Area forecast discussion, Jun 22, 4:14 PM CDT, 1 hour 7 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
414 PM CDT SUN JUN 22 2014

.DISCUSSION...
THE SLOW-MOVING SHORT WAVE THAT IS MOVING ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA THIS AFTERNOON IS PRODUCING VERY HEAVY RAIN TO THE SOUTHWEST
AND SOUTH OF THE METROPLEX. FLOODING AND FLASH FLOODING HAS
OCCURRED ACROSS PARTS OF HOOD...SOMERVELL...JOHNSON...BOSQUE AND
NORTHERN HILL COUNTIES. MOST OF THE RAIN HAS ENDED ALONG AND NORTH
OF I-20 AND THE RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT SOUTHEAST THROUGH THIS
EVENING.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT ARE CURRENTLY OVER COLORADO ARE
EXPECTED TO INCREASE IN AREAL COVERAGE AND MOVE EAST AND
SOUTHEAST TONIGHT. ALTHOUGH MOST OF THIS ACTIVITY IS FORECAST TO
REMAIN NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT...SOME SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD CROSS THE RED RIVER BEFORE DAYBREAK MONDAY.
THERE WILL BE A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AREA WIDE
MONDAY WITH THE BEST CHANCES ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE
FORECAST AREA. TEMPERATURES TOMORROW WILL BE DEPENDENT ON
INSOLATION...SO HAVE FORECAST MID TO UPPER 80S ACROSS THE NORTH
AND LOWER 90S ACROSS THE SOUTH AND WEST.

AN UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH
CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EACH DAY. THE EXTENDED PART
OF THE FORECAST REMAINS QUITE CHALLENGING AS THE GFS BUILDS IN A
RIDGE FROM THE WEST LATE WEEK WHILE THE ECMWF KEEPS US IN A
WEAKNESS BETWEEN THE UPPER RIDGE TO OUR WEST AND ANOTHER RIDGE
OVER THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO. HAVE KEPT 20 TO 30 PERCENT POPS
ACROSS THE AREA ALONG AND EAST OF THE I-35 CORRIDOR THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY...AND ACROSS THE WESTERN 2/3S SATURDAY.

.AVIATION...
/ISSUED 1259 PM CDT SUN JUN 22 2014/
/18Z TAFS/

SHOWER ACTIVITY CONTINUES AT THE AIRPORTS THIS AFTERNOON. MOST OF
THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY HAS DIMINISHED FOR THE TIME BEING BUT KEPT
A MENTION OF VCTS IN THE KFTW TAF FOR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TO
THE SOUTHWEST. DO NOT ANTICIPATE THESE STORMS TO ENCROACH ON KFTW
THOUGH. THE RAIN ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE MID TO LATE
AFTERNOON HOURS...ENDING FROM NORTH TO SOUTH AS A SHORTWAVE
CONTINUES TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION. VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED
TO PREVAIL IN THE WAKE OF THE RAIN BUT THE MODELS ARE HINTING AT
SOME 3-5SM VISBY RESTRICTIONS AROUND SUNRISE MONDAY MORNING. DUE
TO TODAYS RAINS...THIS WOULD MAKE SENSE BUT WIND SPEEDS ARE
EXPECTED TO BE A LITTLE STRONGER TOMORROW MORNING AND THIS WILL
LIKELY WORK AGAINST FOG DEVELOPMENT. HOWEVER...WILL INCLUDE A
MENTION OF 4-5SM BR AT THE AIRPORTS EXCEPT FOR KDFW AND KDAL WHERE
WIND SPEEDS MAY BE OVER 10 KTS.

A COMPLEX OF STORMS IS EXPECTED TO ENTER NORTH TEXAS EARLY MONDAY
MORNING AND MAY BRING RAIN OR POSSIBLY THUNDERSTORMS TO THE
METROPLEX TAF AIRPORTS BY MID MORNING. FOR NOW WILL MENTION VCSH
AS IT IS LIKELY THAT THE COMPLEX WILL BE DISSIPATING AS IT
CROSSES THE RED RIVER...HOWEVER...FUTURE TAF ISSUANCES MAY HAVE TO
INCLUDE THUNDER DEPENDING ON THE EVOLUTION AND TRENDS.

FOR KACT...MVFR CIGS AND VIS WILL OCCUR FROM ABOUT 09Z THROUGH MIDDAY.
