DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 105 AM CDT MON MAY 11 2026
A MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE DIVING SOUTHEAST, IN CONJUNCTION WITH A
SOUTHWARD-MOVING COLD FRONT HAS LED TO A THREAT FOR STRONG TO SEVERE
STORMS LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY MORNING. AT TIME OF WRITING
(11:30 PM), A QLCS EXTENDS FROM SAN ANTONIO TO JUST SOUTH OF EAGLE
PASS. DAMAGING WIND GUSTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPORTED, WITH ISOLATED
GUSTS UP TO 75 MPH IN THE STRONGEST BOWING SEGMENTS. HAIL HAS ALSO
BEEN RECORDED, BUT WITH THE CONVECTION LOOKING TO BECOME OUTFLOW
DOMINANT, CONFIDENCE IN LARGE HAIL IS QUICKLY DIMINISHING. A SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH 5 AM.
IN ADDITION TO THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT, LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL
WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE INTO EARLY MONDAY MORNING. PWATS REMAIN ABOVE
THE 75TH PERCENTILE FOR EARLY MAY, WITH VALUES NEAR OR JUST ABOVE
1.60 INCHES, WHICH SUPPORTS DECENT RAINFALL PRODUCTION. WPC
CONTINUES TO MAINTAIN A MARGINAL RISK (LEVEL 1 OF 4) FOR EXCESSIVE
RAINFALL ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTH TEXAS. WHILE THE PROGRESSIVE
NATURE OF THE CONVECTIVE LINE SHOULD LIMIT THE OVERALL FLASH FLOOD
THREAT, ISOLATED HIGHER RAINFALL TOTALS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE,
PARTICULARLY FOR PORTIONS OF THE WESTERN BRUSH COUNTRY AND ADJACENT
INLAND AREAS.
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO IMPROVE RAPIDLY AFTER SUNRISE THIS
MORNING AS THE COLD FRONT PUSHES OFFSHORE AND DRIER AIR FILTERS INTO
THE REGION. NORTH-NORTHEASTERLY WINDS AND WEAK CAA WILL KEEP
TEMPERATURES ON THE MILD SIDE TODAY AND TUESDAY, WITH HIGHS
GENERALLY IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S AND OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE UPPER
60S TO LOW 70S. DRY AND WARM CONDITIONS ARE THEN EXPECTED THROUGH
THE REMAINDER OF THE WORK WEEK AS RIDGING STRENGTHENS OVER THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS AND WESTERN GULF COAST. RAIN CHANCES WILL REMAIN
BELOW 10% THROUGH AT LEAST SATURDAY.
