604 FXUS64 KEWX 251121 AAA AFDEWX Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 621 AM CDT Fri Jul 25 2025 ...New AVIATION (12Z TAFS)... .KEY MESSAGES... - Low to medium chances (20-50%) for showers and thunderstorms today through Sunday, with highest chances Saturday. - Nearly seasonable late July temperatures and heat indices && .SHORT TERM... (Today through Saturday) Issued at 133 AM CDT Fri Jul 25 2025 An inverted upper level trough and a broad surface to mid level low are fast running out of room and time to develop into a tropical cyclone as it will move onshore the Texas coast later today. The National Hurricane Center has a 10 percent chance of development. Then, the inverted upper level trough and mid level low move over Southern Texas and northern Mexico tonight into Saturday while the surface low dissipates. A dry (PWs .9 to 1.2 inches) and subsident airmass will be replaced by a moist (PWs over 2 inches) and buoyant airmass. Forcing by this system, the seabreeze, and heating should generate isolated to scattered showers with moderate instability allowing for mainly isolated thunderstorms. Will maintain the rain chances along and east of I-35 today and most areas on Saturday. Although, rainfall processes should be efficient, the broad nature of the system without a sharp focus will keep rainfall amounts low. However, cannot rule out a quick half inch to inch which may bring some issues in spots with poor drainage. WPC has maintained a marginal risk for areas east of I-35/I-37 for today and Saturday where the risk of heavy rains is the greatest. Severe storms are not expected, however gusty winds are possible as the storms collapse. The increased clouds along with rain areas will "cool" daytime temperatures across the far east today and most areas on Saturday to below average. && .LONG TERM... (Saturday night through Thursday) Issued at 133 AM CDT Fri Jul 25 2025 With the system nearby and a moist airmass lingering, slight rain chances continue over most areas on Sunday. The Subtropical Ridge restrengthens over our area on Monday through most of next week. A drier and subsident airmass takes hold keeping rain out of the forecast. Warmer, though nearly seasonable, daytime temperatures with slightly elevated heat indices are expected. Another inverted upper level trough possibly moves over our area late next week. Due to the uncertainty, only low rain chances are forecast for Thursday afternoon into next Friday. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 620 AM CDT Fri Jul 25 2025 Little to no change to the previous forecast. Expect VFR for most of the period. Some MVFR ceilings may develop towards sunrise Saturday followed by 30% chance at showers and thunderstorms at AUS and SAT. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
