200 PM CDT TUE JUN 5 2001

EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...FRONTAL BOUNDARY WAS ORIENTED FROM THE
NORTHWEST SOUTH PLAINS INTO THE EASTERN TX PANHANDLE...MAINLY ALONG
A LINE FROM NEAR MULESHOE...TO PLAINVIEW...TO WHEELER. FRONT STILL
CREEPING SOUTH AND EASTWARD AT THIS TIME...BUT SHOULD MIX OUT
SOMEWHAT LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND RETREAT SLOWLY BACK INTO THE
PANHANDLE. EXPECT STORMS TO DEVELOP ALONG FRONT AND DRYLINE...MAINLY
EAST OF THE I-27 CORRIDOR...AS CONVERGENCE ALONG DRYLINE IS REALIZED
AND H7 TEMPS BEGIN TO COOL. SIMILAR TO LAST EVENING...SOME STORMS
COULD BECOME SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL AND STRONG DOWNBURST WINDS BEING
PRIMARY THREAT. SEE SPC SWODY1 FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS. DEVELOPMENT
OF LOW LEVEL JET TONIGHT ALONG WITH INCREASING MOISTURE ON HEELS OF
SOUTHEAST WINDS COULD SUSTAIN CONVECTION WELL AFTER SUNSET. SHOULD
ALSO SEE DEVELOPING LOW CLOUDS AFTER MIDNIGHT OVER MOST OF CWA. LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE TO REMAIN IN PLACE OVER CWA WEDNESDAY THRU THURSDAY
AS EASTERLY SFC WINDS PROVIDE MOIST UPSLOPE FLOW...THEREBY
WARRANTING A SLIGHT CHANCE OF POPS. SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPS ALSO
EXPECTED DUE TO DEEPER MOISTURE.

FOR THE EXTENDED...WILL RETAIN MENTION OF SLIGHT CHANCE OF
EVENING/NIGHTTIME STORMS FOR THE WEEKEND DUE TO DISTURBANCES IN
NORTHWEST FLOW AND ACTIVITY POSSIBLY PUSHING INTO CWA FROM THE
HIGHER TERRAIN OF NEW MEXICO. WARMING AND DRYING TREND TO ENSUE
