A WEAK UPPER LEVEL RIDGE IS OVER THE AREA TODAY WITH A WARM, HUMID
AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS IN PLACE. WITH AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY PUSHING
SOUTHWEST INTO THE AREA AND STRONG SURFACE HEATING, THE HI-RES
MODELS GENERALLY SHOW ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE RRFS IS
THE MOST AGGRESSIVE WITH THE DEVELOPMENT. WITH MODERATE TO STRONG
INSTABILITY, A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE PULSE TYPE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE
WITH LOCALIZED STRONG, GUSTY WINDS AND HAIL. WITH WEAK STEERING
FLOW, LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN IS POSSIBLE WHERE THE SHOWERS/STORMS
OCCUR. FOR TONIGHT, A NORTH-SOUTH BAND OF CONVECTION (ASSOCIATED
WITH A WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH ALOFT) IS EXPECTED TO MOVE EAST INTO
WEST TEXAS DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. SOME OF THIS CONVECTION MAY
SURVIVE AS FAR EAST AS OUR WESTERN COUNTIES EARLY WEDNESDAY
MORNING. AS THE WEAK SHORTWAVE CONTINUES TO MOVE EAST INTO OUR
AREA, ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS
EXPECTED ON WEDNESDAY WITH DIURNAL HEATING. THE CURRENT FORECAST
HAS LOW TO MEDIUM (20-50 PERCENT) CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY, WITH THE HIGHER POPS ACROSS THE WESTERN
HALF OF OUR AREA. LIGHTNING WILL BE THE MAIN HAZARD, BUT WITH
MODERATE INSTABILITY A FEW STORMS MAY HAVE LOCALIZED DOWNBURST
WINDS AND SMALL HAIL. WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES OF 1.4 TO 1.6
INCHES AND SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE CONVECTION, LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN MAY
BRING A THREAT FOR LOCALIZED FLOODING OF STREETS, AND LOW-LYING OR
POOR DRAINAGE AREAS. WITH INCREASED CLOUD COVER, EXPECT HIGHS TO
BE CONFINED TO MOSTLY THE MID TO UPPER 80S.
