.DISCUSSION...

With high pressure now well east of the region and an area of low
pressure shifting south into West Texas, 20ft south winds will be
increasing throughout today to near 8-12 mph this afternoon with
occasional gusts upwards of 15 mph or higher across East Texas.
Very warm temperatures are expected with afternoon highs ranging
in the mid to upper 70s. With increasing Gulf moisture, dewpoints
will climb back into the 50s later today with minimum RH values
generally averaging around 50 percent this afternoon and higher
through the rest of this week. Afternoon mixing heights will range
between 4000-4500 feet today with very good mixing and dispersion.
Patchy fog cannot be ruled out on Wednesday morning but should not
be widespread while low stratus clouds will be more predominant.
