ACTIVE EVENING EXPECTED ACROSS ENTIRE AREA AS VIGOROUS UPPER TROF
MAINTAINS AN ACTIVE SQUALL LINE ALONG PACIFIC COLD FRONT AS IT
SWEEPS INTO W ZONES BY AROUND 00Z AND INTO CENTRAL OK AROUND 06Z.
POPS TONIGHT AOA 90PCT AREAWIDE. RAPID MOVEMENT OF STORMS SHOULD
PREVENT EXCESSIVE RAIN FROM BECOMING A PROBLEM AGAIN, BUT POTENT
UPPER DYNAMICS, DRY PUNCH ALOFT, AND FAVORABLE SHEAR PROFILES ARE
ALL MORE THAN ADEQUATE FOR SEVERE. DRY SLOT AND SUBSIDENCE BEHIND
THE SHORTWAVE EXPECTED TO RESULT IN CLEARING FROM SW TO NE BEHIND
THE LINE TONIGHT AND SUN. WILL KEEP LOW POPS IN E ZONES ON SUN FOR
POSSIBLE LINGERING MORNING SHOWERS.

SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL LOSE DEFINITION IN WIND AND PRESSURE FIELDS AS
IT STALLS ACROSS SE OK INTO S TX SUN NIGHT, BUT SHOULD MAINTAIN
ITSELF AS A ZONE OF ENHANCED MOISTURE GRADIENT. SHORTWAVE RIDGING
BEHIND THE UPPER TROF EXPECTED TO LIMIT PRECIP POTENTIAL UNTIL THE
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE NEAR THE COAST BEGINS RETURNING N. THAT SHOULD
START TO HAPPEN LATE MON AND ESPECIALLY MON NIGHT AS THE NEXT/ NEXT/
NEXT STRONG UPPER LOW DIGS INTO THE SW AND MOVES INTO AZ. INCREASING
