MORE OF THE SAME TOMORROW AS THE PLUME CONTINUES TO SHIFT SWD. ANOTHER HOT DAY WITH TEMPS APPROACHING THE 100 DEG MARK ONCE AGAIN OVER THE PLAINS. WILL START TO SEE WINDS SHIFT TO THE N DURING THE AFTERNOON AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTH. THIS FRONTAL SYSTEM FOR SAT NIGHT WILL SET THE STAGE FOR A PROLONGED WET PERIOD IN THE EXTENDED.
