HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO BE THE DOMINANT FEATURE ACROSS NORTH
TEXAS.  TROPICAL STORM BERYL IN THE GULF OF MEXICO IS MOVING SLOWLY
NORTHWESTWARD.  IT IS FORECAST TO COME ASHORE SOUTH OF BROWNSVILLE.
DUE TO THE SOUTHERLY TRACK EXPECTED WITH THIS SYSTEM...IT WILL HAVE
LITTLE EFFECT ON OUR CWA.  I WILL GO WITH SLIGHT POPS TUESDAY
THROUGH WEDNESDAY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES...AND NO POPS
ELSEWHERE.  THE STRONG HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD HELP PRECLUDE MUCH OF A
MORE NORTHERN EFFECT.

THE RIDGE WILL SHIFT SLIGHTLY NORTHWARD AS A RESULT OF BERYL...AND
THIS MAY HELP KEEP TEMPS DOWN SLIGHTLY ACROSS THE AREA.  MANY
LOCATIONS WILL NOT HIT TRIPLE DIGITS THE NEXT FEW DAYS...WITH THOSE
THAT DO JUST GETTING CLOSE.

ONCE TROPICAL SYSTEM MOVES AWAY FROM TEXAS...RIDGE SHOULD CONTINUE TO
DOMINATE WITH MORE HOT AND DRY WX.
