..SUMMARY  
 
ISOLATED WEAK THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT ACROSS PARTS  
OF WEST-CENTRAL INTO SOUTHWESTERN TEXAS.  
   
..SYNOPSIS  
 
TEMPORARY UPPER RIDGING WILL OCCUR OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS TONIGHT,  
AS THE LARGE-SCALE EASTERN TROUGH MOVES OUT OF THE OH VALLEY, AND A  
DEEP SHORTWAVE TROUGH SWINGS EAST ACROSS NORTHERN MEXICO. GIVEN HIGH  
PRESSURE OVER MUCH OF THE PLAINS AND EASTERN CONUS, THE SURFACE AIR  
MASS WILL REMAIN RELATIVELY COOL AND STABLE.  
 
AHEAD OF THE MEXICAN WAVE, WARMING/MOISTENING WILL OCCUR ATOP THE  
COOL STABLE LAYER, WITH EXPANDING AREAS OF PRECIPITATION OVER NM,  
TX, AND INTO OK LATE.  
 
00Z SOUNDINGS FROM EPZ TO MAF ALREADY SHOWS MODESTLY STEEP MIDLEVEL  
LAPSE RATES, WITH LITTLE CAPE CURRENTLY. HOWEVER, WEAK ELEVATED  
INSTABILITY IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVERNIGHT, PRIMARILY FROM THE  
LATITUDE OF EL PASO TO MIDLAND TX SOUTHWARD. EVEN SO, LIFT WILL BE  
WEAK, WITH ONLY SPORADIC LIGHTNING FLASHES EXPECTED.
