INTRODUCED SLIGHT POPS FURTHER EAST ACROSS THE HILL COUNTRY AND

CENTRAL TEXAS.

THE MAIN EVENT THIS WEEK WILL BE TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. A
SOUTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE TROF CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER BAJA

IN SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY
AFTERNOON AND TUESDAY NIGHT. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND SEVERE
TSTMS WILL BE POSSIBLE DURING THIS TIME FRAME. THE CONVECTIVE
COMPLEX WILL BE EAST OF THE CWFA BY WEDNESDAY MORNING.
