HOWEVER...DO NOT EXPECT WIDESPREAD AREAL FLOODING...SO HAVE NOT
ISSUED AN AREAL FLOOD WARNING. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS SHOULD BE
LESS THAN 0.25 INCH TODAY. OTHERWISE...RAIN SHOULD END TODAY AFTER A

SHRTWV EXPECTED TO MOVE SE ACROSS THE GRTLKS ALONG SRN PERIPHERY OF
CIRCULATION ASSOCIATED WITH POLAR VORTEX CENTERED OVER NE CANADA ON

BE CLOSED OFF OVER THE TX PHDL/WRN OK AT THAT TIME. BASED ON
CONSENSUS OF 00Z MODELS TRENDED POPS DOWN IN THE MON-TUE TIME FRAME.
TIMING/EVOLUTION DIFFERENCES IN MEDIUM RANGE MODELS WRT EJECTING OF
SWRN LOW BECOME RATHER LARGE BY WED...WITH MODEL CONSENSUS
SUGGESTING A SLIGHT CHC MENTION OF PRECIP WARRANTED. THICKNESS/FCST
SOUNDINGS INDICATED CWA WILL BE CLOSE TO RAIN/SNOW LINE AS THIS
