UPPER TROUGH MOVES ACROSS THE PLAINS WEDNESDAY WITH A CUT OFF LOW
MEANDERING NEAR THE BAJA PENINSULA THROUGH LATE WEEK. AT THE SURFACE,
A DRYLINE WILL BE OVER THE SOUTHERN EDWARDS PLATEAU TUESDAY NIGHT
WHERE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS COULD DEVELOP AND MOVE INTO THE HILL
COUNTRY BY WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH LOW PRECIPITATION CHANCES
SPREADING EAST TO THE PORTIONS OF THE I-35 CORRIDOR AND COASTAL
PLAINS WEDNESDAY. THAT SAID, THE PRESENCE OF A STRONG CAP LOOKS TO
BE IN PLACE AHEAD OF THE DRYLINE WHICH WILL LIKELY LIMIT THE ABILITY
FOR STORMS TO DEVELOP.

COOLING TEMPERATURES FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK. HIGHS IN THE
70S AND LOW 80S ARE EXPECTED THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, WITH LOWS IN THE
UPPER 50S AND 60S. LOW RAIN CHANCES CONTINUE LATE WEEK DUE TO THE

THIS UPPER LOW MAY FINALLY SHIFT OVER TEXAS THIS WEEKEND BRINGING
CONTINUED OPPORTUNITIES FOR RAIN.
