225 PM CDT THU AUG 19 2004

.SHORT TERM...WET WEATHER TENDS TO PRODUCE MORE WET WEATHER...AND
THIS SUMMER HAS CERTAINLY BACKED UP THAT CONCEPT...SOME
AMAZING 24 HOUR RAIN TOTALS OVER PORTIONS OF WEST CENTRAL TEXAS...
WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS ACROSS NORTHERN BROWN COUNTY WITH 8 TO 10
INCHES RAIN PERSISTED OVER OUR EASTERN COUNTIES TILL NOON.  WITH
SOME SUN TODAY...SOUTHERN COUNTIES WILL GET INTO THE 90S...A RARE
EVEN SO FAR THIS AUGUST.  CU FIELD AND A FEW SHOWERS HAVE ALREDY
FORMED EARLY THIS AFTERNOON.

CLOUDS AND RAIN CHANCES DONT GO AWAY...AS IMPULSE AFTER IMPULSE
PRODUCES POSSIBILITIES...MAINLY ACROSS THE BIG COUNTRY.  FOR
TONIGHT RAIN PUSHES SOUTH OF THE RED RIVER AHEAD OF NEXT COLD
FRONT. SHOULD BE ANOTHER WET NIGHT NORTH OF I-20.  GFS/MAV
PERFORMANCE HAS NOT HANDLED POPS VERY WELL THIS PAST WEEK...SO WILL
LEAN TOWARDS THE WETTER ETA.

TOYED WITH ISSUING A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE BIG COUNTRY FOR
TONIGHT...SINCE MOST OF THE AREA GOT GOOD RAINS PAST 24 HOURS. THE
MORE I THINK ABOUT IT...IT IS PROABABLY BETTER TO ERR ON THE SIDE OF
CAUTION SO WILL GO AHEAD AND ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR ABOUT
THE NORTHERN HALF OF OUR CWA...WATCH WILL GO IN EFFECT AT 4 PM TILL 7
AM.

&&

.LONG TERM...RAIN CHANCES JUST STICK AROUND AS WEAK NORTHWEST FLOW
PUSHES IMPULSES OUR WAY...ONE WAVE TOMORROW NIGHT ONCE AGAIN IMPACTS
THE BIG COUNTRY. CANT RULE OUT RAIN THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

SPC PLACES MOST OF OUR AREA UNDER A SLIGHT RISK FOR SVR ON FRIDAY...
FOR THE AREAS OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT...DYNAMICS ARE THERE WITH CAPE
AND SHEAR...AND NUMEROUS BOUNDAIRES...HOWEVER...AT THIS POINT WILL
NOT MENTION SEVERE IN THE FORECAST...AGAIN POPS WILL BE HIGHER THAN
GFS MOS.

WILL NO TOUCH EXTENDED...FOR NOW WILL CONTINUE BELOW NORMAL
HIGH TEMPS...ALTHOUGH EVENTUALLY UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD ACROSS OUR
AREA AND PRODUCE MORE TYPICAL WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS...BUT AT THIS
POINT IT WILL BE NEAR THE END OF THE MONTH BEFORE THAT CAN HAPPEN.

HOW COOL HAS THIS SUMMER BEEN?  AVERAGE SUMMER TEMPERATURES FOR THE
JUNE-JULY-AUGUST PERIOD CURRENTLY HAS 2004 AS THE THIRD COOLEST
SUMMER ON RECORD FOR ABILENE AND THE 14TH COOLEST ON RECORD FOR SAN
