Area forecast discussion, Apr 25, 1:40 PM CDT, 3 hours 48 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX 140 PM CDT MON APR 25 2005 .DISCUSSION...A SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER EVENT POSSIBLE ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AT 18Z DRY LINE EXTENDED FROM NEAR WICHITA FALLS TO JUNCTION. SFC LOW BETWEEN LUBBOCK AND CHILDRESS WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST TO SOUTH OF WICHITA FALLS BY 00Z. HIGH SHEAR AND STEEP LAPSE RATES ARE ALREADY IN PLACE ACROSS NORTH TEXAS. THE MODEL ARE BEGINNING TO SUGGEST LOCALLY BACKED WINDS AND DEW POINT POOLING FROM 21-00Z FROM DENTON AND COOKE COUNTIES EASTWARD ALONG THE RED RIVER. SHOULD THIS OCCUR..THE GREATEST THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE IN THIS AREA...WITH LARGE HAIL...STRAIGHT LINE DAMAGING WINDS AND TORNADOES POSSIBLE. SO FAR THE ONLY NEGATIVE TO SEVERE WEATHER OCCURRENCE IS THE CONVECTION IN SOUTH TEXAS... WHICH HAS LIMITED THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE RETURN. SO THERE IS SOME QUESTION AS TO HOW WIDESPREAD THE SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE. GOOD CU FIELD ON VISIBLE SATELLITE SUGGESTS COLD POOL SPREADING RAPIDLY SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE DRY LINE ACROSS WESTERN NORTH TEXAS. RIGHT NOW WE EXPECT THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT TO BEGIN AROUND 21Z ALONG THE DRY LINE...WITH STORMS BECOMING MORE NUMEROUS AS THEY SPREAD EASTWARD INTO DEEPER LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. WINDS WILL BECOME NORTHWEST LATER TONIGHT AS SURFACE LOW MOVES EAST OF THE REGION. NEXT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY. 59 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... DALLAS-FT.
