MORNING THAN WE PREVIOUSLY ANTICIPATED. HAVE ADJUSTED SKY GRIDS
TO BETTER MATCH MORNING TREND. ALSO MADE SOME MINOR TWEAKS TO
TEMPS...DEW POINTS...AND RH GRIDS WHICH WONT AFFECT ZONES. STILL
LOOKING FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO REDEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON

SHORTLY.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 638 AM CDT MON JUN 4 2007/

AVIATION...

DISCUSSION...
THE HEAVY RAINS HAVE LEFT THE AREA VERY STABLE. SOME CREEKS AREA
STILL OUT OF BANKS BUT NOT IN FLOOD...AND SHOWING SLOW FALLS. A
THUNDERSTORMS COMPLEX AROUND ABILENE IS MOVING EAST SOUTHEAST AND
MAY REACH BURNET COUNTY THIS MORNING. BUT IT IS SHOWING TENDENCIES
OF WEAKENING, SO IT MIGHT NOT REACH BURNET COUNTY AT ALL BUT LEFT
DECENT POPS IN THIS AREA.

THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS ARE TRANSITIONS IN ALL BUT THE WINDS. CHANCE
OF RAIN GOES WAY DOWN AFTER TUESDAY AS THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS INTO
THE AREA. WITH A NORTHWEST FLOW CONTINUING THROUGH TUESDAY
MORNING, THE CHANCES OF RAIN STAYS IN THE PICTURE. ONCE THE UPPER
RIDGE GAINS CONTROL OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF TEXAS, POPS GO TO
NEAR ZERO AND TEMPS RISE TO NEAR RECORD LEVELS. WE WILL HAVE HOT
DAYS WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. AND BECAUSE OF THE FAIRLY TIGHT
SURFACE GRADIENT AT NIGHT, THE MIN TEMPS WILL BE IN THE 70S. BY
THE WEEKEND A BREAK IN THE UPPER RIDGE WILL ALLOW SOME TROPICAL
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO FLOW NORTH ACROSS THE EASTERN
COUNTIES.
