489 FXUS64 KEWX 040541 AAA AFDEWX Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 1241 AM CDT Wed Jun 4 2025 ...New AVIATION (06Z TAFS)... .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Wednesday night) Issued at 146 PM CDT Tue Jun 3 2025 Key Messages: - Medium (30-60%) chances of a complex of storms tonight and early Wednesday morning across the Hill Country and into portions of the I- 35 corridor - Level 1-2 out of 5 risk for severe storms tonight into early Wednesday morning primarily across the Hill Country to near and north of the Austin metro area Isolated streamer shower and thunderstorm activity near and east of the U.S. 77 corridor will continue to shift east through the afternoon and weaken towards sunset. To the west, new convective development is taking place along the dryline in Terrell county, and this activity could move east through the remainder of the afternoon and evening, clipping portions of the southern Edwards Plateau and northern Hill Country. There is some uncertainty in this, as this morning`s complex of storms through the northern Hill Country has temporarily stabilized this region. Our attention turns farther north, where storms are foreast to develop in west-central and north-central Texas along a cold front. Several CAMs are developing an organized complex of storms across these regions, which advances south into the Hill Country and potentially Austin area during the overnight and pre-dawn hours Wednesday. Most CAMs quickly weaken the complex around sunrise as it approaches the U.S.90/I-10 corridor near San Antonio. We will watch this closely, as the MCSs recently have been overachieving this far south. There is a Level 1-2 out of 5 risk for severe storms with this activity, with damaging wind gusts and large hail the main threats. This severe risk is mainly for the Hill Country to near and north of the Austin metro area. Some isolated pockets of 1-2 inches of rain are possible across Llano and Burnet counties, with amounts trailing off southward, assuming the complex weakens. An overachieving complex could expand both the severe and heavy rainfall risk south of these areas. Wednesday`s forecast depends on the exact evolution of the overnight complex. If a complex does move across much of the area, then the atmosphere is likely to be stabilized behind it for much of the day. However, if the activity does weaken quickly around daybreak, then some greater chances for isolated to widely scattered showers and thunderstorms would be expected during the afternoon, with the remnant outflow boundary serving as a focus in our area. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday through Tuesday) Issued at 146 PM CDT Tue Jun 3 2025 Key Messages: - Widespread heat returns late week with near record high temperatures this weekend. Thursday an upper level ridge will build over Texas from northern Mexico leading to a period of dry weather. This ridge will strengthen over the end of the week. Subsident flow will produce lots of sunshine and temperatures will climb as a result. Highs will rise to well above normal by Friday and may reach records over the weekend. Heat advisories may be needed south of the Hill Country Sunday and Monday. A weak cold front will move into the northern part of our CWA Sunday night and stall. This front will generate sufficient lift to produce showers and thunderstorms from Sunday night through Tuesday. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1223 AM CDT Wed Jun 4 2025 Very few changes from the 00Z forecast as the timing of TSRA looks on track for the predawn and sunrise hours at AUS, SAT, and SSF. Will continue with higher confidence at AUS with a TEMPO for TSRA and lower confidence with SAT and SSF and a PROB30 group utilized. Expect VFR ceilings to return by mid to late morning along with light east southeasterly winds. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
