Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX
244 PM CDT Mon Aug 19 2019

.SHORT TERM (Tonight through Tuesday Night)...
Subtropical ridge remains over much of the Srn/SWrn US, but some
weakness on the periphery will push from the Gulf into South TX
tonight. The impact on our temps will be subtle, but we may see
showers and thunderstorms push a bit deeper inland for Tuesday as
suggested by some Convective Allowing Models. High temps over the
more populated I-35 Corridor areas should only see a 1 or 2 degree
improvement over the short-term, but most areas should see triple
digits for at least one more day.

.LONG TERM (Wednesday through Monday)...
The subtropical ridge axis remains anchored from the Sonoran desert
into the Red River valley of TX with mostly stable conditions holding
steady over South-Central TX through Thursday.

Deterministic models continue to indicate a mid-level weakness
moving north along the Wrn Gulf to possibly increase Coastal Prairie
activity on Friday. By this time, portions of the ridge may also be
weakened by a developing tropical cyclone over the Pacific which is
forecast to generally run parallel with the Pacific coastline of
Mexico/CA. This part of the forecast will show decreasing confidence
with time from Friday going forward through the rest of the 7-day
forecast, but there is a general trend for the ridging aloft to
weaken with a more prominent mid-level northerly flow in the mid-
levels developing over TX. For this time of year, given the amount
of moisture the atmosphere can hold, that is at least enough
justification to bring a more broad coverage of isolated PoPs into
the area for the weekend into next week. This could evolve into a
more unstable and cooler pattern, but will take a more conservative
approach and keep a couple degrees to the warm side of guidance max
temps early next week.
