.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 338 PM CDT TUE JUL 22 2014/

SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT)...
THE STRONG UPPER RIDGE HAS PUT A LID ON CONVECTION ACROSS MOST OF
TEXAS THIS AFTERNOON. WE DO NOT EXPECT ANY SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS
FROM NOW THROUGH THE NIGHT. LOOK FOR A REPEAT ON WEDNESDAY FOR
MOST OF OUR AREA...AS THE RIDGE ESSENTIALLY STAYS IN PLACE.
HOWEVER...WE DID ADD SMALL POPS FOR THE FAR EASTERN COASTAL PLAINS
AS PW INCREASES (QUITE SUBSTANTIALLY IN THE NAM...LESS SO IN THE
GFS) AND THE SEA-BREEZE MAY BE ENOUGH TO GENERATE ISOLATED STORMS.

LONG TERM (THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)...
A TUTT-LOW (OR AT LEAST AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH) NOW OVER SOUTHEAST
LOUISIANA WILL MOVE WEST-SOUTHWEST AND EVENTUALLY ALL THE WAY TO
THE LOWER RIO GRANDE...AND BEYOND. WE STAYED NEAR THE PREVIOUS
FORECAST AND KEPT LOW POPS FOR THE PLAINS EAST OF THE I-35
CORRIDOR ON THURSDAY. WITHOUT A STRONG SURFACE FOCUS OTHER THAN
THE SEA-BREEZE...AND INCREASING MID-LEVEL CAPPING AND LOWER PW TO
THE WEST...IT SEEMS CONVECTION WILL HAVE A HARD TIME MOVING WEST.

BEYOND THURSDAY...THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE RE-CONFIGURES TO A MORE
MERIDIONAL (NORTH-SOUTH) ORIENTATION...AS A DEEP TROUGH FORMS OVER
THE GREAT LAKES. DESPITE THE ORIENTATION CHANGE...THE RIDGE WILL
STILL MAINTAIN NEAR OR ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THERE ARE SOME INDICATIONS IN THE GFS/ECMWF
FOR A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT TO MOVE INTO EAST TEXAS BY THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK. THERE IS TOO MUCH UNCERTAINTY AT THIS FORECAST RANGE TO
MENTION POPS IN THE FORECAST...OTHER THAN WE WILL BE MONITORING
THIS IN COMING DAYS.
