340 AM
UPPER TROUGH OVER THE GREAT BASIN WILL REACH THE NORTHERN PLAINS
BY SUNDAY WITH A SHORTWAVE RIDGE FOLLOWING CLOSE BEHIND. CURRENT
STATIONARY FRONT (COMANCHE- DALLAS-PARIS) WILL LIFT NORTHWEST
SLOWLY DURING THE DAY. SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT AND SHORTWAVE
ENERGY WILL PRODUCE MORE THUNDERSTORMS TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY. MOST

LAMPASAS TO BONHAM LINE TODAY AND SATURDAY WITH SOME STRONG TO
SEVERE ACTIVITY OVER THE FAR WESTERN COUNTIES. COME SUNDAY...THE
UPPER TROUGH AXIS WILL MOVE EAST OF THE I-35 CORRIDOR AND THERE
ARE INDICATIONS OF CONVECTION MOVING SOUTHEAST OUT OF OKLAHOMA AND

SOUTHEASTERN SECTIONS OF THE CWA. SHORTWAVE RIDGING TAKES OVER FOR
MONDAY WITH LITTLE OR NO CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY. CONVECTION WILL
RETURN TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY AS A WESTERLY FLOW AND A WEAK
SHORTWAVE UNDERCUTS RIDGE AND ANOTHER UPPER TROUGH WEST MOVES OVER
