Summary of Daily Weather
Date Being Summarized:  03 April 1995

The low-level ridging continued to inhibit but not prevent the moisture return
into the southern plains.  The upper sys ovr AZ/NM appears to have sheared out
and another short wave trough seems to have dug the sys a bit further south.
High lapse rates continued over the southrn Rockies.  It appears that the moist-
ture and instability were being capped and low cloudiness inhibited the daytime
heating through a good part of the daylight hours.  Although the initiation of
deep convection is not an entirely obvious process from the available data, at 
least two supercells developed after 00Z in west TX north of MAF and produced a
number of nontornadic severe wx reports.  An MCS also developed, in the wake of 
the supercells.

Elsewhere, the arctic air began moving southeastward through the northern plains,
with a prefrontal trough (or a weak cold front) out ahead of the main body of
really cold air.  This pre-arctic front was turning winds to northerly ahead of
the cold surge.
