DEEP SOUTH TEXAS FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BROWNSVILLE TX
215 PM CDT MON JUN 15 1998

HEAT PROBABLY THE BIG STORY THIS AFTERNOON...AGAIN...AS OTHERWISE
NOT A LOT GOING ON ACROSS THE AREA...OR MOST OF THE U.S FOR THAT
MATTER. SOME FESTIVITIES OCCURRING OVER SOUTH CENTRAL INTO SOUTHEAST
TEXAS WITH THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX MOVING NORTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA.
HOWEVER HERE IN DEEP SOUTH TEXAS JUST HOT AND WINDY. WE HAVE
ALREADY SURPASSED THE RECORD HIGH FOR TODAY (99)...JUST REMAINS TO
BE SEEN BY HOW MUCH (CURRENTLY 100). SOUTH WINDS WHIPPING ACROSS
EASTERN AREAS WITH GUSTS TO NEAR 35 KT RECORDED AT BRO. MORNING
MODEL RUNS NOT SHOWING MUCH TO WRITE HOME ABOUT AS NO BIG CHANGES
ARE PROGNOSTICATED. HOWEVER...DOES APPEAR WE WILL GET A RESPITE
TOMORROW FROM THE EXTREME HEAT AS SURFACE HIGH BUILDS WEST FROM THE
GULF AND BRINGS WINDS AROUND MORE SOUTHEASTERLY. NEAR ZONAL FLOW
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CONTERMINOUS U.S. CONTINUES
TOMORROW...THEN UPPER PATTERN BECOMES A BIT MORE BLOCKY AS GULF
RIDGE BUILDS ONCE AGAIN WESTWARD ACROSS TEXAS AND NORTHWARD INTO
THE PLAINS. TROF/DRYLINE REGIME TO OUR WEST NOT APPEARING TO BE
MAKING AS MUCH PROGRESS EAST AS YESTERDAY AS LOW-LEVEL WINDS NOT AS
FAVORABLE WITH MORE OF A SOUTHERLY DIRECTION TODAY. THESE FEATURES
PROGGED TO LIFT OUT TONIGHT AND WE RETURN TO MORE OF A
SOUTHEASTERLY SURFACE FLOW. SO WE COOL A BIT TOMORROW FROM HEAT OF
YESTERDAY AND TODAY...THEN BUMP UP A BIT AGAIN WEDNESDAY AS UPPER
RIDGE BUILDS.

ON THE COASTAL WATERS...CAN PROBABLY DROP SCA FOR THE
OVERNIGHT...AND EXPECTING WINDS TO BE A BIT LESS TOMORROW...SO CAN
GO WITHOUT. CURRENTLY BOUY B42020 SHOWING WINDS BELOW CRITERIA AND
SEAS 5 FT.

FORECAST:
TONIGHT...PARTLY CLOUDY. LOWS AROUND 80. S WINDS 10 TO 15 MPH
BECOMING SOUTHEAST LATE.
