758 FXUS64 KEWX 150544 AAA AFDEWX Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 1244 AM CDT Mon Jul 15 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Monday night) Issued at 216 PM CDT Sun Jul 14 2024 Weather conditions become much more quiet today and tomorrow compared to previous days as mid-level high pressure from the east builds over much of the area. To the west/northwest, an inverted trough remains bringing some low end precipitation chances to our far west this afternoon. Additionally, some isolated showers or thunderstorms will be possible mainly around Lavaca and DeWitt Counties. Dry conditions return this evening and look to remain through tomorrow. Afternoon cloud cover will limit high temperatures this afternoon to the upper 80s to mid 90s. Clouds look to remain overnight shifting to the south as the day goes on tomorrow. This will bring a slight increase in high temperatures Monday from the mid 90s to around 100 degrees. Heat indices both today and tomorrow will be highest in the coastal plains but should generally remain below Heat Advisory criteria. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday through Sunday) Issued at 216 PM CDT Sun Jul 14 2024 The beginning of the long term period will be dry with warming temperatures as the upper ridge strengthens. Highs will climb back above normal. Adding in the afternoon humidity may push heat indices to the advisory level over the Coastal Plains Wednesday. There will also be low chances for showers and thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon over the Coastal Plains along a seabreeze boundary. Models continue to bring a frontal boundary through north and central TX Thursday and Friday. This will bring a chance for convection across the entire CWA beginning Thursday afternoon and continuing through Friday afternoon. As with any convection this time of year some places could receive a quick inch of rain, but widespread heavy rain is not likely. The upper ridge will remain weak over the weekend and diurnally driven convection will be possible each afternoon and early evening Saturday and Sunday. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1230 AM CDT Mon Jul 15 2024 Satellite imagery shows high clouds continue to gradually thin from west to east, with some recent low cloud development noted over the Hill Country and nearby I-35 corridor. We will continue to mention MVFR cigs for the I-35 sites between 08-15Z as low cloud continue to expand. For DRT, we have only mentioned SCT low clouds around daybreak. Low clouds will lift and mix out to VFR around 15Z as southerly winds begin to increase. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
