AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
1202 PM CDT SUN APR 8 2012

.AVIATION...
A THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX GENERATED BY A WEAK WAVE ROTATING AROUND
THE NORTHEASTERN PERIPHERY OF AN UPPER RIDGE HAS BEEN TRUDGING
SLOWLY EAST ALONG THE RED RIVER. MEANWHILE...A WEAK COLD FRONT WAS
BECOMING STATIONARY NEAR THE DALLAS-FORT WORTH METROPLEX...AND HAS
BECOME THE FOCUS FOR ADDITIONAL SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT AS FAR SOUTH AS THE I-20 CORRIDOR WHERE MOISTURE HAS
POOLED NEAR THE DIFFUSE BOUNDARY. THE ATMOSPHERE NEAR THE FRONT
HAS BECOME MARGINALLY UNSTABLE WITH ML CAPE AROUND 1200 J/KG AND
RAPIDLY WEAKENING CIN.

WILL INCLUDE THUNDER AS A TEMPORARY CONDITION AT ALL METROPLEX
TERMINALS THROUGH MID AFTERNOON. THE SHORTWAVE WILL THEN
MIGRATE SOUTHEAST AND AWAY FROM TAF SITES LATE THIS AFTERNOON
BRINGING AN END TO THE PRECIP THIS EVENING. NORTHEAST WINDS SHOULD
SHIFT BACK TO THE SOUTHEAST AS THE FRONT MEANDERS NORTH OF THE
METROPLEX LATER THIS AFTERNOON.  QUIETER WEATHER CAN THEN BE
EXPECTED LATE TONIGHT AND TOMORROW UNTIL ANOTHER WAVE IN THE
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT BRINGS ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION TO THE
AREA AGAIN MONDAY NIGHT.

&&

.UPDATE...
THE THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX NEAR THE RED RIVER WILL CONTINUE TO
AFFECT AREAS MAINLY NORTHEAST OF A GAINESVILLE...EMORY LINE
THROUGH MIDDAY. SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN IS OCCURRING. A QUICK
UPDATE WAS DONE EARLIER TO INCREASE THE POPS TO LIKELY CATEGORY
ACROSS THE NORTHEAST. HAVE JUST DONE ANOTHER UPDATE TO INCREASE
POPS FURTHER. THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD START TO TAPER OFF BY
EARLY AFTERNOON. CONVECTION SHOULD START TO INITIATE NEAR THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT EXTENDS SOUTH OF A MOUNT PLEASANT...
TERRELL...COMANCHE LINE DURING THE AFTERNOON.

.PREV DISCUSSION...
 /ISSUED 448 AM CDT SUN APR 8 2012/
REGIONAL SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT A SHALLOW COLD FRONT
HAD BECOME NEARLY STATIONARY ALONG A CISCO TO CLEBURNE TO SULPHUR
SPRINGS LINE EARLY THIS MORNING. REGIONAL RADAR IMAGERY SHOWED A
CLUSTER OF CONVECTION JUST NORTH OF THE RED RIVER AND A QUASI-
LINEAR CONVECTIVE SYSTEM (QLCS) LOCATED NEAR A JUNCTION TO DEL RIO
LINE...PUSHING SOUTHEAST EARLY THIS MORNING. EARLY MORNING WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY DEPICTS UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS OVER THE
NORTHEAST AND NORTH CENTRAL CONUS WITH A THIRD SYSTEM JUST OFF
SHORE THE NORTHWEST PACIFIC COAST. THIS LEAVES A RELATIVELY FLAT
UPPER RIDGE IN PLACE OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS THIS MORNING.

TODAY AND TONIGHT...THE CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY NORTH OF
THE RED RIVER HAS BEEN NEARLY STATIONARY SINCE MIDNIGHT...BUT HAS
SHOWN A TENDENCY TO BUILD SLOWLY SOUTH SINCE 3 AM CDT. THESE
STORMS ARE IN PLACE ROUGHLY IN LINE WITH A H925 DEFORMATION ZONE
DEPICTED ON REGIONAL VAD WIND PROFILES. THERE MAY ALSO BE A SUBTLE
SHORTWAVE TROUGH AIDING IN PROVIDING SOME FORCING FOR ASCENT NEAR
THE RED RIVER THIS MORNING...HOWEVER SATELLITE IMAGERY IS STRONGLY
INFLUENCED BY CONVECTIVE DEBRIS CLOUDS FROM OVERNIGHT
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...SO ANY SUBTLE SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS MASKED
AT THIS TIME.

THE FACT THAT CONVECTION NEAR WICHITA FALLS FELL APART SUDDENLY
THIS MORNING ALSO GIVES SOME SUPPORT TO THE PASSAGE OF A SHORTWAVE
TROUGH...BUT AGAIN...DETECTION OF THIS FEATURE IS DIFFICULT AT
THIS TIME. REGARDLESS...FOR THE MORNING HRS KEPT CHANCE POPS NORTH
OF A GRAHAM TO SULPHUR SPRINGS LINE ASSUMING THAT CONVECTION WILL
CONTINUE TO FALL APART FROM WEST TO EAST AFTER SUNRISE. THIS
ASSUMES THAT A SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS PARTIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS
CONVECTION AND THAT ITS PASSAGE WILL SPREAD SOME SUBSIDENCE ALONG
THE RED RIVER AS IT MOVES EAST THIS MORNING. JUST IN CASE THIS IS
A POOR ASSUMPTION...LEFT 20 POPS IN THE FORECAST THIS MORNING FOR
ALL AREAS NORTH OF THE SURFACE FRONT JUST IN CASE WEAK
FRONTOGENETIC FORCING AND ISENTROPIC ASCENT ARE THE PRIMARY
PLAYERS WITH ONGOING CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY.

FOR THIS AFTERNOON...ASSUMING CONVECTION TO THE NORTH OF THE RED
RIVER EITHER DISSIPATES OR REMAINS NORTH OF THE CWA...AFTERNOON
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES SHOULD BE MORE CLOSELY TIED TO THE SURFACE
COLD/STATIONARY BOUNDARY ACROSS NORTH TX. THE DEARTH OF UPSTREAM
CONVECTION FOR NORTH TX SHOULD ALLOW UPPER LEVEL CLOUD COVER TO
DISSIPATE BY THIS AFTERNOON. WITH SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS AND A
STALLED OUT FRONTAL BOUNDARY BISECTING THE CWA...PEAK HEATING IS
EXPECTED TO RESULT IN A LARGELY UNCAPPED ATMOSPHERE ALONG AND
SOUTH OF THE COLD FRONT THIS AFTERNOON. MOST MODELS INDICATE
ANYWHERE FROM 1000 TO 1500 J/KG OF SURFACE BASED CAPE NEAR THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY THIS AFTERNOON. WITH BROAD UPPER LEVEL RIDGING IN
PLACE OVER THE REGION...UPPER LEVEL WINDS AND SHEAR PROFILES
REMAIN WEAK...SO ANY THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WOULD LIKELY BE IN THE
FORM OF A MULTI-CELLULAR MODE.

THE PRIMARY FORECAST CHALLENGE IS DETERMINING WHAT THE IMPETUS
FOR ASCENT IS GOING TO BE TO ALLOW THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ACROSS
NORTH TX THIS AFTERNOON. WITHOUT ANY OBVIOUS UPSTREAM SHORTWAVE
TROUGH LARGE SCALE SUPPORT IS EXPECTED TO BE NEUTRAL OR POSSIBLY
WEAKLY SUBSIDENT WITHIN THE BROAD RIDGE AXIS. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT
CONVECTION NORTH OF THE RED RIVER WILL HAVE SOME IMPACT ON
CONVECTIVE CHANCES THIS AFTERNOON...BUT IF THIS ACTIVITY
DISSIPATES BY THE MID-MORNING HOURS IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE HOW
THIS WILL IMPACT THUNDERSTORM CHANCES TO THE SOUTH ACROSS NORTH
TX. THAT LEAVES THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY ITSELF WHICH IS EXPECTED TO
SUPPLY ONLY WEAK FORCING FOR ASCENT THROUGH CONVERGENCE AND
FRONTOGENETIC FORCING. BECAUSE THIS FEATURE IS ALREADY IN PLACE
WENT AHEAD AND KEPT HIGHEST POPS OVER AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE
FRONT FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. ASSUMING STORMS DEVELOP
THIS AFTERNOON...THERE IS A MARGINAL SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WITH
LARGE HAIL AND ISOLATED DAMAGING WINDS THE PRIMARY HAZARDS. WEAK
WINDS WILL PROMOTE SLOW MOVING STORMS SO LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL
AND FLOODING IS ALSO A POSSIBILITY.

THE BROAD UPPER RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO ACTUALLY AMPLIFY A BIT
THROUGHOUT THE DAY WHILE RETROGRADING TO THE WEST. THIS WILL
RESULT IN NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS STARTING
THIS EVENING AND PERSISTING THROUGH EARLY THIS UPCOMING WEEK. THIS
WILL RESULT IN ANY THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THAT DEVELOPS ALONG THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY THIS AFTERNOON TO SLIDE SOUTHEAST OVER THE
SOUTHERN CWA THIS EVENING. EXPECT THAT MOST ACTIVITY WILL EITHER
DISSIPATE OR MOVE OFF TO THE SOUTH AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.

MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL KEEP AN
UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN IN PLACE FOR NORTH TX FOR THE FIRST HALF
OF THE UPCOMING WEEK. IN GENERAL THE STALLED OUT FRONTAL BOUNDARY
IS EXPECTED TO EITHER DISSIPATE OR MOVE NORTH AND BECOME
ESTABLISHED OVER OK AND INTO THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS THROUGH THE
PERIOD. THIS WILL LIKELY RESULT IN DAILY AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY NEAR THE TX AND OK PANHANDLES WHICH WILL TEND TO MOVE
SOUTHEAST TOWARDS NORTH TX LATE EACH AFTERNOON THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. DEPENDING ON WHERE THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY SETS UP
TO THE NORTH...AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORM CHANCES MAY BE FAVORED OVER
NORTH TX AS WELL DURING THE PERIOD.

SEVERE WEATHER CHANCES...STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES SOUTH OF THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY COMBINED WITH RELATIVELY DEEP GULF MOISTURE
ALREADY IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION WILL ALLOW FOR MODERATE
INSTABILITY FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT EACH AFTERNOON. OVERALL
DEEP LAYER SHEAR OVER NORTH TX IS NOT EXPECTED TO INCREASE
DRAMATICALLY THROUGH THE PERIOD...HOWEVER UPSTREAM SHEAR WILL BE
SUPPORTIVE OF A SUPERCELL STORM MODE AT LEAST FOR MONDAY AND
TUESDAY AFTERNOONS. AFTERNOON SUPERCELL ACTIVITY WOULD LIKELY GROW
UPSCALE INTO A LINEAR MCS OR QLCS BEFORE MOVING SOUTHEAST INTO
NORTH TX. THIS WOULD RESULT IN A LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND
THREAT FOR PORTIONS OF NORTH TX MOST LIKELY IN THE EVENING HOURS
ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY. CONVECTION MAY CONTINUE SOUTHEAST THROUGH
THE OVERNIGHT HRS...HOWEVER PERSISTENT RADIATIONAL COOLING MAKES
SEVERE WEATHER LESS LIKELY DEEPER INTO THE OVERNIGHT HRS. IF
AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS REALIZED...SEVERE WEATHER
CHANCES WOULD BE HIGHER ACROSS NORTH TX AND A CHANCE FOR AN
ISOLATED TORNADO COULD NOT BE RULED OUT.

THIS PATTERN MAY PERSIST ON WEDNESDAY...HOWEVER THE GFS AND ECMWF
INDICATE THAT A POWERFUL SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE TOWARDS THE
REGION ON WEDNESDAY NUDGING THE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE CWA DURING
THE AFTERNOON OR EVENING HRS. IF THIS VERIFIES THEN THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY WOULD BE LESS LIKELY ON WEDNESDAY. THE CANADIAN IS
NOTABLY SLOWER WITH THIS SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND GIVES NORTH TX ONE
MORE DAY OF NORTHWEST FLOW MCS/THUNDERSTORM CHANCES FOR WEDNESDAY.
KEPT BROAD BRUSHED 20 POPS IN PLACE ACROSS THE CWA ON WEDNESDAY
JUST IN CASE THE CANADIAN SOLUTION IS CORRECT...HOWEVER SIDED MORE
WITH THE GFS/ECMWF AND REMOVED POPS FROM WEDNESDAY NIGHT TIME
FRAME.

EXTENDED..,ALL GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT A STRONG SHORTWAVE TROUGH
WILL MOVE TOWARDS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS LATE IN THE UPCOMING WEEK.
GUIDANCE ALSO INDICATES THAT THIS WILL BE FOLLOWED UP BY THE
PASSAGE OF AN EVEN STRONGER UPPER LOW WHICH CURRENTLY RESIDES OFF
SHORE THE NORTHWEST PACIFIC COAST.

AS MENTIONED ABOVE...THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE IN LINE WITH A FASTER
TIMING FOR THIS FIRST TROUGH AND BRING IT THROUGH THE PLAINS ON
THURSDAY. BOTH MODELS TRACK THE CORE OF THIS TROUGH WELL NORTH OF
THE CWA...BUT SPREAD SOME LARGE SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT OVER THE
REGION. WENT AHEAD AND MAINTAINED 20 POPS AS THERE WILL BE PLENTY
OF CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL ENERGY FOR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ON
THURSDAY AND DEEP WARM AIR ADVECTION IN RESPONSE TO THE APPROACH
OF THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH. THE PRIMARY FACTOR THAT PRECLUDES MENTION
OF HIGHER POPS IS THE STRONG SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. THIS FLOW
REGIME SHOULD RESULT IN THE TRANSPORT OF A STRONG ELEVATED MIXED
LAYER AND ASSOCIATED CAP IN PLACE OVER NORTH TX ON THURSDAY. THIS
WILL INFLATE CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL ENERGY MEASUREMENTS BUT OVERALL
SEEMS TO INDICATE LESS OF A CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IN
THE ABSENCE OF STRONG FORCING FOR ASCENT.

THE PASSAGE OF THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH ON THURSDAY SHOULD RESULT IN
SOME WEAK FORCING FOR SUBSIDENCE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE CAP OVER
THE REGION FOR FRIDAY...SO WENT AHEAD AND REMOVED POPS FROM THE
FORECAST FOR FRIDAY AT THIS TIME. BY SATURDAY THE GFS AND ECMWF
BOTH INDICATE THAT THE POWERFUL NORTHWEST UPPER LOW WILL MOVE OVER
THE SOUTHERN CONUS ROCKIES. THIS WILL RESULT IN THE SHARPENING UP
OF A DRYLINE OVER THE WESTERN CWA SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND MAY
RESULT IN SOME STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY OVER THE
WESTERN CWA. THE BEST CHANCE FOR WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
WILL OCCUR WHEN THE BIG UPPER LOW MOVES NORTHEAST OVER THE REGION.
AT THIS TIME THE GFS AND ECMWF DISAGREE ON WHEN THIS WILL
OCCUR...SO JUST WENT AHEAD WITH BROAD BRUSHED LOW POPS FOR SUNDAY
AND MONDAY AS A RESULT. POPS WILL BE ABLE TO BE REFINED IN LATER
FORECASTS ONCE GLOBAL MODELS AGREE ON THE TIMING OF THIS LARGE
UPPER LOW.
