Area forecast discussion, Dec 29, 1:33 PM CST, 15 minutes before

HAVE UPDATED GRIDS TO INCLUDE TORNADO WATCH 886 WHICH IS ALONG AND SOUTH OF A LINE FROM CROSS PLAINS...TO GRANBURY...TO ATHENS UNTIL 8 PM. WARM FRONT LIES IN THIS REGION AND GIVEN THE EXTRA VORTICITY ALONG THE BOUNDARY AND THE HUGE AMOUNTS OF STORM RELATIVE HELICITY... TORNADO WATCH SEEMS LOGICAL. /13 PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1123 AM CST FRI DEC 29 2006/ AVIATION... SHOWERS CONTINUE TO STREAM NORTH IN SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF STRONG UPPER LOW NOW SITUATED IN NORTHERN MEXICO/SOUTHERN NM. HAVE GRADUALLY INCREASED SH/TS ACTIVITY IN THE TAFS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. AGREE WITH CWSU THAT MAIN FRONTOGENETIC FORCING AND TIMING OF STRONGEST STORMS SHOULD BE EARLIER THAN WAS STATED IN PREVIOUS TAFS...AND HAVE SHIFTED +TSRA A FEW HRS EARLIER AT ALL SITES. AS FAR AS THE CIGS...FOR NOW HAVE KEPT THEM IN THE MVFR CAT...BUT THIS AND OTHER ASPECTS OF THE AVIATION FORECAST WILL LIKELY NEED ADJUSTING AS THE EVENT UNFOLDS...AS IFR CIGS ARE ENTIRELY POSSIBLE. THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THIS EVENING... LIKELY ACCOMPANIED BY A SQUALL LINE. EXPECT CIGS TO LIFT TO VFR BETWEEN 10-12Z TOMORROW MORNING AS MOISTURE RETREATS...WITH BKN VFR CIGS THRU EARLY AFTERNOON. GUSTY EASTERLY WINDS WILL DIMINISH SLIGHTLY AFTER SUNSET TONIGHT AND BECOME MORE SOUTHERLY BY 10Z... FINALLY VEERING TO THE SW AROUND 6-8 KTS BY 15Z TOMORROW. /13 PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1103 AM CST FRI DEC 29 2006/ DISCUSSION... FORECAST STILL ON TRACK AS LARGE AND POWERFUL UPPER CYCLONE DRIFTS EASTWARD ACROSS NORTHERN MEXICO AND SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO. ELEVATED CONVECTION CONTINUES TO GRADUALLY INTENSIFY ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL TEXAS...WITH STRONGEST CLUSTER CURRENTLY LOCATED VCNTY WACO. COLD FRONT WAS STRENGTHENING TO OUR WEST AND WILL MOVE INTO WESTERN ZONES THIS AFTERNOON...LIKELY ACCOMPANIED BY LINEAR MCS. SEVERE THREAT WILL CONTINUE FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT...WITH HAIL POTENTIAL IN THE MAINLY ELEVATED CLUSTERS AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND WITH WIND/MARGINAL HAIL ALONG LINEAR MCS ACTIVITY. HEAVY RAINS ALSO EXPECTED IN SOME AREAS WITH PWATS WELL OVER 1 INCH AND REPEAT DEVELOPMENT OF NORTH-SOUTH CLUSTERS. NEW MODELS CONTINUE TO TREND SLIGHTLY SLOWER WITH EASTWARD PROGRESSION OF THE COMPLEX UPPER CYCLONE. HOWEVER...A SLIGHTLY SLOWER MOVEMENT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE IT WILL HAVE A HUGE IMPACT ON SENSIBLE WEATHER ACROSS NORTH TEXAS. THE MAIN FEATURE TO WATCH THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING IS THE STRONG VORTICITY MAXIMUM LOCATED NEAR CHIHUAHUA MEXICO OR ABOUT 150 MI SW OF KMRF. THIS CIRCULATION FEATURE AND ASSOCIATED SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL ROTATE INTO WEST TEXAS THIS AFTERNOON AND ACROSS MOST OF NORTH TEXAS BY SATURDAY. ASSOCIATED DRY SLOT/UPPER SUBSIDENCE LIKELY TO OVERSPREAD ALL OF NORTH TEXAS BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON EVEN THOUGH MAIN UPPER LOW CENTER MAY STILL BE IN THE TEXAS PANHANDLE. WILL MAKE SOME MINOR UPDATES TO GRIDS FOR THIS AFTERNOON TO FINE TUNE POPS AND QPF. /09 PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 533 AM CST FRI DEC 29 2006/ AVIATION...

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 440 AM CST FRI DEC 29 2006/ DISCUSSION... 440 AM CST CHALLENGING FORECAST ONCE AGAIN. POTENT UPPER LOW CONTINUES TO TAKE ITS TIME APPROACHING TEXAS. WHILE THE RAIN EVENT HAS BEEN CONTINUALLY DELAYED...THE RETARDED PROGRESSION OF THE SYSTEM HAS ACTUALLY ALLOWED THE ATMOSPHERE TO PRIME ITSELF FOR SIGNIFICANT RAIN. MOISTURE CONTINUES TO DEEPEN...AND PROJECTED PWATS WILL BE EXTRAORDINARY FOR LATE DECEMBER. SIGNIFICANT CONVECTION REMAINS OVER WEST TEXAS...WITH DEEP SOUTHERLY STEERING FLOW LIMITING EASTWARD PROGRESS. AS UPPER SYSTEM APPROACHES...MID-LEVELS WILL CONTINUE TO MOISTEN AND DESTABILIZE. CONVECTION SHOULD BE PRIMARILY ELEVATED TODAY...BUT CAP WILL GRADUALLY ERODE THROUGH DYNAMIC LIFTING. DRYLINE WILL REACH WESTERN CWA NEAR SUNSET. ACCOMPANYING SQUALL LINE WILL TRAVERSE CWA AT AN HOUR WHEN SFC-BASED INSTABILITY WILL BE MINIMIZED. MP FRONT WILL PIVOT AROUND BASE OF SYSTEM...MORE OR LESS OVERTAKING THE DRYLINE TONIGHT. LIFT FROM THE RESULTING SFC BOUNDARY WILL COINCIDE WITH INTENSE LARGE-SCALE ASCENT TO ALLOW FOR DEEP CONVECTION AND WIDESPREAD RAIN ACROSS CWA TONIGHT. SEVERE POTENTIAL REMAINS ON THE LOW END...BUT HAIL MAY ACCOMPANY THE STRONGER CELLS. POTENTIAL FOR SFC-BASED STORMS IN SE ZONES TODAY...BUT WIND THREAT SHOULD BE LIMITED TO NEAR-BOUNDARY CONVECTION TONIGHT. PRECIPITATION EFFICIENCY WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE DURING THE DAY. INTENSE SPEED SHEAR IS PERPENDICULAR TO EVENTUAL SFC BOUNDARY PASSAGE TONIGHT. SUCH UNIDIRECTIONAL SHEAR WILL FAVOR SOME TRAINING ECHOES AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN THROUGHOUT THE EVENT.
