406 PM CDT Mon Jun 5 2017

.SHORT TERM (Tonight through Tuesday night)...

Main weather concern will be the potential for strong to severe
convection the remainder of the afternoon and early evening.

Afternoon water vapor imagery data shows upper low spinning to our
north and northeast. This has resulted in an active northwest flow
across South Texas the last couple of days. Daytime heating has
yielded MLCAPE values between 2000 and 3000 with little to no CIN.
Also, there is a pocket of effective bulk shear of 40 to 45 knots
over the southern Coastal Bend. This has supported some storm
organization and an isolated severe weather threat. Large hail and
damaging winds will be the primary hazards with these storms.
Additional isolated activity will move southward into the northern
parts of the area as the afternoon progresses, with a strong to
marginally severe threat. Hi-res models generally weaken convection
between 00z and 03z with the loss of daytime heating.

Moisture does not scour out on Tuesday with PWs around 1.5 to 1.6
inches across eastern parts of the area. Again, daytime heating
may trigger some isolated convection as upper trough finally
pushes eastward. Low pops were retained over the Coastal Bend
into the Victoria Crossroads with only a slight chance of pops in
the afternoon.

Drier air finally builds into the region Tuesday night as trough
axis moves into the Deep South. No rain expected Tuesday night.

&&

.LONG TERM (Wednesday through Monday)...

Offshore flow will persist during the mid week in wake of the
frontal boundary.  As upper level riding builds into the region
drier conditions will develop, with no mentionable rain chances
through the end of the work week.  Despite shortwaves moving down
across the region late in the week, moisture will remain too limited
across the region for convection to develop.  Onshore flow will
gradually return to the region Thursday night into Friday as surface
high pressure shifts east of the region. Moisture will gradually
increase over the weekend into early next week as the next upper
level trough digs into the Rockies, and isolated showers and
thunderstorms will be possible across the Coastal Bend and nearshore
waters early next week. Temperatures will be near normal for the
time of year, with lows in the 70s and highs in the low to mid 90s,
warming into the upper 90s late in the period.
