AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE ECONUS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE
SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCES INTO EASTERN TEXAS, THOUGH MOST OF THE
DYNAMICS CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING WIDESPREAD RAIN WILL REMAIN OUTSIDE
OF SOUTH TEXAS. THAT SAID, AT THE SURFACE, A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY
WILL MOVE THROUGH LATE TONIGHT AND INTO FRIDAY. STORMS TONIGHT
WILL FORM IN NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS THAT WILL RIDE S/SSE'WARD ALONG
THE FRONT INTO SOUTH TEXAS FRIDAY MORNING. LATEST CAMS ARE
LOCKING INTO GUIDANCE THAT SUGGESTS AN MCS-LIKE LINE OF STORMS
WILL PUSH INTO THE NORTHERN BRUSH COUNTRY BY THE FRIDAY MORNING
COMMUTE. THE CHALLENGE THESE MODELS ARE HAVING IS HOW WELL
ORGANIZED THIS LINE WILL BE AS IT APPROACHES THE HWY 77 CORRIDOR.
I BLENDED IN 12Z HRRR GUIDANCE TO NBM TO INCREASE POPS IN THESE
AREAS, THOUGH CONFIDENCE IN THIS SCENARIO IS LOW, THUS POPS WERE
ONLY INCREASED GENERALLY TO 15-30%). IN THE STRONGEST STORM,
ISOLATED 1 INCH RAINFALL RATES COULD BE SUPPORTED, THOUGH THESE
RATES WILL DECREASE AS THE LINE APPROACHES THE COASTLINE. THIS
FRONT MEANDERS ALONG THE COASTAL PLAINS THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON
WHICH WILL INCREASE SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE ALONG
THIS, BUT THE GREATEST CHANCES FOR RAINFALL WILL BE ALONG THE
COASTAL PLAINS.
FROM FRIDAY NIGHT, STORMS WILL DEVELOP AROUND THE RIO
GRANDE/NORTHERN MEXICO ON THE TAIL END OF THE MEANDERING FRONTAL
BOUNDARY. SPC HAS ISSUED A MARGINAL AREA OF SEVERE WEATHER
GENERALLY FROM THE BIG BEND SOUTHEASTWARD TOWARD BAFFIN BAY.
GREATEST THREAT WITH THESE STORMS WILL BE MARGINALLY SEVERE WIND
GUSTS AND HAIL.
FROM SUNDAY, TEXAS WILL FALL UNDER UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE INFLUENCE,
ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB BACK UP INTO THE 90S/LOW 100S AND
ACCORDINGLY, INCREASING THE HEAT RISK BACK INTO THE MODERATE/MAJOR
RISK IN THE UPCOMING WEEK. LOCATIONS IN THE BRUSH COUNTRY ARE
EXPECTED TO CLIMB BACK INTO THE EXTREME RISK (LEVEL 4 OF 4) FROM
WEDNESDAY. LITTLE RELIEF WILL BE EXPECTED, UNLESS A SEABREEZE
SHOWER OR OUTFLOW COMES THROUGH, WHICH HAS LOW CHANCES (<20%) OF
OCCURRING ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST.
