BETWEEN A FULL LATITUDE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY
AND AN AMPLIFIED UPPER LEVEL RIDGE ANCHORED OVER THE GREAT BASIN.
AN ASSOCIATED SURFACE COLD FRONT CURRENTLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS IS EXPECTED TO SURGE SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE PERMIAN BASIN
TO VICINITY THE PECOS RIVER BY SUNSET AND PROGRESS SOUTHWARD TO
SOUTH OF THE RIO GRANDE RIVER BY DAYBREAK MONDAY.

LIMITED LOW LEVEL MOISTURE PRECEDING THIS FRONT AND LACK OF ANY
LARGE SCALE FORCING/ASCENT WILL RESULT IN MAINLY A DRY FRONTAL
PASSAGE. IN THE WAKE OF THIS COLD FRONT...BRISK LOW LEVEL UPSLOPE
FLOW AND WEAK ISENTROPIC LIFTING WILL AID IN DEVELOPING LOW CLOUDS
AND A FEW SHOWERS ALONG THE LEE-SIDE OF THE SOUTHWEST TEXAS

AIRMASS SLIDES TO OUR EAST...ALLOWING LOW-LEVEL WINDS TO SLOWLY
VEER FROM NORTHEAST TO SOUTHERLY BY LATE MONDAY.  DESPITE A COOL
