DISCUSSION...
RAIN CHANCES HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED FOR SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS
FOR TODAY COMPARED TO EARLIER FORECASTS. DERECHO PLUNGING SOUTH
ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TO NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS. OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM
MCS THAT MOVED OFF THE CENTRAL GULF COAST TUESDAY IS MOVING WEST
ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN TEXAS. WEAK INVERTED TROUGH OVER NORTHERN
MEXICO. AREA NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RADARS SHOW SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ALREADY FORMING ACROSS THE RIO GRANDE PLAINS AND
WESTERN HILL COUNTRY. AIRMASS IS MOIST WITH PWS AROUND TWO INCHES,
UNSTABLE WITH LI-S OF -7 TO -9 C AND CAPES OF 2K TO 3K J/KG, AND
INCREASINGLY UNCAPPED WITH CINH FALLING UNDER 10 J/KG. UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF THE ABOVE FEATURES, EXPECT SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS
TODAY. WILL MENTION LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL FOR TODAY. MAY HAVE TO
ADD MENTION OF SEVERE IF CONVECTIVE PARAMETERS CONTINUE THEIR
TRENDS OF BECOMING MORE POTENT. AFTER TODAY, SUBTROPICAL RIDGE
TRIES TO ASSERT ITSELF WITH SUBSIDENCE INCREASING AND MOISTURE
SLOWLY DECREASING. THE MEXICAN INVERTED TROUGH AND RESIDUAL
BOUNDARIES WILL PERSIST INTO THURSDAY MAKING FOR SLIGHT CHANCE
POPS ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS. AIRMASS DRIES OUT ENOUGH
FOR NO POPS FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY, ALTHOUGH CANNOT RULE OUT AN
ISOLATED SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM IN THE LATE AFTERNOON EACH DAY.
SOME MODELS WANT TO RETAIN A WEAKNESS IN THE RIDGE OR EVEN THE
MEXICAN INVERTED TROUGH AND SHOULD THEY VERIFY, THEN POPS MAY HAVE
TO BE INTRODUCED FOR PARTS OF THAT PERIOD. AN EASTERLY WAVE MOVES
ACROSS SOUTHERN TEXAS LEADING TO SLIGHT CHANCE TO LOW END CHANCE
POPS TUESDAY INTO NEXT WEDNESDAY. HAVE GENERALLY GONE WITH MEX
GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES THE TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY.
