UPPER TROUGH AXIS IS NOW PUSHING ACROSS SE TX...AND ASSOCIATED
CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY HAS SHIFTED WELL EAST OF THE AREA. RAPID
DRYING OCCURRING JUST ABOVE THE SFC WITH PWS NOW BELOW AN INCH
AREA WIDE. COLD FRONT EXTENDS FROM ABOUT DENTON TO JUNCTION AND
MOVING QUICKLY TO THE EAST. FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO NW
ZONES BY 13-14Z AND REACH THE COAST BY MIDDAY. A MIXTURE OF VERY
LOW STRATUS AND FOG OCCURRING OVER CWA THIS MORNING AHEAD OF THE
FRONT...WITH VISIBILITIES BOUNCING UP AND DOWN QUITE A BIT. WILL
GO AHEAD AND KEEP DENSE FOG ADVISORY GOING UNTIL 13Z JUST FOR THE
WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA. FOG/LOW CLOUDS WILL BURN OFF RAPIDLY BY
MID MORNING AS FRONT SWEEPS ACROSS THE AREA. BEYOND THAT...EXPECT
GREAT WEATHER THROUGH MIDWEEK AS SFC HIGH AND DRY/CONTINENTAL
AIRMASS SPREAD INTO SE TX. WILL SEE PLENTY OF SUNSHINE WITH LOW
AFTERNOON HUMIDITY LEVELS. EXPECT A COUPLE OF COOL NIGHTS TONIGHT
AND MONDAY NIGHT WITH READINGS DROPPING INTO THE UPPER 40S/LOWER
50S OVER RURAL INLAND AREAS. ONSHORE FLOW WILL RETURN WEDNESDAY
AS SFC HIGH MOVES EAST. INITIALLY THE ONSHORE WINDS WILL SIMPLY
RECYCLE DRY AIR INTO THE AREA...SO MOISTURE RETURN WILL BE VERY
SLOW THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK. BASICALLY MORE GREAT WEATHER TO
CLOSE OUT THE WEEK...WITH JUST A SLIGHT INCREASE IN CLOUDS AND
HUMIDITY LEVELS THURSDAY/FRIDAY. LATEST ECMWF SHOWS A SIGNIFICANT
DISTURBANCE CROSSING TEXAS NEXT WEEKEND BUT THIS IS NOT SUPPORTED
BY THE OTHER MODELS. HAVE KEPT 20 POPS GOING IN THE FORECAST NEXT
WEEKEND AS MOISTURE MAY BE SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO SUPPORT A FEW
STREAMER SHOWERS. EXPECT A RETURN OF LATE NIGHT/MORNING LOW
STRATUS DEVELOPMENT NEXT WEEKEND AS WELL.
