AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
605 AM CDT TUE JUL 10 2007

.AVIATION...
605 AM CDT

CURRENT AREA OF CONVECTION WILL LIKELY REMAIN NORTH OF METROPLEX...
BUT A SHOWER COULD COME WITHIN 10NM OF A METRO TAF SITE BEFORE
COMPLEX SHIFTS EAST. CI/CS DEBRIS MAY SLOW EROSION OF ST/SC THIS
MORNING...WILL EXTEND MVFR CONDITIONS. POTENTIAL FOR AFTERNOON
CONVECTION WITH VERY UNSTABLE BL AND OUTFLOW-AIDED SFC FOCUS. THINK
BULK OF ACTIVITY WILL REMAIN NE OF TAF SITES...AND WILL REFRAIN FROM
MENTION OF CB/VCTS. FWS VWP SHOWING 30+ KTS ABOVE 2KFT AGL. VERTICAL
MIXING WILL RESULT IN GUSTS OF 20+ KTS AT THE SFC. 25

&&

.UPDATE...
549 AM CDT

ISSUED FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR NORTHEASTERN PARTS OF NORTH TEXAS.
THIS MAY NEED TO BE EXPANDED SOUTH IF COMPLEX OF STORMS ATTAINS
MORE ORGANIZATION DURING THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS. OTHERWISE ADJUSTED
QPF/POP GRIDS TO REFLECT THE HIGHER RAIN CHANCES. TR.92

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
417 AM CDT

A COMPACT UPPER LEVEL LOW IS CURRENTLY MOVING SOUTHEAST INTO
EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WIDESPREAD CONVECTION
OVER CENTRAL OKLAHOMA THIS MORNING. MODELS SHOW THE BRUNT OF THE
CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY REMAINING IN OKLAHOMA TODAY...BUT DO SHOW A
SHORTWAVE TROUGH AXIS AIDING IN SOME LIFT OVER NORTH TEXAS. AT THE
LEAST WE WILL SEE ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
STORMS DEVELOP THIS MORNING IN RESPONSE TO THIS FORCING.

HOWEVER...THERE ARE SOME SERIOUS CONCERNS THAT THE CONVECTION OVER
OKLAHOMA WILL CONSOLIDATE INTO A MCS AND MOVE SOUTH AND POSSIBLY
EVEN SOUTHWEST INTO NORTH TEXAS LATE THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON.
MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEMS IMMERSED IN HIGH INSTABILITY AND WEAK
WIND SHEAR MOVE TOWARD THE DIRECTION OF THE LOW LEVEL WINDS AND
HIGHER INSTABILITY. AT THIS TIME...HAVE PLACED LIKELY POPS ACROSS
THE N/NE ZONES. IT IS UNCLEAR JUST HOW FAR SOUTH OR SOUTHWEST
THE OKLAHOMA CONVECTION WILL MAKE IT AND HAVE TAPERED POPS OFF TO
SLIGHT CHANCE IN THE SOUTHERN CWA. WE MAY NEED TO CONSIDER A FLOOD
WATCH SHOULD A MCS EVENT APPEAR IMMINENT...BUT AS OF 4 AM
CONFIDENCE IS JUST TOO LOW. WILL MENTION HEAVY RAIN AND MARGINAL
SEVERE WEATHER THREAT OVER THE NORTHERN ZONES IN THE HWO.

OTHERWISE...PROVIDED THAT A WIDESPREAD CONVECTIVE EVENT DOES NOT
DISRUPT DAYTIME HEATING TODAY...WE WILL SEE VERY WARM TEMPERATURES
WITH SW LOW LEVEL FLOW BOOSTING LOW LEVEL THICKNESS VALUES. HEAT
INDEX VALUES WILL ALSO FLIRT WITH 105 DEGREES. WE DID NOT GO WITH
A HEAT ADVISORY FOR THE METROPLEX DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF RAIN
COOLED OUTFLOWS ALLOWING FOR LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT REACHING THE
MID 70S.

WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP SOME CHANCE POPS GOING IN THE FORECAST FOR
TONIGHT OVER THE N/NW CWA AS NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT MAY BRING A MCS
OR REMNANT CONVECTION FROM THE TX PANHANDLE IN AFTER MIDNIGHT.
ALSO A STALLED OUT FRONT ALONG THE RED RIVER MAY HELP TO FIRE UP
SOME SCATTERED NOCTURNAL STORMS AS WELL. AFTER TONIGHT...MODELS
SHOW INCREASING HEIGHTS AS THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE STRENGTHENS OVER
THE STATE. THE CHANCES OF RAIN WILL DIMINISH FOR WEDNESDAY THROUGH
FRIDAY DUE TO INCREASED SUBSIDENCE. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO
WARM INTO THE MID 90S FOR MANY LOCATIONS AND IT WILL STAY HUMID.

THE UPPER HIGHS INFLUENCE WILL BE BRIEF...AS IT SLIDES BACK TO THE
WEST LATE FRIDAY AND STRONG NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT RESUMES OVER THE
REGION. WE CONTINUED THE CHANCE OF RAIN FRIDAY NIGHT AND INTO
SATURDAY AS A SHORTWAVE MOVES THROUGH. THIS WILL ALSO BRING A WEAK
FRONT (STRONG BY JULY STANDARDS) THROUGH NORTH TEXAS SATURDAY
WHICH WILL BRING SOME DRIER AND MORE COMFORTABLE AIR TO THE
REGION. LOWS MAY ACTUALLY DIP INTO THE 60S IN OUTLYING AREAS.
