.DISCUSSION...
SETTING UP FOR AN ACTIVE EVENING A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY
DRIFTS SOUTHWARD INTO THE HILL COUNTRY-NE CWA AND STORMS BACK-BUILD
WESTWARD. AMS OVER THE CWA CONTS TO DESTABILIZE ESPECIALLY OVER
THE WESTERN HILL COUNTRY AND RIO GRANDE PLAINS WHERE TEMPS HAVE
CLIMBED WELL INTO THE 90S UNDER FULL SUNSHINE. ALONG WITH THE
POTENTIAL FOR LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS THERE WILL BE A THREAT
OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AS THE BACK-BUILDING STORMS REDEVELOP AND
TRAIN SOUTHEAST THIS EVENING. CONSIDERED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR
THE NRN CWA THIS EVENING BUT FEEL HEAVY RAINS WILL BE MORE LOCALIZED
SO WILL ADD MENTION OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN RATHER THAN ISSUE A WATCH
FOR THE TIME BEING. THE CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE SHIFT TO THE WEST
AND SOUTHWEST TONIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY ENDING OVER ALL BUT THE
SOUTHWEST COUNTIES DURING THE AFTERNOON.

A COOLER DRIER NWLY FLOW TO PREVAIL THIS WEEK WITH MINIMUM TEMPERATURES
BELOW SEASONAL NORMS MUCH OF THE WORK WEEK WHILE MAX TEMPS WILL WARM
TO NEAR OR ABOVE NORMS STARTING TUESDAY. THE NWLY FLOW WEAKENS BY
LATE IN THE WEEK WITH A BROAD FLAT UPPER RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE
SOUTHWEST U.S.. A RETURN TO SLY LOW LEVEL WINDS BY LATE IN THE
WEEK WILL RETURN HIGHER HUMIDITIES TO THE REGION FOR THE WEEKEND
AND NOT EXPECTING MUCH MORE THAN ISOLATED AMS CONVECTION NOT WORTH
MENTIONING AT THIS TIME.
