245 PM CDT FRI AUG 23 2002

RIDGE BUILDING WEST OF THE REGION...WILL ALSO RETREAT INTO THE
DESERT SW. THE RETREAT WILL ALLOW NW FLOW TO BEGIN SPILLING INTO
AREA THIS WEEKEND...WHILE THE BUILDING MAY IMPACT A DRYING INFLUENCE
ON AT LEAST EAST TX PORTIONS OF THE REGION. SOLUTIONS HAVE UNDERGONE
SOME CHANGE DURING LAST COUPLE OF RUNS. MAV GUIDANCE APPEARS MOST
REASONABLE...INCREASING POPS AND MIRRORING A SLIGHT COOLING ON
SUNDAY. INITIAL SURGE OF NW FLOW WILL BRING A WEAK UPPER LEVEL WAVE
INTO SW AR/NE LA. WILL GO SCATTERED POPS SATURDAY AFTERNOON THOSE
PORTIONS...ISOLATED ELSEWHERE...INCLUDING A DECREASE IN SEA BREEZE
ACTIVITY. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL DROP INTO CENTRAL OK SATURDAY
AFTERNOON...MCS DEVELOPMENT MAY OCCUR IN UPSLOPE FLOW BEHIND FRONT.
STRONGER SHORT WAVE DROPPING INTO AREA ON SUNDAY...AND OVERNIGHT
TSTMS POSSIBLE NORTH OF RED RIVER SATURDAY NIGHT. NORTH AND EAST
SECTIONS WILL HAVE HIGHER POPS ON SUNDAY...AND MORE FAVORABLE
DYNAMICS AS MID LEVEL WINDS INCREASE...AND SHIFT FROM NW TO NORTH.
FURTHER WEST...UNCERTAINTY LIES IN WHETHER POSSIBLE MCS TO THE
NORTH EMITS A LARGE SCALE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY TOWARDS NE TX. EVEN SO...
COOLING IN MID LEVEL NOT AS SIGNIFICANT ACROSS THAT REGION. OTHER
NEW DEVELOPMENT IS THAT THESE FEATURES MAY BECOME RATHER TRANSIENT...
AND LEAVE DRYING TREND FOR FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK. WILL BACK OFF
MONDAY TO SLIGHT CHANCE...AND TAKE OUT MENTION ON TUESDAY.
