THE UPCOMING WEEK WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY ACTIVE AS UPPER LEVEL WINDS BECOME NORTHWEST. A SERIES OF MESO-SCALE CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES WILL RACE SOUTHEAST DURING THE LATE NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING HOURS. THE TIMING AND AREAL EXTENT OF THESE SYSTEMS ARE DIFFICULT TO FORECAST. THE FIRST OF THESE SYSTEMS WILL APPROACH EAST TEXAS LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH A SECOND SYSTEM LATE THURSDAY NIGHT.
