--------------------
355 PM DISCUSSION...

DESPITE NUMEROUS BOUNDARIES LEFT OVER FROM LAST NIGHTS
CONVECTION...WITH THE ATMOSPHERE SLOWLY REJUVENATING ITSELF...DO NOT
EXPECT ANOTHER THE WIDESPREAD OUTBREAK. HOWEVER STORMS ARE FIRING UP
ACROSS NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO INTO THE TX/OK PANHANDLES. THIS WILL
ALLOW A MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM TO SLIDE SOUTHEAST ALONG THE
NORTHWEST FLOW. WILL GO WITH THE SHORT TERM MODELS THINKING...WITH
THE CORE OF THE SYSTEM SLIDING ALONG THE RED RIVER. HOWEVER THE
SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THIS SYSTEM WILL MAINLY AFFECT THE NORTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE BIG COUNTRY. THEREFORE WILL GRADUALLY REDUCE POPS
FROM NORTH TO THE SOUTH. STORMS ARE ALSO POPPING UP FROM NEAR
ROSWELL INTO FAR WEST TEXAS. MODELS ARE NOT INDICATING MUCH
DEVELOPMENT WITH THESE...HOWEVER WITH MORE OF A WEST TO EAST FLOW
WITH THESE STORMS...WILL CONTINUE WITH CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE SOUTH.

THURSDAY AFTERNOON CONVECTION WILL ONCE AGAIN FIRE UP ACROSS
SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO INTO WEST TEXAS...MUCH AS ON TUESDAY. WITH A
WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW...THIS WILL DRAG ANOTHER MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE
SYSTEM ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS. WITH BETTER UPPER SUPPORT AND
NUMEROUS BOUNDARIES LEFT OVER FROM PREVIOUS DAYS CONVECTION...HEAVY
RAIN AND STRONG STORMS DEVELOPMENT LOOKS TO BE SIMILAR TO TUESDAY
NIGHT. THEREFORE WILL GO WITH HIGH POPS FOR ALL AREAS...WITH THE
BEST CHANCES IN THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN COUNTIES.

A COLD FRONT FINALLY DRAGS THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING HELPING TO CLEAR
THE STORMS ON FRIDAY. THIS WILL ALSO ALLOW SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR TO
FILTER DOWN INTO WEST CENTRAL TEXAS. THUS HAVE BUMPED DOWN HIGH
TEMPS A FEW DEGREES ON FRIDAY.

SATURDAY THE ATMOSPHERE REJUVENATES WITH THE SOUTHERLY FLOW
RETURNING. THIS WILL ALLOW DEEPER MOISTURE TO BEGIN TO RETURN AHEAD
OF THE NEXT SYSTEM. ANOTHER STRONG SHORTWAVE PASSING ACROSS...DRAGS
A COLD FRONT THROUGH SUNDAY. ALSO THE LEFT EXIT REGION OF THE
SUBTROPICAL JET PROVIDES SOME UPPER SUPPORT SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. WITH
MOISTURE POOLING UP ALONG THE FRONT...A LINE OF STORMS IS POSSIBLE.
EXPECT CLOUDS AND SHOWER ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE BEHIND THE FRONT
THROUGH MONDAY...WITH THE NORTHEAST TO EAST UPSLOPE LOW LEVEL FLOW.
OTHERWISE...RIDGING GRADUALLY BUILDS IN THROUGHOUT NEXT
WEEK...ALLOWING HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS TO GRADUALLY RETURN.
