Coverage of any precipitation on Thursday should remain very isolated. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday night through Tuesday) Issued at 112 AM CDT Wed Jul 9 2025 Within the broad shear axis aloft, an inverted trough appears to sharpen on Friday across south Texas then lift northwest into the region Friday night into Saturday, bringing with it a pool of higher precipitable water content off the Gulf. This trough looks to then move into Trans Pecos and west Texas on Sunday and Monday, with the western periphery of the subtropical ridge nudging into eastern areas of the CWA. This will allow for rain chances (30-50%) to return back to much of the region on Saturday and Saturday night, in the form of scattered showers and storms, and favoring western areas on Sunday and Monday. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 634 AM CDT Wed Jul 9 2025 IFR to MVFR cigs expected across the area terminals through mid morning. VFR cigs return mid to late morning and stay through late tonight. South to southeast wind flow is forecast for area airports through the period. There is a slight chance for storms to affect KAUS late this afternoon. Kept TS out from the TAFs for now and will be closely monitoring. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
