.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight)

...Large Hail and Damaging Winds and Tornadoes This Evening...

A dryline and strong upper dynamics will combine to continue
thunderstorms this evening. With surface based CAPE values around
4000 J/Kg across many of our eastern counties this afternoon, any
thunderstorms which develop will rapidly intensify. The dryline this
afternoon extends just west of a line from near Ozona to Sweetwater.
Thunderstorms have developed along and near this dryline and will
move into our western counties within an hour. Movement will be
toward the northeast. Based on all indicators, the greatest tornado
threat lies mainly along and northeast of a line from Haskell, to
Abilene, to Coleman, to Brownwood. In addition, very large hail is
possible northeast of this line. We have issued Tornado watch number
109, which continues until midnight CDT tonight, and includes those
counties lying along and east or northeast of a line from Haskell,
to Roby, to San Angelo, to San Saba. Later tonight, a Pacific cold
front will push from west to east across West Central Texas and
bring another round of thunderstorms. As this front moves across
West Central Texas, thunderstorms will form a line, and this line
will extend from north to south across most of West Central Texas.

(Wednesday)

...Dry and Cooler...

The Pacific front will quickly push convection east of West Central
Texas and bring drier air, along with slightly cooler temperatures.
High tomorrow will be mainly in the mid to upper 80s. winds will be
mainly from the west in the 10 to 15 mph range.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday night through Tuesday)

Generally dry conditions are expected on Thursday ahead of the next
approaching upper level shortwave trough. High temperatures Thursday
afternoon are forecast to be in the upper 80s to near 90. Rain
chances will increase Thursday night across the area as the
aforementioned upper level trough moves closer and large scale lift
results in scattered showers and thunderstorms. A few strong to
severe thunderstorms are possible.

Friday afternoon, a Pacific front will move through West Central
Texas, with scattered showers and thunderstorms developing along and
ahead of this feature. This will result in a better chance of strong
to severe thunderstorms, especially across the eastern half of the
forecast area. In addition, locally heavy rainfall will be possible.
Highs on Friday will mainly be in the mid to upper 80s. Generally
dry conditions are expected this weekend, with highs mainly in the
upper 70s to mid 80s, and overnight lows in the 50s.

The next upper level trough will approach the Southern Plains early
next week. Differences continue in the exact timing and track of
this system, but a wetter/cooler pattern looks likely for the first
part of next week.
