THE LATEST MSAS SFC ANALYSIS PLACED THE SFC LOW OVER VAL VERDE COUNTY WITH THE DRY-LINE EXTENDING NORTHWARD TOWARDS SAN ANGELO WHERE IT INTERSECTS THE COLD FRONT. THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WAS LOCATED OVER NORTHEAST MEXICO DIGGING EAST SOUTHEAST. STILL EXPECT ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP OVERNIGHT ALONG THE DRY-LINE AND COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THE NEXT ROUND OF CONVECTION WILL LIKELY BE IN THE FORM OF A SQUALL LINE/LINEAR MCS AS IT PUSHES EASTWARD ACROSS OUR CWFA OVERNIGHT. NO MAJOR CHANGES TO THE FCST ATTM.
