1100 AM CDT TUE APR 26 1994

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

LATE THIS MORNING A STRONG DRYLINE WAS LOCATED OVER WEST TEXAS
GENERALLY WEST OF A LINE FROM WICHITA FALLS TO ABILENE TO SAN
ANGELO.  THE DRYLINE WILL LIKELY MOVE EAST INTO WESTERN AREAS OF
NORTH TEXAS BY EARLY AFTERNOON AND SHOULD BE LOCATED WEST OF A
LINE FROM GRAHAM TO EASTLAND TO SAN SABA.

THE AIRMASS AHEAD OF THE DRYLINE LATE THIS MORNING WAS ALREADY
VERY UNSTABLE WITH LIFTED INDICES AROUND -8 AND BY LATE AFTERNOON
WILL FALL TO AROUND -12.  SATELLITE AND UPPER AIR ANALYSIS THIS

MEXICO WHICH WILL MOVE INTO WEST TEXAS THIS AFTERNOON. IN
ADDITION A FAVORABLE DIFFUENT FLOW ALOFT PATTERN CONTINUES OVER
NORTH TEXAS AS WELL.

THE MAIN THREAT FROM THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE LARGE HAIL
AND DAMAGING THUNDERSTORM WINDS.  HOWEVER ALTHOUGH THE LOW LEVEL
WIND PROFILE WILL BE SOMEWHAT WEAKER TODAY THAN YESTERDAY THERE
STILL WILL BE ENOUGH TURNING IN THE LOWER LEVELS TO SUPPORT
ISOLATED TORNADO DEVELOPMENT AS WELL.

LIKELY BE OVER WESTERN AND CENTRAL AREAS OF NORTH TEXAS MAINLY
WEST OF A LINE FROM PARIS TO THE DALLAS-FORT WORTH METROPLEX TO
WACO TO BELTON.
