CIRRUS FROM EARLY MORNING CONVECTION HAS TEMPERED CONVECTION ACROSS
THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN BIG BEND SO FAR TODAY, BUT STILL MAY SEE A
BIT OF ACTIVITY DEVELOP THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING
HOURS. OTHERWISE, THE OVERNIGHT HOURS WILL START OUT RATHER
TRANQUIL. BY LATE TONIGHT, A SHORTWAVE WILL BEGIN TO APPROACH THE
REGION FROM THE WEST, LIKELY WITH SOME ASSOCIATED CONVECTION MOVING
INTO THE PANHANDLE AND SE ALABAMA BY MORNING. THIS SHORTWAVE WILL
HELP TO GENERATE MORE WIDESPREAD COVERAGE OF STORMS ON THURSDAY.
WITH A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT MID-LEVEL PULSES, THERE MAY BE MULTIPLE
ROUNDS OF STORMS MOVING ACROSS THE AREA. SLIGHTLY ENHANCED MID-LEVEL
FLOW MAY HELP TO ENHANCE THE DAMAGING WIND POTENTIAL AS WELL, WITH A
MARGINAL RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION FOR
THURSDAY.

LIGHT SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE THURSDAY NIGHT AND ARE

UNSTABLE. A LATE SEASON COLD FRONT WILL PUSH IN FROM THE NORTH ON

WEEKEND.
