.DISCUSSION...The dry thunderstorm chances have greatly decreased
as the shortwave disturbance and monsoonal moisture pull north.
Some lingering elevated instability will continue to aid in better
mixing, effective ventilation, and plume dominated behavior.
Mixing heights will also subsequently rise to 9000 to 10000 ft in
the afternoons. Instability fades some Thursday, but the
atmosphere remains well- mixed, keeping afternoon mixing heights
elevated. Another day or two of dry conditions, high temperatures,
and gusty diurnal winds are expected. A shortwave trof will push
in from the west Friday. A frontal passage will bring down overall
temperatures, keep winds gusty, and allow for more robust
nighttime recoveries. This system will also bring more elevated
instability. A slight chance for an afternoon thunderstorm over
the Trinity horn region will remain over the next couple of days,
and possibly Friday.
