.SHORT TERM...
88D RADAR SHOWING A FEW SHOWERS BEGINNING TO DEVELOP ALONG A
SURFACE BOUNDARY OVER THE SOUTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE AND WITH
A WEAK DISTURBANCE SEEN ON SATELLITE OVER NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO
MOVING INTO THE REGION IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT EXPECT SOME
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
HAVE MOVED CHANCE OF ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS SLIGHTLY TO THE EAST
FOR THIS EVENING. LOWER ATMOSPHERE CONTINUES TO BE VERY DRY
WITH SURFACE RH ACROSS THE REGION BELOW 15 PERCENT...THUS DO
NOT EXPECT MUCH IN WAY OF MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION. WITH VERY
STEEP LAPSE RATES AND NAM CONTINUING TO SHOW INVERTED V TYPE

DAMAGING WINDS WITH SOME OF THESE STORMS. NOT MUCH CHANGE FOR

.LONG TERM...
UPPER RIDGE TO HOLD INTO TUESDAY WHEN CLOSED LOW CURRENTLY OVER
OFF THE CALIF COAST IS PROGGED TO HAVE OPENED UP AND SHOULD BE
TOPPING THE RIDGE ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS. THIS MAY HELP USHER
A WEAK FRONT INTO THE FCST AREA. WITH SOME RETURN FLOW BEFORE THEN
WE MAY GET ENOUGH MOISTURE BACK TO SET UP A BIT OF A DRYLINE. THIS
COMBINATION PRESENTS THE BEST CHANCE OF RAIN THIS WEEK...ALBEIT
SMALL. INHERITED SLIGHT CHANCE LOOKS FINE ATTM. AFTER A BRIEF
RESURGENCE OF THE RIDGE THURSDAY FLOW ALOFT MAY BECOME SOMEWHAT
PROGRESSIVE WITH SWLY FLOW RETURNING OVERHEAD FRIDAY. A BIT
SCEPTICAL ATTM IN RELATION TO INHERITED POPS FOR FRIDAY BUT CANNOT
