.DISCUSSION...
WE WILL BE DROPPING COUNTIES ALONG AND NORTHWEST OF A SHERMAN TO
WEATHERFORD...GLEN ROSE AND GOLDTHWAITE LINE FROM THE TORNADO WATCH WITH
THE RELEASE OF THE AFTERNOON FORECAST PACKAGE.

THE COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH SOUTHEAST AT NEARLY 30 MPH
AT MID AFTERNOON AND IT SHOULD CLEAR THE FAR SOUTHEASTERN COUNTIES
EARLY THIS EVENING...AROUND 7PM. THE CONVECTION HAS MOSTLY BEEN A
STRAIGHT LINE WIND PRODUCER WITH MANY SITES REPORTING GUSTS 50-70
MPH. DENTON ASOS REPORTED A GUST TO 73 MPH AT 138 PM. WE WILL
CONTINUE TO RIDE WITH A TORNADO WATCH FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE CWA
LATE THIS AFTERNOON SINCE A DISCRETE CELL OR TWO COULD DEVELOP
AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT.

COOLER TEMPERATURES AND NORTHWEST WINDS WILL SPREAD OVER MOST OF
THE CWA BEHIND THE COLD FRONT THIS EVENING. EXPECTING THE COOLEST
OVERNIGHT LOWS...MID 50S TO LOWER 60S...OVER THE NORTHWEST ONE
HALF IN THE MORNING WHERE SKIES SHOULD CLEAR TONIGHT.

A LONGWAVE RIDGE WILL BUILD OVER THE ROCKIES ON WEDNESDAY WITH
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT OVER THE REGION THROUGH THURSDAY. WEAK
IMPULSES IN THIS UPPER FLOW COULD RESULT IN ELEVATED SHOWERS OR
THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND AGAIN ON THURSDAY NIGHT. THE
THURSDAY NIGHT SYSTEM MAY DEVELOP INTO AN MCS OVER THE TEXAS PANHANDLE
AND SOME OF THIS ACTIVITY MAY SPREAD OVER THE CWA ON FRIDAY AS A
BACKDOOR COLD FRONT SLIDES INTO THE NORTHEAST COUNTIES.

THE UPCOMING MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND IS LOOKING DRY AND SEASONABLY
WARM...BUT MANY TIMES IN THE PAST THIS WEEKEND HAS TURNED OUT TO
BE A STORMY ONE. FOR NOW WILL KEEP SAT-MON DRY WITH HIGHS IN THE
UPPER 90S TO MID 90S AND LOWS IN THE MID 60S TO LOWER 70S.
