ATTENDANT COLD FRONT. STORMS HAVE REMAINED SUB-SEVERE THUS FAR...
BUT WILL BE HEADING INTO A MORE UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT AS THEY PUSH

STATIONARY...AND TRAINING TSTMS PRODUCING VERY HEAVY RAIN TOTALS
ALONG RED RIVER VALLEY...EASTWARD TO TXK. DEPENDING ON WHETHER
THIS AXIS FLUCTUATES DURG THE MORNING...SOME FLOODING COULD

HOWEVER...THIS AXIS WILL MOST LIKELY SHIFT AS UPPER LOW DEVELOPS
OVER CENTRAL PLAINS LATER TODAY AND BEGINS TO DIG SLIGHTLY TOWARDS
NORTHERN ARKANSAS AS LOW CLOSES OFF. IN RESPONSE...CONVECTIVE
COMPLEXES TO THE WEST WILL SWING TOWARDS THE DFW METRO AREA...AND
INCREASE EASTWARD INTO THE REGION BY LATER THIS MORNING.
ADDITIONAL OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES IN PLACE WITH MULTI DAY CONVECTION

UPPER LOW BRINGS NW FLOW INTO REGION LATER BY MIDWEEK...DEWPOINTS
LOWERING INTO LOWER 60S ACROSS NORTHERN SECTIONS...AND SFC WINDS
