A cold front, located across the northern portions of the Texas Panhandle, will move across the remainder of the forecast area this morning before becoming stationary. The frontal boundary will then lift back to the north and east this afternoon and tonight. The frontal boundary will then resume a southward movement again Saturday across the Panhandles. A dry line will set up off the caprock across the far eastern Panhandles later today and this evening. An upper trough, moving across the Intermountain Region and the central Rockies later today through Saturday, will approach the Panhandles by Saturday night. Convection will develop this afternoon/later today and this evening across the Oklahoma and the northeast/eastern Texas Panhandles. Additional convection should develop Saturday afternoon and evening across the Oklahoma and northern Texas Panhandles. Drier and cooler conditions Sunday behind the cold front and the upper trough as it tracks east across the forecast area. Northwesterly flow aloft and shortwave trough approaching from the southern Rockies early next week should allow for convection off the higher terrain and mountains of southern Colorado and northern New Mexico to spread east and southeast across the Panhandles by Monday afternoon through Tuesday night. Southern stream becomes active by the middle of next week as another cold front moves through the forecast area late Tuesday/early Wednesday and upper trough remains across the southern Rockies Tuesday through Wednesday and then tracks into the Panhandles by Thursday. Convection chances increase next Tuesday through Thursday with the more active southern stream. Schneider && .AMA Watches/Warnings/Advisories... TX...None. OK...None. && $$ 29/3
