Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fort Worth TX 637 AM CDT MON JUN 13 2016 .AVIATION... A slow-moving disturbance continues to generate convection across the region early this morning. The quasi-stationary MCS which was present between DFW and Waco has recently split into multi-cell clusters. One of these cells is moving south around 10 KT and should affect the Waco area around 14-15Z if it holds together. Meanwhile, showers have developed in the Dallas area and will affect KDAL and possible KDFW for a few hours before moving east of the terminal areas. KDAL had experienced IFR ceilings overnight but it appears they are lifting a little as we move through daybreak. If this trend continues we will amend to improve conditions at KDAL a little sooner than currently forecast. For the afternoon, the best chances for convection will be east of the TAF sites as the shortwave shifts ever so slowly eastward with time. However, there is still enough moisture for scattered showers to affect the terminal areas for a few hours. Otherwise, a return of MVFR CIGS is expected again overnight. 30 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 417 AM CDT MON JUN 13 2016/ Just when it seems our enduring MCS has run its course, a new favored area ignites. Fed by a 30-knot low-level jet of rich Gulf moisture, the ongoing activity in our southeastern zones will likely continue into the morning commute. With considerable precipitation efficiency and little movement, flooding will remain a concern. Even where the rain has come to an end, runoff will continue, and high water may linger this morning. Despite an apparent back edge to the slowly advecting complex, there is clearly still some vorticity upstream that has yet to be smoothed out. This back-building will also enhance the flood threat along the I-45 corridor this morning. In the upper reaches of the troposphere, cyclonic flow will become anticyclonic today. But in the mid-levels, the eastward translation of the ridge axis will be a bit slower. Subsidence should limit the extent of redevelopment in areas west of the I-35 corridor today, but remaining lift in East Texas may result in one final day of scattered showers and storms. High temperatures today will reflect this, ranging from the mid 90s in western zones to the upper 80s in cloudier/outflowier eastern zones. Ridging will dominate the remainder of the workweek, and abundant sunshine will push afternoon temperatures above normal. The oppressive humidity will make it feel even hotter, and low temperatures will also rise to summery levels. Afternoon heat index values may top 105 in some areas Tuesday through Friday. Extended guidance continues to favor a retrograding of the ridge late in the week, but operational solutions are trending away from a backdoor frontal passage, keeping the northerly land breeze confined to East Texas and Louisiana. The consensus for the forthcoming weekend and into next week is for easterly flow aloft. However, the tropical easterlies and their unsettled weather would be confined to South Texas, with the southern periphery of the ridge dominating North Texas weather. As a result, the outlook for the remainder of the month favors above normal temperature and below normal precipitation. 25 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... Dallas-Ft.
