.UPDATE...

THE RIO GRANDE CLUSTER WILL BE SUSTAINED OVERNIGHT. AS A RESULT,

HEAVY RAINS. OTHERWISE, ONGOING FORECASTS GENERALLY ON TRACK WITH
ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS NEEDED.

AVIATION...
THE MOST IMMEDIATE CONCERN IS THE AREA OF TS WEST OF DRT. THESE
STORMS ARE HAVING A HARD TIME MOVING TOWARD THE BORDER...BUT
THERE WILL BE SOME LIGHTNING AND A GOOD CHANCE FOR RAIN AT DRT
UNTIL AROUND 04Z. THERE IS A CHANCE FOR TS AT AUS AND HYI LATER
TONIGHT BETWEEN 07 AND O9Z. OTHERWISE CIGS AT THE I-35 AIRPORTS
WILL DROP DOWN TO MVFR AFTER 09Z.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 339 PM CDT MON MAY 21 2007/

DISCUSSION...
LATE AFTERNOON HEATING, MID LEVEL COOLING AND THE WEST TEXAS DRY
LINE WILL BE THE BREEDING GROUNDS FOR STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SOME MAY MOVE ACROSS
THE EDWARDS PLATEAU, PER SPC DISCUSSION. OTHERWISE, THE SPRING
TRANSITION CONTINUES. THE WESTERLIES CONTINUE TO SEND LONG WAVE
TROUGHS ACROSS THE U.S. BUT THEY ARE NOT REACHING AS FAR SOUTH AS
BEFORE. ALSO THE UPPER RIDGE IS BEGINNING TO NUDGE WESTWARD INTO
TEXAS, RESULTING IN A SWITCH FROM CONTINENTAL AIR TO TROPICAL AIR.
THE PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED WEAK COLD FRONT DUE TO ENTER THE HILL
COUNTRY THURSDAY IS NOW NOT GOING TO MAKE IT THAT FAR SOUTH. BY
FRIDAY THE UPPER HIGH IS PROGGED TO HAVE A GOOD HOLD ACROSS THE
EASTERN 2/3RD OF THE U.S. WITH ATMOSPHERIC WINDS FROM THE EAST
AND SOUTHEAST. THIS WOULD SEND A TROPICAL AIRMASS ACROSS SOUTH
CENTRAL TEXAS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WITH NOCTURNAL AND SEABREEZE
SHOWERS. THE TROPICAL TAP SHUTS OFF SUNDAY WITH MAX TEMPS
RETURNING TO NORMAL LEVELS OF NEAR 90. HOWEVER, IF THE TROPICAL
TAP DOES NOT DEVELOP, CLOUD COVER/SHOWERS WILL BE SEVERELY LIMITED AND
TEMPS WILL RETURN TO ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS.

POP-WISE, SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN IN THE PICTURE
OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS DUE TO MINOR DISTURBANCES TRAVERSING
THE REGION THROUGH THURSDAY. THEN A SWITCH TO TROPICAL SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS AFFECTING THE EASTERN HALF LATER IN THE WEEK. BY
WEEKS END, SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL BE LIMITED BY
LOWERING P.W.S AND LACK OF SURFACE BASED FOCUS.
