.SHORT TERM...
(Today and Tonight)

At 2 am, radar imagery showed a cluster of strong to severe
thunderstorms over Stonewall County, while isolated storms were
starting to develop in Pecos and Crane counties. Hi-res model
guidance continues to suggest that these storms will eventually
merge into a line which will move into our western counties by
around 3 am as the short-wave trough axis moves northeast into the
Texas Panhandle. This line will then move east through much of the
forecast area through 9 or 10 am. Hi-res models also suggest that
the I-10 corridor may be spared from much of the thunderstorm
activity, as our central and especially northern counties get the
brunt of the thunderstorm line. Currently, our western counties have
1000-1500 J/KG of MU CAPE and 40 kt of 0-6 km shear, and this is not
expected to change much through the morning hours. Thus, there
remains a threat of strong to severe thunderstorms across the
forecast area through the mid morning hours. SPC still has our
counties west of a Brownwood to Junction line in a slight risk for
severe weather through 7 am, and then the counties east of that line
in a slight risk after 7 am. Main threats from the storms are
damaging winds and large hail, although an isolated tornado cannot
be ruled out.

After 10 am or so, the rest of the day will likely be dry across our
region, although there remains a small chance of an isolated
thunderstorm/shower or two over our eastern counties into the
evening hours as another short-wave trough moves south of the
region. Skies will at least partially clear as well from west to
east, allowing temperatures to rise into the low 80s this afternoon.
Tonight, we're forecasting lows in the upper 50s.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday through Friday)

The secondary portion of the upper trough will move across
Sunday...then slow down and deepen over Northeast Texas Sunday
night. Will continue mention of a few showers over southeast zones
from Junction...Brady...to Brownwood and San Saba Sunday and a
few showers across Haskell and Throckmorton counties Sunday night
in association with this.

It will be still warm Sunday with highs near 80....along with
southwest winds and partly cloudy skies. A weak cold front move
into the Big Country late Sunday afternoon and through the region
Sunday night. This will have little affect on temperatures
Monday...with highs again near 80.

Temperatures will continue to warm into the lower 90s Tuesday and
Wednesday as 850 MB thermal trough move in. This will be helps by
strong downslope west winds Wednesday as a surface low moves
through Kansas. A cold front Thursday will keep highs in the 70s
through Friday. The next chance of rain appears to be Saturday as
an upper through moves through.
