.LONG RANGE/TROPICS...GFS INDICATES SOME WEAK 5H TROFFING BUILDING
IN ALONG THE TX COASTLINE EARLY NEXT WEEK WHICH MAY COMBINE WITH THE
DIURNAL HEATING TO HELP FIRE OFF SOME ISOLD AFTERNOON CONV ALONG THE
SEA-BREEZE. WILL LEAVE IN A MENTION OF ISOLD POPS FOR MUCH OF THE
UPCOMING WEEK. THE OVERALL 5H RIDGING PATTERN PERSISTENT OVER THE TX
AREA INTO THE LONGER RANGE PERIOD WILL KEEP TEMPS NEAR OR SLIGHTLY
ABOVE AVERAGE INTO NEXT WEEK. THE LATER PERIODS OF THE GFS RUN
SUGGESTS THAT THE TROPICAL ATLANTIC IS STARTING TO GET A LITTLE MORE
ACTIVE AND SHOWS SEVERAL TROPICAL WAVES SCATTERED OUT BETWEEN THE
GULF OF MEX AND THE WESTERN COAST OF AFRICA ESPECIALLY IN THE 120 TO
240 HR RANGE. A PRETTY WELL DEFINED TROPICAL WAVE IS SHOWN MOVING
INTO THE WESTERN GULF OF MEX AROUND 7/12/04 WHICH MAY BE THE NEXT
SIGNIFICANT RAIN MAKER FOR THE REGION IN THE 6 TO 10/8 TO 14 DAY
RANGE.

With a little more detail...the GFS shows a 1012MB low moving into the Houston area between the 12th and 14th. Most of the rainfall associated with the low is expected to be slighly east of the low center. But remember this is far out and we're relying on a GFS run...this will change 100 more times before then.

Yes, but remember the late blooming years start quick. Right at the REAL start of 1999, we had a major hurricane hit Texas, a major hurricane spin in the Atlantic and a dangerous hurricane spin off the southeast coast within a few days.
