WHILE IT WILL BE WEAKER IF IT MAKES IT THIS FAR SOUTH...CANNOT COMPLETELY RULE OUT THE POSSIBILITY AND WILL LEAVE SCATTERED POPS IN OVERNIGHT. A NORTHWESTERLY UPPER FLOW DEVELOPS TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY AS AN UPPER RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS THE WESTERN GULF. MEANWHILE A SERIES OF UPPER TROUGH WILL PROGRESS EASTWARD ACROSS THE NORTHERN STATES.
