.DISCUSSION...

LINEAR THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP SOUTHWESTWARD ALONG AN

STRONGEST STORMS MAINLY EAST OF THE I-35 CORRIDOR. WE/VE DECIDED TO
KEEP THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...LARGE HAIL AND

LARGE CAPES AND WEAKENING CIN EXIST.

WE/VE ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY FOR ALL SECTIONS OF NTX OVERNIGHT. A
TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT AND A 1026+ MB HIGH SINKING IN BEHIND THE
FRONT SHOULD HELP KEEP WINDS UP OVERNIGHT.

TOMORROW...MUCH COOLER. HURRAH

FRIDAY AND AFTERWARDS...A SEMI-FALL PATTERN WILL LINGER OVER NTX
THROUGH NEXT WEEK AS A WEAK MID/UPPER TROUGH PASSES BY THE RED RIVER
THIS WEEKEND...AND A DEEP LONG-WAVE TROUGH MOVES INTO THE ROCKIES
FIRST OF NEXT WEEK. DAILY TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN AT OR BELOW
NORMAL THROUGH THIS FORECAST. WE HAVE TRIMMED POPS BACK TO ONLY OVER
THE NORTHWEST SATURDAY AS THE UPPER TROUGH PASSES BY...AND DOWN
SOUTH MONDAY AS A TROPICAL WAVE MOVES INTO SOUTH TEXAS.

THIS TROPICAL WAVE WILL HAVE TO BE WATCHED CLOSELY OVER THE NEXT FEW
DAYS AS IT MOVES WEST ACROSS THE GULF OF MEXICO. A MORE NORTHERLY
PATH WILL SPREAD RAIN FURTHER NORTH TOWARDS THE I-20 CORRIDOR ON
MONDAY AND COULD EXTEND THE PRECIPITATION INTO TUESDAY.
