182 FXUS64 KEWX 070546 AFDEWX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 1246 AM CDT Mon Jul 7 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - Threat of Flash Flooding from slow moving and repeat heavy rains continues through this evening. The Flood Watch for the Hill Country and I-35 Corridor remains in effect until 10 PM CDT. - Rain chances continue on Monday and Tuesday. - Eventually trending seasonably drier and warmer this coming week. && .UPDATE... Issued at 1010 PM CDT Sun Jul 6 2025 We have let the Flood Watch expire at 10 PM CDT. Models show some redevelopment over the Hill Country to I-35 corridor toward Monday morning, however differ significantly regarding rainfall amounts. There is a potential for another Flood Watch to be issued in later forecasts. && .SHORT TERM /THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... Issued at 230 PM CDT Sun Jul 6 2025 A mid level MCV and unusually moist airmass, with PWs of 1.7 to 2.4 inches, remain in place over our area. We`re seeing showers and thunderstorms develop across the CWA and expect this to continue until this evening. With the high PW and slow cell motion, locally heavy rain will be possible. A Flood Watch remains in effect for the Hill Country and I-35 Corridor. Rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches are expected with isolated amounts up to 10 inches possible. This rain will aggravate ongoing flooding and likely create new flooding as soils are saturated making runoff more rapid. The heaviest rain is expected over the Hill Country to along the I-35 corridor. The MCV will weaken some by Monday with only a slight decrease in moisture/PWs. Showers and thunderstorms may be less focused and have only slight chances on Monday. The clouds and rain areas will keep daytime temperatures below to well below average. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... Issued at 230 PM CDT Sun Jul 6 2025 The mid level feature will be replaced by an inverted trough moving onto the Texas coast Tuesday keeping moisture levels elevated. The blended guidance has caught on to the trends of the last several model runs and indicates low chances of showers and thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon and again Wednesday afternoon. This will spread from the Coastal Plains to the Hill Country. The blended model solution shows the subtropical ridge building over the region over the latter part of the week bringing dry and warmer weather. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1235 AM CDT Mon Jul 7 2025 Analyzing recent radar trends decided to add PROB30s from now until 09Z for KAUS and 07Z to 10Z for KSAT and 08Z to 11Z for KSSF to account for uncertainty with extent of -TSRA timing early this morning. Any storm that forms would bring extreme rainfall rates and a reduction in visibilities. Have kept vicinity showers into the overnight hours with MVFR ceilings returning by 9-10Z this morning and sticking around through late morning. VFR conditions look to return in the afternoon. There is a possibility for -RA/-TSRAs to develop in the afternoon over KAUS but kept mention out of this forecast due to low confidence. For KDRT expect VFR conditions with no precip to continue with MVFR conditions possible after 11Z with VFR CIGs returning by 22Z. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
