EWP STATUS FOR 10 MAY 2012:  1-9pm SHIFT

We will be conducting a 1-9pm shift for Thu 10 May 2012.  Our area of interest is back in southern Texas.  The lingering cutoff low over Mexico is expected to eject over SW Texas on Thursday, and the strong upper level flow will persist in our target area (see Figure).  Storms are expected to fire over the higher terrain in Mexico and draft across the Rio Grande into south TX.  Some convection may also develop within the U. S.  Timing is expected to be late afternoon and evening, so we’ll go with our usual 1-9pm shift for Thursday.
