830 FXUS64 KEWX 141035 AFDEWX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 535 AM CDT Tue Oct 14 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - Seasonable morning and warm afternoon temperatures continue through early next week. - Weak cold front brings low chances (10-20%) for rain this weekend. && .SHORT TERM... (Today through Wednesday) Issued at 1251 AM CDT Tue Oct 14 2025 Upper level high pressure is currently centered over South Central TX while the surface high has shifted slightly to the east over southern Louisiana. Southeasterly flow should continue resulting in an advection of slightly more moisture for our area that is currently located over the Gulf. Though moisture increases we should still see another cool morning for Tuesday. However, lows should be a touch warmer than yesterday morning with mainly lower 60s east to near 70 west across the Rio Grande Plains. Highs are expected to be similar to Mondays and maybe a few degrees warmer with many areas reaching the lower 90s. Expect a near repeat for Wednesday`s forecast as high pressure slowly pushes off to the east allowing for continued southeasterly flow that eventually becomes predominantly out of the east once the surface high slowly moves away from our area. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday night through Monday) Issued at 1251 AM CDT Tue Oct 14 2025 The upper level ridge continues to remain nearby through the week centering over or just east of our area. Global models continue to remain in great agreement indicating this high shunting all disturbances to our north and west keeping us dry for the week. There remains just a very low chance of showers for Thursday and Friday across the Coastal Plains however most locations will remain dry. Well above normal high temperatures should continue into this week with highs expected to approach and/or exceed 90 degrees. Things get a little bit murkier for this weekend as Global models have started to back off on our rain chances for our area as a weak cold front tries to make its way into our region from the north. Depending on how much forcing and how far south the front makes it will really dictate weather we see some rain or none at all. This is still quite a few days out so things can and likely will change. However, for now our pattern of warmer afternoon highs and cooler mornings looks to continue through the work week. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 535 AM CDT Tue Oct 14 2025 Satellite imagery verifies HREF probabilities of 40-80% of MVFR CIGs over much of the Hill Country and Edwards Plateau, including KDRT. They have formed there and will maintain MVFR CIGS at KDRT through 16Z. Will maintain FEW-SCT at the I-35 sites where probabilities are less than 20%. A drier airmass filters in from the east later today through Wednesday with HREF probabilities of 30-50% only across the Rio Grande into the Edwards Plateau. Will introduce MVFR CIGs at KDRT at 15/10Z. Otherwise, VFR flying prevails. E to SE winds 5 to 15 KTs prevails with the higher speeds at KDRT. However, light and VRBL is expected at the I-35 sites overnight into early Wednesday morning. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
