CFWHGX).

CHANGES IN THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN OCCUR THIS COMING WEEK WITH MORE
OF A SUMMER PATTERN TAKING SHAPE OVER MUCH OF THE COUNTRY. THE
BUILDING UPPER RIDGE AND SURFACE HIGH OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES
WILL RETROGRADE WEST AND BE CENTERED OVER THE ARKLATEX REGION BY
WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL CAUSE THE LOW LEVEL JET TO SHIFT WELL WEST OF
THE AREA TUESDAY. MONDAY NIGHT/EARLY TUESDAY SHOULD BE THE LAST
ROUND OF STRATUS DEVELOPMENT. A SIGNIFICANT DROP IN SFC WINDS IS
EXPECTED TUESDAY...WITH WINDS BECOMING FAIRLY LIGHT THE REST OF
THE PERIOD. THE TYPICAL SUMMERTIME DIURNAL LAND BREEZE/SEABREEZE
INTERACTION SHOULD BEGIN BY WEDNESDAY. THE LIGHTER WINDS WILL
RESULT IN SOMEWHAT COOLER OVERNIGHT LOWS THE LATTER HALF OF THE
WEEK. HOWEVER...DAYTIME HIGHS WILL REMAIN WELL ABOVE NORMAL DUE TO
THE UPPER RIDGE. THIS WILL BE OFFSET A LITTLE BY LOWER HUMIDITY
LEVELS. SOUNDINGS ARE MORE FAVORABLE FOR CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT
BEGINNING WEDNESDAY...BUT MOISTURE WILL STILL BE VERY LACKING.
HAVE KEPT PRECIP OUT OF THE FORECAST AS A RESULT. 00Z RUNS OF THE
GFS/ECMWF ARE SHOWING A GLIMMER OF HOPE FOR SOME RAIN OUT ON THE
HORIZON. BOTH MODELS SHOW THE UPPER RIDGE WEAKENING SIGNIFICANTLY
BEYOND DAY 7 WITH UPPER TROUGHING DEVELOPING OVER THE WESTERN
GULF. STILL TOO FAR OUT TOO GET EXCITED ABOUT THIS SOLUTION.
