AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
640 AM CDT MON MAR 12 2007

.AVIATION...
DIFFICULT FORECAST WITH CIGS AND VIS DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS. LEFT
OUT ALL MENTION OF CONVECTION AS ATMOSPHERE IS LIKELY TOO STABLE IN
THE WAKE OF MCS MOVING ACROSS CENTRAL AND SE TX.  IFR CIGS HAVE
REMAINED TO THE WEST ALL NIGHT...AND WITH SUBSIDENCE/WAKE LOW BEHIND
MCS...DO NOT HAVE ANY CONFIDENCE THAT THEY WILL MAKE IT INTO THE
AREA LATER THIS MORNING LIKE MODELS SUGGEST.  HAVE JUST INCLUDED A
TEMPO FOR MVFR CIG FROM 16Z TO 20Z.  OTHERWISE VFR THROUGH 6Z.  THEN
THINGS GET TRICKY AGAIN THEREAFTER.  MODELS SUGGEST LOW LEVEL
SATURATION AND UPPER LEVEL DRYING WITH DENSE FOG OR BUILD-DOWN IFR
CIGS POSSIBLE AFTER MIDNIGHT.  SATURATED GROUNDS AND LIGHT WINDS AT
THE SURFACE SUGGEST DENSE FOG IS POSSIBLE TONIGHT...AND WILL
FORECAST IFR VIS AT KACT-KFTW-KAFW WITH 3SM AT DFW AND DAL WHERE
HEAT ISLAND MAY HELP OUT THINGS.  LATER SHIFTS WILL HAVE TO CHECK
THIS OUT FOR FURTHER ADJUSTMENTS.  TR.92

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THROUGH TUES NIGHT)
BUSY MORNING AS EXPECTED...AS FIRST OF SEVERAL S/W DISTURBANCES
LIFTED OUT THIS PAST EVENING DEVELOPING THE FIRST LINEAR MCS SEEN IN
A LONG WHILE OVER TEXAS. MCV/OUTFLOW RESIDUAL FROM ACTIVITY 24 HRS
HAD PUSHED OLD FRONT/AND SFC LOW WELL TO THE SOUTH OVER DEEP S TX
...RESULTING IN MORE OF A LIGHT-MODERATE RAIN EVENT WITH ONLY
ISOLATED THUNDER WITH LAPSE RATES STEEP ENOUGH...BUT MAINLY OVER
SRN COUNTIES. HAVE INDICATED THIS FOR POPS FOR TODAY. NRN FRINGE
OF MCS/STRATIFORM LIGHT RAIN SHIELD TO LINGER UP THROUGH I-20
THROUGH DAYBREAK...WITH EMBEDDED...HEAVIER THUNDER LINGERING OVER
FAR SE COUNTIES NEAR CAMERON...MARLIN...HEARNE AND PALESTINE. WILL
MAKE LAST MINUTE DECISION THIS MORNING FOR POPS UP FARTHER NWD PER
RADAR/SATELLITE CLOUD-TOP TEMPERATURE TRENDS.

HAVE DECIDED TO MASSAGE POPS AND CONVECTIVE TYPE THROUGH THE NEXT
48-72 HRS...AS THERES SEEMS TO BE SOME AGREEMENT ON TIMING OF
DISTURBANCES. BY AFTERNOON...WILL HOLD HIGHEST POPS FAR SE...WHILE
TONING THINGS DOWN UP THIS WAY AND OVER NW COUNTIES...AS CURRENT
MCS PROPAGATES TOWARD THE UPPER TX COASTLINE...LIKELY ROBBING ANY
INFLOW UP THIS WAY IN MORE STABILIZED AIRMASS. HAVE TONED QPFS DOWN
AS WELL...EXCEPT OVER SE COUNTIES. AS UPPER LOW SPINS OVER W TX/NM
THROUGH TUES MORNING...THERE WILL LIKELY BE ANOTHER S/W DISTURBANCE
EJECT E/ENWD ACROSS CENTRAL/SE TX WITH ANOTHER MCS LIKELY DOWN THAT
WAY. WILL HAVE LOW POPS NORTH...TO HIGHER POPS WELL S OF I-20 CLOSER
TO INVERTED TROUGH/OLD BOUNDARY...WHERE SFC CONVERGENCE AND BETTER
INFLOW OFF THE GULF WILL BE REALIZED ON NRN PERIPHERY OF EXPECT MON
NIGHT MCS. WILL HAVE SOME LOCALIZED MODERATE-HEAVY RAINFALL S OF A
LAMPASAS...WACO...ATHENS LINE...BUT LIGHT ELSEWHERE. AT LEAST ITS A
WELCOME RAIN.

OUR PESKY UPPER LOW WILL FINALLY BEGIN A SLOW TRANSITION E/NEWD LATE
TUES /TUES NIGHT AS ENERGY DIGS TO OUR NORTH IN NRN STREAM OF POLAR
BRANCH OF WLYS. BEST THETA-E AXIS AND LIFT WILL REMAIN IN/NEAR OUR
FAR E/SE COUNTIES...WITH BEST INFLOW INTO THOSE AREAS...THUS HELD
BEST POPS OVER SE COUNTIES-TO MUCH LOWER NW. NOT A DROUGHT BUSTER BY ANY
MEANS FOR NRN 1/2 OF N TX...BUT WELCOME ANYWAY. OTHERWISE...TEMPS
WILL BE DEPENDENT ON CLOUD COVER AND ANY DISSIPATION THEREOF. EXPECT
W/SW AREAS TO BE THE WARMEST...COOLER FURTHER N/NE YOU GO. STAYED
CONSERVATIVE HERE AND DIDNT VENTURE FAR OFF MOS GUIDANCE VALUES
WITH UNCERTAINTIES.

&&

.LONG TERM...(WED AND BEYOND)
OUR UPPER LOW WILL CONTINUE ITS PROGRESSIVE VENTURE EWD ACROSS N TX
AND SLOWLY AWAY WED INTO WED NIGHT AND HAVE TRENDED POPS/WX DOWN
WEST-EAST ACCORDINGLY. NEXT COLD FRONT LOOKS TO MOVE ACROSS THE RED
RIVER BY MIDDAY THURS...AND MOVE THRU AT LEAST THOSE AREAS I-20/NWD.
THUS COOLEST TEMPS UP TOWARD THE RED RIVER...BUT STILL WARM IN THE
SOUTH. ITLL BECOME BRISK AND MUCH COOLER BY THURS NIGHT INTO FRI
MORNING...WITH POLAR TAP OF AIRMASS. NOT OVERLY COLD...BUT HIGHS
ONLY IN THE 60S MOVING INTO THE WEEKEND...BEFORE MODIFYING BY SUN
INTO MON. KEPT FCST DRY...AS MOISTURE LOOKS RELATIVELY SHALLOW FOR
ANY REASONABLE POP/WX MENTION BEHIND COLD FRONT. SO DRY/COOLER WILL BE
THE THEME IN THE EXTENDED.
