Outflow approaching, but convection falling apart.

PWS values were around 1.4-1.6 inches south of I-10 and nearly 2.0-2.2 inches across our northern counties this afternoon. As the radar showed the greatest concentration was over our northern counties where the best moisture was present. Weak capping was also noted along the coast keeping any seabreeze convection in check.

Impressive rainfall event of C TX in the last 48 hours with basin totals of 8-12 inches south of Waco and N of Austin. Some river flooding is in progress and may worsen over the next few days as run-off reaches main stem channels.

Air mass will continue to dry as SW US high builds slightly into TX and pesky upper level low and shear axis departs to the SW and NE. Dry weather with marginal PW for seabreeze activity will continue through Saturday with near climo POP in order. Bermuda ridge builds in from the east early next week with deep tropical moisture over the W Car. heading for the region. Expect rich PW air (>2.0 in) to begin to affect the region Sunday into early next week with rain chances increasing above average again.

Well, looks like the cap held. E/T fell apart as it approached. Looks like a boring few days ahead for us.
