ALLI IS MOVING SWWD AS PROMISED...AS UPPER RIDGE OVER SOUTHERN
ROCKIES HAS A FIRM GRASP ON IT AND IS TAKING IT CLOCKWISE. WORST
WEATHER IN THE NEAR TERM MAY BE SOUTHERN TEXAS...WELL OUT OF OUR
AREA...AS PER LATEST SWOMCD. HIGH PRESSURE/S INFLUENCE WILL INCREASE
AND THE RAIN CHANCES WILL END BY THE END OF THE WEEK...THEN LAWN
MOWERS WILL NEARLY CHOKE AS THEY FEAST UPON THE PLENTIFUL ALBEIT
SOGGY BOUNTY.

GASP...WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH. WILL MONITOR
SATELLITE AND RADAR UP TO ZONE ISSUANCE TIME...BUT CIRCULATION
CENTER AT SURFACE AND 500 MB OVER E TX HAS PRODUCED RELATIVELY
LITTLE CONVECTION THUS FAR. TEMPERATURES STRUGGLING TO REACH
80...BUT BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS TRYING TO DEVELOP OVER THE WATCH AREA
MAY INDUCE FRESH DEVELOPMENT. CONTRARYWISE...POSITIVE VORTICITY
ADVECTION FIELDS DID SHOW A LOBE ACROSS COASTAL LA TODAY...AND THE
LINE OF STORMS BATTLED BY LCH AND NEW TODAY VERIFY THAT. BUT THAT/S
ALL...NVA IS PROGGED TO REMAIN OVER OUR CWA THROUGH THE NIGHT...AND
SURFACE WIND CONVERGENCE ALONG SOUTHERN TIER OF CWA WILL WEAKEN /E
TO NE WINDS NORTH...SE WINDS SOUTH/. FOR CONSISTENCY SAKE I WILL
KEEP POPS IN THE 50-60 PERCENT RANGE WITHIN THE CURRENT WATCH
AREA...AND MAY PLACE AN OBLIGATORY MENTION OF SOME LOCALLY HEAVY
DOWN SOUTH...BUT FOCUS WORDING MAINLY DURING THE EVENING.

HENCE WILL NOT EXTEND THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE HUGE AREA...
ALTHOUGH BEAR IN MIND THAT A WARNING COULD ALWAYS BE ISSUED IF HEAVY
RAIN SHOWERS DEVELOP OVER AN ALREADY HARD HIT SPOT.
