HAVE ALSO MADE CHANGES TO THE OVERNIGHT LOWS...DEW POINTS...AND
WINDS. LOW ALONG THE RED RIVER WILL BE SHIFTING TO THE EAST WHILE UPPER
TROUGH MOVES EAST ACROSS THE PLAINS AND NORTH TX. WITH THESE SYSTEMS

NORTH TEXAS NEAR SPS...EASTWARD TO NEAR OSA...THEN SOUTHEAST ALONG
OSA-JAS LINE. SKIES HAVE CLEAR WEST OF THE FRONT...BUT A MIXTURE OF
IFR/MVFR CIGS CONTINUE EAST OF THE FRONT. FRONT HAS STALLED ITS
EASTWARD AS OF MID EVENING...BUT MAY RESUME AN EASTWARD MOVEMENT AS
THE SURFACE LOW MOVES EAST NORTHEAST OVERNIGHT. THE CLEARING WEST OF
