WEST CENTRAL TEXAS FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN ANGELO TX
905 PM CDT WED JUN 26 2002

WAS TEMPTED TO CUT POPS FOR TONIGHT...BUT MCS STILL HAS PRETTY COLD
CLOUD TOPS...HAS SHOWN SIGNS OR WARMING (ALA SUNSET)...BUT LEADING
EDGE IS ONLY 100 MILES FROM THE BIG COUNTRY...SO WILL NOT MAKE ANY
CHANGES TO THE CURRENT FORECAST.

AFTERNOON DISCUSSION

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP IN THE TROPICAL AIR MASS
ACROSS CENTRAL AND EAST TEXAS. LIFT BEING PROVIDED BY DAYTIME
HEATING AND A WEAK UPPER LOW ACROSS NORTHEAST TEXAS. NOT MUCH GOING
ON ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS...AS WEAK SUBSIDENCE ON THE WEST OF THE
UPPER LOW HAS SO FAR BEEN STRONG ENOUGH TO KEEP CONVECTION FROM
DEVELOPING. MOISTURE NOT A PROBLEM...WITH SURFACE DEWPOINTS HOLDING
IN THE 60S AND 850 MB DEWPOINTS IN THE MID TEENS. ALOFT...WEST
CENTRAL TEXAS STILL SANDWICHED BETWEEN A LARGE UPPER HIGH OFF TO THE
WEST AND THE LOW OFF TO THE EAST...PROVIDING NORTHERLY FLOW ALOFT.

DESPITE THE SUBSIDENCE...STILL THINK A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WILL EVENTUALLY DEVELOP THIS EVENING ACROSS THE AREA. WILL SEE MORE
CONCENTRATED ACTIVITY DEVELOP FARTHER NORTH ALONG AN MCV AS IT DROPS
INTO OKLAHOMA. BIGGEST QUESTION IS WITH RELATIVELY WEAK LOW AND MID
LEVEL FLOW...HOW FAR SOUTH WILL THE MORE CONCENTRATED ACTIVITY MOVE
BEFORE STARTING TO WEAKEN AND DISSIPATE. THINK AT LEAST SOME REMNANT
MID LEVEL SHOWERS WILL SURVIVE AND WILL LET CURRENT CHANCE POPS
CONTINUE FOR LATE TONIGHT AND THURSDAY MORNING.

AIR MASS REALLY DOESNT CHANGE MUCH THROUGH THE WEEKEND...AND HIGH
DOESNT LOOK LIKE IT WILL BUILD IN STRONG ENOUGH TO COMPLETELY CAP
THINGS OFF FOR A FEW MORE DAYS...SO WILL CONTINUE WITH AT LEAST
ISOLATED SHOWERS AND STORMS THROUGH SUNDAY.
