SHORT TERM OUTLOOK:An upper-level disturbance moving across Texas and the southern Plains, combines with increasing Gulf moisture has led to a line of storm forming over North Texas and moving south to the coast this morning. Storms and windy conditions will prevail for early today, followed by a return to more typical summer conditions by this afternoon and tomorrow.

NATIONAL OUTLOOK

This morning, high pressure is centered to our east over Florida and the eastern Gulf of Mexico. Meanwhile, surface low pressure is located to our west southeast of the Big Bend and west of Midland, Texas. Meanwhile, a weak cold front is moving slowly southeast across northwest Texas with the frontal boundary extending east and northeast from west of Lubbock across Oklahoma and the eastern Plains to the Upper-Midwest and lows over Minnesota and northern Wisconsin. High pressure is centered behind this front over Colorado. Meanwhile, to our northeast, a stationary frontal boundary extends southeastward from the low in Wisconsin all the way to a low along the coast of North Carolina and then into the Atlantic. A third, cold front is drifting southwest across northeastern Canada and New England. Finally, in the West, isolated lows are found near Las Vegas and San Francisco, while to the northeast of there, a Pacific cold front is moving east across the region with an attached low over northern Utah.

UPPER-LEVEL OUTLOOK

We back to a more amplified pattern, with an upper-level low over far eastern Canada and New England. Further west, a high pressure ridge extends northward from the Southeastern U.S. and the Deep South to the Midwest, Great Lakes and Canada. Further west, a low pressure trough is moving east across the Plains, while far to the west, high pressure is evident in the Pacific off the West Coast.

EXTENDED OUTLOOK:Deeper Gulf moisture, the trough moving across Texas and the Plains and a weak cold front dipping into North Texas will bring rain to our area today. Rain chances will linger through tomorrow as instability prevails with drier, sunnier conditions returning for Wednesday and Thursday as high pressure builds into our area. Some chance of rain will reappear by the end of this week and the weekend as the high shifts out of our area a little allowing deeper moisture to return.
