775 FXUS64 KEWX 240621 AFDEWX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 121 AM CDT Tue Jun 24 2025 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (Today through Wednesday) Issued at 121 AM CDT Tue Jun 24 2025 Key messages: - Seasonable temperatures and heat index values - Low chances of rain each day Coastal Plains to I-35 corridor A Tropical Upper Tropospheric Trough (TUTT) currently seen over the northwestern Gulf drifts over southern Texas/northern Mexico today and Wednesday. This increases moisture levels (PWs) to about 150 percent of seasonal levels. It also enhances forcing from heating and seabreeze. As a result, low chances of showers and thunderstorms will extend from the Coastal Plains in the morning to the I-35 corridor in the afternoon into early evening. Cannot rule out a few showers and a thunderstorm or two during the early evening over the eastern Hill Country and Winter Garden. With little or no changes to the lower level thermal ridge, temperatures and heat index values remain close to late June averages. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday night through Monday) Issued at 121 AM CDT Tue Jun 24 2025 Key messages: - Seasonable temperatures and heat index values - Low chances of rain mainly Coastal Plains to, at times, the I-35 corridor The TUTT weakens and moves off to the west as the Subtropical Ridge becomes more dominant later this week into the weekend. PWs decrease with forcing from heating and seabreeze causing the low chances of showers and thunderstorms to retreat to near the Coastal Plains each afternoon. The Ridge weakens later in the weekend into next week with possible TUTT or easterly waves moving across with an increase in PWs. The low chances of showers and thunderstorms spread west to near the I-35 corridor. Little or no changes continue in the lower level thermal ridging keeping temperatures and heat index values close to average to finish out June. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1250 AM CDT Tue Jun 24 2025 Low clouds continue to slowly develop from the coastal plains northward into the I-35 corridor. Cigs will primarily be MVFR, but based on recent trends, HREF probabilities and lighter winds in the boundary layer, we did opt to add a TEMPO group for IFR at AUS and SAT around sunrise. Will continue to monitor for fog development as well, but suspect cigs will be the main concern for the morning hours. Improving conditions are expected by mid-morning as cigs lift and scatter back to VFR. Winds will be gusty today, but have gone with a little lower wind speeds compared to the past couple of days. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
