AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
622 PM CDT WED AUG 14 2013

.AVIATION...
SMALL AREA OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS MOVING SSE AND WILL BE OUT OF
METROPLEX AIRPORTS EXCEPT KGKY BY TAF VALID TIME. WILL LEAVE ONE
HOUR OF TEMPO AT KGKY FOR THE STORM IN SRN TARRANT/SW DALLAS
COUNTIES. OUTFLOW HAS PUSHED THROUGH WACO AND ALTHOUGH STORMS
THERE ARE WEAKENING...THREAT OF TSRA WILL CONTINUE FOR A COUPLE
OF HOURS. WHEN THIS ROUND OF STORMS GETS DONE THIS EVENING...WX
SHOULD BE BENIGN THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING. MORE STORMS POSSIBLE
STARTING FRIDAY MORNING. 84

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 205 PM CDT WED AUG 14 2013/
UPPER TROUGHING CONTINUES TO DEEPEN OVER THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE
NATION....CAUSING THE SOUTHERN CONUS UPPER RIDGE TO RETREAT WEST
INTO THE DESERT SOUTHWEST. THE RESULTING NORTHWEST FLOW OVERHEAD
HAD LED TO COOLING AIR ALOFT...THE SOUTHWARD PUSH OF A LATE SUMMER
COLD FRONT AND BENEFICIAL RAINFALL ACROSS PARTS OF NORTH TEXAS
OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS. THE TREND WILL CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING AS THE SURFACE FRONT...SEEMINGLY LOCATED OVER THE SOUTHERN
COUNTIES OF NORTH TEXAS ALONG A LINE ROUGHLY FROM PALESTINE
LAMPASAS...PROVIDES FOCUS FOR ADDITIONAL SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT DURING PEAK HEATING HOURS. THE SEVERE POTENTIAL WILL
REMAIN MARGINAL ONCE AGAIN TODAY DUE IN LARGE PART TO THE LACK OF
SUFFICIENT SHEAR IN PLACE. HOWEVER...ML CAPE APPROACHING 1500 J/KG
COMBINED WITH PWATS AROUND 2 IN SHOULD LEAD TO A FEW SEVERE STORMS
WITH DAMAGING WINDS THE MAIN THREAT.

FARTHER NORTH ACROSS THE REST OF NORTH TEXAS... ADEQUATE MOISTURE
WILL STILL BE PRESENT FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING. THIS IS SOMEWHAT DEPENDENT ON HOW
QUICKLY OR EFFECTIVELY THE LINGERING CLOUDCOVER FROM THIS MORNING/S
ACTIVITY DISPERSES. THE BEST RAIN CHANCES WILL OCCUR WHERE
CLOUDCOVER THINS ENOUGH TO ALLOW TEMPS TO CLIMB TO NEAR CONVECTIVE
TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 80S. THE DRIEST AIR WILL RESIDE NEAR THE
RED RIVER...WHERE THE LOWEST RAIN CHANCES CAN BE EXPECTED.

DRIER AIR COMBINED WITH STRONGER SUBSIDENCE SHOULD THEN LEAD TO
A DRY FORECAST ON THURSDAY. THIS WILL BE RELATIVELY SHORT-
LIVED...BECAUSE BY THURSDAY NIGHT A PRONOUNCED SHORTWAVE IS
PROGGED TO DIVE SOUTHWARD FROM THE CENTRAL TO THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS...EVENTUALLY BARRELING INTO NORTH TEXAS BY FRIDAY. GOOD
ASCENT WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL GENERATE A DECENT CHANCE OF SOWERS
AND STORMS ACROSS A GOOD PORTION OF NORTH TEXAS FRIDAY. THE SYSTEM
WILL EXIT AS QUICKLY AS IT ARRIVES...BRINGING DRY WEATHER BACK
INTO THE PICTURE FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

THE DEPARTURE OF THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL PUT A DAMPER ON THE
HEAT WAVE AND BRING TEMPS BACK TO NORMAL FOR THE NEXT WEEK.
READINGS MAY EVEN BE SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY
BEFORE NEAR-NORMAL TEMPERATURES RETURN BY THE WEEKEND.
