THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER ALL OF NORTH TEXAS
THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

A STRONG UPPER LEVEL DISTUBRANCE...MOVING AROUND THE BOTTOM OF THE UPPER
LEVEL STORM STYSTEM IN NORTHERN NEW MEXICO...WILL MOVE NORTHEASTWARD
INTO SOUTHWEST TEXAS THIS AFTERNOON.  AS THIS UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE
MOVES NORTHEASTWARD...COOLING WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE
AROUND THE TIME OF MAXIMUM AFTERNOON HEATING ACROSS WEST AND SOUTHWEST
TEXAS.   THE COMBINATION OF UPPER LEVEL COOLING AND LOW LEVEL HEATING
WILL CREATE THE NECESSARY LIFTING MECHANISM FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF
THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND EAST OF THE DRY LINE DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON.
AS THE DRY LINE MOVES SLOWLY EASTWARD ACROSS NORTH TEXAS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...THESE STORMS WILL INTENSIFY WITH THE
POSSIBILITY A FEW COULD BE SEVERE.
.
IN ADDITION TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES...THERE IS ALSO A RISK OF
FLASH FLOODING ACROSS MUCH OF THE RISK AREA THIS AFTERNOON AS RIVERS
AND STREAMS ARE NEAR OR ABOVE FLOOD STAGE WITH SATURATED GROUND
CONDITIONS OVER MOST OF NORTH TEXAS.

STORM SPOTTERS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS ARE ADVISED TO
KEEP INFORMED ON THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION AND BE READY FOR
QUICK ACTION SHOULD A WARNING BE ISSUED.
