A WEAK COLD FRONT OVER WEST TEXAS IS FORECAST TO STALL ALONG THE
NORTHWESTERN PORTION OF THE CWA TONIGHT. THIS STATIONARY BOUNDARY

WITH FEW OTHER IMPACTS. HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE STILL FORECAST TO
CLIMB BACK TO THE UPPER 80S TO LOW 90S AGAIN TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
A STRONGER COLD FRONT IS FORECAST PUSH THROUGH DEEP SOUTH TEXAS
TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. RAIN CHANCES ARE FORECAST TO
INCREASE TO AROUND 40-60% ALONG THE FRONT, WITH THE LATEST RUNS OF
HIRES MODELS DEPICTING A CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING
AHEAD OF AND ALONG THE FRONT TUESDAY NIGHT. CAPE VALUES AHEAD OF
THE FRONT COULD INCREASE TO AROUND 2500 J/KG, HOWEVER LIMITED WIND
SHEAR AND MODERATE LAPSE RATES WILL LIKELY LIMIT THE INTENSITY OF
THESE STORMS, LIKELY KEEPING THEM SUB-SEVERE.

ARE FORECAST WEDNESDAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES LOOK TO RANGE FROM THE
LOW 70S TO LOW 80S WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, WITH LOW TEMPERATURES

OF THE NORTHERN COUNTIES COULD DROP INTO THE UPPER 40S WEDNESDAY
NIGHT, AND AREAS ALONG THE COAST AND THE LOWER RGV COULD REMAIN IN
THE LOW 60S.
