The upper-low that has helped spur and maintain the daily
convective cycle activity will shift to the west slowly.  However,
there appears to be a decoupling of this mid to upper-level
forcing and the low-level inflow, high instability surges off the
western Gulf and so generally thunderstorm activity is to be
significantly reduced in coverage and intensity later this
afternoon into tonight/early morning tomorrow for the areas that
have been most affected in the Texas Hill Country and Edwards
Plateau, with a few scattered thunderstorms possible though likely
further north toward the Rolling Plains and Northwest
Texas/Southwest Oklahoma.    The more significant convective
activity is likely to be across S New Mexico/Western Texas
Panhandle, as there remains a Slight Risk of Excessive Rainfall
through most of those areas.  Storms will be more isolated to
widely scattered in coverage and while intense (rates of
1.5-2"/hr) overall totals and flash flooding potential  will be
much more localized in nature.

The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 1000 PM CDT. Please refer to your local National Weather
Service office for additional information on this event.
