Looks like SE Texas will actually get a chance to dry out this weekend and also warm up. Looks like sometime next week we could experience elevated rain chances once again along the gulf coast.

.DISCUSSION...
THE HEAVY RAIN THREAT HAS BEGUN TO DIMINISH. AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY HAS
PUSHED SOUTH AND WEST. RAIN COOLED AIR BEHIND THE BOUNDARY HAS
STABILIZED THINGS AND A NICE EVENING IS IN STORE FOR THE EASTERN
2/3RDS OF THE CWA. OUTFLOW BOUNDARY PUSHING WEST WILL CONTINUE TO BE
THE FOCUS FOR ADDITIONAL STORMS OVER THE WESTERN THIRD OF THE CWA
BUT EVEN THESE STORMS LOOK LIKE THEY'LL BE WEST OF THE CWA BY 4 PM.
WILL CANCEL THE FLOOD WATCH AT 4 PM UPON ISSUING NEW SET OF ZONES.

WILL RAISE POPS FOR THURSDAY AS A WEAK 70H CONVERGENT ZONE
APPROACHES AND PW'S REMAIN AOA 1.8 INCHES. MODELS HINT AT A WEAK 25H
RRQ. CONVECTIVE TEMPS ARE IN THE MID AND UPPER 80S WHICH ARE
REACHABLE.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION OVER THE WEEKEND. 500 HEIGHTS
BUILD TO 594 DM SO EXPECT QUITE A WARMING/DRYING TREND. KEPT 20 POPS
GOING FOR NOW BUT THINK RAIN CHANCES WILL BE RATHER SLIM. STAYS
RATHER QUIET UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK WHEN THE 50H RIDGE BEGINS
TO BREAK DOWN AGAIN. 43/46

CWA *repeats to self* county warning area, country warning area, county warning area

Why can't I retain that in my memory? It's like reading music -- it just won't stay in my brain. I had to go look that up again. I'm sure I asked you guys once before last year what it stood for.

I jumped the gun on that one.

I jumped the gun on that one.

Just like our NWS has been doing lately , but we actually have gotten a decent rain today. Looks like a 40% chance tomorrow and then 20% over the weekend with chances rising as we head into next week. Hey it's summer it can rain just about any day for the next 3 months.
