Area forecast discussion, Aug 27, 3:45 PM CDT, 1 hour 28 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX 345 PM CDT SUN AUG 27 2006 .DISCUSSION... NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO FIRE THIS EVENING AS THUNDERSTORM OUTFLOWS INTERACT WITH A MOIST AND UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE. BEST COVERAGE OF STORMS WILL BE IN THE CENTRAL SECTIONS WHERE FEWER CLOUDS EARLIER TODAY ALLOWED TEMPERATURES TO WARM INTO THE MID AND UPPER 90S. IT IS DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT THE CURRENT COLD FRONT POSITION DUE TO MASKING BY OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES...BUT OUR BEST ESTIMATION IS ABOUT CENTRAL OKLAHOMA. THE FRONT SHOULD REGAIN ITS SOUTHERN MOMENTUM AS UPPER TROUGH AXIS SHIFTS EAST AND SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE STRENGTHENS ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS. THE APPROACH OF THE FRONT OVERNIGHT ALONG WITH LARGE SCALE LIFT FROM UPPER TROUGH WILL BRING INCREASING COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE REGION. THE COLD FRONT WILL EASE THROUGH THE REGION MONDAY AND CONTINUE TO BE A FOCUS FOR PRECIPITATION. RAIN MAY BE HEAVY AT TIMES THIS EVENING AND MONDAY. BY MONDAY NIGHT THE FRONT WILL SLIDE SOUTH AND PRECIP CHANCES WILL DECREASE FROM NORTH TO SOUTH. THERE MAY BE A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS OR STORMS IN THE SOUTH WEDNESDAY BUT THE REST OF THE WEEK WILL BE DRY. THE GFS CONTINUES TO SHOW ANOTHER COLD FRONT MOVING INTO NORTH TEXAS ON SATURDAY. IF THIS SOLUTION PANS OUT WE WILL SEE ANOTHER CHANCE OF RAIN ALONG WITH COOLER TEMPERATURES. WE WILL KEEP POPS LOW FOR NOW BUT WILL WATCH CLOSELY IN THE COMING DAYS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... DALLAS-FT.
