   IN THE 29-32 DEG F RANGE. AS PRECIPITATION CONTINUES...AND THE
   MODIFIED ARCTIC AIRMASS CONTINUE TO SLOWLY PROGRESS SOUTHWARD...RAIN

   PORTIONS OF NORTH TEXAS INTO W-CENTRAL AR. HERE...WET-BULB
   TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE 32-35 DEGREE F RANGE AND WILL CONTINUE TO
   FALL WITH THE SOUTHWARD PROGRESSION OF THE LOW LEVEL COLD AIR. WEAK
   WARM ADVECTION LEADING TO ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE AHEAD OF THE UPPER

   ALLOW FOR REGENERATION OF PRECIPITATION. SEVERAL ROUNDS OF LIGHT
