855 FXUS64 KEWX 031750 AFDEWX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 1250 PM CDT Sun Aug 3 2025 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - Marginal Risk (Level 1 of 4) for excessive rainfall tonight over northern Burnet and Llano Counties. - Increasingly hot and dry weather expected Tuesday-Friday. && .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Monday night) Issued at 1207 PM CDT Sun Aug 3 2025 Northwesterly flow aloft continues today but without any mid-level forcing for afternoon convection, the threat for rain and storms is low (less than 10%). Expect a seasonably hot afternoon with highs in the upper 90s to lower 100s. Another chance at showers and storms arrives with a shortwave disturbance rounding the eastern periphery of the subtropical ridge to our west. Some morning convection appears possible given the latest 12Z CAMs, and PoPs were expanded compared to what the NBM populated. PoPs are expected to linger into the afternoon and evening hours, with some locally heavy rainfall possible once again, primarily along and east of I-35. Our area is not outlooked for any excessive rainfall by WPC and most storms should be more transient in nature than the convection we`ve seen the last couple days. Storms may linger through late Monday evening before weakening after sunset. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday through Sunday) Issued at 1207 PM CDT Sun Aug 3 2025 For the most part, the long term period looks hot and dry with the exception being over the Coastal Plains, where seabreeze showers and storms are possible, particularly on Tuesday when the ridge hasn`t gotten a firm hold of our region yet. By Wednesday and beyond, hot and dry conditions are expected with just a few showers possible over southern Lavaca and DeWitt counties each afternoon. Highs will climb into the upper 90s to around 100 each day, with mornings in the 70s. There are some signs that the ridge may break down and push back west by the weekend, opening the door for north to northwest flow again, but there is some disagreement among medium range guidance on this solution. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1207 PM CDT Sun Aug 3 2025 VFR conditions are expected through the remainder of today as winds generally remain from the south and southeast. We will continue to monitor an outflow boundary moving southward into central Texas for some possible isolated convection this afternoon. However, with low confidence, we will not include any mention of SHRA or TSRA today. Overnight, some low cloud development is possible, especially as we head toward sunrise. For now, we will only mention SCT low clouds at AUS, with TEMPO MVFR cigs at SAT and SSF between 11 and 15Z. We will not mention any low clouds in the forecast at DRT. We did opt to add a PROB30 for TSRA at AUS Monday afternoon given the most recent round of hi-res guidance. 1248 PM CDT Sun Aug 3 2025 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
