MID AND UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE SOUTHERN U.S.
ROCKIES WILL REMAIN THE DOMINANT WEATHER FEATURE TO INFLUENCE THE
WEATHER PATTERN ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS. THE WILL RESULT IN
CONTINUED ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS.
THE HEAT ADVISORY CONTINUES THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING. WE WILL KEEP A
LOW CHANCE (20%) FOR AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR STORM ACROSS PORTIONS
OF THE NORTHERN HILL COUNTRY (MAINLY LLANO AND BURNET COUNTIES)
THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON AS DAYTIME HEATING ALONG WITH A NEARBY MID-
LEVEL THETA-E RIDGE AXIS COULD BE ENOUGH TO HELP INITIATE SOME
ISOLATED CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON. IF THESE ISOLATED CELLS MANAGE
TO DEVELOP, SOME GUSTY WINDS WILL BE IN STORE GIVEN THE HIGH-BASED
NATURE OF THE CONVECTION.
