The Storm Prediction Center has all of West Central Texas in an Enhanced Risk Area, through sunrise Sunday morning. The main hazards are tornadoes, very large hail, damaging winds, and deadly lightning. (Sunday) ...Breezy and Another Cold Front... As another cold front, this one unusually strong for mid April, moves closer to West Central Texas, gusty winds, from the west, will develop Sunday. Then, the cold front may begin to move into the Big Country, by mid afternoon. Although this front will be a dry front, it will bring gusty winds from the north, along with uncharacteristically cold temperatures, for mid April. .LONG TERM... (Sunday night through Saturday) ...Much Cooler Temperatures then a Warmup... Much cooler temperatures will dominate through mid week, before a warming trend begins. Overnight lows Monday night, likely in the mid to upper 30s, will be unusually cold, for mid April. Plus, the wind chill Monday night, may be in the mid to upper 20s. Cooler than usual temperatures will continue until Wednesday; then, a warming trend will push temperatures back above usual mid April temperatures for Friday and Saturday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
