ANOTHER DISTURBANCE SPREADING ALONG THE MIDDLE AND UPPER TEXAS COAST WAS ALSO PRODUCING ACTIVITY. ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS ASSOCIATED WITH A LOW/TROUGH ALOFT. A SURFACE FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDING FROM SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA NORTHEAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL SECTIONS OF THE COUNTRY WILL DRIFT SOUTH AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES SOUTHEAST ACROSS PARTS OF TEXAS. STORMS ALONG THIS BOUNDARY WILL SEND OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES TOWARD THE FOUR STATE REGION...WHICH WILL COMBINE WITH THE ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LOW... PRODUCING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE FOUR STATE REGION ON THURSDAY. THE UPPER LOW WILL MOVE INTO SOUTHEAST TEXAS AND SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA BY LATE THURSDAY AND THEN DRIFT EAST INTO SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI BY EARLY SATURDAY. THIS SHOULD BRING THE RAIN TO AN END. HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE ALOFT WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD OVER THE SOUTHWEST PARTS OF THE COUNTRY AND EXPAND EAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...MAKING FOR A MOSTLY DRY AND HOT WEEKEND...AND INTO THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK.
