WELL THE FIRST SHORTWAVE CERTAINLY PACKED A PUNCH THIS AFTERNOON
BUT IT HAS LUCKILY HELPED STABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE AROUND HERE.
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW REMAINS IN PLACE AT LEAST THROUGH TODAY AND
POSSIBLY INTO FRIDAY WITH THE UPPER RIDGE STILL FIRMLY PLANTED
OVER NORTHERN MEXICO. A COUPLE SUBTLE SHORTWAVES ARE STILL PRESENT
WITH THE FIRST ONE MOVING THROUGH THE AREA NOW INTO THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS. SCATTERED STORMS WILL HAVE ALREADY BEGUN TO
REDEVELOP ACROSS THE COASTAL COUNTIES THIS MORNING ALONG THE
REMNANT OUTFLOW OF THIS AFTERNOON STORMS. LUCKILY WE ARE AT THE
NOCTURNAL MINIMUM FOR INSTABILITY WHICH SHOULD RESULT IN MORE JUST
HEAVY RAIN SHOWERS THAN THUNDERSTORMS. FINALLY THE LAST SHORTWAVE
SHOULD KICK THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. MUCH LIKE ANY
SUMMER AFTERNOON THE POTENTIAL IS THERE FOR OF ANOTHER ROUND OF
STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS, ESPECIALLY WITH THE REMAINING DRIER AIR
ALOFT. STORMS SHOULD HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES WITH LOCALLY STRONG WIND
GUSTS AND POTENTIALLY A SEVERE HAILSTONE OR TWO DURING THE
AFTERNOON; HOWEVER, OVERALL SHEAR AND INSTABILITY IS A TICK WEAKER
AND THE SHORTWAVE IS WEAKER LIKELY LEADING TO LESS COVERAGE.
STORMS LOOK TO BE FAR LESS ORGANIZED THIS AFTERNOON THAN YESTERDAY
AND POTENTIALLY A MORE PULSE THUNDERSTORM ENVIRONMENT OVERALL.
BY FRIDAY AND INTO SATURDAY A MORE PREVALENT PATTERN CHANGE WILL
BE SETTING UP AS THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS EASTWARD WITH TIME. AFTER
A COUPLE WEEKS OF RAINFALL AND STORMS, TRUE NORTHERN GULF SUMMER
WILL BE UPON US AS HEAT INDICES LOOK TO CLIMB BACK TOWARDS THE
TRIPLE DIGITS AND HIGHS CLIMB INTO THE MID 90S. WE WILL NEED TO
KEEP AN EYE ON THE HEAT PRODUCTS BY THE START OF NEXT WEEK AS
CONDITIONS MAY BEGIN TO FLIRT WITH ADVISORY CRITERIA BY MONDAY.
NONETHELESS, THINGS LOOK TO GET TOASTY WITH THE UPCOMING HIGH
PRESSURE SETTLING IN AND A WHOLESALE PATTERN CHANGE. BB-8
