.SHORT TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
Issued at 125 PM CDT Fri Jul 4 2025

A mid to upper level low continues to move through our CWA this
afternoon. It has generally been weakening, but still has
pockets of stronger showers. Locally heavy rain is possible this
afternoon and the Flood Watch remains in effect. Rain chances
will decrease this evening, but 30%-40% POPs will continue over
the eastern half of the CWA tonight and Saturday. The upper
level disturbance will continue to slowly dissipate as it moves
toward the southeast. Rainfall amounts will be lower overall,
but locally heavy rain will be possible. Storm motion is
expected to more progressive and we don`t expect any flooding.
Saturday night rain chances will decrease further. Low
temperatures tonight and tomorrow night will be near normal, but
highs Saturday will be below normal.

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Issued at 125 PM CDT Fri Jul 4 2025

The mid level feature will linger into Sunday. Moisture levels
will remain elevated enough to allow for isolated to widely
scattered showers and thunderstorms over Hill Country and Rio
Grande Plains. The subtropical ridge will build more fully over
our area next week. Chances of showers and thunderstorms wane
as the airmass dries under increasing subsidence. The only rain
chances will be with the seabreeze near the Coastal Plains each
afternoon Monday and Tuesday. Increased sunshine will lead to
temperatures warming to near to slightly above average.

.AVIATION /19Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 125 PM CDT Fri Jul 4 2025

An organized storm complex is drifting slowly east across the region
with bands of RA and isolated TSRA. TSRA coverage is decreasing and
prevailing CIGs have lifted to MVFR for most terminals, but expect
temporarily reduced VSBYs in RA BR conditions at AUS and SAT and
vicinity through at least 20z. Have added TEMPOs to indicate these
transient conditions. CIGs may lift to VFR by 21Z before MVFR CIGs
return overnight for most sites. S to SE winds prevail regionwide up
to about 10 kt through the TAF period.
