NLY WINDS HAVE INCREASED AT KMAF WITH SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWING
BOUNDARY JUST S. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATING SHRTWV SW OF KEPZ
WITH SOME ENHANCEMENT NOTED OVER NRN MEXICO. ANOTHER WEAKER SHRTWV
IS SEEN S OF THE BB RGN MOVING E. BASED ON SATELLITE LOOP BEST LIFT
IS BETWEEN KDRT AND KLRD WITH ONLY SOME MID CLOUDS NOTED ACROSS THE
BB RGN AND AM SKEPTICAL ABOUT POPS ACROSS THE BB RGN AND TERRELL
COUNTY. OTHERWISE AROUND 60 STILL LOOKS GOOD FOR PB PER KMAF
SOUNDING. A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT WINDS HOWEVER AS THEY ARE
CURRENTLY AT TOP END OF THE FCST. HOWEVER WITH 12Z RUC SHOWING ONLY
10-15KTS THRU THE DAY AND NEW FWC ONLY AROUND 10KT WOULD OPT TO HOLD
ON TO FCST FOR NOW AND GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO DECREASE IN WAKE OF
BOUNDARY.
