Expires:No;;874695 FXUS64 KEWX 061809 AFDEWX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 109 PM CDT Sun Apr 6 2025 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today through Monday) Issued at 213 AM CDT Sun Apr 6 2025 Short Term... Key Message: - Gusty wind will allow for wind chills as low as the mid 20s this morning with calm but cold conditions again tonight into Monday morning. The pressure gradient remains tight over South Central Texas as an upper level low slowly shifts east of the area through the day today. Northwest wind around 15 to 35 mph will persist through the morning, with some wind gusts up to around 40 mph. Winds will slightly weaken through the afternoon hours, but really drop off this evening as surface high pressure moves over the area. Temperatures early this morning will be unseasonably cold, in the 30s for the southern Edwards Plateau and Hill Country and in the 40s elsewhere. Circling back to our gusty wind, wind chills values in the coldest locations could feel as low as the mid-20s around sunrise. Quite the difference from last night where lows were in the 50s and 60s. Highs this afternoon will be the coolest of the week ranging from the mid and upper 50s north to the mid and upper 60s south. Cloudy skies this morning should start to clear this afternoon at least allowing for a bit of sunshine with the breezy and cool weather. Clear skies and light wind tonight will allow temperatures to tank again into the low 30s north to mid 30s south. A few spots in the Hill Country will see a few hours of near 32F temps and possibly a light freeze. Clear skies and a slight warm up are seen Monday with temperatures mostly in the 70s for South Central Texas. && .LONG TERM... (Monday night through Saturday) Issued at 213 AM CDT Sun Apr 6 2025 Dry and warm conditions are expected for the long term period with a north to northwest flow aloft. At the surface, a light southeast flow is anticipated from Monday night through at least Wednesday morning. Winds increase from the south on Wednesday afternoon in response to a mid level short wave pushing across the Southern Plains. The short wave continues to advance to the south into South Central Texas and sends a Pacific cold front our way on Thursday. Northerly winds and gusts are expected to increase in the wake of boundary Thursday afternoon with winds ranging from 15 to 25 mph with gusts of 30 to 40 mph. Winds begin to ease overnight. Dry conditions persist in the wake of the frontal passage with temperatures cooling a little bit on Friday but coming back up for the weekend as southerly winds return as surface high pressure stays to the east of the local area. A wind event is shaping for Saturday into Sunday at least across the Rio Grande, Southern Edwards Plateau, and Hill Country with southerly winds in the 15 to 25 mph and gusts of 30 to 45 mph. Time will tell. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1236 PM CDT Sun Apr 6 2025 Any remaining ceilings are at VFR heights.
