Area forecast discussion 
National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio Texas 
327 PM CDT Sat may 18 2013 


Short term (tonight through Sunday night)... 
weak elevated convection moving northeastward across S central Texas this 
afternoon...with the high cloudiness from the Pacific keeping 
temperatures down 5-10 degrees over this time Friday. Broad upper 
trough over the western Continental U.S. For the next several days will keep 
a southwesterly flow aloft across S Texas. Series of disturbances in the southwesterly 
flow will track across west/SW Texas across central/North Texas...south 
Texas will remain on the southern edge of more organized convection. 
Therefore only expect isolated storms each late afternoon and 
evening with heating over the higher terrain of The Hill Country 
and along the dry line over the Edwards Plateau. Otherwise continued 
unseasonably warm Sunday...although the Pacific moisture/clouds 
should help keep temperatures shy of record highs. 


&& 


Long term (monday through saturday)... 
little change for Monday from Sunday. By Tuesday chances for 
convection increase due to an upper trough dropping into West Texas 
and bringing a cold front into central Texas Tuesday afternoon and 
evening. Both the GFS and European model (ecmwf) indicate some spotty heavier quantitative precipitation forecast 
amounts with the system Tuesday night/early Wednesday as middle level 
flow parallels the stalling frontal boundary. However low level 
moisture is fairly shallow so expecting average quantitative precipitation forecast amounts to be 
fairly meager at a quarter inch or less. A few lingering 
showers/storms across the central/eastern County Warning Area Wednesday with the 
lingering boundary in the area. Have continued the drying trend 
for Thursday-Fri-Sat of next week as upper ridge builds in from the 
west and probability of a few airmass daytime storms will be too 
low to mention. Have trended with higher guidance temperatures 
for late next week into the weekend given the ridging aloft.
