AVIATION...
/00Z TAFS/

Isolated thunderstorms possible at KABI early this evening as a

toward 9Z, affecting most TAF sites, and continuing through
Sunday morning. MVFR stratus will move up after midnight. MVFR
should rise to VFR around 18Z at KSJT and KSOA and mid afternoon
at KJCT and KBBD.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 347 PM CDT Sat May 9 2015/

SHORT TERM...
(Tonight and Tomorrow)

.Severe Thunderstorm Threat...

The main concern through the next 24 hours is the chance of strong
to severe thunderstorms. A Tornado Watch is currently in effect
generally north and east of a Haskell, to Ballinger, to Brownwood
line. A dryline is moving through West Central Texas and is forecast
to make it into our eastern counties by mid to late afternoon. Ahead
of the dryline, a moist and unstable atmosphere resides, with
towering cumulus already developing across parts of the Heartland
and Big Country. Showers and thunderstorms are forecast to develop
this afternoon and gradually move east. SBCAPE values across these
locations are in the 3000-4000 J/KG range, with 0-6 KM bulk shear
values of 35 to 45, and steep lapse rates. Given these parameters,
any storms that do develop have the potential to become severe, with
large hail, damaging winds and tornadoes being the main concerns.
Showers and thunderstorms may linger into early this evening, with
most convection moving east of the area by mid evening.

The aforementioned dryline is forecast to retreat west this evening.
As the dryline retreats west, a Pacific front will move across West
Texas. These two features will collide, somewhere across our western
counties, with showers and thunderstorms developing. In addition, a
100-115 knot jet streak will approach the Big Bend region, putting
much of the area in the favorable left front quadrant. Strong to
severe thunderstorms will be possible, developing generally along a
line from Sweetwater, to Sterling City, to Ozona, mainly after
midnight. Movement of the individual cells will be northeast, with a
slow advancement of the complex east. Given the slow movement and
the possibility of locally heavy rainfall, some flooding will be
possible, especially across urban areas. A Flash Flood watch was
issued for mainly the northern Big Country. These locations have
seen an average of 3 to 6 inches of rainfall over the last few days,
with additional heavy rainfall possible this afternoon/evening, then
again Sunday morning. Farther south, although locally heavy rainfall
will be possible, opted to not issue a Flash Flood Watch at this
time given the lower rainfall amounts that have occurred over the
last few days. Showers and thunderstorms will shift east through the
day Monday, with the best PoPs across our eastern counties during
the afternoon.

LONG TERM...
(Sunday night through Saturday)

The long term forecast still remains essentially unchanged, with
showers and thunderstorms possible each period. First of all, the
next cold front still looks likely for passage on Monday. The
front will bring cooler air, along with gusty winds from the north
on Monday. Meanwhile, the first upper trough axis will finally
move northeast of Texas Sunday night. Then, models continue to
develop another trough aloft over the western United States,
during the first part of next week. This developing trough will,
as we've been indicating in previous discussions, help maintain
southwest flow aloft over Texas into next weekend. Short-wave
disturbances, in this southwest flow aloft, will enhance the
potential for showers and thunderstorms into the start of next
weekend.

Temperatures for the long term remain, for the most part,
unremarkable. The front will produce highs a category or two
cooler than seasonal normals through mid week. Otherwise, expect
highs closer to seasonal normals.
