...A FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1030 PM CST FOR
TARRANT...NORTHWESTERN COLLIN AND SOUTHERN DENTON COUNTIES...

AT 835 PM CST...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE METEOROLOGISTS DETECTED  
THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN ALONG A LINE EXTENDING FROM 17 MILES   
EAST OF PROSPER TO 5 MILES EAST OF EDGECLIFF...MOVING EAST AT 30   
MPH. RADAR INDICATES THAT 1 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN HAS ALREADY FALLEN. 
ANOTHER 1 TO 2 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH 1030 PM CST.  NEW 
CONVECTION IS MOVING INTO NORTHWEST TARRANT COUNTY...SO BE 
ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS IN THAT AREA.

EXCESSIVE RUNOFF WILL CAUSE FLASH FLOODING OF SMALL CREEKS AND
STREAMS...HIGHWAYS AND UNDERPASSES. ADDITIONALLY...COUNTRY ROADS AND
FARMLAND ALONG THE BANKS OF CREEKS AND STREAMS AND OTHER LOW LYING
AREAS ARE SUBJECT TO FLASH FLOODING.

BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS HARDER TO RECOGNIZE THE
DANGERS OF FLASH FLOODS. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT AT NIGHT TO TELL HOW
MUCH WATER IS ON THE ROADS. IT ONLY TAKES TWO FEET OF RUSHING WATER
TO CARRY AWAY MOST SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES AND PICKUPS. MOTORISTS
SHOULD NOT DRIVE THROUGH WATER OF UNKNOWN DEPTH. TAKE A DIFFERENT
ROUTE TO REACH YOUR DESTINATION OR WAIT UNTIL THE WATER RECEDES.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
538 PM CST MON NOV 10 2008

.AVIATION...
WARM FRONT NOW STRETCHES FROM NEAR WICHITA FALLS...TO JUST WEST OF
DFW...TO WEST OF LUFKIN. STORMS ARE WEAKENING AS THEY MOVE EAST
OF THIS BOUNDARY. TSRA WILL EVENTUALLY REACH DFW AND DAL AS THE
ENTIRE LINE AREA OF CONVECTION SHIFTS SLOWLY EAST. WILL SHOW
PREVAILING TSRA UNTIL 04Z AND THEN RA FOR A FEW HOURS THEREAFTER.
LACK OF A FRONTAL PASSAGE...A STRONG LLJ...AND LEFTOVER LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE WILL CONTRIBUTE TO IFR CIGS AND BR FOR A FEW HOURS
TOMORROW MORNING. DAL AND ACT WILL SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION
BETWEEN 10 AND 16Z TOMORROW AS THE COLD FRONT FINALLY MOVES
THROUGH. WINDS AT ALL SITES WILL BECOME NORTHWEST BETWEEN 20-23Z

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 327 PM CST MON NOV 10 2008/
COMPLEX FORECAST SITUATION HEADED INTO THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT
WITH WARM FRONT DRAPED ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST HALF OF THE CWA THIS
EVENING AND STRONG UPPER LOW MOVING THROUGH THE SOUTHERN PLAINS.
LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SUGGESTS THAT EFFECTIVE WARM FRONT LIES
NEAR THE SURFACE LOW IN THE TEXAS PANHANDLE TO WICHITA FALLS TO
HILLSBORO TO NEAR BEAUMONT ON THE TEXAS COAST. 18Z NAM HAS A GOOD
HANDLE ON THE INSTABILITY ACROSS THE CWA...ALTHOUGH IT IS A LITTLE
FAR EAST WITH THE WARM FRONT. W/V IMAGERY SHOWS TRAILING S/W
MOVING INTO FAR WEST TEXAS ATTM...AND THIS WILL MOVE INTO CENTRAL
TEXAS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS HELPING SUSTAIN SYNOPTIC LIFT
ACROSS THE AREA. LATEST RUNS OF THE GFS/NAM INDICATE THAT UPPER
JET MAX WILL ALSO IMPINGE ON THE AREA THIS EVENING INCREASING THE
DIVERGENT FLOW ALOFT.

ONGOING ACTIVITY SHOULD CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING AND BECOME
INCREASINGLY ELEVATED AS STORMS MOVE EAST OF THE WARM FRONT
PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN COUNTIES. HAIL WOULD BE PRIMARY
THREAT IN THESE AREA. FARTHER SOUTH...SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY WILL INCREASE IN COVERAGE AS UPPER LIFT INCREASES THIS
EVENING. AREAS PRIMARILY SOUTH AND WEST OF A BRECKENRIDGE TO ATHENS
LINE WILL HAVE THE GREATEST DAMAGING WIND AND TORNADO THREAT INTO
THE NIGHTTIME HOURS. SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY OF 500-750J/KG
COMBINED WITH STRONG LOW LEVEL SHEAR WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT
SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING TORNADOES. IN
ADDITION...WITH PWS IN EXCESS OF 1.5 INCHES...SOME OVERNIGHT HEAVY
RAINFALL WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE IN AREAS WHERE TRAINING OCCURS.

ACTIVITY WILL LINGER AROUND...PRIMARILY ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF
THE CWA ON TUESDAY AND INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. HAVE ALSO RETAINED SOME
LOW POPS INTO WEDNESDAY AS LINGERING TROF WILL BE SLOW TO MOVE OUT
OF SOUTHERN TEXAS. BEYOND MIDWEEK...HAVE KEPT THE FORECAST DRY. A
FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA BY THE WEEKEND WITH MUCH COOLER
TEMPERATURES.
