LOOKS LIKE A SERIES OF THREE IMPULSES WILL BRING ACTIVE WEATHER TO SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. SEVERAL OLD BOUNDARIES WILL ACT TO FOCUS THE ENERGY OF UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVES WHICH WILL MOVE THROUGH THE LONG WAVE TROUGH WHICH IS EXTENDING FROM THE GREAT LAKES TO NORTH TEXAS. THE FIRST DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE THROUGH OUR CWA THIS EVENING. THIS WILL TRIGGER CONVECTION WHICH IS LIKELY TO BE SEVERE. MODEL SOUNDINGS ARE FORECASTING CAPE VALUES ABOVE 2000 J/KG WITH LITTLE OR NO CONVECTIVE INHIBITION AND 0-6 KM SHEAR OF 30-40 KTS. WE EXPECT THE MAIN THREAT THIS EVENING TO BE WIDESPREAD HIGH WINDS AND ISOLATED LARGE HAIL. THE UPPER LEVEL LONG WAVE WILL BE SLOW TO MOVE TO THE EAST AND THE PATTERN IS EXPECTED TO REPEAT ITSELF MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY NIGHT AS A SECOND AND THIRD SHORT WAVE MOVE THROUGH. THIS WILL BRING A POSSIBILITY OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR EACH OF THESE SYSTEMS. AT THIS TIME THE TUESDAY LOOKS LIKE THE BETTER CHANCE FOR PRECIP...BUT NOT NECESSARILY FOR SEVERE. BY WEDNESDAY THE UPPER TROUGH WILL HAVE SHIFTED EAST AND THE WEATHER WILL TURN BENIGN. NO CHANCE OF PRECIP WITH HIGHS NEAR TO ABOVE NORMAL. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
