1148 PM CDT MON JUN 9 2014

.AVIATION...
LINES OF SHRA/TSRA AND ASSOCIATED MVFR CEILINGS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE
ACROSS SE TX OVERNIGHT. 06Z TAFS CONTINUE CARRYING VCTS/VCSH WITH THE
MENTION ENDING UP NORTH BEFORE SUNRISE AND ALONG THE COAST BY LATE
MORNING...AS INDICATED BY THE HRRR WHICH HAS BEEN DOING A DECENT JOB
LATE THIS EVENING. CANNOT COMPLETELY RULE OUT ONE LAST THIN LINE OF
SHRA MOVING SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE AREA IN THE LATE MORNING THROUGH
EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS...BUT NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO MENTION IN THE
TAFS AT THIS TIME WITH THE THINKING THAT THE DRYING SOUTHWEST TO
WEST WINDS WILL WIN OUT.  42

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 344 PM CDT MON JUN 9 2014/

DISCUSSION...
REMNANTS OF LAST NIGHTS CONVECTION HAVE MOVED INTO THE SRN PARTS
OF SE TX. IT HAS SLOWED SEWD PROGRESS AND WEAKENED AS THE COLD
POOL IN ITS WAKE MODIFIED THRU THE AFTN. MOST OF THIS ACTIVITY
SHOULD BE TAPERING OFF IN THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS. WILL ONCE AGAIN
TURN OUR FOCUS UPSTREAM TO SEE IF THE SFC FRONT ITSELF DECIDES TO
LIGHT UP AS IT MAKES ITS WAY SWD OVERNIGHT AND INTO SE TX. MODELS
SEEM TO THINK IT'LL DO SO OVERNIGHT. BUT AS HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY
DISCUSSED, DON'T HAVE MUCH CONFIDENCE IN SHORT TERM MODE GUIDANCE
ONE WAY OR THE OTHER AS MESOSCALE TOOK OVER TODAY. LOOKING AT GPS
PW PLOT IT LOOKS LIKE WE STILL HAVE 1.6-1.9" PW'S TO WORK WITH
EVEN BEHIND TODAY'S PRECIP IF THE AIRMASS IS ABLE TO RECOVER/RECHARGE.
SUSPECT WE MIGHT SEE SOME SCT ACTIVITY DEVELOP MAYBE LIKE THE
HRRR DEPICTION AND THINK 30-50% POPS SHOULD SUFFICE FOR NOW THRU
MIDDAY TUE AS THE FRONT MAKES TO TO NEAR (BUT NOT OFF) THE COAST.

UPPER TROF PULLS AWAY AND SHOULD SEE A DRYING/WARMING TREND FOR A
COUPLE DAYS WITH PREVAILING NW FLOW ALOFT. GUIDANCE STILL SUGGESTS
POTENTIAL FOR SOME DISTURBANCES RIDING DOWN THE FLOW LATE THURS
INTO THE WEEKEND. CAN'T PIN THESE DOWN THIS FAR OUT SO LOW POPS
WILL REMAIN FOR NOW. RIDGE EXPANDS OVERHEAD EARLY NEXT WEEK.  47
