SHORT TERM /NOW THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...THE ANTICIPATED SHIFT TO
THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST HAS OCCURRED AMIDST LOWER LAYER WINDS WITH
WINDS UP TO ABOUT 7000 FT BLOWING FROM SOUTH OR SOUTH SOUTHEAST
ACCORDING TO THE KBRO VWP. THIS HAS RESULTED IN BOTH A MORE DIFFUSE
SEABREEZE WITH THE FLOW RUNNING PARALLEL TO THE SHORE AND DRYING IN
THAT LAYER...WHICH HAD ALREADY STARTED BY THE EARLY MORNING
SOUNDING. RAIN CHANCES ARE DONE FOR THE DAY WITH ONLY A FEW FLAT CU
RIGHT ALONG THE COAST AND TEMPERATURES HEADED INTO THE LOW TO MID
90S...AND UPPER 90S WEST. WIND SPEEDS ARE ALSO UP TODAY WITH GUSTS
UP TO AROUND 25 MPH.

TONIGHT...WIND SPEEDS WILL STAY UP A LITTLE HIGHER THAN THE LAST FEW
NIGHTS WITH LOW TEMPS PERHAPS A DEGREE OR SO WARMER AS A RESULT.
OTHERWISE MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES ANTICIPATED AS A RESULT OF THAT DRIER
LOWEST 6000 FT OR SO.

MONDAY...LARGE SCALE PATTERN CHANGES VERY LITTLE BY TOMORROW WITH
DEEP LOW LEVEL SOUTHEASTERLIES LEADING TO WEAK LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE
AND DRIER AND WARMER LOW LEVEL TEMPERATURES. KEPT SLIGHT CHANCE
SHOWER POPS LIMITED TO THE TRADITIONALLY FAVORED ZONE ALONG A
TRIANGLE FROM RAYMONDVILLE TO HEBBRONVILLE TO SARITA AND DRY
ELSEWHERE. ANOTHER WARM DAY THAT LOOKS PRETTY SIMILAR TO SUNDAY ALL
IN ALL.

MONDAY NIGHT...A LIGHT BREEZE THROUGH THE NIGHT BUT RIDGING SHOULD
STAY WEAK ENOUGH TO THE EAST TO KEEP IT FROM BEING MUCH MORE THAN
THAT. MOSTLY CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY WITH LIMITED HUMIDITY THROUGH
THE LOWEST FEW THOUSAND FEET...SAVE OF COURSE RIGHT AT THE GROUND.
/68-JGG/

LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...WEAK 500MB INVERTED
TROUGH/LOW ACROSS SOUTH TEXAS/NORTHEAST MEXICO TUESDAY WILL ALLOW
ISOLATED SEABREEZE CONVECTION TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE COASTAL
SECTIONS OF THE CWA THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. LOW TO MID
LEVEL MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE ACROSS NORTHEAST MEXICO
INTO THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY THURSDAY. THIS WILL PROVIDE A SLIGHTLY
BETTER CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA AS A
RESULT. OTHERWISE...A SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
THE REST OF THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND BEFORE THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS FRIDAYS BUILDS INTO SOUTH TX AND THE
