ALONG RIO GRANDE AND SURFACE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DECOUPLE
ENOUGH TOWARD MORNING...SO WIND SHEAR MAINTAINED AT KCRP...KALI

ABOUT 30 KNOTS AT 1000FT...NOT SUFFICIENT TO MENTION WIND SHEAR AT
THIS TIME. CONCERNING MVFR CONDITIONS...CLOUDS SHOWING UP NOW
GENERALLY ABOVE 3000 FEET (NO CIGS) SO CONFIDENCE IS NOT AS HIGH AS
EARLIER IN MVFR CONDITIONS. STILL...WILL GO WITH TEMPO MVFR
BETWEEN 10Z-14Z NEAR AND EAST OF HIGHWAY 281 FOR CIGS ABT 1200

LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR MAY BE AN ISSUE IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS AS
WINDS JUST OFF THE SURFACE ARE DECOUPLED...BUT MIXING AFTER SUNRISE
SHOULD BRING THAT THREAT TO AN END. WINDS WILL PICK UP SIGNIFICANTLY
IN ALL LOCATIONS BY THE AFTERNOON AND BECOME QUITE GUSTY.

CWFA FRIDAY AFTN. WL ISSUE A FIRE DANGER STATEMENT FOR LASALLE AND
WEBB COUNTIES FOR FRIDAY AFTN.
LONG TERM (SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...FOR THE MOST PART, WEATHER
OVER SOUTH TEXAS THROUGHOUT THE EXTENDED PERIOD WILL BE INFLUENCED
BY A BROAD UPPER TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN U.S. A SERIES OF SMALLER
TROUGHS WILL MOVE THROUGH THE BASE OF THE BROADER TROUGH AND GO BY
TO OUR NORTH ACROSS NORTH TEXAS. THE FIRST TROUGH WILL PASS MONDAY
NIGHT AND THE SECOND WILL BE ON WEDNESDAY. A WEAK FRONT ASSOCIATED
WITH THE FIRST TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO STALL IN THE VICINITY OF
CENTRAL TEXAS WITH LITTLE EFFECT ON THE FORECAST AREA. SLIGHT
CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION IN THE FORECASTS FOR MONDAY WILL ACTUALLY
BE DUE TO UPPER DYNAMICS CONNECTED TO THE SOUTHERN EXTENT OF THE
FIRST UPPER TROUGH PASSING BY TO OUR NORTH. A STRONGER FRONT
ASSOCIATED WITH THE SECOND TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO PUSH THROUGH THE
ENTIRE FORECAST AREA ON WEDNESDAY BRINGING MUCH DRIER AIR AND SOME
COOLING. IN THE SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY TIMEFRAME, STRONG SURFACE
LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL INDUCE
BREEZY/WINDY AFTERNOONS WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES. TEMPERATURES
WILL APPROACH SEASONAL NORMS TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK WITH THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE.
