.SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY)...ADDITIONAL TSRAS EXPECTED
TODAY THRU SUNDAY AS THE UPPER LONG WAVE TROF CONTINUES TO EJECT
EMBEDDED SHORT WAVES ACROSS TX IN SW FLOW ALOFT AND COMBINE WITH
ABUNDANT MOISTURE TO PRODUCE TSRAS ACROSS THE CWA THRU THE HOLIDAY
WEEKEND.

ARE EXPECTED TO REACH THE W CWA LATER THIS MORNING. A SHORT WAVE
SEEN ON WV IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION TODAY AS IS PROGD
BY THE MODELS. THIS WILL COMBINE WITH ABUNDANT MOISTURE IN PLACE
ACROSS THE REGION AND IS EXPECTED TO RESULT IN WIDESPREAD TSRAS
WITH HEAVY RAINFALL BY AFTERNOON. MODELS DIFFER ON WHETHER TODAY OR
SUNDAY WILL SEE THE HIGHER POPS/QPF...BUT GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF
MOISTURE IN PLACE AND THE SHORT WAVES IN UPPER FLOW...AM EXPECTING
BOTH DAYS TO BE WET. AM THINKING THAT THERE WILL BE A LULL LATE
TONIGHT AFTER SUNSET WITH ACTIVITY INCREASING ONCE AGAIN TOWARD

GOING IN THE 06-12Z TIME FRAME FEEL IT WILL BE GENERALLY AFTER 09Z.

TODAY...FLOODING WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY MORE LIKELY...THEREFORE
WILL CONTINUE THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. THE FFA
MAY BE EXTENDED INTO SUNDAY BUT WILL LET THE DAY SHIFT LOOK AT
LATEST TRENDS/MODELS TO MAKE THAT DECISION.
TEMPS WILL BE BELOW NORM GIVEN THE ABUNDANT MOISTURE/RAIN COOLED
AIRMASS.

OF SHORT WAVES COMBINING WITH ABUNDANT MOISTURE TO PRODUCE SCT TO

BE TRICKY BUT AM EXPECTING THE BEST CHCS TO BE THIS AFTERNOON AND
AGAIN DURING THE DAY SUNDAY WITH A LULL OVRNITE TONIGHT.
