AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE FOUR CORNERS REGION
IS FORECAST TO EVENTUALLY EJECT EASTWARD INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
BY THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. MULTIPLE SHORTWAVES ROTATING AROUND THE
LOW WILL MOVE ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS PARTICULARLY ON MONDAY
AND MONDAY NIGHT. MEANWHILE, MOISTURE LEVELS WILL CONTINUE TO
INCREASE ACROSS OUR AREA IN ADVANCE OF THE UPPER LOW. AS LARGE
SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT INCREASES SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE
FORECAST TO DEVELOP MONDAY AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS. A
POSSIBLE FOCUS FOR STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ALONG A
SHARPENING DRYLINE OVER THE EASTERN PERMIAN BASIN AND FAR WESTERN
PORTIONS OF OUR FORECAST AREA. VERY LARGE HAIL AND A FEW TORNADOES
WOULD BE POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY WITH ANY DISCRETE SUPERCELLS.
MODELS CONTINUE A INDICATE A LINE OF STORMS MOVING WEST TO EAST
ACROSS THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING. LARGE HAIL AND
DAMAGING WINDS WOULD BE POSSIBLE WITH THIS ACTIVITY GIVEN
FAVORABLE SEVERE WEATHER PARAMETERS. WE'LL ALSO NEED TO CONTINUE
TO MONITOR THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLASH
FLOODING AS THESE SHOWERS AND STORMS SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA.
THE REST OF THE WORK WEEK LOOKS RELATIVELY BENIGN WITH ONLY A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF A FEW SHOWERS OR STORMS ON WEDNESDAY.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE PLEASANT FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. HIGHS
WILL BE IN THE 70S AND 80S, WITH LOWS IN THE 50S AND 60S.
