DISCUSSION...ISOLATED STRONG STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED THIS AFTERNOON
NEAR A COLD FRONT DRAPED ACROSS CENTRAL INTO NORTH TEXAS. THIS
ACTIVITY IS DEVELOPING BENEATH THE COLDER CORE OF THE MIDLEVEL
TROUGH AND ON THE FRINGES OF THE STRONGER MIDLEVEL JET. MLCAPE
RANGES FROM AROUND 500-1500 J/KG WHERE STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED, BUT
THE DOWNSTREAM AIRMASS REMAINS CAPPED. WEAKER INSTABILITY IS ALSO
