DISCUSSION...THE KCRP 12Z SOUNDING ALONG WITH VISIBLE IMAGERY AND
THE LATEST GUIDANCE ALL POINT TO A DRIER AND MORE STABLE AIRMASS
IN PLACE ACROSS THE CWA TDA COMPARED TO THE LAST TWO DAYS. WHILE
VERY ISOLATED SEA BREEZE CONVECTION CANNOT BE TOTALLY RULED
OUT...IT WL BE DRY FOR NEARLY THE ENTIRE CWA TDA. THE MAIN ISSUE
WL BE THE HEAT INDICES. WITH MORE SUNSHINE AND A WARMER BOUNDARY
LYR PER THE KCRP SOUNDING...HIGHS TDA WL BE A TAD WARMER. ALTHOUGH
DEW POINTS WL STILL MIX OUT SOMEWHAT...BLV THERE WL BE SVRL HOURS OF AT
LEAST BORDERLINE HEAT ADVY CRITERIA (110 DEGS) FOR PORTIONS OF THE
COASTAL BEND. AS A RESULT...WL CONTINUE THE HEAT ADVY AS IT
CURRENTLY STANDS.

MARINE...THE OTHER ISSUE WL BE THE WIND. AN INCREASE IN THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT FROM YDA SHOULD BOOST THE SRN BAYS AND SRN
NEARSHORE WATERS TO MARGINAL SCA LVLS. AS A RESULT...ISSUED AN SCA
FOR THESE AREAS FOR LATE AFTN/EVE TIME FRAME.
