AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
719 PM CDT TUE APR 26 2011

.AVIATION...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM PASSED VERY NEAR ACT DURING THE PAST
HOUR...LOOKS LIKE POTENTIAL IS STILL THERE FOR SOME REDEVELOPMENT
THERE JUST E OF DRYLINE DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS. LEFT VCTS IN
TAFS THERE AND ALL BUT AFW FOR THE EVENING...THOUGH THREAT IS
LOOKING LESS AND LESS FOR TARRANT COUNTY TERMINALS. ALSO KEPT
TEMPO GROUPS IN AT DALLAS LOVE AS IT IS THE EASTERN-MOST SITE AND
IS GETTING CLOSE CALLS FROM ACTIVITY TO THE SOUTH AND EAST.

WINDS ARE DIFFICULT GIVEN THE POSITION OF THE SURFACE LOW. ITS
EXACT MOVEMENT WILL DETERMINE VELOCITIES AT METROPLEX SITES. RIGHT
NOW HAVE GONE WITH PERSISTENT N-NE WINDS WITH THE THINKING BEING
THAT THE LOW WILL PASS JUST SOUTH OF TARRANT/DALLAS
COUNTIES...WITH A SWITCH-AROUND TO THE WEST LATE TONIGHT. MAIN
FRONTAL PUSH SHOULD ARRIVE TOMORROW MORNING AND WILL BRING GUSTY
NORTHWEST WINDS AREAWIDE.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 215 PM CDT TUE APR 26 2011/
PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION TODAY AND THIS EVENING...WITH
ALL ELEMENTS IN PLACE FOR LARGE HAIL...TORNADOES...DAMAGING WINDS
INTERSTATE 35 CORRIDOR AND EAST. CAPE VALUES IN WARM SECTOR ARE
OVER 4000 JOULES...AND 0-1 KM HELICITY VALUES NEAR FRONT ARE
ABOVE 300. AS CYCLOGENESIS OCCURS TODAY...WARM FRONT SHOULD
RETREAT NORTHWARD AND DRY LINE SHOULD PUSH EAST. TRIPLE POINT
INITIALLY NEAR BOSQUE COUNTY SHOULD PUSH NORTH ACROSS THE
METROPLEX. BEST SPOT FOR INITIAL CONVECTION IS NEAR TRIPLE POINT
SOUTH OF METROPLEX. STORM MOTION IS NORTHEAST...WITH RIGHT MOVING
SUPERCELLS MOVING EAST NORTHEAST. THIS WOULD KEEP THEM IN THE
WARM SECTOR AND ALLOW FOR LONG TRACK TORNADOES AND/OR WIDESPREAD
HAIL.

BY EARLY MORNING COLD FRONT SWEEPS ACROSS THE AREA AND PRECIP
SHOULD BE LIMITED TO THE NORTHEAST BY SUNRISE...ENDING SHORTLY
THEREAFTER. NO CHANGES FOR REST OF THE WEEK WITH NEXT SYSTEM
SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY.   84
