A SUBTROPICAL JET STREAK AND ASSOCIATED ENHANCED MID/UPPER-LEVEL
MOISTURE REMAINS OVER THE AREA BUT WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN/PUSH
EASTWARD AS SUBTROPICAL RIDGING BUILDS WESTWARD FROM THE GULF.
EARLIER LIGHT RAIN WITH THIS FEATURE HAS DISSIPATED, THOUGH SOME
PATCHES OF LIGHT RAIN/SPRINKLES MAY STILL OCCUR ALONG THE COAST
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. OTHERWISE, ISOLATED TO WIDELY
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP OVER INLAND
AREAS, WITH THE RELATIVELY HIGHEST CHANCES IN THE BRAZOS VALLEY.
ACTIVITY WILL DIMINISH THIS EVENING. SUBTROPICAL RIDGING WILL BE
CENTERED OVER SOUTHEAST TEXAS THROUGH THE WEEK. THIS WILL PREVENT
WIDESPREAD CONVECTION, BUT STILL EXPECT ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND STORMS TO DEVELOP EACH AFTERNOON WITH DAYTIME HEATING,
ONSHORE FLOW, AND THE SEA BREEZE. HIGHS WILL MAINLY BE IN THE
LOWER 90S. TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE TYPICAL HIGH BIAS OF NBM DEW
POINTS, THERE WILL ONLY BE A LOW CHANCE OF HEAT INDICES REACHING
HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA. BUT HEAT WILL CERTAINLY STILL BE A CONCERN
FOR THOSE NOT ACCLIMATED TO IT. TOWARDS THE END OF THE PERIOD,
THE RIDGE MAY START TO WEAKEN AS TROUGHING AMPLIFIES OVER PORTIONS
OF THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN CONUS. THIS MAY RESULT IN AN INCREASE
IN CONVECTIVE COVERAGE STARTING AROUND SUNDAY WITH SOME FRONTAL
BOUNDARIES STALLING NORTH OF OUR AREA, BUT DETAILS REMAIN
UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME.
