Dan & Walts Weather

Cumulus popped around 10:50am CDT this morning on schedule (or slightly ahead) compared to yesterday. With a trigger temp of 90F we should see cloud thermals or cloud bases to 5500msl by noon. Pete Alexander “98”, who has been sniffing for us daily, will launch at 1150am. Today the big factor is a band of moisture and clouds on an east west line just to the north of Uvalde. It’s in a “deformation zone” or in the upper atmosphere and will help to develop Few to Scattered thunderstorms over the Hill Country beginning around 1-2pm. As a result, tasking will keep all classes to the south and west quadrants. The sea breeze front is not expected to reach too far inland and should not be a factor, but isolated thunderstorm cells will form along it also.
