.DISCUSSION...

ANOTHER VERY HOT AFTERNOON WITH WIDELY SCATTERED ACTIVITY OVER
SOUTHWESTERN CWA...TO ISOLATED ACTIVITY CENTRAL SECTIONS...TO NO
ACTION OVER NORTHEASTERN SECTIONS. WATER VAPOR SHOWING THIS MID
LEVEL DRY AIR INTRUSION MOVING DOWN OVER AREA FROM THE NORTHEAST
LIKEWISE EVIDENT TO THIS AFTERNOONS STORM COVERAGE PATTERN.

IN THE NEAR TERM...AS THIS DRY AIR WORKS SOUTHWEST INTO TEXAS AND
WESTERN GULF POPS FOR TOMORROW AND WEDNESDAY LOOK QUITE BLEAK.
HOWEVER...BY THURSDAY A GOOD EASTERLY WAVE WILL PUSH IN BEHIND TO
FILL THE VOID. THIS SHOULD BE A GOOD SCENARIO FOR SEA BREEZE PUSH
INTO THE I-20 CORRIDOR OR EVEN FARTHER. GFS SHOWS THIS FEATURE
QUITE WELL RIGHT OVER THE CWA BY 00Z FRIDAY. BEYOND THAT THE SEA
BREEZE LIKELY TO BE LESS EFFECTIVE OVER AREA ON FRIDAY
AFTERNOON...BUT LEFT IN SLIGHT CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON HEAT AND
WEAKER RIDGE.

FOR THE WEEKEND...A SHORT WAVE TROUGH TO THE NORTH WILL NUDGE DOWN
BEHIND THE EASTERLY WAVE...THIS FEATURE LIKE WISE REFLECTED WELL ON
GFS. BOTH DAYS HAVE BLANKET 20 POPS AS SHORT WAVE SHOULD HELP OUT
WITH IF NOTHING ELSE A FRESH SET OF OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES.
