A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS FRONTAL BOUNDARY MAY SERVE AS A FOCUS FOR FURTHER RAIN THROUGH TUESDAY. MOISTURE REMAINS OVER THE REGION THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE. && .DISCUSSION... A WEST FLOW BEHIND A LOW OVER THE CENTRAL ROCKIES HAS PUSHED THE MOISTURE PLUME FURTHER EAST INTO TEXAS AND BROUGHT DRIER AIR TO THE STATE TODAY. RAIN CHANCES WEST OF THE RIO GRANDE ARE PRETTY MUCH NON-EXISTENT AND DIMINISHED OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. A PORTION OF THE MOISTURE PLUME REMAINS NEAR EL PASO AND HUDSPETH COUNTIES WHICH MAY SEE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HEAVY RAIN IN SOME AREAS TONIGHT. THE MOISTURE PLUME WILL REMAIN LARGELY EAST THROUGH MUCH OF MONDAY WITH MINIMAL RAIN CHANCES WEST OF THE RIO GRANDE. BY MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH SOUTH INTO THE REGION. BESIDES BRINGING COOLER TEMPERATURES WITH IT FOR TUESDAY THE FRONT MAY GENERATE ADDITIONAL LIFT THAT COULD ENHANCE CHANCES FOR RAIN LATE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. MODEL QPFS REMAIN FAIRLY HIGH FOR THAT PERIOD EVEN IF THE CURRENT RUN OF THE MODEL HAS THE FOCUS A BIT FURTHER SOUTH THAN PREVIOUS RUNS.
