Area forecast discussion, Oct 10, 9:29 PM CDT, 59 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
929 PM CDT WED OCT 10 2001

THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO FORM ACROSS THE NORTHERN SECTIONS OF NORTH
TEXAS TONIGHT AHEAD OF A NEARLY STATIONARY COLD FRONT.  AS OF 9
PM...THE COLD FRONT EXTENDED FROM NEAR ARDMORE TO MIDLAND.  A STRONG
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY EXTENDED OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT FROM PARIS TO
HILLSBORO TO JUST NORTH OF SAN ANGELO.  THE APPROACHING SHORT WAVE
WAS STILL OVER EASTERN NEW MEXICO AND IS FORECAST TO EJECT EASTWARD
OVERNIGHT.

EXPECT SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE AHEAD OF THE FRONT
OVERNIGHT.  THE LARGEST CONCENTRATION OF STORMS WILL REMAIN ACROSS
THE NORTHWEST THIRD OF NORTH TEXAS.  ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN TWO
THIRDS OF THE REGION...EXPECT SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS TO
INCREASE IN COVERAGE OVERNIGHT AS ISENTROPIC LIFT INCREASES.  HAVE
DECIDED NOT TO ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH OVERNIGHT DUE TO THE SLOWER
MOVEMENT OF THE SHORT WAVE AND THE CURRENT POSITION OF THE FRONT.
SOME ISOLATED ONE TO THREE INCH RAINFALL AMOUNTS ARE STILL POSSIBLE
OVERNIGHT.

WILL MAKE SOME MODIFICATION TO THE CURRENT ZONES TO LOWER POP
SLIGHTLY IN THE SOUTH OVERNIGHT.  DONT EXPECT FRONTAL PASSAGE ACROSS
THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN SECTIONS OF NORTH TEXAS UNTIL MID TO LATE
MORNING THURSDAY.  WILL HAVE TO INCREASE POPS IN THE SECOND
PERIOD...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTH.  WILL ALSO MODIFY
CLOUD AND WIND FORECAST TO REFLECT LATER FRONTAL PASSAGE TIME.

.FWD...NONE.
