The effects of nonlinear, nonlocal, diffusive convection have been included in the structure equations of pulsational hydrodynamic analyses of a series of RR Lyrae models. We find a well-defined red edge of the unstable region that depends on mode of pulsation. It is shown that this result has strong implications for the nonlinear behavior of RR Lyrae stars.
