720 FXUS64 KEWX 161038 AFDEWX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 538 AM CDT Mon Jun 16 2025 ...New UPDATE, AVIATION... .UPDATE... Issued at 538 AM CDT Mon Jun 16 2025 Very isolated showers and thunderstorms have developed along and east of US 281. Have updated to include mention of slight chances through mid morning across those areas. && .SHORT TERM... (Today through Tuesday) Issued at 155 AM CDT Mon Jun 16 2025 Key Messages: - Low chances of rain east today - Seasonable temperatures with elevated heat index values A few very light showers are noted dropping south. However, they should dissipate by sunrise. Subtropical ridging builds over our area in the short term. Heating and the seabreeze should generate isolated showers and thunderstorms near the Coastal Plains today where an MCV is noted. A shower or thunderstorm or two may be able to make it to the I-35 corridor by evening. Cannot rule out gusty winds and heavy downpours. Otherwise, strengthening subsidence and drying with the ridge will overcome any forcing to keep rain chances out of the forecast. However, cannot rule out a shower or two on Tuesday. Evapotranspiration from moist soils and vegetation due to recent rains maintains near average temperatures and mildly elevated afternoon heat index values. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday night through Sunday) Issued at 155 AM CDT Mon Jun 16 2025 Key Messages: - Dry weather with near normal temperatures until mid-week. - Thunderstorm chances will return for the latter part of the week. A mid to upper level ridge will over west TX. Subsident flow around this ridge will suppress most convection Wednesday. Wednesday high temperatures will be close to normal. However, southeasterly low level flow will keep dewpoints in the upper 60s and lower 70s making heat indices 100 to 105. Thursday an inverted trough will move into TX from the Gulf weakening the upper ridge. This should allow afternoon convection to move in from the coast across the Coastal Plains and into the Hill Country. This unsettled pattern will continue each afternoon through Sunday. At this time any convection looks ordinary with only isolated moderate rainfall, but given the time of year an occasional strong storm isn`t out of the question. && .AVIATION...
