AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
346 AM CDT WED MAY 30 2012

.DISCUSSION...
A COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE MOVING SOUTHEAST OUT OF
SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA EARLY THIS MORNING. MID LEVEL INSTABILITY WILL
REMAIN HIGH AND RESULT IN THE SOME SEVERE STORMS. THE PRIMARY
HAZARD FROM THESE STORMS WILL BE LARGE HAIL SINCE THEY WILL REMAIN
NORTH OF A STRONG OUTFLOW BOUNDARY. THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY SHOULD
BEGIN TO LOOSE ITS SOUTHWARD PUSH LATER THIS MORNING AND RETREAT
NORTHWARD THROUGH THE DAY AS SURFACE LOW PRESSURE DEEPENS ACROSS
THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS. THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY SHOULD
BE A SOURCE FOR ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON
AND THIS EVENING. HIGH INSTABILITY AND FAVORABLE WIND SHEAR WILL
RESULT IN SOME SUPERCELL STORMS WITH A POTENTIAL FOR HAIL...
DOWNBURST WINDS AND EVEN SOME ISOLATED TORNADOES AS SURFACE WINDS
BACK WITH THE RETREATING BOUNDARY. THE MOST LIKELY AREA FOR SEVERE
STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING WILL BE NORTH OF THE
INTERSTATE 20 CORRIDOR...BUT THE THREAT AREA WILL ALL HINGE ON HOW
FAR NORTH THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY RETREATS.

ANOTHER COMPLEX OF STORMS IS LIKELY TO FORM IN OKLAHOMA TONIGHT AS
A SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVES ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND ALLOWS A
COLD FRONT TO PROPAGATE SOUTHWARD. THE BEST CHANCE OF STORMS
OVERNIGHT WILL BE ACROSS THE NORTHEAST ZONES WITH STORM CHANCES
SHIFTING TO THE EAST/SOUTHEAST ON THURSDAY. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT/THURSDAY. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL
END FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST THURSDAY AS DRIER AND MORE STABLE
AIR MOVES IN BEHIND THE COLD FRONT.

UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE WESTERN CONUS LATE IN
THE WEEK THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND KEEP NORTH TEXAS IN NORTHWEST
FLOW ALOFT. OVERALL THE FORECAST SHOULD BE DRY FROM THURSDAY NIGHT
THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. HOWEVER...THERE IS A CHANCE FOR A FEW
STORMS THAT DEVELOP ON THE HIGH PLAINS FRIDAY NIGHT TO REACH THE
NORTHWEST ZONES SATURDAY. FOR NOW WE WILL KEEP SATURDAY POPS AT
10 PERCENT BUT WILL HAVE TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THIS OVER THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS.

WARM TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TODAY WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS MAINLY
IN THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 90S. TEMPERATURES THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WILL
BE CONSIDERABLY COOLER WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE 80S AND LOWS IN
THE 50S AND 60S. BUILDING UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE AND INCREASING LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE WILL RESULT IN WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS EARLY
NEXT WEEK WITH HIGHS IN THE 90S.
