PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 347 AM CDT MON JUL 2 2007/

DISCUSSION...
WITH SOME EXPANSION OF THE UPPER HIGH AND BUILDING HEIGHTS ALOFT
OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS...THE WEAK UPPER LOW IS STARTING TO MOVE
BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST ACROSS OKLAHOMA. WITH ITS APPROACH...WIDELY
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED SOUTH
OF THE RED RIVER ACROSS PARTS OF NORTH TEXAS. SOME OF THESE WILL
AFFECT THE BIG COUNTRY EARLY THIS MORNING.

THE MODEL TRENDS INDICATE THAT THE WEAK UPPER LOW WILL DROP
SOUTH OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...BUT ALONG A TRACK FARTHER
TO THE EAST THAN EARLIER INDICATED. IN ADDITION...THE WEAK SHEAR
AXIS ALOFT WILL NOT SHIFT AS FAR TO THE WEST. WITH THIS
PLACEMENT...THE CHANCE AND COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS MAY
NOT BE AS MUCH AS PREVIOUSLY ANTICIPATED. DEEP MOISTURE WILL BE
IN PLACE BY TONIGHT AND TUESDAY HOWEVER...WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES OF 1.5 TO 2 INCHES AND 850 MB DEWPOINTS IN THE MID-TEENS.

HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES WILL BE FOCUSED ACROSS NORTHEASTERN PART OF
WEST CENTRAL TEXAS TODAY. GIVEN THE SYSTEM TRACK THE RAIN CHANCE
WILL INCREASE AREAWIDE TONIGHT AND TUESDAY. BELIEVE OUR AREA WILL
SEE AT LEAST SCATTERED COVERAGE (AND NUMEROUS AT TIMES) FROM
TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. WHETHER THE LARGE CONVECTIVE CLUSTER OVER
SOUTHEASTERN TEXAS WILL HAVE A DECLINING INFLUENCE ON COVERAGE IN
OUR AREA IS UNCERTAIN AT THIS POINT. WITH THE AIRMASS BECOMING VERY
MOIST AND RELATIVELY SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE CONVECTION EXPECTED...
LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WOULD BE A GOOD BET. ADDED A MENTION OF THIS
TO THE FORECAST.

WAS ON THE FENCE AS TO WHETHER TO ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH YET IN
OUR AREA. TO BLEND IN WITH THE PLANS OF SURROUNDING OFFICES AND
WITH THE BIG COUNTRY EXPECTED TO BE THE FIRST TO EXPERIENCE THE
HEAVY RAINFALL HOWEVER...WE HAVE DECIDED TO ISSUE IT FOR THAT
AREA. THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL BE IN EFFECT FOR TODAY AND
TONIGHT. GIVEN THE PRECEDING CONDITIONS...WOULD NOT TAKE MUCH
ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL TO START THE FLOODING AGAIN. WE WILL
MONITOR HOW THIS SITUATION UNFOLDS...AND MAY BE EXPANDING THE
FLASH FLOOD WATCH FARTHER TO THE SOUTH LATER TODAY OR TONIGHT.

CARRYING THE CHANCE POPS THROUGH THURSDAY ACROSS OUR AREA. EVEN
THOUGH WHAT/S LEFT OF THE UPPER LOW WILL BE REMOVED AND PROBABLY
SOUTH OF THE RIO GRANDE IN MEXICO BY THAT TIME...THE SHEAR AXIS
WILL BE POSITIONED ACROSS OUR AREA WITH A SOUTHEASTERLY LOW-LEVEL
FLOW AND MOISTURE FEED FROM THE GULF. THE INCREASED PRESENCE OF
CLOUDS AND PROSPECTS FOR RAIN WILL HELP TO KEEP TEMPERATURES
BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THIS WORK WEEK.

RAIN CHANCES DECREASE FRIDAY AS HEIGHTS START TO BUILD SLIGHTLY
ALOFT. MAY SEE A DRY NEXT WEEKEND...AND THE PATTERN INDICATES A
GRADUAL WARMING TREND IN TEMPERATURES.
