MCS MOVING INTO SE TX THIS MORNING WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS OVER
THE MORE SRN FRINGES OF THIS SYSTEM. COORDINATION WITH SPC/CRP TO
EXTEND/EXPAND THE ORIGINAL WATCH KEEPS THE GREATEST THREAT(S) FOR
SEVERE WX ACROSS THE SW PORTIONS OF OUR CWA THROUGH SUNRISE. PRO-
SPECTS FOR ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY LATER TODAY COULD BE LIMITED GIVEN
THE LACK OF INSTABILITY IN THE WAKE OF THIS MORNINGS STORMS. HOW-
EVER WILL KEEP POPS ON THE HIGH SIDE THROUGH THIS AFTN AS WE WILL
STILL HAVE THE MAIN UPPER LOW MOVING ACROSS THE REGION.
NOT A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THE FCST AFTER TODAY AS THE BUILDING UP-
PER RIDGE FROM THE WEST HELPS TO DRY AND COOL THINGS OFF BY WEDS.
A WEAK COLD FRONT LATE THUR SHOULD HELP TO REINFORCE THIS AIRMASS
ACROSS SE TX THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK. THE FLATTENING OF THIS
UPPER RIDGE OVER THE WEEKEND WILL COINCIDE WITH THE RETURN OF ON-
SHORE WINDS BUT LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE COULD REMAIN LIMITED UNTIL MON
OR SO. THEREAFTER LONG RANGE MODELS BEGIN TO DIVERGE A BIT. ECMWF
WARMER THAN GFS BUT BOTH HINTING THAT ISO/SCT STORMS POSSIBLE MON
