631 FXUS64 KEWX 062335 AFDEWX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 635 PM CDT Sun Sep 6 2026 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 628 PM CDT Sun Sep 6 2026 - Low (15-25%) chances for showers and thunderstorms Labor Day - Daily sea breeze thunderstorm chances in the Coastal Plains through much of next week - Above average temperatures through the week && .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Monday night) Issued at 1253 PM CDT Sun Sep 6 2026 Upper air analysis this morning shows a large amplitude ridge stretching from West Texas to MN. A weak disturbance over the northwestern Gulf is generating showers and thunderstorms from the TX coast to the Hill Country. Storm coverage over our CWA is isolated at this time. The mid to upper ridge will continue its slow shift to the east through the short term period, but still dominate over Texas. By the start of this period, this evening, any afternoon convection should be coming to an end leaving the area dry overnight. The weak disturbance from the Gulf will be dissipating over the state Monday, but will still generate isolated showers and thunderstorms over the Hill Country. Temperatures will be above normal. Highs Monday will be about five degrees warmer than today. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday through next Sunday) Issued at 1253 PM CDT Sun Sep 6 2026 The strong upper ridge will break down over the northern part of the country, but continue to control the weather over the southern states. Southeasterly low level flow will keep hot, moist air over South-Central Texas. There may be some seabreeze convection each day Tuesday through Thursday over the Coastal Plains, but chances are low. Most of the area will be hot and dry. Temperatures will be steady and above normal through the week. The NBM is showing higher humidity into the week, but it has tended to run moist in the medium term. The forecast higher dewpoints have not developed. However, if the higher dewpoints verify we will reach Heat Advisory criteria over the Coastal Plains and I-35 Corridor by mid-week. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 628 PM CDT Sun Sep 6 2026 TSRA/SHRA has ended for most of the area and calmer VFR conditions should persist overnight. Residual outflows from earlier storms should cause some wind shifts and breezy conditions for a few hours KSAT/KSSF but a weak prevailing SE flow should return after 06Z. Isolated SHRA is possible again after 18Z mainly near KAUS and KT82/STV VORTAC, but probabilities were too low to note in the 00Z TAF and coverage is expected to be lower than Sunday`s activity. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
