AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
1100 PM CST THU FEB 5 2009

.AVIATION...
FWS VWP SHOWING 45KTS AT 2KFT...GRK HAS 50KTS AT 2KFT. MAY NEED
LLWS OVERNIGHT...UNTIL SFC WINDS INTENSIFY LATE MORNING FRIDAY.
VERY LITTLE LOW CLOUD AT THIS HOUR ON THE COASTAL PLAINS...BUT
WITH STRONG LLJ...STRATUS SHOULD RAPIDLY DEVELOP AND ADVECT
NORTHWARD AFTER MIDNIGHT. CIGS WILL LOWER TO IFR NEAR OR AFTER 12Z
(6 AM CST) BUT WILL LIFT MORE QUICKLY THAN CLIMO WITH ANOMALOUSLY
WARM SURFACE LAYER...BECOMING VFR (EVENTUALLY SCT) BY EARLY
AFTERNOON. SOUTH WINDS WITH SUSTAINED SPEEDS OF 25KTS OR MORE WILL
BE POSSIBLE WITH FREQUENT GUSTS EXCEEDING 30KTS. STRATUS WILL MAKE
A QUICK RETURN FRIDAY NIGHT...LIKELY BECOMING IFR AGAIN BEFORE
DAYBREAK SATURDAY.

25

&&

.UPDATE...
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO SURGE NORTHWARD AS WARM AIR
ADVECTION INCREASES. KFWS VAD WIND PROFILE ALREADY INDICATES 40
KNOTS IN THE LOWEST 2000 FT SO CONDITIONS WILL STAY WARM AND
BREEZY OVERNIGHT WITH LOW CLOUDS DEVELOPING BEFORE SUNRISE.

FRIDAY WILL BE A WARM...HUMID...AND WINDY DAY. WINDS SPEEDS SHOULD
GET UP TO WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA AND THE GRASS FIRE DANGER WILL BE
ELEVATED. RED FLAG WARNING CONDITIONS WILL MOST LIKELY NOT BE MET
DUE TO THE HIGH HUMIDITY.

THE CURRENT FORECAST IS IN GOOD SHAPE BUT WILL DO SOME MINOR
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE HOURLY TEMP/DEW POINT GRIDS.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 323 PM CST THU FEB 5 2009/
HIGHLY AMPLIFIED PATTERN WILL CONTINUE OVER THE CONUS WITH SEVERAL
SHORTWAVES AFFECTING NORTH TEXAS THIS WEEK. EXPECT ABOVE AVERAGE
TEMPERATURES TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AS WARM AIR
ADVECTION REGIME SETS UP ACROSS THE REGION. A WIND ADVISORY MAY BE
NEEDED TOMORROW WITH GUIDANCE SUGGESTING SUSTAINED SPEEDS OF 25 KTS
DURING THE AFTERNOON. GUSTY SOUTH WINDS WILL TRANSPORT MOISTURE
NORTHWARD...RESULTING IN MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND PW VALUES NEAR 1
INCH BY SUNDAY EVENING. PRECIP SHOULD BEGIN SHORTLY THEREAFTER AS
A LEE TROUGH DEVELOPS IN THE TEXAS PANHANDLE AND A WARM FRONT
SLIDES NORTHWARD THROUGH EAST TEXAS. MOST OF THIS INITIAL ACTIVITY
WILL BE IN THE FORM OF WARM ADVECTION SHOWERS.

BY MONDAY AFTERNOON THE MAIN SHORTWAVE AND ATTENDANT SURFACE
TROUGH WILL BEGIN TO PULL OFF TO THE NORTHEAST. AS THIS OCCURS...
A SQUALL LINE IS EXPECTED TO FORM NEAR A DRY LINE AS IT MOVES INTO
THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF OUR CWA. UNIDIRECTIONAL WIND PROFILES
INDICATE THAT DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN SEVERE WEATHER
THREAT...HOWEVER SB INSTABILITY COULD BE TEMPERED BY CLOUD COVER.
THE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT WILL HAVE REACHED THE GREAT LAKES REGION BY
NIGHTFALL...ALLOWING THE DRY LINE TO STALL AND EVENTUALLY MIX BACK
WESTWARD.

SURFACE WINDS WILL REMAIN SOUTHERLY AS ANOTHER SYSTEM DIPS INTO
THE FOUR CORNERS REGION QUICKLY ON THE HEELS OF THE FIRST ONE. THE
GFS IS FASTER AND STRONGER WITH THIS CYCLONE THAN THE ECMWF...
PORTRAYING A NEGATIVELY-TILTED CLOSED LOW PASSING THROUGH NORTH
TEXAS WEDNESDAY. LARGE-SCALE ASCENT AND ELEVATED INSTABILITY WILL
SUPPORT WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

A FEW CLUES INDICATE THIS COULD BE A SIGNIFICANT WEATHER EVENT
EVEN THOUGH MUCH OF IT MAY OCCUR DURING THE NIGHT. STRONG UPPER
LEVEL DIVERGENCE IS NOTED ALONG A 130KT JET MAX WHICH WILL BE
POISED OVER NORTH TEXAS...HELPING TO BOLSTER SEVERE WEATHER
CHANCES WEDNESDAY NIGHT. BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF DEPICT A SURFACE
LOW DEEPENING OVER OKLAHOMA DURING THIS TIME WITH AMPLE MOISTURE
IN PLACE. HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL MOST LIKELY BE A CONCERN AS
THIS EVENT UNFOLDS INTO DAY 8.  SH/13
