STRONG SW WINDS AHEAD OF APPROACHING SYSTEM (700-600MB) HAVE
CREATED SIGNIFICANT CAP AT 700MB (10C)...EVIDENT ON 18Z FWD
SOUNDING. ACARS SOUNDINGS SHOWING CAP OF AT LEAST 8C NEAR 700MB AS
RECENT AS 2 PM. THIS HAS KEPT THE SFC LAYER UNTAPPED...THOUGH
SOME ELEVATED CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED NORTH OF DFW...AIDED BY THE
ENHANCED MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES (7-8C/KM) OWING TO WARM/DRY
ADVECTION WITHIN ELEVATED INVERSION. ACARS GIVING EVIDENCE OF
LARGE SCALE LIFT RAISING/COOLING INVERSION AT A RATE OF 25MB/HR.

ERODING IN WESTERN REACHES OF CWA.

CONVECTION SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE EVENING HOURS. A BREAK
IS LIKELY TO OCCUR OVERNIGHT BEFORE DRYLINE SURGE AND ASSOCIATED
SQUALL LINE BLOWS THROUGH CWA. LINE SHOULD BE NEAR I-35 CORRIDOR
NEAR OR AFTER DAYBREAK...INTO EASTERN ZONES MIDDAY INTO THE
AFTERNOON. TRANSITION FROM SIGNIFICANT POPS TO MINIMAL CLOUDCOVER
WILL BE RAPID IN REALITY...BUT MORE CONSERVATIVE IN GRIDS DUE TO
SOME UNCERTAINTY IN TIMING. THURSDAY WORDING IN ZFP MAY BE
MISLEADING.
