Area forecast discussion, Jun 25, 3:22 PM CDT, 1 hour 21 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX 322 PM CDT WED JUN 25 2014 .DISCUSSION... THE WET SUMMERTIME PATTERN CONTINUES ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON WITH SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OCCURRING AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON. THE CONVECTION IS PRODUCING HEAVY RAINFALL WHICH AGAIN WILL LEAD TO NUISANCE AND/OR FLASH FLOODING IN SOME LOCATIONS. IN ADDITION...GUSTY WINDS AND FREQUENT LIGHTING WILL CONTINUE TO BE THREATS AS WELL. THE STORMS THIS AFTERNOON HAVE DEVELOPED UNDER TWO SEPARATE REGIMES. MOST OF THE ACTIVITY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA TODAY HAS BEEN DRIVEN BY AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY MOVING NORTH FROM CONVECTION IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS OVERNIGHT. STORMS ACROSS THE NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES ARE BEING AIDED BY LIFT FROM AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE CURRENTLY APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST. THE ATMOSPHERE ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CWA...NORTH OF THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY...IS WEAKLY CAPPED WITH CAPE VALUES UP TO 2500 J/KG. STORMS NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY WILL HAVE A POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE DAMAGING MICROBURST WINDS UP TO 60 MPH. EXPECT THE CONVECTION TO CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING HOURS AND EVENTUALLY DISSIPATE BEFORE MIDNIGHT...MORE LIKELY BY 9/10 PM. ON THURSDAY... NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL CONTINUE WITH TROUGHING ALOFT OVER MOST OF THE EASTERN HALF OF THE STATE. WITH THE CONTINUED WEAKNESS ALOFT...RICH MOISTURE IN PLACE AND AN UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE...SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED AGAIN TOMORROW. WEAK RIDGING MAY OCCUR OVER THE WESTERN COUNTIES OF THE REGION SO KEPT THE HIGHEST POPS OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE REGION. AGAIN...HEAVY RAINFALL CAUSING FLASH FLOODING AND GUSTY WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN THREATS. ON FRIDAY...UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL MOVE ACROSS THE STATE AHEAD OF A STRONGER UPPER LEVEL TROUGH COMING ACROSS THE WESTERN CONUS. HOWEVER...SOME UPPER LEVEL TROUGHING/WEAKNESS WILL REMAIN OVER THE EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE. HAVE KEPT 20-30 POPS OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA. THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL CROSS INTO THE PLAINS ON SATURDAY RESULTING IN MORE RAIN CHANCES FOR THE REGION. HAVE KEPT POPS ON THE LOWER END AGAIN AS THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL PASS NORTH OF THE CWA BUT WITH THE BASE OF THE TROUGH STILL GRAZING THE REGION...WE COULD SEE SOME ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS...ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOON HOURS. SOME ADDITIONAL ISOLATED CONVECTION COULD OCCUR SUNDAY AFTERNOON BEFORE THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS IN EARLY NEXT WEEK. WILL ALSO KEEP THE 20 POPS SUNDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS THE REGION BUT BEST CHANCES MAY BE OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE REGION. THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE WEST EARLY NEXT WEEK BUT WILL REMAIN ANCHORED OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST. THE FORECAST FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK IS DRY FOR NOW WITH INCREASING TEMPERATURES INTO THE MID AND UPPER 90S...POSSIBLY APPROACHING THE CENTURY MARK IN THE FAR WESTERN COUNTIES BY THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. 82/JLD && .AVIATION... /ISSUED 1230 PM CDT WED JUN 25 2014/ MVFR CIGS WILL LIFT TO VFR DURING THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO WITH ADDITIONAL HEATING. OTHERWISE MAIN CONCERN IS CONVECTION DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVING IN FROM THE WEST WILL PROVIDE LIFT WHILE AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY MOVING UP FROM THE SOUTH SHOULD BE THE FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ON THIS AFTERNOON. ALREADY HEATING HAS SPAWNED SOME ISOLATED STORMS IN THE TRACON AREA...AND THUS WILL CONTINUE TO SHOW VCTS FROM 1830Z THROUGH 22Z. AFTER 22Z...BELIEVE CONVECTIVE AFTERNOON ACTIVITY WILL HAVE HELPED STABILIZE THE AIRMASS A BIT. CONFIDENCE IN TSRA ON STATION IS NOT YET HIGH ENOUGH TO WARRANT AN INCLUSION OF A TEMPO FOR LIMITED VSBY/TSRA BUT AMENDMENTS MAY BE FORTHCOMING BASED ON RADAR TRENDS. OTHERWISE VFR WILL PREVAIL THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...BUT MVFR STRATUS SHOULD RETURN LATE TONIGHT AROUND 9Z. AFTERNOON CONVECTION POSSIBLE AGAIN TOMORROW...BUT CONFIDENCE NOT VERY HIGH ON TIMING OR COVERAGE AT THIS POINT. TR.92 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... DALLAS-FT.
