WEST CENTRAL TEXAS FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN ANGELO TX
408 AM CDT FRI APR 11 2003

SHIFT IN LONGWAVE PATTERN OFFERS SOME RAIN PROSPECTS NEXT WEEK...
COULD OFFER BREAK IN A NEAR RAINLESS SPRING.

UPPER LEVEL RIDGE PRODUCING DRY CONDITIONS WILL GRADUALLY MOVE EAST 
AS TROF MOVES IN FROM WEST SHOULD CREATE A BIT MORE FAVORABLE 
ENVIRONMENT FOR RAIN.  KINDA INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT OTHER THAN THE 
FIRST DAY OF SPRING RAIN HAS BEEN A HARD COMMODITY TO COME BY ACROSS 
WEST CENTRAL TEXAS.

FOR TODAY HIGH CLOUDS SHOULD THIN A BIT ALLOWING TEMPERATURES TO 
REACH 80 JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE.  WINDS BEGIN TO SHIFT TO A SOUTHEAST 
DIRECTION TONIGHT WHICH SHOULD HELP INCREASE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE.  
DEWPOINT WHICH HAVE BEEN IN THE TEENS AND TWENTIES SHOULD RISE INTO 
THE 50S OVER THE WEEKEND.

JUST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF DRYLINE INDUCED THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE 
WEEKEND...HOWEVER UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF UPPER RIDGE...RAIN THREAT 
STILL NOT ENOUGH TO MENTION IN ZONES.  

WILL CONTINUE WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. AS 
DRYLINE TRIGGER ON MONDAY LOOKING A LITTLE BETTER FOR POSSIBLE 
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. UPPER TROF APPROACHES EARLY NEXT 
WEEK...WHILE MAIN DYNAMICS WILL BE NORTH OF OUR AREA...STILL ENOUGH 
ENERGY TO TRIGGER SOME DECENT SPRING STORMS.  RIGHT NOW TUESDAY 
LOOKS LIKE BEST CHANCE.  CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD PERSIST 
FOR A GOOD PART OF NEXT WEEK. WITH ANOTHER DECENT CHANCE ON 
THURSDAY/FRIDAY.  FOR CONSISTENCY SAKE WILL KEEP THUNDERSTORM 
WORDING AS IS...THO MON AND WED LOOK LESS LIKELY THAN THE REST OF 
THE WEEK.  
NEXT 7 DAYS WILL HAVE A LARGE IMPACT ON DETERMINING AGRICULTURAL 
IMPACT ON 2003. RAIN WILL BE GOOD...NO RAIN COULD SET A POOR TREND.
