AVIATION...
Cluster of storms has managed to get going across western portions
of se Tx. Short term hires guidance suggests this, or a portion
of, this cluster will maintain itself for the next 4-6 hours as
it treks eastward toward the I-45 corridor. Storms between CRP &
SAT have been losing their luster the past several scans & will
monitor that area to see if capping wins that battle. Appears main
time period for possible impacts to the Houston area airports
will be between 1-5z. May see another thin band of shra and/or iso
tsra develop along the front itself as it passes from CXO to the
coast between 10-14z. VFR conditions should prevail from mid
morning onward Sat. 47
