EMBEDDED THUNDER STRETCHES ACROSS MUCH OF THE WARM SECTOR BETWEEN

UPPER-LEVEL IMPULSE STREAMING NORTHEAST ACROSS THE REGION HAS
ALLOWED FOR THE RAINFALL TO GRADUALLY PUSH EAST THROUGH THE EVENING.
THE STRONGEST CONVECTION IS LOCATED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE
PRECIPITATION ENVELOP ACROSS SOUTHEAST TEXAS AND SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA
WHERE MOISTURE CONVERGENCE IS STRONGEST.

THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS WITH THE HRRR INDICATING THAT SOME STORMS
PRODUCING THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL COULD SWING NORTHEAST, CLIPPING
