VERY MOIST ATMOSPHERE AND CONSTANT S/WS MOVING THROUGH IS KEEPING THE SHRA AND TSRA OVER THE REGION. WITH THIS ACTIVITY INCREASING IN COVERAGE AND DEVELOPING OVER EASTERN TX AN MCS LOOKS LIKE IT WILL FORM OVER NW LOUISIANA AND MOVE EAST. H85 THETA E RIDGE WILL SITUATE EAST/WEST JUST NORTH OF THE AR/LA BORDER...UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT WILL BE IN PLACE WITH DIVERGENCE ALOFT...AND THIS WILL ALLOW SHRA AND TSRA TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT. THEN WITH PW VALUES OF GREATER THAN 2 INCHES AND NEAR 2.25 A FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL NEED TO BE ISSUED NORTH OF I 20 FOR TONIGHT. I WENT CATEGORICAL POPS FOR MOST OF THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CWA.
