A potent upper level storm system will bring showers and
thunderstorms to the terminals overnight into the early morning
hours. A few storm may become severe, with large hail and damaging
winds possible. Showers and storms will end across the terminals
by late morning, then light rain is expected across the KABI
terminal during the afternoonhours behind the upper low as it
tracks northeast across the area. Also, a surface cold front will
move south across the terminals during the morning hours, with
gusty north to northwest winds developing. Expect MVFR ceilings
across the terminals for much of the forecast period, except at
KABI where ceilings will lowering to IFR after 12Z and continue

AVIATION...
00Z TAFS/

The shower and isolated thunderstorm activity across the northern
Concho Valley and western Big Country this evening will generally
stay west of KABI. Showers and thunderstorms are forecast to
develop, mainly after midnight, across western portions of the
region, then move east through the morning hours. A few of the
thunderstorms may be severe with an attendant risk of large hail
and damaging winds. Most of the activity will move east of the
area by late morning. In addition, low cloud development is
expected during the early morning hours, which will result in MVFR
ceilings.

During the day Saturday, a cold front will advance south across
the remainder of West Central Texas, reaching I-10 around mid-
afternoon. Gusth north to northwest winds will occur behind this
cold front. An area of wrap around rain will overspread the Big
Country in the afternoon. IFR conditions are expected at KABI,
amd MVFR ceilings are possible as far south as KSJT. Cloud
ceilings should remain above 3000 ft at our southern terminals.

SHORT TERM...
(Tonight and Saturday)

.Severe thunderstorms possible overnight...

A potent upper level trough currently located across the Desert
Southwest will approach West Central Texas tonight into Saturday
morning. Ahead of this feature, a disturbance in the southwest flow
aloft will track across the area this evening. This may result in
isolated to scattered shower and thunderstorm development along and
just behind a cold front that will be moving into the Big Country. A
few strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible. The greater
threat of severe weather will be between midnight and 8 AM as the
better lift from the aforementioned upper level trough moves into
the region. High resolution models are indicating showers and
thunderstorms initiating to our west, across the Trans-
Pecos/Permian Basin, with scattered to numerous showers and
thunderstorms then tracking east across the area during the
morning hours. Initially, supercells will be possible, then storms
may congeal into a line or broken line of storms. MUCAPE values
will increase to 1000-2000 J/KG along with steep lapse rates and
0-6 KM Bulk Shear values between 45 and 55 knots. This will lead
to the possibility of strong to severe thunderstorms, with large
hail and damaging winds being the main concerns. There remains the
potential for a tornado, especially near the stalled front which
is forecast to be across central portions of the forecast area. In
addition, 0-1 KM Storm Relative Helicity values across much of
the area will be in the 350-500 range.

The line of showers and thunderstorms should exit our area to the
east by late morning or early afternoon. Scattered showers and
thunderstorms may linger into the afternoon hours, especially across
the Big Country, as the upper level trough/low tracks across the
region. Much cooler temperatures are expected behind the front on
Saturday, with extensive cloud cover expected. Highs will range from
the mid 40s to lower 50s across the Big Country to near 70 in our
southeast counties.

LONG TERM...
(Saturday Night through Thursday)

As the upper low moves off to the northeast Saturday night, wrap-
around moisture and rainfall will be possible across the Big
Country mainly during the evening hours. Most rainfall should end
by midnight Saturday night. Clouds clearing from west to east
will allow for enhanced radiational cooling. This, in addition to
the colder air mass that moved in, will allow lows to fall into
the upper 30s across much of the region Sunday morning.

Dry, warming pattern expected Sunday through Tuesday, with weak
ridging aloft and gradually increasing moisture in low level
southerly flow from the Gulf. Highs Sunday expected to be in the
upper 60s to low 70s, then low to mid 80s Monday and Tuesday.

Another upper level trough will drop down through the Central
Plains Tuesday night through Wednesday night, but precipitation
chances look to stay just east of our forecast area where moisture
will be higher. Highs Wednesday expected to be in the low to mid
80s again.

A cold front is projected to move down from the north Wednesday
night, bringing slightly cooler, drier conditions. Expect highs
Thursday in the 70s. No precipitation expected with this front.
