PATTERN REMAINS STATUS QUO FOR A GOOD PART OF THE WEEK WITH
MID/UPPER RIDGING SITUATED ACROSS THE DESERT SOUTHWEST INTO TEXAS,
TROFFINESS IN THE SE STATES, AND RIDGING IN THE ATLANTIC. LOCALLY,
DRIER AIR & SUBSIDENCE SHOULD BE FAIRLY DOMINATE AND KEEP THINGS
MOSTLY DRY THROUGH THE MIDWEEK PERIOD (THOUGH AN ISOLATED LATE DAY
SHOWER CAN'T TOTALLY BE RULED OUT WITH THE SEABREEZE).
THURSDAY AND INTO THE WEEKEND, PW'S TREND UPWARD AND CLOSER TO THE
2" RANGE. AND, DEPENDING ON YOUR MODEL OF CHOICE, MAYBE A FEW
WEAK INVERTED H5 WAVES TRACKING WWD ACROSS THE NRN GULF COAST TOWARD
TX. EITHER SHOULD ALLOW FOR SLIGHTLY BETTER DIURNALLY DRIVEN RAIN
CHANCES AND COVERAGE (PERHAPS 30-40%). 47
