EWX - Austin/San Antonio, TX - National Weather Service
NOAA National Weather Service
forecast.weather.govI don’t have live browsing capabilities right now, but I can summarize how to find the latest information from the National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio office (EWX) and what to look for.
What to check for the latest news from NWS Austin/San Antonio
- Official NWS page for EWX: This is your primary source for current watches, warnings, and short-term forecast discussions. Look for the homepage banners about any active flood watches, flash flood warnings, severe weather alerts, or tropical storm updates. The site often features a “Forecast Discussion” that explains short-term storm chances and expected rainfall amounts.
- Local statements and forecast discussions: The Area Forecast Discussion (AFD) and Public Information Statements (PNS) provide detailed reasoning about ongoing weather events, rainfall totals, storm timing, and potential flooding.
- Severe Weather Warnings and Watches: Check for any active Severe Thunderstorm Watches/Warnings, Flood Watches/Warnings, and Heat Advisories or Excessive Heat Warnings if relevant to the current pattern.
- Rainfall and flood guidance: If heavy rainfall is ongoing, look for Flood Watch or Flood Warning statuses and estimated rainfall totals (inches) for different counties along I-35, the Hill Country, and the Coastal Plains.
- Social updates: NWS San Antonio’s official social channels (e.g., X/formerly Twitter) commonly post real-time updates, radar-driven alerts, and quick briefings. These are useful for rapid developments between page updates.
If you’d like, I can:
- Compile a current snapshot by pulling the latest public statements and summarize the key advisories (timing, affected counties, rainfall estimates).
- Create a simple digest with the top 3 imminent risks (e.g., flood threat, severe storms, heat) and recommended actions for residents in the Austin/San Antonio area.
Would you like me to produce a concise update based on the most recent publicly available information I can access, including links to the official NWS pages? If you have specific counties or towns in mind (e.g., Travis, Hays, Bexar), tell me and I’ll tailor the briefing.
