ZONES EARLY ALREADY. STILL LOOKS LIKE THE LINGERING BOUNDARY OVER THE
NORTHERN GULF WILL MOVE INLAND THROUGH THE DAY. IN THE MEANTIME...
LIGHT SOUTHERLY WINDS CONTINUE AROUND THE CWA...WITH DEWPOINTS NEAR
70 AT MOST SITES. LOOKING FOR TYPICAL DIURNAL ACTIVITY TO DEVELOP BY EARLY
AFTERNOON. SOUNDINGS SHOW GOOD LAPSE RATES FROM 850-700 MB. OF COURSE
MOISTURE IS BETTER SOUTH...BUT PW VALUES AROUND JAN WERE STILL ABOUT
1.5IN. WILL CONTINUE ISOLATED SEVERE WORDING IN THE HWO FOR THE
ENTIRE AREA...THERE WAS THE POTENTIAL FOR MICROBURST ACTIVITY IN ALL
QUADS...SLIGHTLY LOWER TO THE NORTHWEST WHERE MOISTURE MAY BE A
LITTLE LESS. WITH ALL OF THE SAID...DID NOT MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO
THE CURRENT FORECAST. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED POPS WERE GOOD. TEMPS
WERE OK.
