.SHORT TERM (Today through Saturday)...
Upper air analysis last evening showed a negatively tilted trough
extending from Utah to South Texas. The flow over Texas was generally
from the southwest. At the surface, high pressure was centered to the
northeast and winds across our CWA were from the east to southeast.
Dewpoint temperatures were 5-15 degrees higher than 24 hours ago.
During this period the upper trough will be reinforced by another
trough moving down from the northwest. The low level flow will remain
from the southeast and this combination will produce a chance for
showers and thunderstorms over the eastern half of our area. The best
chances will be during the day today and Saturday. With the
southeasterly flow temperatures will increase and be well above
normal.

&&

.LONG TERM (Saturday Night through Thursday)...
The upper trough will move across the plains Saturday and Sunday. It
will bring a cold front through our CWA Saturday night and Sunday
morning. The front will bring a widespread chance for rain. Behind
the front breezy northerly winds will bring in cooler, drier air. The
upper flow will become northwesterly Monday. Another dry cold front
will move through the region Tuesday keeping temperatures down
through the end of the period.
