.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight and Sunday)

Showers and thunderstorms are becoming more widespread across West
Central Texas this afternoon, and continue to blossom through the
rest of the afternoon and into the overnight hours. Low level
moisture is abundant, with the best lift just now starting to have
an impact as a potent shortwave trough begins to move into Far
West Texas. This trough axis will not pass until late tonight, so
widespread convection will continue. Given the high rainfall rates
and the potential for another 1 to 3 inches of rain, with locally
higher totals, kept the Flash Flood Watch going for the entire
area for tonight.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday Night through Saturday)

Overall, wet period will continue as the same basic pattern
continues. Main upper trough out to the west with a series of wave
rotating it and deep moisture already in place. A bit of a lull
for Sunday night as the shortwave tonight pushes east, and the
next wave is still upstream. This second shortwave rotates through
for Monday and Monday Night and have bumped ups PoPs for it as
well. Again, heavy rainfall looks to be a concern. A third wave
approaches starting as early as Wednesday Night. Some uncertainty
with the timing of the wave is still a little questionable, and
not going to argue with extending chance PoPs into the weekend, at
least until the timing becomes a little more certain.
