COLD FRONT...REINFORCED BY CONVECTIVE OUTFLOWS...CONTINUES TO SURGE SOUTH ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS. STORMS OVER BROWN AND COLEMAN COUNTIES DEVELOPED ALONG THE FRONT IN THE REALLY JUICY AIR MASS THAT HAD BEEN UNTOUCHED BY THE CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPED LATE THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE CONCHO VALLEY. ALL ACTIVITY SHOULD LINGER A FEW MORE HOURS BEFORE AIR MASS BEGINS TO STABILIZE. && .PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 633 PM CDT THU SEP 15 2005) AVIATION... CLUSTER OF SHOWERS AND STORMS HAS DEVELOPED ALONG AN OLD OUTFLOW BOUNDARY NEAR SJT OVER THE LAST HOUR. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD SHIFT EAST AND NORTHEAST NEAR OR ACROSS THE AIRPORT THROUGH 02Z. COLD FRONT HAS MADE IT THROUGH ABI...WITH THUNDERSTORM CHANCES DIMINISHING AS THE FRONT MOVES FARTHER SOUTH. POST FRONTAL LOW CLOUDS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS TOWARDS SUNRISE...DROPPING CEILINGS INTO THE MVFR CATEGORY. THESE LOW CLOUDS WILL LIKELY PERSIST THROUGH A GOOD PART OF THE MORNING BEFORE BURNING OFF. PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 619 PM CDT THU SEP 15 2005) UPDATE... QUICK UPDATE TO BOOST POPS ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN CONCHO VALLEY FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS. CLUSTER OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVING DEVELOPED WITHIN THE LAST HOUR BETWEEN SAN ANGELO AND ELDORADO...SHIFTING OFF TO THE EAST AND NORTHEAST. PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 340 PM CDT THU SEP 15 2005) COLD FRONT...EXTENDING FROM THE ARKLATEX REGION WESTWARD ALONG INTERSTATE 20 INTO WEST TEXAS AT MID-AFTERNOON...IS PROGRESSING SLOWLY SOUTHWARD. THUNDERSTORMS ARE OCCURRING ALONG AND JUST BEHIND THIS FRONT ACROSS NORTH TEXAS. SOME BACKBUILDING IS OCCURRING TOWARD THE EASTERN BIG COUNTRY. CARRYING 20-40 POPS ACROSS EASTERN HALF OF WEST CENTRAL TEXAS THIS EVENING INTO TONIGHT WITH THE BEST CHANCE FOR SCATTERED STORMS IN THE HEARTLAND COUNTIES. THE VERTICAL SHEAR IS LESS FAVORABLE THAN YESTERDAY ACROSS OUR REGION AND SOME CAPPING STILL EXISTS. BUT A FEW STRONG TO MARGINALLY SEVERE STORMS WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE IF DEVELOPMENT OCCURS.

THE GFS MODEL HAS THIS HIGH CENTERED OVER EAST TEXAS EARLY NEXT WEEK...THEN RETROGRADES IT WESTWARD OVER WEST CENTRAL TEXAS BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THIS SPELLS A HOT AND DRY PATTERN FOR OUR REGION WITH TEMPERATURES 5-10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS PART OF SEPTEMBER. ANTICIPATE FEWER CLOUDS WITH A GRADUALLY DRYING AIRMASS. THIS SHOULD ALSO FACILITATE A LITTLE LARGER DIURNAL SWING IN TEMPERATURES. CARRYING TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY ABOVE GUIDANCE ON DAYS 6-7...AS THE MEX GUIDANCE APPEARS TO BE TRENDING TOO QUICKLY BACK TOWARD CLIMATOLOGY (GIVEN POSITION OF THE UPPER LEVEL HIGH ALMOST OVERHEAD).
