SHRA/TSRA STARTING TO REDEVELOP ACRS TRANS PECOS WHERE CLOUD COVER IS GENERALLY LESS AND INSOLATION ON ELEVATED HEAT SOURCES WITHIN RICH MSTR IS SUFFICIENT FOR STORMS. STEERING FLOW REMAINS FAVORABLE FOR STORMS TO MOVE OFF MTNS INTO ADJACENT PLAINS. MID LEVEL THETA-E RIDGE AXIS REMAINS ACRS TRANS PECOS AND PERMIAN BASIN WHICH IS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO AN APPARENT MID LEVEL SHEAR AXIS. SFC PATTERN IS STILL CONVECTIVELY MASKED WITH GENERAL SE SFC WINDS IN PLACE WHILE MSAS DATA RE-ENFORCES IDEA THAT ATMOSPHERE REMAINS UNSTABLE...LI/S OF MINUS 4 TO 6.
