AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN ANGELO TX
326 PM CDT THU MAY 13 2004

.SHORT TERM...
NOT MUCH TIME DUE TO SEVERE WEATHER...STORMS DEVELOPED ALONG COLD
FRONT ACROSS THE BIG COUNTRY...AND ALSO OVER THE HEARTLAND AND
EASTERN CONCHO VALLEY IN RESPONSE TO A WESTWARD MOVING OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY FROM EARLIER ACTIVITY IN CENTRAL TEXAS. OUR THINKING IS THAT
STORMS ALONG FRONT WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT AS THE FRONT SAGS SOUTHWARD.
DRY LINE CURRENTLY NEAR SAN ANGELO...BUT BELIEVE IT WILL REMAIN
STATIONARY OR POSSIBLY MOVE BACK WEST A BIT UNTIL UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM
OUT WEST GETS CLOSER. &&
