555 FXUS64 KEWX 082306 AFDEWX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 606 PM CDT Sun Sep 8 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Monday night) Issued at 251 PM CDT Sun Sep 8 2024 High pressure has settled over TX today. Breezy northeasterly winds continue across our CWA. These winds have brought cooler, drier air to South-Central Texas. Temperatures this afternoon are around five degrees cooler than 24 hours ago and dewpoints are five to ten degrees lower. High pressure will continue to dominate during the short term. The low level flow will be northeasterly to easterly. Surface winds will drop off to less than 10 mph after sunset this evening. We will have another cool night with low temperatures in the 50s and 60s again. Temperatures Monday will begin to rebound with highs mostly in the 80s and lower 90s. Winds will be lighter Monday still from the northeast to east. The warming trend will continue Monday night with lows about five degrees warmer. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday through Sunday) Issued at 251 PM CDT Sun Sep 8 2024 As the tropical disturbance over the west Gulf attempts to further organize, the steady NE winds lighten up further with a more due east direction over the Coastal Prairies bringing the dew point back up. The moisture gradient and convergent wind field could send convection as far inland as the I-35 corridor late in the day, but the overall below normal amount of moisture should amount to a sea breeze effect with light rainfall amounts. Wednesday could see a bit farther penetration of tropical showers farther inland, but these trends could go down once the disturbance attempts to become more organized and centralized. The likely track of the disturbance should be on the departing phase by daytime Thursday, and we should once again see a seasonally warm and dry day with continental NE winds. The winds change direction Thursday night, and a warming trend with higher humidity will resume Friday into next weekend as mid level ridging builds back over Central TX. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 606 PM CDT Sun Sep 8 2024 VFR flying conditions prevail tonight through Monday evening. FEW clouds around FL060 and FL250 may spread from the coastal areas toward the I-35 sites. N-NE winds becoming light tonight, then increase and becoming breezy/gusty on Monday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
