AND CENTRAL GULF COAST STATES

A VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS IS IN PLACE THIS MORNING OVER THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS ALONG AND SOUTH OF A STATIONARY FRONT EXTENDING FROM
THE OZARKS THROUGH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA...WESTERN TEXAS INTO EASTERN NEW
MEXICO. THIS BOUNDARY MAY LIFT SLIGHTLY NORTH TODAY THROUGH EASTERN
NEW MEXICO AND THE TEXAS PANHANDLE...PROVIDING THE FOCUS FOR INTENSE

THAT THE HIGHEST LIKELIHOOD WILL BE ALONG OR JUST NORTH OF THE
