NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN ANGELO TX
230 PM CDT SAT JUN 4 2005

.SHORT TERM...
A LOT OF WAITING AND WATCHING ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS THIS
AFTERNOON. AS OF 19Z...DRYLINE HAS SET UP FROM DRYDEN TO SNYDER TO
ALTUS. DRYLINE SHOWING SOME BETTER MOVEMENT ACROSS OKLAHOMA
THAN DOWN HERE IN TEXAS. WITH TEMPS IN THE 80S AND DEWPOINTS IN
THE 70S...CAPE VALUES ALREADY ABOVE 3000 AREAWIDE...AND PUSHING
5000 ACROSS THE NORTH. PROBLEM HAS BEEN THE CAP. WITH 700 MB TEMPS
IN THE 10 TO 12 DEGREE RANGE...DEVELOPMENT WILL BE SLOW TO
INITIATE AND WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE DEVELOPMENT...IF IT CAN
OCCUR AT ALL...TO OCCUR CLOSER TO 00Z. GIVEN THE CAPE VALUES...ANY
STORM THAT CAN DEVELOP WOULD QUICKLY REACH SEVERE LEVELS AND WILL
MENTION SEVERE IN ALL ZONES. THE CURRENT SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE
POPS LOOK GOOD FOR NOW.

WHAT HAPPENS TONIGHT WILL END UP PLAYING A BIG ROLE IN
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES TOMORROW. MODELS DEVELOP DECENT CONVECTION
ACROSS OKLAHOMA TONIGHT...HELPING SHOVE A WEAK COLD FRONT DOWN
NEAR THE BIG COUNTRY FOR SUNDAY. IF STORMS FAIL TONIGHT...
BOUNDARY WILL STAY A LITTLE FARTHER NORTH. WILL HOLD
SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR NOW.

.LONG TERM...
CURRENT FORECAST IN GOOD SHAPE AND WILL NOT NEED TO MAKE ANY REAL
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES. LARGE UPPER TROUGH SETTLES INTO THE WESTERN
US...SETTING UP SOUTHWEST FLOW. MID LEVEL TEMPS STILL PRETTY
WARM...BUT WORTH PUTTING SOME SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN AT TIMES.
