640 FXUS64 KEWX 142328 AFDEWX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 628 PM CDT Mon Jul 14 2025 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM /THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... Issued at 250 PM CDT Mon Jul 14 2025 An MCV continues to spin near the Mexican border this afternoon. There are isolated showers and thunderstorms from the Rio Grande to Hwy 281. Convection is generally producing moderate rain now. PW in the airmass is still abnormally high, and any stronger updrafts could produce locally heavy rain. These systems tend to be more active overnight when the low level jet strengthens. We are seeing the diurnal reduction which should continue after sunset. This MCV will still be in the region tonight and interact with our very moist airmass. Showers and thunderstorms will continue tonight and Tuesday with locally heavy rain possible. Additional rainfall of 1-3 inches with isolated totals up to 6 inches is possible. We are going to extend the Flood Watch until Tuesday morning and expand it to include all of the I-35 Corridor. Models move the MCV away from our CWA Tuesday evening bringing an end to rain chances. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... Issued at 250 PM CDT Mon Jul 14 2025 A drier weather pattern will move in mid to late next week with the upper ridge nudging westward into the area from the Gulf. Most areas should remain rain free outside of perhaps a stray to isolated shower or storm with the onshore flow and/or sea breeze. Best chance of this would be Friday in the coastal plains. With the decrease in overall cloud cover and slightly stronger 500 mb heights, expect for a slight uptick in the daytime highs through the second half of the week and into the weekend. Right now, rain chances remain out of the forecast, but we`ll also monitor for the possible development of a tropical disturbance or inverted trough following behind in the wake of the upper level ridging that nudges to our area. This feature may slowly advance westward along/parallel to the northern Gulf coast towards and through the weekend. We continue to monitor to see if this feature gains additional model support within the coming forecast cycles. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 628 PM CDT Mon Jul 14 2025 SHRA with OCNL TS are currently along the I-35 corridor and have mentioned VCSH until 01Z there. Expect another round of SHRA/TSRA west of I-35 tonight into Tuesday. Have maintained VCSH mention at KDRT with no mention at the I-35 sites. There is a potential that later forecasts to include prevailing should timing and impacts become more certain. Otherwise, VFR conditions turn MVFR overnight, then return to VFR midday on Tuesday. S to SE winds prevail with some gustiness during the daytime into evening hours, as well as near SHRA/TSRA. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
