.DISCUSSION...SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE ACROSS
PORTIONS OF THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY AT TIMES TODAY AS THE PERSISTENT
UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LOCATED OVER CENTRAL TEXAS MAINTAINS
A MOIST ATMOSPHERE ACROSS THE AREA. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL BE IN
EFFECT AGAIN TODAY, THROUGH MIDNIGHT THURSDAY NIGHT AS THERE IS A
CONTINUED CHANCE FOR LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL OVER AREAS WHERE THE
SOIL IS SATURATED FROM THE RECENT RAINS THAT HAVE PLAGUED DEEP SOUTH
TEXAS THIS WEEK. THEREFORE ANY ADDITIONAL RAINFALL FALLING OVER THE
ALREADY SATURATED GROUND MAY PRODUCE ADDITIONAL FLOODING. DRIER
CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL DEEP SOUTH TEXAS FRIDAY THROUGH EARLY NEXT
WEEK.

THE WINDS WILL REMAIN SOUTHEASTERLY THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD
AS THE WEAK SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE PERSISTS OVER THE GULF OF
MEXICO. THE WINDS WILL INCREASE DURING THE AFTERNOONS AND EARLY
EVENINGS BECOMING MODERATE THEN DECREASE DURING THE OVERNIGHT
PERIODS BECOMING LIGHT TO LIGHT AND VARIABLE THROUGH EARLY NEXT
WEEK. THE TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN NEAR NORMAL TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE
NORMAL THROUGH THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.

AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LOCATED OVER SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS

MARINE CONVECTION EARLY THIS MORNING. THE LATEST GWW GUIDANCE
MAINTAINS CONDITIONS GENERALLY BELOW SCA LEVELS THROUGH WED OF NEXT
WEEK WITH LIGHT TO MODERATE SOUTHEAST SURFACE FLOW EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE. THIS OVERALL TREND LOOKS REASONABLE.

.AVIATION...THE DEVELOPING AREA OF CONVECTION AFFECTING THE COASTAL
COUNTIES OF CAMERON...WILLACY AND KENEDY WILL LIKELY MAINTAIN
UNSETTLED CEILINGS AND VSBYS FROM THE BRO AND HRL AREA OVER THE NEXT
SEVERAL HOURS.  AS THIS AREA PROGRESSES SLOWLY EASTWARD...THE LOWER
RGV AIRPORTS WILL THEN RECEIVE A BREAK FROM THE CONV.
HOWEVER...DIURNAL HEATING LATER TODAY IN COMBINATION WITH THE UVV
PROVIDED BY THE PERSISTENT AND BROAD 500 MB LOW POSITIONED OVER
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN TX WILL ALLOW CONV TO REGENERATE LATER TODAY.
SO WILL INCLUDE THIS IN THE CURRENT TAF PACKAGE.
