1008 AM CDT THU JUN 24 2004

WILL RETAIN SCATTERED CONVECTION ACROSS THE NEARSHORE/OFFSHORE
WATERS AS LARGE CONVECTIVE COMPLEX AND ASSOCIATED FORCING CONTINUES.
WILL DROP SCEC OVER THESE AREAS AS HIGHER WIND SPEEDS ARE THE RESULT
OF CONVECTIVE WIND GUSTS REACHING 30 KNOTS AT TIMES. ANOTHER
CYCLONIC SHEAR AXIS ACROSS MEXICO WILL ADVANCE ACROSS THE CWA THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING. A VORTICITY MAXIMUM PER WATER VAPOR IMAGERY WAS
ABOUT 75 MILES WEST OF MONCLOVA MEXICO AND WILL MOVE EAST INTO DEEP
SOUTH TEXAS. STRONG DIFFLUENCE WILL EXIST ACROSS THE REGION AS THE
NOSE OF THE 250HPA JETMAX APPROACHES. DIABATIC HEATING WILL CREATE A
MODERATELY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE DURING THE AFTERNOON. EXPECT ANOTHER
CONVERGENCE ZONE LATER IN THE AFTERNOON AS A SEABREEZE DEVELOPS AND
MEETS WITH THE WESTERLY WIND ACROSS THE INTERIOR. HOWEVER...INITIAL
SUBSIDENCE WEST OF GLFMEX CONVECTIVE COMPLEX AND THE VORTICITY
MAXIMUM REMAINING SOUTH OF THE REGION...WILL INDICATE JUST CHANCE
POPS AND SHADE THEM TOWARD THE LOWER END WITH THE ACTIVITY BEGINNING
AROUND MID AFTERNOON. WILL INDICATE PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES INITIALLY
THEM BECOMING MOSTLY CLOUDY LATE IN THE DAY. MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES
APPEAR OKAY BUT WILL ADJUST WINDS.
