Severe Thunderstorm Warning 236, NWS Fort Worth, TX

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
1230 AM CDT THU MAY 31 2007

.AVIATION...
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO FORM ACROSS THE METROPLEX
TAF SITES OVERNIGHT IN THE VICINITY OF AN ELEVATED BOUNDARY.  THE
LOW LEVEL JET IS NOT NEARLY AS STRONG TONIGHT AS IT WAS LAST NIGHT
AND STORMS MAY NOT LAST THROUGH SUNRISE.  EXPECT MVFR CEILINGS TO
RETURN BETWEEN 8 AND 10Z AND REMAIN THROUGH ABOUT 15Z.  VFR CEILINGS
WILL PREVAIL DURING THE DAY.  THERE WILL BE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
STORMS AROUND THIS AFTERNOON BUT COVERAGE WILL BE TOO LIMITED TO
INCLUDE IN THIS TAF PACKAGE.

&&

.UPDATE...
LET SVR WATCH #311 EXPIRE...THOUGH AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM CANT
BE RULED OUT. OTHERWISE...SCT SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING
ALONG ELEVATED 925MB-850MB BOUNDARY PER AREA PROFILERS...ALONG
WITH DIFFLUENCE ALOFT AIDING LIFT. SO ACTIVITY HAS A SLOW DRIFT TO
THE SE AT 10 MPH. IN OTHER WORDS...SOME LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL
WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH SOME TRAINING AND SLOW MOVEMENT OF STORMS.
WILL LET EARLY MORNING SHIFT DECIDE ON A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN A
FEW HRS...WITH TRENDS AND ANTECEDENT SATURATED CONDS. UPDATE
ALREADY SENT.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 950 PM CDT WED MAY 30 2007/

UPDATE...
DID GET AN ISOLATED HAIL REPORT OUT OF FAR NW EASTLAND COUNTY...BUT
KDYX (DYESS AFB) RADAR SHOW STORMS FALLING APART. STILL...AIRMASS
S OF I-20 (EASTLAND/ERATH COUNTIES-SWD) ARE STILL UNSTABLE WITH
DEW PTS AROUND 70...WHILE BACKED FLOW IS NOW OCCURRING OVER YOUNG...
STEPHENS...AND PALO PINTO COUNTIES WITH DEW PTS ABOUT 5 DEG F LESS.
SCT SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS COULD OCCUR FROM MINERAL WELLS
/JACKSBORO...EAST TO FORT WORTH/CLEBURNE/DENTON OVERNIGHT...BUT NOT
EXPECTING SEVERE WX. WILL REMOVE YOUNG/STEPHENS/PALO PINTO FROM SEVERE
WATCH #311...KEEP COUNTIES TO THE SOUTH GOING UNTIL THE MIDNIGHT
EXPIRATION OF THE WATCH.

UPDATED WCN (WATCH STATEMENT) ALREADY HAS BEEN ISSUED AND FORECASTS
UPDATED. WELL CONTINUE TO MONITOR...AS REFORMATION OF STORMS OVER
UNSTABLE SECTOR STILL MAY OCCUR...AS LEDBETTER/PALESTINE PROFILERS
ARE SHOWING 20 KT SLY FLOW DEVELOPING...WHICH IS NE OF WHERE THE
MODELS PROG 30KT SLY LLJ BY LATE EVENING/AFTER...SO WE DONT WANT
TO BE TOO QUICK TO PULL THE SWITCH ON THE REMAINDER OF SEVERE WATCH
#311 JUST YET.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 738 PM CDT WED MAY 30 2007/

UPDATE...
AS EXPECTED...SOME ISOLATED...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ON
WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY NEAR FAR WRN COUNTIES...WITH ONE SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM NOW MOVING SE TOWARD BRECKENRIDGE. EXPECT THE
ACTIVITY TO PROPAGATE SSEWD THROUGH THE EVENING HRS. SPC HAS
ISSUED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH #311 UNTIL MIDNIGHT. UPDATE HAS
BEEN ISSUED. ALSO...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE MONITORED
CLOSELY AS WELL.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 640 PM CDT WED MAY 30 2007/

00Z AVIATION UPDATE...VFR CONDS PREVAILING ATTM AFTER COMPLEX OF
STORMS MOVED THROUGH EARLIER TODAY. ATMOSPHERE IS RECOVERING
ACROSS NORTH TEXAS...BUT FARTHER WEST...WHERE WEAK FRONT IS
POSITIONED ACROSS CENTRAL OKLAHOMA INTO NORTHWEST
TEXAS...ATMOSPHERE IS VERY UNSTABLE. LAST FEW SCANS FROM THE DYESS
88-D SHOWS SOME CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT OCCURRING ALREADY...AND
EXPECT THIS TO CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT HOUR OR SO. EXTENT OF
COVERAGE IS UNCERTAIN...BUT GIVEN AVAILABLE INSTABILITY WOULD
EXPECT DECENT COVERAGE OF TSRA AFTER DARK MAINLY TO THE SOUTHWEST
OF THE DFW AREA. WILL HAVE A MENTION OF TSRA IN THE WACO TAF AFTER
3Z. MVFR CONDS FOR BKN020 CAN BE EXPECTED AREAWIDE LATER TONIGHT
AFTER 9Z. SLIGHT RAIN CHANCES CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY.

91/DUNN

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 626 PM CDT WED MAY 30 2007/

AGREE WITH LATEST SWOMCD AND MESOANALYSIS/SATELLITE-RADAR TRENDS
THAT SOME SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT MAY OCCUR IN OUR FAR
WRN COUNTIES INTO W-CENTRAL TX AND THE HILL COUNTRY. MODELS
SHOWING A 25-35 KT LLJ DEVELOPING OVER THE RIO GRANDE PLAINS RIGHT
UP INTO THIS AREA BY MID- LATE EVENING...WITH VERY HIGH
INSTABILITY AND  40KT 0-6KM BULK SHEAR LEFT OVER FROM THIS
MORNINGS MCS. ALSO...WEAK BOUNDARY TO THE NW OF N TX FOCUSING
SOME INCREASING MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AS WELL. THE WILD-CARD HERE
WILL BE HOW FAR WEST HAS SUBSIDENCE FROM MESOHIGH EXTENDED ABOVE
THE BOUNDARY LAYER AND HOW WILL THIS MODIFY WITH LLJ WELL TO OUR
SW THIS EVENING?

THERES ENOUGH POTENTIAL THERE FOR AN UPDATE TO THE FORECAST...ESPECIALLY
W OF I-35 WHERE WEVE INCREASED THINGS TO MID CHANCE POPS FOR NOW...THOUGH
THIS MAY NEED TO BE RAISED IN OUR FAR W/SW COUNTIES BEFORE 10 PM NEWS
UPDATE. WITH DIFFLUENT MID- UPPER FLOW ALOFT OF THE AREA...PROPAGATION
MAY DOMINATE OVER MEAN 850MB-300MB STEERING CURRENTS...WITH MORE OF
A SE OR SSE MOVEMENT TO POTENTIAL OVERNIGHT COMPLEX. WELL BE MONITORING
ALL THIS CLOSELY THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. STAY TUNED. FORECAST UPDATE
ON THE WAY.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 306 PM CDT WED MAY 30 2007/

WILL CANCEL THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH BEFORE PUTTING THE ZONES OUT.
SOME RESIDUAL RIVER AND LOW WATER CROSSING FLOODING IS
OCCURRING...BUT RAIN HAS PRETTY MUCH LEFT THE AREA. A SLIGHT
CHANCE FOR AFTN/EVE TSTMS EXISTS IN THE SOUTHWEST BUT COVERAGE
SHOULD BE FAIRLY LOW.

NAM AND GFS QUICKLY DIVERGE...WITH GFS BRINGING FRONT INTO AREA
AND REDEVELOPING PRECIP OVERNIGHT. NAM HOLDS BACK FRONT NORTHWEST
OF CHILDRESS AND KEEPS SOUTH FLOW AS FAR NORTH AS NRN KANSAS.
HAVE GONE MORE WITH THE NAM SOLUTION AS GFS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE
INITIALIZED VERY WELL...IT HAS AFTN PRECIP ACROSS MUCH OF
OKLAHOMA TODAY WHICH IS NOT OCCURRING. HAVE KEPT LOW POPS
OVERNIGHT DUE TO UNCERTAINTY. THURSDAY LOOKS DRY...BUT THEN BY
FRIDAY NRN COUNTIES COULD SEE SOME PRECIP FROM SRN END OF
DISTURBANCES SWINGING THROUGH THE PLAINS. NEXT FRONT PROGGED IN
FOR SUNDAY AND HAVE CHANCE POPS FOR WHOLE AREA. LINGERING LOW
POPS CONTINUE THRU TUESDAY IN THE SOUTH. HAVE LEFT WEDNESDAY
DRY...WITH HIGH TEMPS LOW 90S FOR METROPLEX. NOT UNUSUAL...ONLY A
DEGREE OR TWO ABOVE CLIMATOLOGY...BUT WE HAVE NOT SEEN MUCH WARM
WEATHER YET THIS SPRING SO IT WILL FEEL EXTRA HOT AND MUGGY.
