Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Fort Worth TX
1142 PM CDT SAT MAY 28 2016

.AVIATION...
Convective clusters currently located northwest of the DFW area
appear to be consolidating into one thunderstorm complex. These
storms will likely push east during the next few hours and become
close enough to the Metroplex TAF SITES to warrant VCTS, which
will remain in the forecast in the near term. Activity will
eventually weaken as we head into the overnight hours. We will
need to keep an eye on a second complex now west of the KABI area.
These storms will head east towards the region overnight, but
should also weaken prior to arriving at any of the terminal areas.
Low level inflow just does not appear sufficient to maintain
longer-lived MCSs overnight.

Mesoscale features may work against the development of MVFR cigs
during the overnight hours, but it still appears likely that
stratus will invade prior to sunrise. Conditions will improve to
VFR around mid morning Sunday.

Additional storms are expected Sunday night as another upper
level disturbance moves from west to east across Texas. VCTS has
been included in the extended portion of the DFW TAF for around
the 30/06Z time.

.UPDATE...
Confidence in the overnight convection trends is not very high as
coverage is already more than we expected would continue after
sunset. Convectively driven vorticies within the southwest flow
aloft appear to be driving some of the ongoing convection in
combination with weak warm air advection. This will continue into
the overnight hours with isolated to scattered convection expected
mainly west of Interstate 35. Have increased PoPs in this area
overnight and also increased PoPs across our southern counties
between midnight and daybreak. Hi Res guidance continues to
suggest some of these storms will merge into a complex that
affects part of the region late tonight and/or early Sunday
morning. Low level warm advection overnight appears more
favorable west of the region and south of Interstate 20 which
would favor an eastward track into our southern counties. This is
where we will carry the highest PoPs overnight.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 336 PM CDT SAT MAY 28 2016/
Abundant low level moisture will remain in place across the entire
region until a cold front arrives around the middle of next week.
The combination of this moisture coupled with energy associated
with several upper level impulses embedded in southwest flow aloft
will result in scattered afternoon and evening showers and
thunderstorms nearly every day through the middle of next week.

In the short term we expect a few storms to develop over Central
Texas and the Concho Valley late this afternoon/early this evening
where the cap is the weakest and instability is quite high. There
is no good focus for storms, so we expect coverage to be limited.
However, if storms do develop, additional convection is possible
on any outflows. Hail and lightning will be the primary threats,
especially south of Interstate 20 and west of Interstate 35 where
CAPE is in excess of 4000 J/KG.

Sunday morning will be cloudy but rain-free. Rain and thunderstorm
chances will increase Sunday afternoon and evening as a shortwave
approaches from the west. It appears that storms will be most
numerous across the Texas Panhandle Sunday afternoon and evening.
These storms will organize into a complex that will move
east/southeast across the region overnight Sunday through Monday
morning. There is a very good chance that storms could end in
most locations by midday Monday but we will still carry low pops
through Monday night due to timing uncertainties. Storms Sunday
through Monday will have the potential to become strong to severe
as well as to produce locally heavy rainfall.

Thunderstorm chances will increase again on Tuesday/Tuesday night
as a southern branch upper low approaches from the Desert
Southwest. Rain and thunderstorms will be likely Wednesday when a
stronger upper low moves across the Northern Plains and sends a
strong cold front southward through the Central and Southern
Plains. Showers and thunderstorms will develop along and behind
the cold front and linger across the area through the end of the
week.

Dry and cool air at the surface and a building ridge aloft will
bring mostly clear and cooler conditions next weekend with lows
in the 50s and lower 60s Friday and Saturday and highs mainly in
the 70s and lower 80s.
