.KEY MESSAGES...
- Locally heavy rain possible across portions of the southern
Edwards Plateau, Rio Grande, and coastal plains for the rest of this
afternoon. Localized flooding possible.
- Dry conditions return on Monday across most areas of south central
Texas with drier weather forecast for the rest of the work week.
&&
.SHORT TERM (THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)...
Light to moderate showers and isolated pockets of heavy rain are
affecting most of south central Texas early this afternoon. This
activity is forecast to persist across the local area and especially
across the southern Edwards Plateau, Rio Grande, and coastal
plains through late afternoon. The cold front that moved across
the local area on Saturday sits along the middle Texas coast
with Gulf moisture being transported into the region from above
the surface. Pwats are still elevated running from 2.0 to 2.4
inches across most of south central Texas with the potential for
heavy rain placement across the southern Edwards Plateau, Rio
Grande, and coastal plains. The NAM, GFS, and other hires models
suggest for a mid level low pressure to develop over the
southern Edwards PLateau this afternoon. When looking at radar
trends, a cyclonic circulation appears over the northwest part
of Frio county and could be the feature the model guidance are
seeing. This feature is forecast to push to the south into the
Corpus Christi area this afternoon into the evening. With that
said, the feature looks like to be the main driver combined with
elevated pwat values to get additional rainfall amounts ranging
from 1 to 3 inches with isolated 4 inches through 7 PM CDT this
evening.
By this evening into the overnight hours, parts of the Rio Grande
could still see lingering light showers. This trend persists into
Monday with the rest of the local area staying dry. By Monday
evening, drier conditions spread across south central Texas.
Cooler temperatures are anticipated overnight with lows in the
mid 60s to mid 70s and Monday`s highs in the lower 80s to lower
90s across the local area.
&&
.LONG TERM (TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)...
Dry weather conditions are forecast for the long term forecast
period with some coastal shower and thunderstorm activity late
week into the weekend especially during the afternoon hours.
A warming trend is forecast throughout the week with highs back
into the mid to upper 90s along the I-35 corridor and coastal
plains areas and 80s across the Hill Country and southern
Edwards Plateau.
&&
.AVIATION (18Z SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)...
Showers continue from the Rio Grande eastward into the I-35
corridor, with the more persistent activity between SAT/SSF and DRT.
We have adjusted the forecast to mention showers with TEMPO MVFR
cigs/vsbys through the early afternoon hours. We also removed the
mention of TS for the I-35 sites, but will continue for DRT given IR
satellite and radar trends. Convection should wane with the loss of
daytime heating by early evening along I-35, with some lingering
convection possible into mid-evening at DRT. Drier air in the low-
levels moves in from the northeast and will keep the forecast just
above MVFR at AUS. We will mention MVFR cigs at SAT given locally
higher rainfall amounts and wet ground. MVFR also appears favorable
at DRT given southeast flow just above the surface.
