Subject: 10 AM Monday 9 June --Severe Weather Outlook

South Central Texas Partners...

...HEADLINE...Scattered showers and thunderstorms from today through midday Tuesday.  Slight Chance of severe storms today and into this evening across all of South Central Texas.

...AREA OF CONCERN...The best chance for severe storms will be over central and eastern portions of South Central Texas, mainly east of Highway 83.  This includes the Austin and San Antonio metro areas.

...IMPACTS...The most likely severe threat is large hail, with a secondary threat of damaging winds.  Locally heavy rains could also cause minor flash flooding of low water crossings and other typical low spots may occur. There is almost no chance of tornadoes. Rainfall will average 1/2 inch or less with a a few spots could get up to 1-2 inches in a short period of time causing minor flooding.

 ...TIMING...Scattered showers and thunderstorms are moving across the Texas Hill Country this morning and will continue to move eastward throughout today.  The best chance for severe storms will be from Noon to  9 pm today.

...CONFIDENCE...Moderate.

...DISCUSSION...A weak cold front will continue to sag south across Central Texas and end up along Interstate 10 by this afternoon.  Meanwhile, an upper level trough will arrive about the same time, and when combined with the front and moist, Gulf air already in place, produce showers and thunderstorms. There is enough wind shear and instability for severe storms, with primary threats of damaging winds and large hail. Some hail could be golf ball-size or larger. The trough will pass to the east on Tuesday, with rain chances ending quickly from west to east Tuesday.
