.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight and Thursday)

Weak front has sagged into the northern Big Country this afternoon,
with visible satellite showing the boundary draped across Haskell
and Throckmorton Counties. Much drier behind the boundary, but ahead
of the boundary low level instability is increasing with CAPE values
above 3000 j/kg. Having said that, there has been healthy inhibition
in place as well so far today. Not a lot upper support, so will
depend on additional heating and convergence along the front to
initiate convection. Will likely see the first storms develop later
this afternoon across the Big Country near the frontal boundary, and
perhaps farther south along an outflow boundary from last nights
convection that looks to be laying north of Coleman and Brownwood.
As inhibition continues to weaken, storms will begin to increase in
coverage.

Front is expected to stall, perhaps even push back north for a
little while, and then start to move back south by around midnight.
Models show more widespread convection developing along the front at
this point and pushing south. Highest POP's will be across the Big
Country overnight and then pushing south across the remainder of
West Central Texas late tonight and into the day on Thursday. Chance
POPS area wide on Thursday. Increased cloud cover and cooler air
mass will lead to afternoon highs in the 70s and 80s.

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday night and Wednesday)

Rain chances will continue across much of West Central Texas through
the extended forecast. A cold front that will move through much of
the area Thursday, then stall somewhere across our southern
counties Thursday night, aiding in continued shower and
thunderstorm development. Exactly where this front stalls will
dictate where the best PoPs will reside. At this point, the best
PoPs look to be across our southern counties, with rain chances
decreasing as you head north toward the Big Country. A few
lingering storms will be possible Friday, especially across the
Interstate 10 corridor. Highs on Friday will be near to slightly
below seasonal normals, in the low to mid 80s.

The next cold front will approach the northern Big Country Saturday
morning, with an increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms.
Some timing differences continue with this feature, but this front
is forecast to slowly move through the area Saturday into Saturday
night. This in combination with intermittent disturbances moving
across the region in the southwest flow aloft, will bring a chance
of showers and thunderstorms to much of the forecast area. Highs on
Saturday will be mostly in the mid to upper 80s, while highs on
Sunday will be in the mid 70s to lower 80s.

At least scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible for
the first part of next week, as the region remains in southwest flow
aloft. High will mainly be in the 80s with overnight lows mainly in
the 60s.
