AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
1240 PM CDT MON AUG 8 2005

.AVIATION...
THE MAIN AREA OF CONVECTION ACROSS THE AREA WEST OF A KLUD...KMWL...
KJCT LINE...WILL CONTINUE TO ONLY SLOWLY MOVE EASTWARD THIS
AFTERNOON.  IN THE MEANTIME...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS LIKE WE HAVE
SEEN FOR THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE REST OF THE
AREA. HAVE PLACED VCTS AFTER 20Z IN THE METROPLEX AND WACO
TAFS...WITH A TEMPO TSRA BETWEEN 20 AND 00Z.  CONVECTION WILL
DECREASE AFTER SUNSET.  WE MAY SEE SOME LIGHT FOG DEVELOP TOWARD
12Z...WITH POSSIBLY SOME PATCHY MVFR CONDITIONS 12-15Z.  #58

&&

.UPDATE..
1154 AM CDT MON AUG 8 2005
WILL ISSUE ANOTHER UPDATE TO EXPAND AND INCREASE POPS OVER THE
WEST...SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH-CENTRAL COUNTIES.... AND TO LOWER MAXS
UNDER THE PRECIPITATION ONCE AGAIN.  SHORT WAVE EVIDENT ON WV SAT
PICS IS RESPONSIBLE AND WILL LIKE CONTINUE TO GENERATE AND EXPAND
CONVECTION THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON... ESPECIALLY OVER THE WEST HALF
OF THE CWA.

IN PLACES WHERE ISOLATION OCCURS... HEATING OF UNSTABLE AIRMASS WILL
AID ADDITIONAL CONVECTION DURING THE AFTERNOON.  LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL REMAINS A BIG CONCERN FOR THOSE COUNTIES THAT HAVE RECEIVE
HEAVY RAINS OVER THE PAST FOUR DAYS.   75

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
430 AM CDT MON AUG 8 2005
CONVECTIVE DEBRIS CLOUDS FROM SUNDAYS ACTIVITY PERSIST ACROSS MUCH
OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING...IN THE FORM A BKN/OVC MIXTURE OF
AS/CI.  HOWEVER...SKIES ARE PARTIALLY CLEAR ACROSS THE NORTHEAST
PORTION OF THE AREA...WHERE AREAS LIGHT FOG/MIST HAVE FORMED IN
RESPONSE TO ENHANCED RADIATIONAL COOLING.  SOME LIGHT SHOWERS ARE
ALSO NOTED IN KFWS/KGRK REFLECTIVITY DATA...MAINLY ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN/WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA.  WE WILL CARRY A
SLIGHT CHANCE FOR MORNING POPS TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS ACTIVITY.

MEANWHILE...ANOTHER ROUND OF AFTERNOON AND EVENING CONVECTION IS
EXPECTED TODAY...LIKELY BEGINNING AS CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES ARE
APPROACHED.  SLIGHTLY LOWER HEIGHTS ALOFT ARE PROGGED BY LATEST
MODEL GUIDANCE TO PERSIST OVER THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON...AND WITH
LIGHT WINDS THROUGH THE LOWER/MID TROPOSPHERE AND A VERY MOIST
AIRMASS IN PLACE...EXPECT ANOTHER WIDESPREAD COVERAGE OF
CONVECTION.  THE LATEST NAM/NGM/CANADIAN SOLUTIONS APPEAR MORE IN
LINE WITH SREF OUTPUT...AND WILL FOLLOW THIS GUIDANCE MORE CLOSELY
AS THE GFS APPEARS TO BE SUFFERING FROM SIGNIFICANT CONVECTIVE
FEEDBACK.  WILL SKEW HIGHEST POPS TOWARD THE SOUTHWEST HALF OF THE
FORECAST AREA...AS CONVECTION SHOULD INITIALLY DEVELOP IN THE
VICINITY OF A WEAK LOW-LEVEL CONFLUENCE ZONE DRAPED ACROSS THIS
AREA.  ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT WILL OCCUR AROUND THE REMAINDER OF THE
AREA...BUT EXPECT A HIGHER COVERAGE IN THE SOUTH/WEST.  OTHERWISE...
THE TREND OF EVENING DISSIPATION AND PARTLY/MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES
OVERNIGHT SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK...AS
CONDITIONS ON THE SYNOPTIC SCALE REMAIN STAGNANT THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
SLIGHTLY HIGHER POPS WILL BE USED FOR THE SOUTHEASTERN HALF OF THE
FORECAST AREA ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AFTERNOONS...AS UPPER RIDGE
AXIS OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN U.S. SLOWLY BUILDS TOWARD THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS.

BEYOND WEDNESDAY...WE WILL MAINTAIN A DRY FORECAST AS INCREASING
LARGE SCALE SUBSIDENCE WILL ALLOW FOR SOME DRYING OF THE MID AND
UPPER-LEVELS...THUS PROVIDING AN ENVIRONMENT LESS FAVORABLE FOR
AFTERNOON AIRMASS CONVECTION.  THE GRADUAL WARMING TREND WILL BE
MAINTAINED...BUT LACK OF A STRONG ANTICYCLONE ALOFT SHOULD HELP KEEP
TEMPERATURES FROM GETTING TOO WARM.  NONETHELESS...MANY AREAS WILL
LIKELY BE APPROACHING 100 AGAIN BY THE END OF THE WEEK.  THE LATEST
ECMWF/GFSLR SOLUTIONS ARE NOW ADVERTISING A STRONGER IMPULSE MOVING
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS ON SUNDAY/MONDAY...AND HAVE DECIDED TO
MENTION SLIGHT CHANCE POPS...ASSOCIATED WITH THE PASSAGE OF THIS
SYSTEM.
