.DISCUSSION...
OVERALL A LOT MORE QUITE ACROSS TEXAS COMPARED TO YESTERDAY.
SOUTHERLY BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW WILL STILL KEEP GULF MOISTURE OVER
THE REGION THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. PRESSURE GRADIENT IS
ENOUGH TO KEEP WINDS GOING IN THE 5-10KT RANGE. MAY GET SOME
PATCHY FOG WHERE WINDS LAY DOWN LONG ENOUGH IN THE MORNING.
CERTAINLY EXPECT THERE TO BE BKN/OVER LOW CIGS. UPDATED CLOUD
COVER TO MCLOUDY TO CLOUDY FOR THE AREA. MIN TEMPS WILL NOT DROP
MUCH AND LIKELY ONLY REACH LOW 70S. EXPECT MIN TEMPS TO BE ON THE
WARM SIDE INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH LOW 70S TYPICAL. MAY GET A
WEAK FRONT TO PUSH INTO THE AREA NEXT WEDNESDAY BUT STILL LOTS OF
UNCERTAINTY WITH EXTENDED RANGE MODELS. MAIN UPDATES TO THE
FORECAST WERE TO SKY CONDITIONS AND MIN TEMPS. UPDATED FORECAST
HAS BEEN SENT.
