...New UPDATE, AVIATION...

.KEY MESSAGES...

  Coastal Plains.

- Seasonally hot and mainly dry weather for the remainder of the
  week into next weekend.

.UPDATE...
Issued at 555 AM CDT Mon Aug 4 2025

An MCS is surging to the south over North Central Texas this morning.
It should move into our Central Texas counties after sunrise, then
leave a surface boundary for storms to fire on later this morning
through the afternoon, that will then move to the southwest on the
flow aloft. Have raised POPs a little for most areas. However, best
chances remain over the Hill Country to across the I-35 corridor to
the Coastal Plains. Locally heavy rains and gusty winds are the main
threats.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Tuesday)
Issued at 130 AM CDT Mon Aug 4 2025

The subtropical ridge is centered to our west this morning
resulting in northwesterly to northerly flow aloft over TX.
Today a shortwave trough in the northwest flow regime will move
across the region. This will bring chances for showers and
thunderstorms today and this evening. Convection is possible
from the Hill Country to the Coastal Plains. Rain chances will
be highest during the afternoon with the heating of the day and
over the eastern counties where the best combination of lift and
deep layer moisture will be. The shortwave will move away from
the region tonight and the ridge will build toward the east.
This will make the overnight and Tuesday morning period dry.
Tuesday afternoon there may be enough heating over the eastern
part of the CWA to generate isolated showers or thunderstorms.
Temperatures through the period will be within a couple of
degrees or normal.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday night through Sunday)
Issued at 130 AM CDT Mon Aug 4 2025

The upper ridge will build farther east and bring an end to
convection for most of the CWA for most of the rest of the week.
There will be some low chances for showers and thunderstorms
over the Coastal Plains Wednesday and Thursday afternoons along
the seabreeze. Low level flow will be from the south to
southeast through the week. Temperatures will be fairly steady.
Highs should be within a couple of degrees of normal during this
hottest part of the year.

&&

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 555 AM CDT Mon Aug 4 2025

The above mentioned MCS and surface boundary remain on track to
generate impacts for the I-35 sites. Have introduced SHRA/TSRA
mention for mid to late morning at KAUS while maintaining PROBs for
all I-35 sites for this afternoon into evening. VFR flying conditions
prevail today through Tuesday morning. However, brief reductions of
CIGs/VSBYs are possible in SHRA/TSRA. Some MVFR level clouds are also
possible this morning and late tonight into Tuesday morning. S to SE
winds prevail, however erratic wind directions and wind gusts to 35
KTs or so are possible near SHRA/TSRA.
