...New UPDATE...
.UPDATE...
Issued at 916 PM CDT Fri Apr 28 2023
Showers and thunderstorms have moved out of our area into Southern
Texas and the Coastal Plains. Severe storms are no longer expected
and have allowed the Severe Thunderstorm Watch 179 to expire at 9 PM
CDT. Have also removed or lowered POPs. However, cannot rule some
lightning from the anvil of the thunderstorms to our south and
southeast, as well as, some very light rain through midnight.
&&
.UPDATE...
Issued at 715 PM CDT Fri Apr 28 2023
Showers and thunderstorms continue to track to the east-southeast and
at 7PM CDT are along a Giddings to San Antonio line with activity
more scattered to near Cotulla and Laredo. Have removed areas west of
there from the Severe Thunderstorm Watch, as well as, lowered or
removed POPs as the airmass has been stabilized. Remainder of the
Watch and POPs look good through 9 PM CDT as still expect large hail
and damaging wind gusts. Only other changes were to reestablish trend
to the sensible weather parameters.
&&
.MESOSCALE UPDATE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 170...
Severe thunderstorms have developed from Williamson County southwest
to Bandera County over the last couple of hours. Activity has quickly
consolidated into a southeast-advancing line, and has pushed east of
downtown Austin and Williamson County. Mostly large hail has been
reported with this activity, though high velocity values have been
sampled sporadically from radar as well. A storm has blossomed over
southeastern Bandera County over the half hour, likely producing
large to very large hail. This storm has developed along the
southwestern flank of the existing convective line, and finds itself
in an environment uncontaminated by prior convective activity. The
San Antonio Intl ACARS sounding shows 7.5-8 C/km lapse rates above
the boundary layer, suggesting that the near-storm environment will
continue to support explosive development and large hail potential as
the storm approaches and moves over Bexar County. Severe
Thunderstorm Warnings have been issued for areas north of downtown,
and those along/north of I-410 should prepare immediately for large
to very large hail and damaging straight line winds.
Further southwest, activity linked to development along the Serranias
del Burro Mountains continues to move over the Winter Garden region.
This activity has been more cellular in nature, producing mostly
large hail reports over the last 2 hours. Given the isolated nature
of these storms, we will need to monitor for any brief isolated
tornado potential, particularly in the storm currently approaching
Pearsall. Large hail and damaging winds will continue to be the
main hazards with these storms otherwise.
&&
.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Saturday night)
Issued at 146 PM CDT Fri Apr 28 2023
...Key Messages...
* A line of storms will develop across the Hill Country by around
4PM, move eastward across the I-35 corridor between 6-8PM, and
into the Coastal Plains from 8PM-11PM.
* There is a level 3 of 5 risk for severe storms along this line.
Scattered to numerous instances of damaging straight-line wind
gusts and large to very large hail possible. Isolated tornado
also possible.
* While the speed of the system will prevent a widespread heavy
rainfall threat, some isolated pockets of quick flooding are
possible near and east of I-35 where more intense rainfall rates
could occur.
* Remain weather aware this afternoon and evening. Given the
potential timing of storms during the late afternoon into the
Friday evening commute, those with travel plans should pay close
attention to the radar and any potential watches and warnings.
The morning low stratus and patchy fog with the ongoing moisture
advection has mixed out into the afternoon with mostly sunny skies
now across the region. Temperatures have quickly warmed and will
continue to do so through the mid-afternoon. This will continue to
aid in the atmosphere becoming increasingly unstable ahead of the
approach of a strong front and the potent parent upper level low
pressure system. This will lead into the risk for severe storms
that is highlighted below.
Some discrete convection remains on target to develop just to the
north of the region starting mid-afternoon, near a triple point and
south along a dryline. The CAMs remain in strong agreement that
convection will unzip southwest into the Hill Country late afternoon
and eventually into an MCS near the I-35 corridor early this
evening, where a strong pool of instability resides. With steep
elevated lapse rates overspreading the region, MLCAPE values are
indicated to be on the order of 3000-3500 J/kg, in a region of 0-6KM
bulk shear values of around 50 kt. This supports a severe threat of
initially large to very large hail where the storms first unzip late
this afternoon, transitioning to a damaging straight-line wind
threat into and to the east of the I-35 corridor. SPC highlights the
majority of the region in a level 3 of 5 (Enhanced) for severe
storms with the potential in some isolated intense storms of hail 2+
inches in diameter and bowing segments of 75+ mph or greater. The
low-level shear profiles and hodographs may also be enough to where
an isolated tornado threat may be possible as well. While this is a
lower confident hazard compared to the large hail and damaging wind
threat, it could materialize if the updraft/downdraft convergence
zone can remain balanced and any local surges take place orienting
more line-normal to the better 0-3KM bulk shear vectors. The storms
as they advance into and across the coastal plains could become
undercut by the forward propagating front and/or outflow but latest
CAM guidance has become less inclined of this happening compared to
earlier runs.
Due to the speed of the system, widespread heavy rainfall is not
expected. Nevertheless, some pockets of more intense rainfall rates
could lead to an isolated flash flooding threat near and east of the
I-35 corridor. On average, rainfall amounts west of the I-35
corridor counties is expected to remain around or less than 1/4 of
an inch. Along and east of I-35 rainfall amounts of 1/2 to 1 1/2
inches are forecast, with a few pockets of 2-3 inches possible east
of I-35.
Behind the cold front, windy conditions will also be expected to
develop from out of the north-northwest with gusts of 35 to 45 mph
possible this evening across the Southern Edwards Plateau and
western Hill Country this evening. A Wind Advisory will be issued
across these areas from 00Z to 06Z. Breezy conditions are expected
elsewhere from this evening into tonight before winds start to
uptick into/through Saturday morning with daytime heating. Winds
could gust again into the 35 to 45 mph range. The need for another
wind advisory will be possible across a larger portion of South-
Central for that secondary increase in winds. For locations to the
west that could miss out on tonight`s wetting rains, elevated to
near critical fire weather concerns may exist given the breezy
northwesterly flow and drier air during Saturday afternoon.
Becoming much cooler from tonight into Saturday behind the front,
with overnight lows ranging from the upper 40s into the 50s and
afternoon highs ranging from the low 70s to the low 80s along the
Rio Grande. Another cool night will be in store during Saturday
night as the winds slacks off with overnight lows in the mid to
upper 40s and low to mid 50s.
&&
.LONG TERM...
(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 146 PM CDT Fri Apr 28 2023
Most of the long-term portion of the forecast will be rain free as
upper level subsidence then upper level ridging moves into the
region. This should lead to drier air at the surface which should
lead to high temperatures Sunday through Wednesday in the 80s to 90s
with lows in the lower 60s making pretty nice days. Dewpoints will
pick back up Wednesday afternoon through the remainder of the
forecast period. At the same time, a couple of weak disturbances
could translate through the region bringing some low rain chances
back into the forecast. The NBM keeps everything at 20 percent or
less and see no reason to deviate from that at this point.
Otherwise, highs Thursday and Friday will be in the upper 80s to
lower 90s with lows in the upper 60s to lower 70s with the higher
surface moisture.

flying conditions prevail tonight through Saturday night. North to
northwest winds of 15 to 25 KTs with gusts to 30 to 35 KTs prevail
tonight into Saturday due to tight surface pressure gradient, then
gradually decrease Saturday afternoon as the gradient slackens with
a more rapid decrease Saturday evening as airmass decouples after

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Los Angeles/Oxnard CA
836 PM PDT Fri Apr 28 2023
.SYNOPSIS...28/835 PM.
Warm and dry conditions are expected across the interior through
Sunday. Coastal areas will remain mild with persistent low clouds
and locally dense fog. High temperatures will peak Saturday
before rapid cooling begins on Monday, including increasing clouds
and rain chances Tuesday through Thursday.
&&
.SHORT TERM (FRI-MON)...28/832 PM.
Upper level ridge of high pressure will remain over Southwest
California through Saturday, then cyclonic flow develops on
Sunday and Monday as an upper level low pressure system develops
off the coast of northern California. Near the surface, moderate
onshore flow will prevail through the period although some weak
northerly offshore gradients develop Sunday evening.
Satellite imagery showing low clouds and fog surging inland
across the coastal plain this evening. ACARS data showing the
marine layer depth around 1200 feet this evening across the
LA Basin. The marine layer depth is expected to remain shallow
through Saturday so inland extent of stratus/fog will be less
than this morning, likely just reaching the lower coastal valleys.
However, with the more shallow inversion, there will likely be
some patchy dense fog tonight. For Saturday night and Sunday
night, the cyclonic flow aloft and onshore surface flow will allow
for the inversion to deepen and allow stratus/fog to penetrate
further inland each night. Other than the stratus, there will be
varying amounts of high clouds drifting overhead through Monday,
so can expect mostly clear to partly cloudy conditions outside of
the stratus/fog.
As for temperatures, Saturday will be the warmest day through the
period. Away from the coast, temperatures on Saturday will climb
into the mid 80s to mid 90s, while temperatures along the coast
remain noticeably cooler with continued marine influence. However
for Sunday and Monday, cooler conditions can be expected for all
areas as thicknesses lower and marine influence increases.
.LONG TERM (TUE-FRI)...28/200 PM.
For the extended, main concern will be previously mentioned upper
low developing off the northern California coast on Monday. As
this low moves southward, it will bring the threat of rain and
high elevation snowfall to the area Tuesday through Thursday (with
some light shower threat lingering into Friday).
Model-wise, the deterministic models differ in the details of the
track of the upper low as well as available moisture (which is to
be expected this time of year). Basically, the GFS is faster and a
bit further westward with the track of the low than the ECMWF. So,
the GFS generates noticeably less precipitation than the ECMWF
solution. Looking at the ensembles, the same story is indicated.
The GFS members indicate noticeably less precipitation than the
ECMWF members. So, there is high confidence in receiving
measurable rainfall next week, but still low confidence in timing
and amounts.
Current forecast QPF is for generally 0.25-0.75 inches of rainfall
with local amounts up to 1.00 inch. Looking at NBM probabilities,
there is a 20-40% chance of a 1-2 inch event. So, the uncertainty
remains. Snow levels look to drop to around the 4500-5500 foot
range. So, there will be some measurable snowfall at the higher
elevations, but confidence in amounts is still low due to the
uncertainty of rainfall amounts. 500 mb temperatures are forecast
to be around -25 degrees Celsius Wednesday/Thursday which means
at least a non-zero chance of thunderstorms across the area. Given
all the model differences, still too early to include any mention
of thunderstorms, but the potential will need to be monitored over
the coming days.
&&
.AVIATION...29/0112Z.
At 0105Z at KLAX, the marine layer was 1200 ft deep. The top of
the inversion was at 3000 ft with a temperature of 22 C.
High confidence in desert TAFs. Low to moderate confidence in
remaining TAFs due to uncertainty in the marine layer cloud timing.
Timing of flight cat changes may be off by up to 3 hours. At KPRB
there is a 20% chance of LIFR conds from 12Z-16Z. At KSBP and
KSMX there is a 40% chance for 1/4 SM from 06Z-16Z, with a 20%
chance at KSBA, KOXR. and KCMA.
KLAX...Moderate confidence in TAF. Timing of flight cat changes
may be off by up to 3 hours. LIFR candidness likely by late
evening or overnight. There is a 20% chance of 1/4SM and Vv001
conds 06Z-16Z. MVFR/IFR cigs likely to continue through Saturday
afternoon. No significant east wind component expected.
KBUR...Moderate confidence in TAF. There is a 20# chance of
LIFR/VLIFR conditions between 12z-15Z Saturday.
&&
.MARINE...28/834 PM.
High confidence in conditions remaining below Small Craft
Advisory (SCA) level for all waters through at least Saturday
morning. Winds will begin to increase Saturday afternoon through
early Sunday ahead of an approaching frontal system
This is expected to bring strong NW winds and steep hazardous
seas across most of the waters Sunday afternoon through through
Monday evening. Across the waters along the Central Coast and
south to San Nicolas Island there is high confidence in SCA level
winds, and a 50-60% chance of Gale Force winds. For the Santa
Barbara Channel, Sunday afternoon through Monday there is a 50-70%
chance of SCA level winds, and a 30-40% chance of Gales. On
Sunday, winds will be higher in the western portion of the
Channel, and on Monday winds will be high for the entire channel.
For the nearshore waters south of the Channel Islands there is
moderate confidence in SCA winds on Monday with a 20-30% chance of
Gales.
Steep, hazardous seas will build throughout the waters, to between
9 to 12 feet over the outer waters and generally 6 to 9 feet
nearshore. Late Monday night through Wednesday, decreasing winds
and seas are expected.

930 PM CDT Fri Apr 28 2023
...New UPDATE...
.UPDATE...
Issued at 916 PM CDT Fri Apr 28 2023
Only a few changes needed to the forecast this evening.
The main concern overnight is the potential for fog development.
Some guidance is suggesting short periods of dense fog may be
possible in the hours before sunrise (3AM to 6AM), but the main
area of concern shifts from our southwestern areas to our eastern
counties depending on the model. In the next few hours, we may
have a better handle on where/if dense fog might develop as
visibilities begin to fall. Winds have become mostly calm, which
will help with fog development, but increasing cloud cover from
the west might keep temperatures a touch warmer than
expected...reducing the chance for fog over our western counties.
Anyway, it will be something to watch and perhaps adjust your
travel plans for early Saturday morning. Other than that, only
made a few changes to hourly temperatures to account for a
slightly warmer trend this evening. Showers will start to move
into northwest Middle TN shortly after sunrise Saturday morning.
&&
.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Saturday Night)
Issued at 159 PM CDT Fri Apr 28 2023
Scattered showers dot the radar this afternoon as the surface low
slowly lifts northward out of the Ohio River Valley. ACARS
soundings from BNA show ample moisture below 700 mb with steep
low level lapse rates. Above 700 mb, the profiles quickly dry out.
This is allowing these low top showers to develop but not really
take off despite SBCAPE values between 500-1250 J/kg. CAPE values
along with the shower activity will drop off this evening with
the loss of diurnal influences. Overnight, Middle Tennessee will
be stuck right along a warm front. Ample low level moisture will
remain coupled with calm winds. Clouds will scatter this evening.
This will allow areas of fog to develop. Model guidance indicates
that some areas of fog could be become dense. Clouds will begin
to move back into the area near dawn which could work against the
fog, but we`ll have to keep an eye out for the possibility of a
dense fog advisory overnight.
Another system will approach the area on Saturday. The warm front
will lift north of the area during the morning. Showers will
approach the west during the morning and those showers will spread
eastward through the afternoon. A cold front will be knocking on
the door in the west by 00Z Sunday. That front will sweep through
the area Saturday night ending the rain chances from west to east.
There is a small chance of a storm Saturday afternoon and into the
evening before instability falls off. Nothing strong or severe is
expected.
&&
.LONG TERM...
(Sunday through next Friday)
Issued at 159 PM CDT Fri Apr 28 2023
A drier pattern will settle in starting on Sunday with large scale
troughing setting up centered over the Great Lakes. If you can
look past breezy conditions, then Sunday looks pretty nice. There
should be plenty of sunshine with temperatures spanning the 60s.
Sunday night will be on the cool side with lows in the low to mid
40s. The 60s and 40s theme will continue on Monday and Tuesday as
the large upper trough persists. There will finally be some
movement on Wednesday as the trough slides east taking the coolest
air with it. Middle Tennessee will stay dry through Wednesday. The
next chance of showers will hold off until at least Thursday.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Phoenix AZ
523 PM MST Fri Apr 28 2023
.UPDATE...
Updated Aviation section.
&&
.SYNOPSIS...
Under strong high pressure, temperatures will continue above the
seasonal normal through early next week. In fact, many lower
elevation communities should breach the 100 degree threshold for the
first time this year over the weekend. By the middle of next week, a
low pressure system will become established off the California coast
allowing temperatures to retreat closer to normal and yielding
locally breezy conditions. Despite this transition, a continuation
of dry weather should be expected.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
A trough is currently seen on WV satellite pushing through NM and
ejecting into the Southern Plains this afternoon. Upstream from
this is a high amplitude ridge that is slowly progressing
eastward. The induced pressure gradient between the high and low
pressures has been leading to the some breezy north to northeast
winds, but mainly across high terrain areas of AZ. These breezes
will continue through Saturday, while veering more easterly.
Aircraft soundings out of Phoenix have shown a slight warming in
the lower troposphere over the last 24 hours. This should yield
highs this afternoon a degree or two warmer than yesterday. Some
spots in Southeast CA and Southwest AZ may experience their first
100 degree day of the year. Others will have to wait until
tomorrow or Sunday as temperatures continue to warm while ridging
transitions across the area. Sunday still looks like the warmest
day in the forecast, however NBM forecast highs for Saturday have
trended a couple of degrees warmer than the previous forecast
package, with 99F now forecast for Phoenix. NBM probability of
reaching or exceeding 100F at Sky Harbor Airport (official Phoenix
climate site) Saturday is up to 25%. Chances are higher on Sunday
for Phoenix, ~70%, with a forecast high of 102F. A high of 102F on
Sunday will tie a daily record if reached (see Climate section).
The only thing that could potentially inhibit temperatures
slightly will be clouds. High-res models suggest there will be an
increase in high clouds through Sunday, but forecast sounds
suggest they will not be very thick. Either way, widespread
Moderate HeatRisk is expected with temperatures this weekend. So,
take precautionary measures.
.PREVIOUS FORECAST...
Ridging will shift east into the plains during the first half of
next week as a seasonally strong negative PV anomaly intensifies
along the California coast. NAEFS mean output indicates central H7-
H5 heights better than 3 normalized standard deviations below normal
materializing, though the eastward extent of these anomalies remains
in question and the primary cold core could essentially stall west
of the Los Angeles basin given the blocking pattern. Nevertheless,
an enhanced pressure gradient supported by the initial height falls
and tightened thermal gradient should support increased winds Monday
through much of the forecast area. NBM temperature guidance spreads
widen substantially during the middle and latter half of next week in
association with uncertainty on how the blocking pattern evolves and
magnitude of additional height falls entering the SW Conus. Recent
NBM output suggests temperatures briefly falling into a below normal
category, though foreast confidence is low and ensemble output
supports ~25% chance of only retreating back to around the seasonal
normal.
&&
.AVIATION...Updated at 0023Z.
South-Central Arizona including KPHX, KIWA, KSDL, KDVT:
A ridge of high pressure is building over the western CONUS as the
southern end of a large trough moves onto the southern Plains.
This will favor north and northeasterly flow aloft through
Saturday afternoon. At the surface, north and northeasterly winds
will overspread the TAF sites early in the TAF period. In fact,
KPHX has already begun the transition. However, there may be some
variability in directions before 02Z fluctuating between NEly and
NWly. There will be variability in speeds early on as well with
speeds sometimes below 6kts and sometimes brief gusts of up to
15-20kts. Overnight, directions will become more variable but
speeds will mostly be less than 7kts. With daytime heating,
southeasterly directions will overspread the Valley floor after
15Z/16Z with some minor gustiness possible. Light west winds
develop in the afternoon. Otherwise, skies will be clear.
Southeast California/Southwest Arizona including KIPL and KBLH:
A ridge of high pressure is building over the western CONUS as the
southern end of a large trough moves onto the southern Plains.
Winds in the lower half of the troposphere will generally favor
easterly directions through Saturday morning before trending to
southerly in the afternoon. At the surface, KIPL will favor
upvalley/downvalley patterns with east/southeast for much of the
daytime and then westerly for much of the night. Anticipate KBLH
will have a lot of directional variability after
north/northeasterly this evening followed by southerly Saturday
afternoon. Minor cirrus will increase Saturday afternoon but
otherwise skies will be clear.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
Dry conditions with above normal temperature will persist through
the weekend. Northeast wind gusts will be most pronounced early this
afternoon in eastern districts though speeds should remain below
critical thresholds. Enhanced easterly ridge top wind gusts may
also be possible Saturday morning before relaxing the remainder of
the weekend. Otherwise, minimum afternoon humidity levels will
mostly fall below 10% with poor to fair overnight recovery of 15-
35%. Temperatures will steadily cool closer to the seasonal
normal, and even below normal for a day or two, through next week
with modest improvements in humidity levels as afternoon readings
fall into a 10-20% range and overnight recovery improves towards
a 35-55% range. However, winds may increase markedly during this
transition, especially Monday where near critical thresholds may
be reached. A locally elevated fire danger may continue into the
middle of the week with gusty winds and low afternoon humidity
values.

.HYDROLOGY...Updated 210 AM MST 4/26/2023
Gila: Flow in the Gila River continues to travel downstream through
Yuma County as water releases from Painted Rock Dam continue.
Releases from Painted Rock Dam remain above 3000 cfs. Continued
releases from the dam will lead to inundation of downstream
unbridged river crossings through Yuma County. Several unbridged
roads in Yuma County have already reportedly been closed due to
flooding. Flood warnings remain in effect downstream of Painted Rock
Dam to the Colorado River. The latest USGS gauge observation along
the Gila River near Dateland recorded a depth around 8.4 feet, which
is just above action stage (8 feet). The latest forecast from the
CBRFC indicates that flow in the river will remain above action
stage through at least the next week. Thus, Flood Warnings along the
Gila River will be in effect through at least May 2nd.
