ANOTHER FRONTAL BOUNDARY SLOWLY MOVES SOUTH ACROSS
PLAINS...REACHING NORTHERN CWA BY MONDAY NIGHT...WITH UPPER RIDGE
PARKING OVER NORTHERN MEX. PCPN WATER VALUES NEAR THIS FRONT WILL

EXTENDS FROM NEAR LBR...TO JUST W OF TXK AND MNE...ACROSS NCNTRL LA
TO JUST S OF HEZ AND MCB AS OF 19Z. THIS BNDRY SHOULD SLOWLY DRIFT W

ABUNDANT W OF THE FRONT ACROSS E TX/WRN LA...WITH ISOLATED
CONVECTION POSSIBLY DEVELOPING AFTER 21Z OVER THESE AREAS AND
PROGRESSING SLOWLY WSW. ANY CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPS COULD AFFECT
THE E TX TERMINALS THROUGH MID TO LATE EVENING...BUT CONFIDENCE IN

SCT/BKN CU FIELD SHOULD PERSIST ACROSS MUCH OF E TX OVERNIGHT...WITH
ADDITIONAL AREAS OF CIRRUS FROM CONVECTION OVER WCNTRL TX SPREADING
