127 PM CDT TUE MAY 8 2012

.DISCUSSION...UPDATED FOR LATEST AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW.

&&

.AVIATION...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WW 267 CONTINUES FOR ALL OF DEEP
SOUTH TX EXCEPT FOR WILLACY AND CAMERON COUNTIES THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING. CURRENT KBRO RADAR TRENDS INDICATES THAT THE SMALL
CLUSTER OF SEVERE TSTORMS OVER ZAPATA COUNTY WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE
EAST AT 20 TO 30 MPH. KAPY REPORTED A 62 MPH GUST AT 1235 PM. THE
SOUTHERN END OF THE CONV LINE IS STARTING TO BUILD FURTHER SOUTH
AND THIS WILL BE THE MAIN AVIATION CONCERN THROUGHOUT THE SHORT
RANGE PERIOD. THE LATEST LAPS CAPE VALUES INDICATES SOME FAIRLY
DECENT CAPE VALUES IN THE 1400 TO 1800 J/KG RANGE OVER MOST OF
DEEP SOUTH TX WHICH IS USUALLY ON THE LOW SIDE FOR THE AREA.
HOWEVER SPC IS EXPECT BETTER SUPPORT ALOFT FROM A COUPLE POLAR AND
SUBTROPICAL JET STREAK ALIGNMENT WHICH WILL IN TURN GREATLY
ENHANCE UVV THROUGHOUT MUCH OF THE UPCOMING TAF PERIOD. ALSO
DAYTIME HEATING WILL CONTINUE TO DESTABILIZE THE ATMS TO THE EAST
AND SOUTH OF THE ONGOING CONV INCREASING THE CONV POTENTIAL. FOR
NOW WILL HOLD OFF ON ANY MENTION OF SVR WX IN THE CURRENT TAF SET
AND WILL SEE HOW THE DEVELOPMENT PROCEEDS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL
HOURS. HOWEVER IF THE SOUTHERN END OF THE LINE BECOMES BETTER
ORGANIZED WILL INCLUDE SOME STRONGER CONV WORDING ESPECIALLY FOR
THE MFE AND HRL AREAS.

DISCUSSION...POSTED UPDATE TO INCREASE POP CHANCES TODAY AND TO

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 616 AM CDT TUE MAY 8 2012/

DISCUSSION...UPDATED FOR LATEST AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW.

AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TODAY WITH CLOUDINESS
RISING TO 4000 FEET WITH MODERATE SURFACE WINDS. AVIATION
CONDITIONS WILL DEGRADE BEGINNING SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET AS CLOUD

AND THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY TODAY...AS HIGH PRESSURE IN THE MIDDLE
LAYERS OF THE ATMOSPHERE CENTERED OVER SOUTH-CENTRAL MEXICO
REMAINS EXTENDED OVER OUR REGION FOR ANOTHER 12 HOURS. TONIGHT...
UNSETTLED WEATHER FINALLY ENTERS THE PICTURE...AS A WEAK COLD
FRONT SLOWLY DROPS SOUTH INTO THE BRO CWFA. STORM PREDICTION
CENTER MENTIONS THE FRONT AND A LAUNDRY LIST OF OTHER FACTORS
THAT WILL COMBINE TO PRODUCE SEVERE SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS
FEATURING VERY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. WITH ZAPATA AND
SLIVERS OF JIM HOGG AND STARR COUNTY CURRENTLY IN A SLIGHT RISK
OF SEVERE WEATHER UNTIL AROUND SUNRISE WEDNESDAY MORNING...HAVE
INCLUDED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR ALL OF DEEP SOUTH TEXAS AND THE
RIO GRANDE VALLEY FOR TONIGHT SINCE STORM PREDICTION CENTER
MENTIONS THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE COLD FRONT AND OVER
NEIGHBORING MEXICO BEFORE PROPAGATING EAST. APPEARS THAT SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE WEDNESDAY AS THE FRONT REMAINS
CLOSE BY IF NOT OVERHEAD. SUCCESSIVE SHIFTS WILL NEED TO MONITOR
THE LATEST DISCUSSIONS FROM STORM PREDICTION CENTER...IN PART...
TO DETERMINE IF MENTION OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL NEED TO BE
INCLUDED IN BRO CWFA FORECAST FOR WEDNESDAY.

LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...THE PERSISTENT
THEME OF A SURFACE COLD FRONT AND A MID LEVEL TROUGH COMBINING TO
GIVE DEEP SOUTH TEXAS AND THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY A RAIN EVENT HAS
NOT CHANGED. THE FRONT SHOULD TRIGGER SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS
IT MOVES THROUGH ON WEDNESDAY...WITH HEAVY RAINING THUNDERSTORMS
DEVELOPING AND MOVING NORTH FROM MEXICO. COVERAGE AND INTENSITY
WILL INCREASE OVER ALL OF DEEP SOUTH TEXAS AND THE LOWER RIO
GRANDE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AS THE MID LEVEL TROUGH NEARS AND MOVES
NORTHEAST ACROSS TEXAS. RAINFALL LATE THURSDAY THROUGH EARLY
FRIDAY WILL YIELD AROUND AN INCH FOR MOST OF THE CWA...WITH
ISOLATED POCKETS OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. THUNDERSTORMS WILL
CHANGEOVER TO SHOWERS FRIDAY NIGHT AS THE INFLUENCE OF THE LOW
AND TROUGH ALOFT WANES. A SECOND SURGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL
ARRIVE SATURDAY AND WILL INTRODUCE BREEZY NORTH WINDS WHILE
STARTING TO DRY THINGS OUT WITH A NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT...OR A
RIDGE UPSTREAM. SOME CLEARING POSSIBLE SATURDAY AND BEYOND...WITH
SLIGHTLY COOLER BUT NEAR NORMAL TEMPS.

AROUND 8 KNOTS GUSTING TO AROUND 10 KNOTS WITH SEAS SLIGHTLY UNDER
2.5 FEET WITH A PERIOD OF 4 SECONDS AT 02 CDT/07 UTC. GENERALLY
BENIGN MARINE CONDITIONS...FEATURING LIGHT TO MODERATE WINDS AND
LOW TO MODERATE SEAS...WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE NEXT 36 HOURS AS
WEAK LOW PRESSURE EXTENDS FROM THE BAY OF CAMPECHE INTO THE
WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO. THE ONLY CONCERN WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT...FEATURING LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WINDS...AS A WEAK COLD FRONT DROPS SOUTH INTO DEEP SOUTH TEXAS AND
THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...A COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY
COUPLED WITH MID LEVEL INSTABILITY WILL TRIGGER UNSETTLED WEATHER
OVER LAND AREAS...BUT SOME UNCERTAINTY REMAINS AS TO HOW MUCH WILL
TRANSLATE OUT OVER THE WATER. THE GFS SHOWS THE FRONT THROUGH THE
LOWER TEXAS COAST AND OUT IN THE GULF WEDNESDAY NIGHT...BUT WITH
SHOWERS AND TSTMS IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT INCREASING IN COVERAGE
AND MOST LIKELY INTENSITY THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE H5
LOW MOVES THROUGH CENTRAL TEXAS...WITH ASSOCIATED ENERGY MOVING
THROUGH THE BASE OF THE TROUGH OVER SOUTH TEXAS. THE MOST INTENSE
WEATHER WILL BE ON FRIDAY GIVEN THIS SCENARIO...AND THE GFS SHOWS
THE FORMATION OF A COASTAL LOW AND ASSOCIATED STRONG CYCLONIC
WINDS AND HEAVY RAINFALL ON FRIDAY. A SECONDARY SURGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE WILL SHIFT WINDS TO MODERATE TO STRONG NORTH TO NORTHEAST
ALONG THE COAST SATURDAY...WITH A MARINE TROUGH SITUATED WELL
OFFSHORE. THE MODERATE TO STRONG NORTH WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
SATURDAY...WITH BUILDING SEAS. WAVE HEIGHTS WILL INCREASE THURSDAY
