.AVIATION...
/00Z TAFS/

Scattered thunderstorms continue to develop along a surface
boundary from KJCT to KSOA and should continue for a few more
hours. Showers and/or thunderstorms were carried for these sites
through 02z with benign wx included during the overnight hours. A
complex of thunderstorms will move south across the Big Country
late tonight, but confidence is relatively low at all forecast
terminals outside of KABI, where VCTS was included for a few hours
around 12z.

A cold front will move south into the CWA early Saturday,
shifting winds from the northeast at 10-15 kts and resulting in
low clouds across the area. Low clouds were maintained all day at
KABI and KBBD, with VFR conditions included at the remaining sites
by midday. Additional convection will be possible in the vicinity
of this cold front tomorrow. Rain chances favor the southern
terminals, where a VCSH was included.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 357 PM CDT FRI MAY 13 2016/

SHORT TERM...
(Tonight and Saturday)

Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible
this afternoon across mainly the southern half of West Central
Texas. Most of this convection is expected to dissipate shortly
after sunset. A cold front is forecast to approach the northern
Big Country after midnight, with showers and thunderstorms
developing along and ahead of the front. A complex of
thunderstorms may develop late this evening, somewhere across the
the Panhandle or the South Plains, then move south during the
early morning hours. A few of these storms may become strong to
severe, with large hail and damaging winds being the main
concerns. Locally heavy rainfall will also be possible, which
could exacerbate any flooding from rainfall earlier in the week.
Overnight low temperatures will be in the low to mid 60s.

On Saturday, a cold front will be across the Big Country and
slowly move south, approaching the Interstate 10 corridor by mid
to late afternoon. Additional shower and thunderstorm development
is expected by early afternoon along and just behind the front.
Again, a few strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible, with
large hail and damaging winds being the main hazards. Locally
heavy rainfall will also be possible. High temperatures will range
from the upper 60s to near 70 across the Big Country to the low to
mid 80s across the Interstate 10 corridor.

LONG TERM...
(Saturday night through Friday)

Unsettled weather will continue across West Central Texas through
much of the extended period. A stalled frontal boundary will
bisect the forecast area on Sunday and will be a focus for
convective development once again, aided by some weak disturbances
moving across the area into Sunday night. The best instability
and shear for Sunday afternoon and evening will be across
the Edwards Plateau south of the stalled front and this is where
the best potential for a few organized severe storms is expected.
The main threats will be large hail and damaging winds. Convection
should remain elevated north of the front but still could see a
few strong to marginally severe storms capable of producing some
hail.

Southwest flow aloft will prevail across the Southern Plains
Monday through the middle of next week, ahead of a digging upper
level trough across the Intermountain West and southwest states.
This will result in periodic disturbances moving across the area
through the period. This combined with another front moving into
the area on Tuesday, will result in additional shower and
thunderstorm development through Wednesday.

The medium range models show the upper trough moving east from
the Southern Rockies and into the Southern Plains Wednesday night
into Thursday, which will keep rain chances in the forecast
through early Friday. The potential exists for some severe storms
across the area next week but at this time it is still too
premature to determine the extent and potential threats at this
time.
