TROPICAL AIRMASS REMAINS IN PLACE WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE
70S...BOUNDARIES GALORE...THE SEMI-PERMANENT SHEAR AXIS JUST EAST OF
ABI...AN UPPER LOW OVER NM...UPPER DIFFLUENT AREA OVER MOST OF WEST
TX.  ALL SPELL CONTINUED CHANCES FOR RAIN.

SHEAR AXIS HAS GONE THROUGH ITS NIGHTTIME FLARE UP OVER OUR
NORTHEASTERN COUNTIES...WITH BROWN COUNTY THE TX RAINFALL WINNER
WITH OVER 5-6 INCHES OF RAIN. ACTIVE FLOODING AND RESCUES OCCURRING
AT THIS TIME IN BROWN AND COLEMAN COUNTIES.  THIS FEATURE SHOULD BE
THE FOCUS FOR TSTMS ACROSS THE EASTERN BIG COUNTRY...AND SINCE THE
SYSTEM HAS MOVED A BIT FURTHER NORTH...WILL SHIFT THE FOCUS OF THE
FLASH FLOOD WATCH FURTHER NORTH.  PLAN ON TAKING OUR SOUTHEASTERN
COUNTIES OUT OF THE FF WATCH.  THO IF TSTMS BUILD THIS
AFTERNOON...FLOOD WARNINGS WILL BE NEEDED.

NO BIG CHANCES OVER THE WEEKEND AS RAIN CHANCES ABOUND.  WILL
KEEP LOWEST POPS IN OUR SOUTHWESTERN COUNTIES...WHERE UNFORTUNATELY
LITTLE BENEFICIAL RAIN HAS FALLEN THIS WEEK DESPITE THE ATYPICAL WET
ENVIRONMENT.  IN GENERAL LOWER POPS FOR SOUTH AS SHEAR AXIS AND NM
LOW ENERGY WILL FOCUS BEST RAIN CHANCES IN OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES.

MRF STILL HOLDING FIRM ON PATTERN WITH SFC HIGH OVER THE ROCKIES AND
DECENT RAIN CHANCES THROUGH MON/TUE.  WILL CONTINUE TO SHOW SLOW
DRYING...BY THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD...MUCH MORE TYPICAL
