SHORT TERM
(Tonight through Friday night)
Issued at 229 PM CST Thu Nov 30 2023
A pre-frontal trough moving through the southern Edwards Plateau and Hill Country is noted on surface observations and can also be seen as clearing of low clouds occurs over the mentioned areas. Farther east, we are seeing some breaks in the cloud cover begin to appear for areas along and east of the I-35 corridor. An axis of higher dewpoints is noted along the Highway 77 corridor, along with locally backed surface winds. Any breaks in the cloud cover could help in the development of some late afternoon thunderstorms along the Highway 77 corridor.
For tonight, the above mentioned surface trough will help usher in some drier air across the Hill Country and southern Edwards Plateau.
A very weak and shallow cold front may also bring some drier air to portions of the I-35 corridor near Austin early Friday morning.
Farther south, dewpoints may still be high enough when combined with mostly clear skies and wet ground to promote fog development generally along and south of U.S. Highway 90. Lows tonight will range from the mid 40s in the Hill Country to near 60 degrees in the coastal plains. Any remnants of the cold front will tend to hang up in the coastal plains tomorrow. With active southwest flow aloft continuing, we could see some more convection develop over the coastal plains region tomorrow afternoon. An isolated thunderstorm or two also remains possible. Weak high pressure and dry air in the low-levels will yield dry conditions Friday night along with overnight lows in the lower 40s to lower 50s.
LONG TERM
(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 229 PM CST Thu Nov 30 2023
Synopsis: The long term period will begin with the continued presence of mean troughing over the western CONUS. An elongated trough axis extending from Baja California to the western Great Lakes will move overhead late Saturday into Sunday, helping to usher a weak surface front/northwest wind shift through the area by Sunday morning. This will bring noticeably drier air into South-Central Texas from Sunday into the beginning of next week, though minimal changes in temperatures are expected. Early period troughing over the western CONUS will be replaced by longwave ridging by the middle of next week, though precise evolution of the upper pattern is less certain locally. There appears to be at least broad consensus amongst the global guidance that height falls will linger over northwestern Mexico, gradually drifting toward the region by the end of the period. The precise character of said height falls -- namely their amplitude and whether or not a closed low can materialize within them -- remains highly uncertain, particularly when comparing ensemble mean solutions to their deterministic counterparts.
Forecast confidence thus decreases by late next week & the conclusion of the long term period.
Saturday Through Monday: Expect a nice stretch of weather with partly to mostly sunny skies, high temperatures ranging from the upper 60s to mid 70s, and dew points dropping into the 20s/30s by Sunday morning. Expect the dry air to last through Monday afternoon.
Winds are forecast to regain a southerly component late Monday, bringing modestly higher moisture into the region moving into the middle of the week.
Wednesday & Thursday: A dry forecast continues to prevail despite the uncertainties regarding the local upper air pattern. High temperatures will likely be a touch cooler, with most locations remaining in the upper 60s.

VFR conditions have now returned to all sites. At KAUS, it appears likely to remain that way through the forecast period, with a drier airmass working it's way in from the west. However, degradation is expected at KSSF and appearing more likely at least temporarily at KSAT/KDRT as well. Sometime in the 06-08Z window, IFR to LIFR cigs and vsbys will develop over southern portions of south-central TX.
Should these impact SAT, improvement would arrive by ~12Z, but SSF may remain under low stratus and fog until 15Z. At KDRT, it's possible developing LIFR cigs could stick around until 17Z. Will monitor trends closely as just a few miles could be the difference between VFR/LIFR conditions tonight into tomorrow morning.
