.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 548 AM CDT FRI APR 4 2014/

DISCUSSION...
SHRA/TSRA HAVE INCREASED IN INTENSITY/AREAL COVERAGE AS THE FRONT
CONTINUES TO MOVE SE...NOW JUST ENTERING THE LAKES REGION OF
INLAND SE TX. WITH AMPLE INSTABILITY AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND LATEST
MODEL TRENDS SHOWING A BOWING FEATURE OF THIS LINE IN THE NEXT FEW
HOURS HAVE PROMPTED SPC TO ISSUE AN ADDITIONAL SVR WATCH #62 FOR

DISCUSSION...
CURRENT SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS THE COLD FRONT FINALLY MAKING PROGRESS
ACROSS NE TX...WITH SHRA/TSRA BEGINNING TO FILL IN ALONG AND

SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR FILTERS BEHIND IT.

WITH THE FRONT BECOMING STATIONARY ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS
.OVER-RUNNING SHRA/TSRA WILL CONTINUE OFFSHORE...WITH SKIES
NOT EXPECTED TO CLEAR ACROSS OUR REGION. THE WIND PATTERN ALOFT
REMAINING FROM THE WSW WILL KEEP THE DOOR OPEN FOR THE NEXT
SIGNIFICANT DISTURBANCE TO BRING ANOTHER GOOD CHANCE OF SHRA/TSRA
FOR SAT AFTERNOON INTO LATE SUN AS A FRONTAL WAVE/LOW DEVELOPS SAT
NIGHT AND MOVES NE SUN.

FOLLOWING THE EXIT OF THIS SYSTEM WILL BE THE END OF THE PRECIP
AND SEASONABLE TEMPS FOR MON. MINOR SHORTWAVE MAY GENERATE A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHRA FOR TUE...WITH NO PRECIP EXPECTED FOR WED

INTO THE AFTERNOON AS A THE FRONT MOVES INTO THE AREA...AND LINGER
INTO FRIDAY AS THE FRONT MOVES INTO AND THEN STALLS OVER THE
