139 FXUS64 KEWX 061114 AAA AFDEWX Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 614 AM CDT Sun Oct 6 2024 ...New AVIATION (12Z TAFS)... .SHORT TERM... (Today through Monday) Issued at 214 AM CDT Sun Oct 6 2024 Tropical Storm Milton has developed over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. While we would hope for some moisture in the region, a tropical system like this would pose a bigger threat than just rainfall. Milton is expected to become a hurricane and then threaten Florida by midweek. Meanwhile, here at home, things are looking dry once again Sunday through Monday. Above normal temperatures will be the story, but record-breaking heat is not expected at this time. Highs will climb into lower and middle 90s both Sunday and Monday. Weak northerly flow in the mid-levels is expected until Milton moves into the eastern Gulf. Mornings will remain relatively comfortable, but don`t expect much relief in the way of rain or cold fronts any time soon. && .LONG TERM... (Monday night through Saturday) Issued at 214 AM CDT Sun Oct 6 2024 Overall, no significant changes are expected during the long-term portion of the forecast. A dry airmass is expected to continue and no rain is expected for the long-term period which continues to not be good news for South-Central Texas. The afternoon periods will continue to see upper 80s to middle 90s across the area. This will be several degrees above normal for this time of the year. The one bright side is dewpoints will continue to be on the lower side which will lead to comfortable evening and overnight periods. Lows will mainly be in the upper 50s to middle 60s which should be somewhat close to climatological normals for the time of the year. Ensemble temperature spreads do increase in about 10 days which signals some members bring a cold front, but this is still pretty far out and no significant agreement between the ensemble members. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 610 AM CDT Sun Oct 6 2024 The only change from the previous forecast was to introduce MVFR ceilings at SAT through 15Z. Otherwise, the previous forecast remains on track. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
