ISOLATED REDEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING PRIMARILY
IN AND AROUND THE DAVIS MOUNTAINS THOUGH A FEW STRAY SHOWERS AND
STORMS COULD DEVELOP ELSEWHERE AS DAYTIME HIGHS REACH UP INTO THE
UPPER 90S TO LOW 100S. TOMORROW WILL BE MUCH LIKE TODAY ON

WEAK DISTURBANCE MOVING SOUTHEAST COULD SEND THIS ACTIVITY INTO
THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN PERMIAN BASIN WHERE POPS INCREASE.
