VERY LITTLE CHANGE WAS MADE TO THE CURRENT FORECAST THROUGH FRI. DEEP LAYER RIDGE AXIS NORTH OF THE AREA TONIGHT...WILL BEGIN SHIFTING SOUTHWARD THURS...THEN LOCATED OVER THE CENT FA BY FRI. THIS WILL ALLOW LOW LEVEL WINDS TO TRANSITION TO SSE THURS...THEN SSW ON FRI...WHICH WILL SHIFT FOCUS OF CONVECTION PROGRESSIVELY INLAND BY FRI. FOR THE REST OF TODAY...STILL EXPECT CONVECTIVE COVERAGE TO CONTINUE INCREASING...BUT GIVEN THE HIGH PWS AND STRONG INSTABILITY WITH LACK OF CAP...IT COULD BE THAT CHCS FOR STRONG/SVR CONVECTION WILL BE LIMITED VS YESTERDAY.

AT THE SAME TIME...A DEEPER UPPER MOVES INTO THE CENTRAL U.S. WITH AN UPPER-LEVEL LOW CUTTING OFF OVER THE WESTERN GULF. I REDUCED AFTERNOON POPS TO JUST 20 PERCENT OVER THE GULF EACH DAY IN WESTERLY FLOW AND ADDED ISOLATED THUNDER FOR ALL OF THE COASTAL WATERS EACH NIGHT FROM SUNDAY ON THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH THE WESTERLY FLOW. IN SHORT...AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR EARLIEST ALONG COASTAL AREAS WHERE PRE-EXISTING CONVECTION MOVES ONSHORE...
