STILL RIDING WITH THE AVN AS MODEL OF CHOICE AS IT HAS BEEN THE
BETTER PERFORMER OF LATE. THE MAIN TREND WILL BE TO INCREASE POPS BY
10 PERCENT TOMORROW AND SUNDAY BUT MAINTAIN SCATTERED POPS. THIS IS
TYPICAL OF THE SEASON ALONG WITH CLIMO TEMPS.

THE MAIN DRIVING FEATURES CONTINUE TO BE THE PERSISTENT UPPER LEVEL
LOW OVER THE OZARKS WHICH DRIFTS SOUTHWARD INTO THE EAST TEXAS
REGION OVER THE WEEKEND. AN OPEN GULF FLOW SHOULD MAINTAIN
CLIMATOLOGICAL CONDITIONS THROUGH THE EXTENDED PERIOD.
