.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 153 PM CDT Mon May 3 2021

Cold front has sagged into the Big Country and northern Permian
Basin late this afternoon, with satellite showing a little
agitated Cu development from Snyder and Big Spring west into New
Mexico just north of the front. High-res models continue to
produce convection along this boundary across the northern
Permian basin late this afternoon, tracking into the Big Country
this evening. The HRRR has consistently shown a possible supercell
moving across Haskell and Throckmorton after 00Z. Have added POPs
across all of the Big Country this evening, boosted POPs slightly
across Haskell and Throckmorton and added a mention of severe.
Speaking of severe, main threat tonight for the Big Country looks
to be very large hail.

Farther southeast, the front is very near Brownwood and the
dryline is near San Saba, but both of those locations remain in
the moist air mass. Models have shown almost all of the convection
developing just east of their locations this evening as well,
pushing quickly northeast. Still will need to monitor though in
case the cap breaks quicker and storms can develop a little faster
than anticipated.

Decently colder air mass behind the front, with temperatures in
the 70s this afternoon. This air mass will settle south overnight
and help make for a cooler day tomorrow, aided by some low
cloudiness for at least the morning hours. Highs on Tuesday will
mainly stay in the 70s.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday night through next Monday)
Issued at 131 PM CDT Mon May 3 2021

A cool morning is forecast across West Central Texas on Wednesday.
Expect low temperatures in the mid 40s to lower 50s. High
temperatures will be in the upper 70s to mid 80s. A weak cold front
is forecast to move through the area Thursday, keeping temperatures
close to seasonal normals. Highs on Thursday and Friday will
generally be in the 80s. Models are indicating the development of
showers and thunderstorms Friday evening to our west, as an upper
level disturbance tracks across the region. Although an isolated
storm could approach Crockett County, most of this activity should
remain to our west.

Zonal flow is forecast to develop this weekend, with the dryline
advancing well into West Central Texas both Saturday and Sunday
afternoon. This will allow for hot and dry conditions this
weekend, with highs generally in the low to mid 90s. The next cold
front will move across the region on Monday. Temperatures for the
start of next week will be slightly cooler, with highs generally
in the 80s. Isolated showers and thunderstorms will be possible
along the front Monday, mainly across our southeast counties. For
now, have kept PoPs in the slight chance category, given the
uncertainty this far out.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 530 PM CDT Mon May 3 2021

Hi Res models are indicating isolated to widely scattered storms
moving east across the Big Country through 06Z. Looks like this
activity will remain north of the KABI terminal, but will watch
radar trends for possible amendments this evening. Otherwise, cold
front will move to the south of the area by 07Z. The winds will be
from the north with gusts to 25 knots behind the front. Also, MVFR
ceilings will develop at the terminals, by 05Z at the KABI site to
12-13Z at the KSOA/KJCT sites.
