DISCUSSION...
THIS AFTERNOON A BROAD UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE EXTENDED
SOUTH INTO THE FOUR STATES REGION WITH SMALL SCALE DISTURBANCES
MOVING ALONG IN THE NEARLY WESTERLY FLOW...WHICH HAVE HELPED THE
WARMING TEMPERATURES AND AVAILABLE MOISTURE TO PRODUCE SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. A STRONGER DISTURBANCE MOVING INTO THE
BACK SIDE OF THE TROUGH ACROSS WESTERN OKLAHOMA AND INTO NORTH
TEXAS WAS HELPING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ALONG THE
DRY LINE ACROSS TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA. THIS FEATURE WILL MOVE EAST
ALONG THE RED RIVER OVERNIGHT AND AWAY FROM THE FOUR STATE REGION
ON WEDNESDAY. HAVE INCLUDED THE HIGHER POPS FOR TONIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY WITH THE APPROACH AND PASSAGE OF THE UPPER FEATURE. IN
AN WEAKLY AMPLIFIED UPPER RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO
TEXAS AND THE EASTERN ROCKIES AND INTO THE PLAINS FOR LATE
WEDNESDAY. FOR THE REST OF THE FORECAST PERIODS WILL HAVE THE
HIGHER RAIN CHANCES WITH PASSING DISTURBANCES INTO THE RIDGE ALOFT
WITH A STRONGER LONGWAVE TROUGH DROPPING ACROSS THE WESTERN
STATES. WITH THIS DIRTY RIDGE LASTING INTO THE WEEKEND AND A
SERIES OF FEATURES MOVING INTO THE RIDGE AND ACROSS THE FORECAST
WILL KEEP HIGH RAIN CHANCES THROUGH THE EXTENDED. DURING THE
MIDDLE OF THE WEEKEND A SPLIT FLOW WILL PROVIDE A TROUGH OF LOW
PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL PARTS OF THE COUNTRY AND A SERIES OF
SHORT WAVES OVER THE CENTRAL GULF COAST AREA. HIGHS WILL BE
REMAINING IN THE 80/S WHILE LOWS WILL BE MAINLY IN THE MID 60/S TO
