SEVERAL UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES CONTINUE TO RIDE NORTHEAST ALONG THE FRONT...CAUSING WAVES OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS. AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE NOW MOVING EASTWARD ACROSS CENTRAL TEXAS WILL MOVE EASTWARD TODAY AND AS IT GETS CLOSER WILL CAUSE AN INCREASE IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

SOME LOCALIZED URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOODING WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE TODAY. THE SHORTWAVE WILL FINALLY PUSH THE FRONT SOUTH AND EAST OF THE AREA BY LATE AFTERNOON BRINGING AN END TO THE RAIN FROM WEST TO EAST. CLOUDS AND RAIN WILL HOLD TEMPS IN THE UPPER 60S TO AROUND 70 TODAY. CLEARING SKIES AND DRIER AIR TONIGHT WILL ALLOW LOW TEMPS TO DROP INTO THE LOWER 50S. 13/JC (TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...A LONGWAVE UPPER TROF...WHICH WILL BE MOVING ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES AT 12Z TUESDAY WILL FINALLY PUSH THE STUBBORN SFC FRONTAL BOUNDARY WELL EAST OF THE AREA BY TUESDAY MORNING.
