.DISCUSSION...

Our first of several weak cold fronts that will move through this
week, continues to push south across the area this morning. Cooling
will be minimal behind the front and limited to the northeast half
of the CWA this afternoon. That being said, high temperatures will
range from the upper 50's near Snyder to 80 degrees along the Rio
Grande. A couple more ripples in the nearly zonal flow aloft will
bring fronts into the area both Tuesday and Wednesday. Each day
looking similar to the last with dry conditions and temperatures
cool north, very warm south.  The front late Wednesday will be the
strongest of the three. Thursday could be a little messy as
moisture overrides the frontal boundary. It's looking very
possible that highs will only make the 40's across the majority
of the area with light rain and fog much of the day.

Temperatures rebound back to well above normal values Friday as cold
air gathers to our north. A shortwave will eject out of the
Rockies and onto the Plains this weekend allowing another cold
front to move south across the region Saturday. This airmass
doesn't look overly cold, but high temperatures will fall back
below normal. Models disagree on the overall pattern early next
week, but we should see moderating temperatures and mostly dry
conditions.
