MAIN AREA OF RAIN OVER SW AR/SE OK IN ASSOCIATION WITH UPPER LOW HAS BEEN LIFTING TO THE NORTHEAST THIS AFTN. ANOTHER AREA OF CONVECTION THAT FIRED ACROSS DEEP EAST TEXAS...SOUTH OF I20 HAS BEEN RAPIDLY MOVING NORTHEAST TOWARD TXK DURING THE AFTN. THIS AREA OF RAINFALL HAS BROUGHT AN ADDITIONAL .5 TO 1 INCH OF RAIN. WIDESPREAD CLOUD COVER AND RAIN HAS KEPT TEMPS MAINLY IN THE UPPER 70S/LOWER 80S EXCEPT FOR THE FAR SOUTHERN ZONES WHERE READINGS HAVE REACHED THE MID/UPPER 80S.
