.DISCUSSION...

LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONTINUED TO STREAM NORTH AND NORTHEAST ACROSS
THE FOUR STATE REGION AROUND THE BACK SIDE OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
RIDGE THAT EXTENDED FROM OFF THE ATLANTIC COAST AND ALONG THE GULF
COAST. A PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THIS HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM AND
LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL SECTIONS OF THE COUNTRY AND ACROSS WEST
TEXAS WILL PROVIDE FOR ANOTHER DAY OF GUSTY WINDS. ALSO LATER TODAY
AND DURING THE EVENING A COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW PRESSURE
WILL MOVE THROUGH THE FOUR STATE REGION. THIS WILL RESULT IN SHIFTING
WINDS TO THE WEST AND THEN NORTHWEST TO NORTH AND SMALL CHANCES OF
RAIN. HIGH PRESSURE IN WAKE OF THE FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL RETURN
COOLER AND DRIER AIR. DURING THE LATER PART OF THIS WORK WEEK AS
THAT HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM SHIFTS EAST OF THE AREA...THE RETURNING
SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL PROVIDE FOR A BETTER CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WITH MORE LIGHTNING AND WETTING RAINS.
