AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
312 PM CDT THU MAY 8 2014

.DISCUSSION...
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE CONCHO
VALLEY/HILL COUNTRY AND SOUTHWESTERN SECTION OF NORTH TEXAS
THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON IN THE REGION THAT SAW THE MOST AFTERNOON
SUN AND THE FEWEST MORNING THUNDERSTORMS. THESE STORMS WILL MOVE
NORTHEAST AND AFFECT ALL BUT THE NORTHWEST ZONES OF NORTH TEXAS
THROUGH THE EVENING. ALTHOUGH THE MAIN UPPER LOW WILL CONTINUE TO
ROTATE TOWARD THE NORTHERN PLAINS...LARGE SCALE LIFT WILL LINGER
THROUGH THE NIGHT AS A SECONDARY SHORTWAVE ROTATES EAST. THE
STORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING WILL HAVE A POTENTIAL TO BECOME
SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. THE PRIMARY STORM MODE
WILL BE MULTI-CELL CLUSTERS WITH SOME LINEAR SEGMENTS.
HOWEVER...THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH LOW LEVEL SHEAR TO SUPPORT A FEW
SUPERCELLS.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL END FROM WEST TO EAST TONIGHT AS
DRIER AIR MOVES IN BEHIND THE SECONDARY SHORTWAVE. A FEW SHOWERS
OR STORMS MAY LINGER IN THE SOUTHEAST ZONES FRIDAY SINCE LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE MAY NOT GET COMPLETELY SCOURED OUT.

THE UPPER PATTERN WILL BECOME MORE ZONAL ON SATURDAY WHICH WILL
KEEP A SURFACE TROUGH IN PLACE ACROSS THE FRONT RANGE OF THE
CENTRAL ROCKIES AND KEEP LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IN PLACE ACROSS NORTH
TEXAS.

AN UPPER TROUGH WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE WESTERN U.S. SATURDAY
NIGHT AND SUNDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL MOVE FROM THE ROCKIES TO THE
CENTRAL PLAINS SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY. ENERGY FROM THIS
SYSTEM COUPLED WITH LIFT FROM AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL BRING
A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO NORTH TEXAS SUNDAY NIGHT
THROUGH MONDAY. THERE MAY BE ENOUGH INSTABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS SYSTEM FOR A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS.

THUNDERSTORM CHANCES SHOULD END QUICKLY FROM NORTH TO SOUTH ON
MONDAY AFTERNOON AS MUCH DRIER AND COOLER AIR MOVES IN BEHIND THE
COLD FRONT. THIS DRY AND COOL AIR SHOULD REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS
NORTH TEXAS TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WITH A NORTHERLY SURFACE WIND
AND NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT.

LOW LEVEL MOISTURE SHOULD BEGIN A SLOW RETURN TO NORTH TEXAS ON
THURSDAY AHEAD OF A DEVELOPING SURFACE LOW ACROSS THE CENTRAL
HIGH PLAINS. THIS INCREASE IN MOISTURE WILL RESULT IN MORE CLOUDS
AND SLIGHTLY WARMER TEMPERATURES BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK.
