MID AND HIGH LEVEL SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE EVIDENT ON WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY FROM MEXICO INTO NM AND TX. 07Z SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS A
COLD FRONT ACROSS THE NORTHERN EDWARDS PLATEAU TO JUST SOUTH OF
KDFW. THIS FRONT...AIDED BY THUNDERSTORM OUTFLOW...HAD PROGRESSED
FURTHER SOUTH OVER WC TX ON SATURDAY THAN ORIGINALLY ANTICIPATED.
THE FRONT IS CURRENTLY SERVING AS A FOCUS FOR DEEP CONVECTION TO THE
SOUTH AND EAST OF KSJT. RADAR ESTIMATES OVER 9 INCHES OF RAIN HAS
FALLEN SOUTH OF ELDORADO.

ETA WASHES THE FRONT TODAY AND BRINGS SOUTHERLY RETURN FLOW TO ALL
OF WC TX THIS AFTERNOON. THIS MAY BE SLIGHTLY PREMATURE...GIVEN THE
3 KFT DEPTH OF FRONTAL AIRMASS NEAR THE KDYX RADAR. EXPECT THE FRONT
AND THE NUMEROUS CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES TO BE A FOCUS FOR
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT TODAY. WILL LIKELY CONTINUE THE FLASH FLOOD
WATCH INTO THE FIRST PERIOD FOR THE EDWARDS PLATEAU GIVEN ONGOING
FLOODING AND RAINFALL. ADDITIONAL CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY EXPECTED OVER
THE CONCHO VALLEY AND HEARTLAND THIS AFTERNOON. BUT WITH FRONT MORE
DIFFUSE AND LIFTING NORTH...FLASH FLOOD THREAT IN THE CENTRAL AND
NORTHERN ZONES SHOULD BE MORE ISOLATED.

PERSISTENCE APPEARS BEST FOR TEMPS TODAY. THEN AROUND A CATEGORY
WARMER ON MONDAY WITH INCREASED LOW LEVEL MIXING IN THE
STRENGTHENING RETURN FLOW. CONVECTIVE INHIBITION TO REMAIN LOW
MONDAY...WITH THE PASSAGE OF A WEAK MID LEVEL TROF EMBEDDED IN THE
SUBTROPICAL FLOW. ETA PROGS PRECIP WATER TO REMAIN NEAR 1.5 INCHES.
