The episode as NWS EWX wrote it up.
A mid-level shortwave trough moved over Texas and combined with an abnormally moist airmass to generate thunderstorms. These storms were very efficient rain producers dropping locally heavy rain that led to flash flooding. There were also a few severe thunderstorms.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Austin/San Antonio, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 11, 5:27 PM CST, 2 hours 38 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 627 PM CDT Wed Jun 11 2025 ...New UPDATE, AVIATION... .UPDATE... Issued at 617 PM CDT Wed Jun 11 2025 Adjusted the PoPs into tomorrow to match the latest observational trends and the most recent short-term guidance. Initial activity is now starting to develop across the Hill Country. Most of activity this evening will concentrate in that region. A storm complex then evolves and progresses south-southeastward from the overnight into early Thursday morning. && .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Thursday night) Issued at 304 PM CDT Wed Jun 11 2025 Expansive cloud cover from early morning rains has mainly shifted east of the region early this afternoon. Some earlier showers over the southern Edwards Plateau have moved eastward into the Hill Country. Elsewhere, some clouds are noted, but with the cooling and stabilization from earlier, development is slow. As we head through the evening hours, we should see an increase in the coverage of showers and storms across the Hill Country. While there is some disagreement among the hi-res models, we expect the activity over the Hill Country to move eastward into the I-35 corridor along with some additional development over the coastal plains region. With slow-moving storms in an environment with high precipitable water values (1.75-2.25"), locally heavy rain is a concern from this evening into Thursday. Hi-res models tend to show the higher amounts near and east of the I-35 corridor for areas generally along and north of a Burnet to Austin to La Grange line. These areas have seen some recent rains and with expected moderate to heavy rain, a Flood Watch has been issued for Burnet, Williamson, Travis, Lee, Bastrop and Fayette counties. The watch begins at 7 PM this evening and runs until 7 PM Thursday. Rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches are possible, with amounts up to 6 inches in a few spots. The higher rain chances begin to shift eastward Thursday evening, but will keep a good chance for showers and storms in the forecast given a lingering upper trough axis over the region. && .LONG TERM... (Friday through Wednesday) Issued at 304 PM CDT Wed Jun 11 2025 An upper level low pressure system over the eastern part of the Southern Plains is forecasted to push into the Middle Mississippi Valley on Friday into Saturday. The subtropical ridge builds out west across the four corners region and northern Mexico providing a dry weather pattern across South Central Texas for the weekend into the middle of next week. High temperatures are likely to be at or slightly above normal climate values ranging from the lower to mid 90s across most areas and up to 101 along the Rio Grande. For the overnight lows, temperatures range from the mid to upper 70s areawide. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 617 PM CDT Wed Jun 11 2025 VFR flight conditions begin the TAF period. Shower and thunderstorm chances are to start to pick up later this evening at the I-35 TAF sites (KAUS, KSAT, and KSSF) before peaking from the overnight into early Thursday morning as a complex of thunderstorms develops and advances east-southeastward across the area. MVFR to near IFR ceilings and visibilities will develop as well, especially with the heaviest/strongest thunderstorm activity. Winds could become strong with variable directions in/near storm activity as well. Activity wanes beyond sunrise but some lingering showers will be possible through at least the morning hours. VFR conditions return from the morning into Thursday afternoon. KDRT remains VFR throughout the period with shower/storm activity holding east of the site. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
