Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Fort Worth TX
1117 AM CDT THU JUN 2 2016

.UPDATE...
After a much needed reprieve from heavy rainfall yesterday,
widespread rains are impacting much of the region this morning,
and will continue to do so for the remainder of the day and into
the overnight hours. Moisture channel imagery shows a vigorous
upper-level low just about over Del Rio, Texas with the
associated trough axis now beginning to take on a more neutral
tilt. Strong upper-level divergence associated with the
encroaching low has fostered an expansive area of moderate to
embedded heavy rainfall which continues to move into North Central
Texas.

This area of rainfall will continue to march northward through
the remainder of the morning and will impact the Metroplex
shortly. Precipitation amounts have been on the order of one half
to one inch, with some isolated amounts in excess of 2 inches over
the past three hours. With our saturated soils, this is all it's
taking to cause flooding issues.

As the upper level low gradually tracks eastward, the main
precip shield should begin to pivot towards the west, which means
that many locations in our CWA will remain under the gun for
continued bouts of rainfall through the day. Overnight, there are
still hints from model guidance of a consolidating warm core low
impacting a portion of our region, but pinning its ultimate
location down is not possible at this time. The important point
here is that these types of nocturnally-enhanced systems can be
exceptional rainfall producers over a highly localized area--and
isolated rainfall amounts in excess of six inches are not out of
the question.

Finally, current indications are that flooding rains may linger
longer than initially anticipated across our central and western
zones, and for this reason we have extended the Flash Flood Watch
to cover all of North and Central Texas until 1 PM tomorrow.

.AVIATION...

/ISSUED 1215 AM CDT THU JUN 2 2016/
/06Z TAFs/

Convection is slowly increasing in areal coverage across the
region tonight and expect slow moving isolated to scattered
showers and storms to continue through the night. Will carry VCSH
through the night but an isolated thunderstorm or two could impact
any of the TAF sites overnight. In addition, MVFR and IFR cigs
will return and persist through most of the valid TAF period.

An upper level low will slowly move east across the western
portions of the state tonight and Thursday. This will help to
increase the lift across the region and increase rain chances on
Thursday. There will likely be a break in the rain Thursday
morning but widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected to
spread across the region Thursday afternoon and persist through
the end of the valid TAF period. Will carry SHRA VCTS after 17-18Z
tomorrow as this large area of rain persists. There may be brief
breaks but high-res guidance suggests a nearly continuous feed of
rain during this time. One inhibiting factor may be a convective
complex moving across South and Southeast Texas interfering with
the moisture influx into the region.

In association with the upper level trough, a surface low will
move into the region also aiding the lift for convection. The low
will turn the surface winds to the northeast and possibly north
during the day tomorrow. Winds will remain below 10 kts.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 704 AM CDT THU JUN 2 2016/
The approach of an upper level low and a weak front have created
bouts with showers and a plethora of cloud layers across North and
Central Texas. It seemed that ceilings were holding out in the
MVFR category for the entire shift, until in the past half hour
when sites in the Metroplex suddenly began reporting IFR. So we
will indicate IFR cigs during the morning hours with improvement
back to MVFR by mid day. Meanwhile, the weak winds along the
front have already begun to back to a more northeasterly
direction, and should become due north this evening with speeds
remaining well below 10 KT. Thunderstorms will become more likely
this afternoon as the upper low encroaches on Central TX during
peak heating hours. Storms should decrease in coverage late this
evening, though isolated activity will continue overnight.
