AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
353 PM CDT SUN APR 17 2016

.DISCUSSION...
A STRONG CLOSED UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER COLORADO WILL CONTINUE TO BE
THE WEATHER MAKER ACROSS THE REGION FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THIS
LOW WILL ROTATE AROUND COLORADO AND WYOMING DURING THE NEXT 72
HOURS BEFORE STARTING ITS TREK EASTWARD ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS
MIDWEEK. THE LOW WILL THEN OPEN UP AS IT MOVES FARTHER
EAST...MOVING INTO THE OHIO VALLEY BY FRIDAY.

A BAND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAS BEEN ALONG THE I-35
CORRIDOR MOST OF THE DAY AND HAS ONLY SLOWLY BEEN SHIFTING
EASTWARD. ADDITIONAL BANDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE
FORMED DURING THE LAST FEW HOURS TO THE WEST OF THE I-35 CORRIDOR.
RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 3 TO OVER 6 INCHES HAVE BEEN RECEIVED SO FAR.
THE HEAVIEST AMOUNTS...4 TO OVER 6 INCHES..ACROSS PARTS OF PALO
PINTO AND JACK COUNTIES DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON. WE WILL BE ISSUING A RAINFALL PUBLIC INFORMATION
STATEMENT 415-430 PM CDT. THE BIT OF GOOD NEWS IS THAT AN OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY HAS MOVED THROUGH ALL BUT THE EASTERN MOST COUNTIES THIS
AFTERNOON...BRINGING EAST TO NORTHEAST WINDS AND KEEPING/OR
COOLING TEMPERATURES INTO THE 60S. THIS HAS DAMPENED (PUN
INTENDED) THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM/TORNADO THREAT ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA FOR NOW. HEAVY RAIN WILL REMAIN THE MAIN THREAT
THROUGH TONIGHT...BUT SOME SEVERE WEATHER IS STILL POSSIBLE.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY AGAIN MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT
BEFORE THE BEST LIFT SHIFTS EASTWARD BEFORE DAYBREAK TUESDAY.
HAVE LEFT THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH AS IS FOR NOW...BUT WE MAY BE ABLE
TO REMOVE PARTS OF THE WEST AFTER MONDAY MORNING. A WEAK COLD
FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE WEST OR NORTHWEST HALF OF
THE FORECAST AREA BY MIDDAY MONDAY BEFORE STALLING. THE THREAT OF
THE HEAVIEST RAIN SHOULD THEN SHIFT EAST OR ALONG AND EAST OF
I-35 MONDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY. WINDS WILL BECOME
SOUTHEASTERLY AREA WIDE TUESDAY NIGHT. DISTURBANCES MOVING THROUGH
THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL ALLOW FOR SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. DRY WEATHER IS THEN
EXPECTED THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY. AN APPROACHING SHORTWAVE
WILL BRING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BACK TO THE
REGION NEXT SUNDAY.
