The 07Z surface analysis shows a stationary front across the southern Edwards Plateau and the Hill Country
 with a low pressure system to the southwest of Val Verde County. Another stationary front is analyzed from
 the Texas panhandle to the south and into the northern part of Val Verde County. The latter frontal boundary
 is forecast to slowly advance to the east-southeast overnight and Friday. Scattered to numerous showers and
 thunderstorms are forecast ahead and along the front through the period. Some strong to marginally 
severe thunderstorms are possible across the southern Edwards Plateau mid to late Friday morning and 
over parts of the Hill Country and areas along and east of Highway 77 in the afternoon and evening 
as the front pushes into east Texas. The main weather hazards are large hail and damaging wind gusts. 
The convective activity should stay isolated due to lack of large scale support, but there is enough 
shear in place for rotating cells and therefore, cant rule out an isolated tornado. Also, winds are 
forecast to increase within the boundary layer mid to late Friday morning with pwats between 
1.6 to 1.7 inches which could result in pockets of heavy rain. The threat for heavy pockets of 
rain continues in the afternoon mainly across the Hill County and along and east of Highway 77 
as the frontal boundary slows down is eastward progression with pwats ranging from 1.6 to 1.8 
inches based of GFS and RAP forecast soundings.

With cloudy skies taking over the local area for most of the day, high temperatures 
are forecast to range from the upper 60s across the Hill Country to mid and upper 80s 
across the coastal Plains. By this evening, the frontal boundary is likely to be 
exiting our local area. However, an upper level southwest flow is still through 
the overnight hours as an upper level low pressure system pushes into the central 
Plains resulting in isolated to low end chances for showers and storms across portions 
of the eastern counties of south central Texas. Overnight lows are forecast to range 
from the mid 40s over the northern part of Val Verde to lower 60s along the coastal Plains.

Saturday should stay dry for the most part with early clouds across the coastal Plains 
and then dissipating during the afternoon for mostly sunny skies. Highs are forecast to 
reach the lower to upper 70s and even lower 80s over portions of the coastal Plains.
