PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 233 AM CST Fri Nov 20 2020/ 

DISCUSSION...
A cold front near the Canadian River early this morning will 
continue to move south across the rest of the Texas Panhandle by 
sunrise.  High temperatures are expected to be some 20 degrees 
cooler today as compared to yesterday's record breaking highs.

Upslope flow on Saturday will bring increasing low level moisture 
along with extra cloud cover.  This will keep temperatures around or 
below normal.  In fact, high temperatures may be too warm if the 
more aggressive NAM model pans out with it's cloud cover and rain. 
Rain is expected to spread from north to south Saturday and Saturday 
night as an upper level disturbance moves across.  A few 
thunderstorms will be possible across the northeast CWA along and 
behind a cold front that moves through the region Saturday night and 
Sunday morning.  More rain ie expected through the day Sunday and 
Sunday night.  Before the rain tappers off Monday morning it may mix 
with or change over to some light snow.

Precipitation chances return Monday afternoon through Tuesday night 
as a stronger upper level disturbance moves across the southern 
Rockies and Panhandles.  Again, some of the rain may mix with or 
change to light snow at the end of the event Tuesday night as the 
column cools off and surface temperatures fall below freezing in 
some areas.

The forecast then goes dry Wednesday into Thanksgiving Day as the 
upper level disturbance moves off to the east of the region. 

After cooler than normal high temperatures on Sunday, readings are 
expected to get back to around normal for Monday through Thursday.
