PUT TEMPO FOR A FEW HRS THIS EVENING. OTHERWISE WILL BRING IN SOME
LOW MVFR CEILINGS IN ALL BUT FAR SOUTHWEST SITES OVERNIGHT...

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 248 PM CST WED JAN 20 2010/

.DISCUSSION...
OUR FOCUS IS PRIMARILY ON CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL FOR LATE THIS
AFTERNOON THROUGH THIS EVENING. THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WHICH REACHED
A LINE FROM SOUTH OF SEYMOUR TEXAS TO AROUND COALGATE OKLAHOMA
LATE THIS MORNING HAS BEGUN TO VENTURE NORTHWARD. AS THIS
OCCURS...A DRYLINE NOW LOCATED FROM NEAR LUBBOCK TO AROUND
SWEETWATER TEXAS WILL PUSH RAPIDLY EASTWARD ALONG WITH A MID LEVEL
VORT MAX NOW CENTERED OVER EASTERN NM. STORMS MAY INITIATE ALONG
THE DRYLINE...AFFECTING OUR WESTERN NORTH TX COUNTIES BY 5-6 PM.
SHORT TERM MODELS INDICATE RAIN...LIKELY WITH SOME THUNDER NEAR
AND SOUTH OF THE OKC METRO...EXPANDING AND MOVING ACROSS EASTERN
SECTIONS OF THE CWA THROUGH THIS EVENING. SEVERE STORMS REMAIN A
POSSIBILITY IN THE SOUTHEAST...WITH LARGE HAIL THE MAIN CONCERN.

SHORT TERM MODEL GUIDANCE WAS LOADED IN THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING...
WITH NOT MUCH CHANGE FROM THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. THE LEADING EDGE
OF A BROAD CYCLONIC CIRCULATION NOW OFF THE PACIFIC COAST WILL
MOVE EAST AND BEGIN TO INFLUENCE THE CWA WITH GUSTY SOUTHEAST
WINDS ON FRIDAY. THE CENTER OF THE MID LEVEL LOW IS FORECAST TO
PASS NORTH OF OK/N TX WITH A BRIEF SHOT AT SOME RAIN AND A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS FROM FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. NO CHANGES WERE
MADE TO THE EXTENDED FORECAST.
