.DISCUSSION...
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are again ongoing across a
good chunk of North and Central Texas. Most of the activity is now
centered south of the Metroplex from near Killeen to Waco to
Palestine where a remnant outflow boundary is helping to focus
some development. This area has also warmed into the mid/upper 90s
thanks to little cloud cover from morning convection.
Thunderstorms are expected to continue through the remainder of
the afternoon into the early evening hours before diminishing in
coverage and intensity. Slow moving pulse severe storms are
possible with primarily a damaging wind threat along with nearly
continuous cloud to ground lightning. Highest PoPs through early
evening will be focused in the area south of I-20.

On Monday, a broad weakness will persist in the mid level height
fields as a weak trough moves in from the east. Ample moisture
will remain in place to kick off another round of scattered
afternoon showers and thunderstorms, however strengthening
southwesterly flow at 850mb will spread into our western counties
by afternoon. This suggests that the majority of the activity
Monday afternoon may be confined to areas east of I-35 as
increasing convective inhibition spreads into our western
counties. We'll maintain 20-30% PoPs across the eastern half of
the region.

As we get into Tuesday and Wednesday, coverage of afternoon
showers and storms will likely be on the decrease as the main
ridge axis begins to shift eastward into the Southern Plains.
There will still be a weakness in the heights across parts of our
area as a westerly moving trough nudges under the ridge. However,
right now it appears that most of the isolated convection will be
associated with sea breeze activity and better moisture across our
far eastern counties. The only exception would again be if
vigorous convection on Monday reinvigorates the weak upper trough
allowing the ridge to remain farther off to the west. These
scenarios are generally not well forecast by the models and we
probably wouldn't have a good idea about that potential until
sometime late tomorrow. In the meantime, we'll keep PoPs at 20%
for Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons across our southeastern
counties.

The middle to latter part of the week looks like it will remain
dry although the center of the ridge axis never makes it into the
central and southern Plains. This means that we'll still be on the
eastern periphery, although northerly flow will generally be
weaker. We'll keep the forecast dry for Thursday and Friday and
then bring low rain chances back into the forecast for the
weekend. There is some indication that we'll get back into a more
active northerly flow scenario on Sunday into Monday.

.AVIATION... /Issued 103 PM CDT Sun Jul 9 2017/
Thunderstorm complex continues to slowly move south with a general
weakening trend. While some light to occasionally moderate
rainfall continues from KLUD to KTKI, the outflow has already
raced well ahead of the complex, and is currently located from
KMWL to KLNC to KGVT. This will be the boundary which will be a
major player in who does, or does not, see additional thunderstorm
development this afternoon. As temperatures continue to heat up,
thunderstorms will bubble up along and just south of this
boundary, with the greatest potential for thunderstorms just south
of the Metroplex terminals. Scattered thunderstorms are still
possible through 4 PM in the metroplex, with only VCTS mentioned
along with the VFR ceilings. Cornerposts into the airports will
continue to be affected this afternoon, as the northern portions
of the airspace are affected now, and the southern cornerposts
likely to be affected this afternoon.
