THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR WEST CENTRAL TEXAS.

.DAY ONE...

A COLD FRONT THAT MOVED THROUGH THE AREA THIS MORNING HAS STALLED
FROM SONORA TO JUNCTION THIS AFTERNOON. THIS FRONT WILL BEGIN TO WORK
BACK TO THE NORTH THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. AS THIS FRONT COMES
BACK TO THE NORTH...WARM MOIST AIR WILL BEGIN TO RETURN ACROSS WEST
CENTRAL TEXAS. AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE IS FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS
THE ARE THIS EVENING. ALL THIS COMBINED...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ARE EXPECTED TO BEGIN TO DEVELOP LATE THIS AFTERNOON...AND ESPECIALLY
THIS EVENING. WIND SHEAR PROFILES ARE MORE THAN ADEQUATE FOR ROTATING
THUNDERSTORMS AND SUPER CELLS. AT THIS TIME A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS EXISTS EAST OF A LINE FROM JUNCTION TO SAN ANGELO TO
ABILENE TO THROCKMORTON. THE MAIN THREATS FROM THESE THUNDERSTORMS
WOULD BE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. THERE IS ALSO A VERY LOW
POSSIBILITY THAT A TORNADO COULD DEVELOP ALONG OR JUST NORTH OF THE
WARM FRONT AS THUNDERSTORMS BEGIN TO DEVELOP THIS EVENING...WHERE THE
WINDS ARE STILL BACKED TO THE EAST NORTHEAST. AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS
THE MOST LIKELY AREA FOR ANY TORNADOES WOULD BE FROM JUNCTION TO SAN
SABA. THE MOST LIKELY TIME FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT LOOKS TO BE
BETWEEN 5 AND 11 PM. THE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP INTO
AN MESOSCALE COMPLEX AND MOVE TO THE NORTHEAST TOWARDS THE METROPLEX.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...

ON SATURDAY...VERY COLD AIR ALOFT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE BIG
COUNTRY SATURDAY. THIS WILL CREATE VERY STEEP LAPSE RATES IN THE
AFTERNOON. ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO DEVELOP ACROSS THE BIG COUNTRY
IN THE AFTERNOON WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE MARGINALLY SEVERE
HAIL DUE TO THE COLD TEMPERATURES ALOFT.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE REQUIRED THIS EVENING EAST OF A JUNCTION TO
SAN ANGELO...ABILENE TO THROCKMORTON LINE.
