AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
238 PM CDT THU MAY 27 2004

.DISCUSSION...
EVOLUTION OF CONVECTION TONIGHT IS FAR FROM CERTAIN AS SHRA/TSRA
HAVE BEEN GOING ON ACROSS W TEXAS MOST OF THE DAYLIGHT HOURS. WHILE
THE STORMS HAVE SHOWN A GENERAL INCREASE IN INTENSITY DURING THE
PAST HOUR...THEY ARE ALSO WORKING ACROSS A RELATIVELY WORKED OVER
AIR MASS...AS COMPARED TO A STRONGLY CAPPED AREA WITH GOOD
INSOLATION. VAPOR CHANNEL CONTINUES TO SHOW H5 PVA WORKING SLOWLY
ACROSS CENTRAL NM...WHILE THE DRY LINE WAS ROUGHLY BETWEEN KCDS AND
KSPS SWWD TO NEAR KABI. WE WILL OPT TO KEEP MENTION OF SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING...BUT CONFIDENCE NOT AS HIGH AS
PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. STILL...GIVEN THE EXPECTED STRENGTH OF THE H5
SHORT WAVE AND THE FORECAST CAPE...JUST CAN NOT RULE OUT SOME
DAMAGING WINDS WITH A FEW STORMS. RAIN CHANCES LOOK PRETTY DECENT SO
WILL GO WITH LIKELY TO CAT POPS NW TONIGHT. WILL BLEND MOS NUMBERS
AS THEY LOOK REASONABLE ATTM.

SHORTWAVE TO WORK EAST OF N TEXAS TOMORROW MORNING AND SAT LOOKS TO
BE DRY. CENTRAL U.S. TROUGH STILL LOOKS TO BRING A COLD FRONT INTO N
TEXAS ON SUNDAY...BUT UPPER LEVEL ENERGY WILL REMAIN WELL NORTH OF
THE REGION. STILL COULD SEE SOME STORMS WITH THIS FEATURE SO WILL
KEEP PRECIP CHANCES GOING THEN. RAIN CHANCES LOOK TO CONTINUE INTO
NEXT WEEK AS NW FLOW LINGERS ACROSS CENTRAL U.S.
