.SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY)...
STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE CURRENTLY MOVING THROUGH NORTH
CENTRAL AND WESTERN PARTS OF OUR CWA. THESE STORMS ARE FORMING
ALONG A DRYLINE THAT IS MOVING TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST. THESE STORMS
WILL CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS.

UPPER AIR ANALYSIS LAST EVENING SHOWED A TROUGH FROM CO TO
NORTHERN MEXICO WITH SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW OVER TEXAS. THIS FLOW WAS
BRINGING MID-LEVEL MOISTURE FROM THE PACIFIC ACROSS MEXICO. AT
THE SURFACE A DRYLINE EXTENDED FROM NEAR COMANCHE TO JUNCTION TO
DEL RIO AND A COLD FRONT STRETCHED FROM NEAR DALLAS TO COMANCHE TO
MIDLAND. THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN WILL BE A LITTLE
COMPLICATED...BUT REMAIN A TROUGH AND KEEP THE FLOW SOUTHWESTERLY
OVER TEXAS THROUGH THIS PERIOD. THE COLD FRONT WILL OVERTAKE THE
DRYLINE AND SHOULD BE HALF WAY THROUGH OUR CWA AT THE START OF THE
PERIOD. THE FRONT WILL STALL NEAR THE SOUTHERN BORDER OF OUR AREA
TONIGHT. THIS WILL MEAN CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
CONTINUE ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF OUR AREA TODAY. A LOW WILL
FORM ALONG THE STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER MEXICO AND THIS WILL
BRING ANOTHER CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY. MODEL
SOUNDINGS SHOW POSSIBLE STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS SUNDAY AFTERNOON
AND EVENING.

&&

.LONG TERM (SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY)...
THE SURFACE LOW WILL MOVE TO THE SOUTHEAST ALONG THE BOUNDARY
SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. THIS WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF
CONVECTION. SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD BE STRONG TO SEVERE...BUT
THE THREAT IS UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME. THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN
WILL SHIFT TO ZONAL FLOW MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT AND SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER CENTRAL TEXAS. A FEW SHOWERS MAY LINGER
ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN AREA TUESDAY. TUESDAY AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
WILL BEGIN TO BUILD FROM THE SOUTHWEST INTO THE ROCKIES. THE RIDGE
WILL BECOME DOMINANT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK KEEPING THE
WEATHER DRY.
