AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
657 AM CDT THU JUL 17 2014

.AVIATION...
PRIMARY CHALLENGE FOR THE AVIATION FORECAST CONTINUES TO BE THE
TIMING AND COVERAGE OF CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY.

SLOW MOVING CONVECTIVE CLUSTERS WERE CURRENTLY LOCATED JUST NORTH
OF THE DFW METROPLEX AND ALSO ABOUT 50 NM WEST OF THE DFW
METROPLEX. THE ACTIVITY CURRENTLY ACROSS WISE AND DENTON COUNTIES
WAS BEGINNING TO SPREAD SOUTH INTO DALLAS AND TARRANT COUNTIES AS
A COOL OUTFLOW FOSTERS NEW DEVELOPMENT. THE ACTIVITY FARTHER TO
THE WEST WAS ASSOCIATED WITH MODERATELY STRONG LARGE SCALE FORCING
FOR ASCENT AHEAD OF THE SOUTHEAST COLORADO SHORTWAVE. CELL MOTION
OF ALL OF THIS ACTIVITY WAS GENERALLY TO THE EAST AT 10 KTS.

RELATIVELY STRONG LOW LEVEL WARM ADVECTION NEAR THE LOW LEVEL JET
HAS ALSO RESULTED IN A SLOW-MOVING CLUSTER OF CONVECTION LOCATED
40 NM WEST OF KACT...SPREADING SLOWLY TO THE EAST AT 10 KTS.

THE BOTTOM LINE FOR THE METROPLEX TAF SITES WILL BE OCCASIONAL
THUNDERSTORMS BEGINNING IN THE NEXT HOUR AND PERSISTING THROUGH
ABOUT MIDDAY. FOR KACT...EXPECT AN ONSET OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS AROUND 14Z /9 AM CDT/...WITH AN EXPECTED DURATION OF
4-5 HOURS. FOR ALL SITES...EXPECT A LATE MORNING TO EARLY
AFTERNOON DIMINISHING TREND BEFORE REDEVELOPMENT BY MID TO LATE
AFTERNOON.

WIDESPREAD SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE INTO
TONIGHT AS THE SHORTWAVE MOVES CLOSER AND A COLD FRONT ADVANCES
INTO THE AREA. EXPECT MVFR OR IFR CONDITIONS AND OCCASIONAL
SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS FROM MIDNIGHT TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY
FRIDAY MORNING.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 358 AM CDT THU JUL 17 2014/
THE HEAVY RAIN EVENT IS ALREADY STARTING TO UNFOLD WITHIN THE AREA
WHERE THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN FAIRLY PERSISTENT AND SLOW MOVING OR
NEARLY STATIONARY ACROSS MONTAGUE...WISE...COOKE...DENTON...AND
COLLIN COUNTIES THIS MORNING. ELSEWHERE...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND STORMS HAVE OCCURRED THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. NO CHANGES
WERE MADE TO THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WHICH WILL BEGIN AT 7 AM THIS
MORNING ALONG AND NORTH OF A LINE FROM JACKSBORO...TO
WEATHERFORD...TO CANTON. DEPENDING ON RAIN TRENDS THROUGH THE
DAY...IT IS POSSIBLE THE WATCH MAY HAVE TO BE EXPANDED WEST BUT
STILL FEEL THE GREATEST THREAT IS WITHIN THE CURRENT WATCH AREA.

AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE CAN BE SEEN ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY THIS
MORNING MOVING SOUTH THROUGH COLORADO. THIS SHORTWAVE WILL PROVIDE
THE MAIN LIFT TO GENERATE NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS THE REGION OVER THE NEXT 36 HOURS. THERE WILL LIKELY BE
SEVERAL ROUNDS OR PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND STORMS THIS MORNING THROUGH
FRIDAY MORNING. WE ANTICIPATE ONE OR TWO PERIODS OF CONVECTION
TODAY...ONE IN THE MORNING WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION LIKELY
THIS AFTERNOON. THE CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON COULD BE MORE
WIDESPREAD AND WILL LIKELY BE FOCUSED ALONG BOUNDARIES THAT ARE
LEFT OVER FROM THE MORNING CONVECTION. FORECAST SOUNDINGS FOR
TODAY SHOW A VERY MOIST AND MODERATELY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE. PWATS
ARE WELL ABOVE NORMAL WILL VALUES REACHING 2 INCHES IN PARTS OF
THE REGION. SEVERE WEATHER AND HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE THREATS
THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THE GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL WILL
BE IN THE WATCH AREA WHERE RAINFALL COVERAGE IS EXPECTED TO BE THE
HIGHEST. SEVERE WEATHER THREATS ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION WILL BE HAIL
AND DAMAGING WINDS.

THE UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE INTO OKLAHOMA LATER TODAY AND
ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION /MCS/ WILL DEVELOP ALONG A FRONT
MOVING INTO THE REGION TONIGHT. NEARLY ALL OF THE REGION IS
EXPECTED TO SEE RAIN WITH THIS ROUND OF STORMS AND HEAVY RAINFALL
WILL CONTINUE TO BE A THREAT. SEVERE STORMS COULD ALSO OCCUR IN
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL THE MAIN THREATS.
THE FRONT WILL STALL ACROSS THE REGION ON FRIDAY. EVEN THOUGH THE
MAIN SHORTWAVE WILL BE IN ARKANSAS BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON...THE
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL STILL BE MOVING ACROSS THE REGION AND WE
WILL LIKELY SEE NEW DEVELOPMENT ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE FRONT
FRIDAY AFTERNOON. HAVE INCREASED POPS ACROSS ROUGHLY THE SOUTHERN
HALF OF THE REGION FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON. INSTABILITY WILL BE MUCH
WEAKER FRIDAY AFTERNOON AS THE ATMOSPHERE WILL LIKELY BE WORKED
OVER BUT CANNOT RULE OUT A SEVERE STORM OR TWO.

RAINFALL TOTALS WITH THIS EVENT WILL RANGE FROM 2-5 INCHES WITH
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS IN THE WATCH AREA...TO 1-2+ INCHES
ELSEWHERE. HAVE INCREASED POPS TO 80-100 PERCENT ACROSS THE REGION
THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING AS CONFIDENCE IS HIGH IN THE RAINFALL
POTENTIAL AND COVERAGE OVER THE NEXT 24-30 HOURS.

THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL START TO BUILD INTO THE REGION ON
SATURDAY AND TEMPERATURES WILL BEGIN A WARMING TREND AT THAT TIME.
THE RIDGE WILL BE SLOWER TO BUILD INTO THE EASTERN COUNTIES AND
WILL KEEP LOW POPS FOR ISOLATED SHOWERS/STORMS OVER THE EASTERN
AND SOUTHEASTERN COUNTIES ON SATURDAY. AFTER THAT...FORECAST
SOUNDINGS INDICATE INCREASING SUBSIDENCE OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF
THE REGION AND WILL KEEP THE FORECAST DRY SUNDAY AND MONDAY. BY
TUESDAY...THE MODELS INDICATE A DISTURBANCE MOVING ACROSS THE
EASTERN PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE...POSSIBLY BRINGING ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED SHOWERS/STORMS BACK TO THE REGION. THE MODELS THEN WEAKEN
THE INFLUENCE OF THE RIDGE OVER NORTH AND CENTRAL TEXAS AS AN
UPPER LEVEL LOW CUTS OFF FROM THE MAIN FLOW TO OUR EAST. THERE ARE
SEVERAL DISCREPANCIES AMONG THE MODELS STARTING MIDWEEK BUT WILL
CARRY LOW POPS THROUGH THE END OF THE FORECAST. WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES
FAIRLY CLOSE TO MOS GUIDANCE AND BELOW 100 DEGREES FOR THE MOST
PART.
