AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
650 AM CDT TUE JUL 31 2007

.12Z AVIATION UPDATE...COMPLICATED TAF FORECAST FOR THE NEXT 12
HOURS WITH SCATTERED/NUMEROUS SHRA/TSRA DEVELOPING ACROSS NORTH
TEXAS. WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY COMBINED WITH SUBTLE SHORTWAVES
AND AMPLE TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT SHRA/TSRA
DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE MORNING AND AFTERNOON. BEST CONVERGENCE
AND LIFT FROM WEAK IMPULSE IS LOCATED JUST TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE
METROPLEX THIS MORNING AND THIS IS WHERE THE HEAVIEST OF THE
PRECIPITATION IS LOCATED. INDICATIONS ARE THAT WEAK BOUNDARY WILL
DRIFT SLIGHTLY TO THE WEST TODAY WHICH SHOULD HELP FOCUS NEW
DEVELOPMENT SLIGHTLY FARTHER WEST. BOUNDARY INTERACTION WILL ALSO
AGAIN BE A PRIMARY FACTOR IN NEW TSRA DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE DAY.
WILL START OFF WITH VCSH IN THE METROPLEX UNDER VFR CONDS...
ALTHOUGH IFR CONDS WILL PERSIST JUST TO THE NORTH FOR REDUCED VSBY
IN PATCHY FOG AND LOW CIGS. THINK SHRA/TSRA WILL SLOWLY DEVELOP
WEST THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE MORNING SO WILL SHOW VCTS BY 15Z
WITH TEMPO TSRA THROUGH ABOUT 22Z. WILL SHOW ONSET SLIGHTLY LATER
AT AFW/FTW. FARTHER SOUTH AT WACO...WILL KEEP PRECIP OUT FOR NOW
AS FOCUS SHOULD REMAIN TO THE NORTH. WINDS WILL REMAIN LGT/VAR
THROUGH THE PERIOD. AMENDMENTS TO PRECIP TIMING LIKELY THROUGH MID AFTN.
