.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Monday)
Issued at 101 AM CDT Sun Jul 6 2025

A mid level MCV and unseasonably moist airmass with PWs of 1.7 to
2.4 inches remain in place over our area. This feature and moist
airmass lingers over our area today. Forcing by this feature along
with heating will generate showers and thunderstorms with multiple
models favoring going into this morning. Storm motion vectors favor
slow moving and repeat activity to enhance the efficient warm rain
processes. Locally heavy rains with amounts of 2 to 4 inches are
expected with isolated amounts up to 10 inches possible. These
amounts will aggravate ongoing flooding and likely create new
flooding as soils are very saturated making runoff more rapid. The
heaviest rains are favored over the Hill Country to along the I-35
corridor. We previously extended the Flood Watch through 1 PM CDT
for those areas. The MCV weakens 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. A few hi-res models
show another round of heavy rains late tonight into Monday morning
indicating a potential for another Flood Watch. The clouds and rain
areas keep daytime temperatures below to well below July averages.

.LONG TERM...
(Monday night through Saturday)
Issued at 101 AM CDT Sun Jul 6 2025

The mid level feature gets replaced by an inverted trough moving
onshore the Texas coast on 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 will follow suit. Models/ensembles now show
the Subtropical Ridge not fully building over our area with some
keeping a weakness in the Ridge overhead. All show a drier airmass
spreading over our area keeping rain chances out of the forecast for
the remainder of the week. However, with moisture levels maintaining
seasonal PWs, cannot rule out shower or two each day mainly near the
Coastal Plains with the seabreeze. Trends are for temperatures to
reach near mid July averages.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 101 AM CDT Sun Jul 6 2025

MVFR ceilings developing overnight along the I-35 corridor with MVFR
to IFR ceilings in the Hill Country. Ceilings are forecast to become
VFR again 16Z-18Z. A mid level disturbance will remain near the
region through Sunday. Widely scattered SHRA development is forecast
near this feature overnight and Sunday morning across the I-35
corridor from SAT through AUS and especially northwest into portions
of the Hill Country. An uptick in convective coverage and intensity
is possible Sunday afternoon through the Hill Country, with some
embedded TSRA.
