.DISCUSSION...
PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES ARE EXPECTED TODAY AS MOISTURE LEVELS
CONTINUE TO DEEPEN. A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL APPROACH
SOUTHEAST TEXAS THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS FEATURE COULD PRODUCE A FEW
SHOWERS. A STRONGER DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION ON FRIDAY
BRINGING A BETTER CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

COMMENTS:
TRANSPORT WINDS WILL HAVE A SLIGHTLY SOUTHWESTERLY COMPONENT THIS MORNING
WITH WINDS BACKING TO SSE THIS AFTERNOON. SPEEDS GENERALY STAY NEAR 10
KNOTS. A WEAK DISTURBACE NEAR THE TEXAS HILL COUNTRY WILL MOVE EAST THIS
AFTERNOON AND THE LATEST SHORT TERM GUIDANCE IS AGGRESSIVE WITH RAIN
CHANCES FOR THIS AFTERNOON. AT THIS TIME...WENT WITH A CONSENSUS WHICH
FAVORS DRY CONDITIONS FOR THE BURN SITE. THE 500 METER BURN OFF
TEMPERATURE IS AROUND 73 DEGREES.
