Who says the weather isnt interesting in West Texas...this from the NWS: Valid 12Z Wed Nov 20 2013 - 12Z Fri Nov 22 2013 ...Widespread rain and snow showers expected across the West... ...Conditions will turn blustery behind an arctic boundary plunging through the Central U.S.... ...Showers and thunderstorms possible over the Southern Plains and Middle Mississippi Valley as moisture returns to the South Central U.S.... Widespread shower activity will continue to accompany a cold front sinking through the Western U.S. Wednesday and Thursday. The heaviest amounts should be focused along the favored terrain of California and the Great Basin...and temperatures will be low enough to support accumulating snows in the higher elevations. Late in the forecast period...the best chance for significant precipitation will shift farther south...where energy closing off aloft will combine with an abundance of Pacific moisture streaming inland to fuel moderate to heavy rains over the Southwest. Temperatures will continue to plunge behind an arctic boundary dropping south and east through the Central U.S.. The falling temperatures and gusty winds will make for blustery conditions...especially where low level flow into the terrain should produce upslope snows along the Northern/Central Rockies and High Plains. As the front dips farther south and east...moisture returning from the Gulf of Mexico will fuel widespread shower activity surrounding the front. Showers and thunderstorms containing heavy rains are expected ahead of the front across the Southern Plains and Middle Mississippi Valley...while light snows and even freezing rain will be possible in locations behind the boundary. A lingering frontal boundary stretched through the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico will help trigger scattered showers and thunderstorms across Florida and perhaps into the coastal Carolinas the next few days. Elsewhere over the eastern third of the Nation...sprawling high pressure will keep weather dry and quiet.
