LOWER CONVECTIVE TEMPS. ALSO SEEING MORE SEABREEZE BOUNDARY
ACTIVITY WITH DEVELOPMENT OF LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLIES. TRUE INLAND

SYNOPTIC ANALYSIS CONTINUING TO SHOW AREA UNDER WEAK MID/UPPER LEVEL
RIDGING BETWEEN EAST COAST TROF AND CUT-OFF LOW SPINNING OVER NORTH
TEXAS/OKLAHOMA. LATEST GFS RUN WHICH HAS BEEN FAIRLY CONSISTENT
WITH OVERALL PATTERN LAST FEW DAYS SUGGESTING AT LEAST ONE MORE
DAY OF GOOD RAIN CHANCES BEFORE SOME DRIER AIR ALOFT IS PULLED IN
FROM TEXAS LOW.
