EARLY THIS MORNING...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXTENDED FROM JUST NORTH OF SWEETWATER...SOUTHEAST THROUGH ABILENE AND THE HEARTLAND OF TX. SURFACE WINDS OVER WEST CENTRAL TX WERE VERY LIGHT... THOUGH KSJT VAD WIND PROFILER INDICATED THAT WINDS ABOVE THE LOW LEVEL NOCTURNAL INVERSION HAVE INCREASED DRAMATICALLY SINCE MIDNIGHT...WITH SPEEDS OF 30 TO 35 KTS IN THE 2 TO 3 KFT AGL LAYER. THIS LEVEL INFLOW IN COMBINATION WITH A MID LEVEL SHEAR AXIS WAS HELPING TO SUSTAIN THE CONVECTION. THE SHEAR AXIS WAS DIFFICULT TO DISCERN ON GOES WATER VAPOR IMAGERY...BUT WAS APPARENT ON THE 400 MB WIND PROFILER PLOT FROM SOUTH OF JAYTON...TO THE ARKLATEX REGION. PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN REMAINS RAIN CHANCES. ETA PROGS LITTLE OR NO CONVECTIVE INHIBITION OVER THE SOUTHEAST HALF OF WEST CENTRAL TX BY 18Z. GIVEN CURRENT TRENDS...AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM THIS MORNING/S CONVECTION MAY IMPINGE ON THIS AREA AS WELL.

BOTH GFS AND ETA MODELS GRADUALLY WEAKEN THE SHEAR AXIS UNDER THE BROAD UPPER RIDGE THROUGH FRIDAY. EVEN THOUGH SOME CONVECTIVE FOCUS MAY BE LOST WITH THE WEAKENING OF THE SHEAR AXIS...EXPECT CONVECTIVE INHIBITION TO REMAIN WEAK. ISOLATED MAINLY DAYTIME THUNDERSTORMS CANNOT BE RULED OUT IN THE WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY TIME FRAME...GIVEN SURFACE HEATING AND WEAK LOW LEVEL FORCING. WITH FEWER CLOUDS AND MORE ISOLATED CONVECTION...EXPECT TEMPS TO WARM TO NEAR SEASONAL VALUES.
