WRAP AROUND CLOUDINESS IS MOVING ACROSS THE BIG COUNTRY AND THE NORTHERN CONCHO VALLEY THIS MORNING WITH SOME LIGHT RAIN/SPRINKLES OCCURING ACROSS THE FAR NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE BIG COUNTRY. SATELLITE AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE AREA OF DENSE FOG FORMING FROM BROWN COUNTY TO SAN SABA COUNTY...AND THERE IS A LITTLE WESTWARD DEVELOPMENT TO THIS. WILL HAVE TO MONITIOR THIS TO SEE HOW WIDE SPREAD THIS BECOMES BEFORE THE WRAP AROUND CLOUDS MOVE IN TO HELP OFFSET THE FOG DEVELOPMENT. OTHERWISE WILL MAINTAIN A LOW POP ACROSS THE FAR NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE BIG COUNTRY...HOWVER AMOUNTS IF ANY WILL BE REALLY LOW. ALSO WILL HAVE HIGH CLOUDS OVERSPREADING THE REGION AS WELL COURTESY OF THE SOUTHERN BRANCH OF THE JET STREAM. THINKING IS TEMPERATURES CLOSE TO YESTERDAY NUMBERS WILL BE GOOD FOR TODAY. STILL EXPECTING A WEAK FRONT TO MOVE THROUGH TONIGHT...BUT WILL QUICKLY BE SHOVED BACK TO THE NORTH AS LEE SIDE TROUGHINESS TAKES SHAPE AS ANOTHER 50H TROUGH DIVES INTO THE WESTERN U.S. WEAK DISTURBANCES IN THE SOUTHERN BRANCH OF THE JET MAY SPARK SOME RAIN/THUNDER ACIVITY LATE IN THE SHORT TERM PERIODS (FRIDAY NIGHT/SATURDAY MORNING). BEST CHANCES FOR THIS LOOKS TO BE OVER THE HILL COUNTRY AT THIS TIME WITH EVEN BETTER CHANCES CLOSER TO THE COAST. && .LONG TERM...ANOTHER FRONT STILL EXPECTED LATE WEEKEND. JURY STILL OUT ON HOW COLD IT WILL BE...AND TRENDED TEMEPRATURES BACK UP A LITTLE. POST FRONTAL CLOUDS AND SHOWERS WILL INCREASE INTO MONDAY AND TUESDAY AS ANOTHER UPPER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DEVELOPS. AT THIS TIME...APPEARS THAT THIS ONE WILL BE MORE TRANSIENT THAN ITS PREDDECESSOR. SO ONLY TWO ONLY TWO TO THREE DAYS OF PRECIPITATION AS A RESULT OF THIS FEATURE IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.
