245 FXUS64 KEWX 082308 AFDEWX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 608 PM CDT Wed Oct 8 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - Isolated showers through early evening mainly across the western Hill Country, southern Edwards Plateau, and Rio Grande. - Low humidity, cooler mornings, and warm afternoons Friday through the weekend. && .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Thursday night) Issued at 1256 PM CDT Wed Oct 8 2025 The highest moisture today resides over the western Hill Country, southern Edwards Plateau and Rio Grande Plains where isolated showers are favored through early this evening. Elsewhere, slightly drier is in place with northeasterly surface winds. Spotty rain totals from a few hundredths to around 0.5 inch are expected, similar to yesterday. Isolated showers or thunderstorms will end this evening with dry weather returning for the rest of the period and for the long term forecast. && .LONG TERM... (Friday through next Wednesday) Issued at 1256 PM CDT Wed Oct 8 2025 Mid-level ridging dominates over Texas Friday into the weekend as drier air filters in the low levels due to high pressure extending into the area from the northeast. This drier air will bring dewpoints into the mid and low 50s for many locations Friday and Saturday which will aid in some lower morning temperatures in the 50s to mid 60s. Highs will still be on the warm side each afternoon. There is some model uncertainty if the upper ridge shifts east or stays overhead of South Central Texas early next week, but either way it does look like increased low level moisture gradually returns to the area increasing low temperatures next week. Highs continue to stay stagnant from the upper 80s to low or mid 90s. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 601 PM CDT Wed Oct 8 2025 VFR conditions expected at all terminals throughout the forecast period. Main concern is the very isolated chance of -SHRAs for KDRT though the chance is low, expect most activity to die off around sunset. Have kept the mention of VCSH through 01Z just in case. Some gusty winds affecting KAUS however after sunset things should quiet down with light east northeasterly winds. Winds ramp up a bit for all sites except KDRT tomorrow afternoon with 10-12 sustained and gusts to about 22 Kts, however VFR CIGS remain for all sites. KDRT should see lighter winds 6 kts or less through tomorrow afternoon. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
