AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
348 PM CDT THU AUG 21 2008

.DISCUSSION...
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS WILL REMAIN DRAPED ACROSS NORTH TEXAS FOR
THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THIS WILL MAINTAIN THE CHANCE FOR PRIMARILY
AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND STORMS. THE COVERAGE TOMORROW WILL BE MAINLY
OVER THE SOUTHEAST HALF OF THE CWA...SIMILAR TO TODAY. THE CHANCES
OF HIT OR MISS AFTERNOON SHOWERS/STORMS WILL EXPAND TO ENCOMPASS
THE ENTIRE CWA OVER THE WEEKEND AS UPPER LEVEL SHEAR AXIS
INTENSIFIES OVER THE REGION. THE BEST CHANCES OF SIGNIFICANT
RAINFALL OR FLOODING WILL LIKELY REMAIN TO THE SOUTH OF THE CWA
THIS WEEKEND...WHERE AN UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL MEANDER AROUND THE
DEL RIO AREA. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL WARM TO NEAR OR JUST SHY OF
NORMAL AS LOW LEVEL THERMAL PROFILES INCREASE...BUT NO 100+ TEMPS
ARE FORESEEN THROUGH THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. OVERALL...MAV/MEX MOS
NUMBERS APPEAR REASONABLE.

MEANWHILE...TROPICAL STORM FAY WILL BEGIN TO SLOWLY MOVE WEST
ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF COAST BEFORE FINALLY GETTING PICKED UP
IN THE WESTERLIES BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. FAY WILL BE CLOSE
ENOUGH TO NORTH TEXAS FOR SOME INDIRECT EFFECTS ON SUNDAY AND
MONDAY. THE LARGE CIRCULATION OF FAY SHOULD HELP SEND A WEAK
FRONT/WIND SHIFT THROUGH NORTH TEXAS LATE SUNDAY WITH WINDS
BECOMING NORTHEASTERLY BEHIND IT. THE HIGHEST COVERAGE OF
CONVECTION WILL PROBABLY BE ON SUNDAY ALONG/AHEAD OF THIS WIND
SHIFT. THEREAFTER THE DRIER NORTHEAST LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL PUSH THE
DEEP MOISTURE SOUTH OF THE AREA...SO HAVE TAPERED OFF POPS TO JUST
10 PERCENT AFTER MONDAY. A RETURN TO MORE NORMAL LATE AUGUST
WEATHER WILL OCCUR BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK - WITH LIGHT SOUTH
WINDS...HIGHS IN THE MID-UPPER 90S...AND EXCEPT FOR THE ROUGE
AFTERNOON SHOWER...MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES.
