...AVIATION DISCUSSION...
DRY SLOT WORKING INTO WESTERN N TEXAS LATE THIS MORNING SO AIRPORTS
WILL LIKELY SEE A LIMITED BREAK IN PCPN/THUNDER FOR A COUPLE OF
HOURS. STILL...NEW DEVELOPMENT ALREADY OCCURRING IN THE SLOT AS
ATMOSPHERE QUICKLY RECOVERS. BELIEVE BEST CHANCES FOR THUNDER WILL
BE EARLY AFTN TO EARLY EVENING...SO WILL LIMIT TS TO THOSE PERIODS.
STILL...EMBEDDED THUNDER COULD LINGER AFTER 02Z. WINDS WILL BECOME
MORE NE AND THEN N THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS SURFACE LOW BEGINS
TO SWEEP THROUGH. 80

VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THAT CLEARING IS OCCURRING
UNDERNEATH DRY SLOT ACROSS SOUTHWEST TEXAS...WITH SOME BREAKS IN THE
LOW CLOUDS EVEN MAKING IT INTO THE SOUTHWEST PORTION OF THE CWA.
CURRENT THINKING IS THAT ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WILL DEVELOP IN THE DRY SLOT REGION AND MOVE ACROSS THE AREA LATER
THIS AFTERNOON...SO WILL BASICALLY LEAVE CURRENT FORECAST WORDING
UNCHANGED.  OTHER THAN REMOVING THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH AND
TWEAKING WINDS AND TEMPS...NO MAJOR CHANGES ARE PLANNED.
