AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
258 PM CDT TUE JUN 26 2007

.DISCUSSION...
THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS EXTENDED THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT FOR ALL OF
NORTH TEXAS. OUR CONFIDENCE WAS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO REMOVE ANY
COUNTIES FOR THE TIME BEING.

THE UPPER TROUGH/SHEAR AXIS OVER WESTERN OKLAHOMA AND OUR WESTERN
CWA WILL ONLY MEANDER A LITTLE THROUGH THURSDAY. IT SHOULD BEGIN TO
DRIFT NORTHWARD THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY AS THE EASTERN CANADA
UPPER TROUGH MOVES EAST AND DEEPENS...HOWEVER THE SHEAR AXIS OVER
OUR WESTERN CWA WILL LINGER OVER THE WEEKEND. COME NEXT WEEK...THE
UPPER TROUGH PIVOTS WEST TO EAST AND SLIDES DOWN INTO THE SOUTHERN
STATES...EXTENDING FROM GEORGIA TO THE TEXAS HILL COUNTRY.

DUE TO OUR EXTREMELY MOIST AIRMASS AND EASTERN SIDE LIFT OF THE
UPPER TROUGH...MORE ROUNDS OF HEAVY RAINFALL ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE
CWA. SINCE THIS IS A WARM CORE SYSTEM...THE CONVECTION WILL BE MORE
NUMEROUS AND SCATTERED DURING THE DAYTIME AND MORE CONCENTRATED NEAR
THE LOWS CENTER AT NIGHTTIME WHICH IS OUR FAR NORTHWEST CWA.  THE
SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL REMAINS VERY LOW...BUT A BRIEF SMALL FUNNEL
OR AN F0 VORTICE COULD OCCUR THROUGH THURSDAY.

WE/VE KEPT POPS HIGH FOR SEVERAL MORE DAYS AND ADDED LOW CHANCE POPS
TO THE FIRST OF NEXT WEEK SINCE THE UPPER TROUGH ISN/T LEAVING SOON.

CLOUDS AND PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE FORECASTING HIGH/LOW
TEMPERATURES A LITTLE DIFFICULT. DECIDE TO PULL HIGH BACK SLIGHTLY
THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE GOVERNED BY
DEWPOINTS AND CLOUD COVER.
