...A FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 945 PM CDT FOR
NORTHWESTERN HUNT AND SOUTH CENTRAL FANNIN COUNTIES...

AT 849 PM CDT...A THUNDERSTORM PRODUCING VERY HEAVY RAIN WAS REPORTED
OVER THE WARNED AREA.

LOCATIONS IN THE WARNING INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO LEONARD AND 
AREAS TO THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST OF LEONARD. AREAS ALONG HIGHWAY 69 
BETWEEN CELESTE AND LEONARD MAY HAVE RECEIVED THREE TO FOUR INCHES 
EARLIER THIS EVENING.

EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CAUSE FLOODING OF SMALL
CREEKS AND STREAMS...COUNTRY ROADS...AS WELL AS FARMLAND ALONG THE
BANKS OF CREEKS AND STREAMS.

DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE
ROADWAY. THE WATER DEPTH MAY BE TOO GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR CAR TO CROSS
SAFELY. MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND.

MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO
AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY
DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL
ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED
ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
551 PM CDT WED JUN 13 2007

.AVIATION...
ISOLATED CONVECTION CONTINUES TO DIE OFF ACROSS THE METROPLEX.
EXPECT MORE SUSTAINABLE CONVECTION TO REMAIN WEST AND EAST OF TAF
SITES. OVERNIGHT SHOULD BE SKC WITH WINDS BECOMING SOUTHERLY.
EXPECT CLOUDS TO INCREASE ALL LEVELS AS UPPER LEVEL LOW APPROACHES
FROM THE NW. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL BACK TO THE SSE TOMORROW
AFTERNOON WITH A VFR DECK IN PLACE AROUND FL060 AT ALL SITES.

THE UPPER LOW WILL MOVE TOWARDS NORTH TEXAS OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS
WITH PRECIP CHANCES INCREASING AT ALL TAF SITES. HARD TO PIN DOWN
EXACT TIMING OF RAIN TOMORROW. ETA AND WRF MODELS INDICATE THE
FIRST ROUND MAY COME EARLY IN THE DAY...WITH THE GFS FAVORING THE
AFTERNOON HOURS. HAVE TRIED TO BRIDGE THE DIFFERENCE WITH A TEMP
TSRA IN THE LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. AS FOR WACO...RAIN
CHANCES ARE NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO INCLUDE AS OF YET.  /13

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 257 PM CDT WED JUN 13 2007/

DISCUSSION...
SEVERAL AREAS OF CONVECTION HAVE DEVELOPED THIS AFTERNOON. A
BOUNDARY WITH WEAK CONFLUENT SFC FLOW IS PRESENT OVER EAST
TEXAS...ENCOURAGING SCATTERED T-STORM DEVELOPMENT OVER
EAST/NORTHEAST TEXAS...AND INTO EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE METROPLEX.

FARTHER WEST...T-STORMS ARE DEVELOPING ALONG AND JUST AHEAD OF THE
COOL FRONT EXTENDING FROM NEAR THE CENTER OF THE LOW OVER SW
KANSAS...TO WESTERN OK...TO ABILENE AND SAN ANGELO. THIS ACTIVITY
WILL MOVE NORTH-NORTHEAST AND MAY AFFECT OUR WEST/NORTHWEST
COUNTIES THIS EVENING.

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY DEPICTS THE UPPER LOW ALREADY PINCHING OFF
FROM THE MAIN FLOW OVER FAR SE COLORADO. THE CENTER OF THE LOW IS
FORECAST TO WANDER INTO THE TX PANHANDLE AND WESTERN OKLAHOMA
THROUGH FRIDAY...BEFORE MEANDERING SOUTH INTO NORTH TEXAS SATURDAY
AND SUNDAY. THE AREA CAN EXPECT MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND
STORMS. ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY BE SCATTERED ONCE AGAIN ON
THURSDAY...WITH INCREASING COVERAGE ON FRIDAY. HOWEVER...THE
GREATEST CHANCES OF RAIN APPEAR TO BE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AS THE
UPPER LOW SITS OVERHEAD. WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT
EXPECTED...BUT COOLER AIR ALOFT WILL STEEPEN LAPSE RATES AND
INCREASE THE HAIL POTENTIAL.

ANOTHER WEEKEND THREAT WILL BE HEAVY RAIN. GFS IS SHOWING INTENSE
TARGETS OF QPF...LIKELY RESULTING FROM CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK.
YET...AMPLE MOISTURE IS PRESENT IN THE COLUMN...WITH PWATS
FORECAST TO BE WELL IN EXCESS OF 1.5 INCHES. FLOW ALOFT WILL BE
WEAK AND TRAINING OF ECHOES WILL BE POSSIBLE. GIVEN THE WEAK
SHEAR...UPDRAFTS SHOULD BE WEAKER AND LESS ORGANIZED...WHICH IS
ALSO ILLUSTRATED BY LONG SKINNY CAPE PRESENT IN FORECAST
SOUNDINGS. THE AFOREMENTIONED CONDITIONS...SEVERAL DAYS OF PRECIP
IN THE FORECAST...AND SOILS THAT ARE RETAINING MOISTURE FROM
EARLIER RAINS WILL RESULT IN A HEAVY RAIN/FLOODING POTENTIAL
ACROSS NORTH TEXAS. IT IS STILL TOO EARLY TO CONSIDER
WATCHES...BUT STAY TUNED AS THIS SYSTEM EVOLVES.

STAGNANT UPPER LOW IS FORECAST TO GET SWEPT OFF TO THE EAST IN
PROGRESSIVE FLOW EARLY NEXT WEEK. A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL SAG
TOWARD THE AREA MID WEEK AS A S/WV TROUGH MOVES INTO THE
REGION...BRINGING ANOTHER CHANCE FOR T-STORMS. THETA-E PROGS
SUGGEST THE BOUNDARY MAY HANG UP NEAR THE RED RIVER WED-THURS...
ALLOWING FOR A CONTINUED CHANCE OF STORMS. FOR NOW...WILL CARRY
SLT CHC POPS ON WED...AND KEEP THURS DRY. LATER MODEL RUNS WILL BE
ASSESSED FOR FRONTAL TIMING.
