CURRENTLY THERE ARE SOME ISOLATED STORMS IN SAN SABA AND MASON

HAIL, BUT THEY ARE BELOW SEVERE LEVELS. EXPECT THESE STORMS TO
MOVE OUT OF THE AREA OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
OTHERWISE, A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH TONIGHT, REACHING THE
I-20 CORRIDOR BETWEEN 9 PM AND 10 PM TONIGHT, THE SAN ANGELO AREA
BY AROUND 11 PM, AND THE I-10 CORRIDOR BY MIDNIGHT OR SHORTLY
AFTER. NORTH WINDS OF 15 TO 30 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS ARE EXPECTED
BEHIND THE FRONT, AND WILL PERSIST THROUGH AT LEAST EARLY
AFTERNOON SATURDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE MUCH COLDER, WITH HIGHS

SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD DIRECTLY OVER WEST CENTRAL TEXAS
SUNDAY MORNING. LIGHT WINDS, CLEAR SKIES AND A DRY ATMOSPHERE WILL
ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO FALL WELL INTO THE 20S, AND WOULD NOT BE
SURPRISED TO SEE TEENS IN A FEW AREAS. SURFACE RIDGING WILL STILL BE
IN PLACE TUESDAY MORNING, WITH MOST AREAS HAVING AT LEAST A LIGHT
FREEZE, AND PROTECTED AREAS COULD FALL INTO THE MID 20S.
AN UPPER LOW IN N. MEXICO MAY BRING A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS
MONDAY NIGHT TO CROCKETT COUNTY, BUT POTENTIAL APPEARS LOW, WITH
PERHAPS A BETTER CHANCE FATHER SOUTH OF THE COUNTY WARNING AREA
IN SOUTHWEST TEXAS. THERE IS A RETURN TO SOUTHWEST SURFACE WINDS
MONDAY INTO TUESDAY, BEFORE A COLD FRONT WEDNESDAY SHIFTS WINDS
BACK NORTH. COLD AIR ADVECTION WITH THE WEDNESDAY COLD FRONT IS
NOT STRONG, WITH ONLY SLIGHTLY COOLER CONDITIONS EXPECTED
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. NO PRECIPITATION EXPECTED MID AND LATE WEEK,
AS THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE DRY.
