.NEAR TERM /Now Through Wednesday/...A surface front is currently
moving into interior sections of the area. Ahead of the front a very
deep tropical airmass exists with MLCAPE values around 2K.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are beginning to develop in this
moist and unstable airmass and will increase in coverage through the
afternoon hours. Gusty winds and frequent lightning will be the main
threats. Heavy rain will also remain possible, however widespread
flooding is not expected and the Flash Flood Watch has been
cancelled.

The front will stall across the area tonight with continued chances
of showers and thunderstorms mainly across the southern portions of
the area. Showers and thunderstorms increase in coverage across
the area again on Wednesday, however lower rain chances are
expected due to an upper ridge building in from the west. The
highest rain chances on Wednesday will be along the I-10 corridor
near the stalled boundary.

Temperatures will be on the increase on Wednesday with highs in the
mid and upper 80s. Lows tonight and Wednesday night will be in
the mid and upper 60s well inland to mid 70s along the coast. /13
