696 FXUS64 KEWX 021102 AFDEWX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 602 AM CDT Tue Jul 2 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today through Wednesday) Issued at 201 AM CDT Tue Jul 2 2024 Things are fairly quiet overnight across South-Central Texas overnight with some high clouds in place across eastern areas. Could see some patchy low clouds by morning but widespread low clouds are not expected. Winds are southerly and temperatures remain in the lower 80s. Low temperatures by day break will be in the middle to upper 70s across the area. Expect another day with highs topping out in the upper 90s to near 100 degrees across the region. Expecting decent mixing this afternoon for most areas outside the eastern counties and expecting heat index values to be lower than Heat Advisory criteria. Lows tonight will be back in the upper 70s to near 80 degrees. Temperatures Wednesday may be a degree or two cooler and again not anticipating any need for heat headlines. The short-term period will remain dry with upper level high pressure continuing over the region. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday night through Monday) Issued at 201 AM CDT Tue Jul 2 2024 The subtropical ridge will be centered over the southeastern US Wednesday night and expand westward Thursday and Thursday night. Subsident flow around the high will suppress any convection through mid-day Friday. Temperatures from Wednesday night through Friday will be above normal with lows from the middle 70s to near 80 and highs from the upper 90s to near 103. Generally speaking dewpoints will mix out down into the 60s during the afternoons and heat indices will remain below advisory levels. A weak cold front will drop into Central Texas and may push some showers and thunderstorms into our northern counties Friday afternoon and evening. This boundary will linger in the region Saturday and there will be another low chance for convection across the north and east. The front will move away and dissipated Saturday night into Sunday. Slight rain chances will then shift to the Coastal Plains in strong onshore flow. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 600 AM CDT Tue Jul 2 2024 Have not seen much in the way of low clouds develop overnight and will keep all TAFs VFR through the cycle with mainly just some passing high clouds. Southerly winds will prevail with some slightly breezy speeds during the afternoon and evening periods. Otherwise, no major problems are expected during this TAF cycle. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
