AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
717 AM CDT SUN APR 17 2016

.AVIATION...
/12Z TAFS/ CHALLENGING FORECAST WITH ONGOING CONVECTION NOW IMPACTING
METROPLEX...AND ANOTHER PRIMARY WAVE EXPECTED TO OCCUR BY EARLY
EVENING. CONFIDENCE IN THE EXACT TIMING OF TSRA AND ASSOCIATED
IMPACTS IS NOT GREAT.

THE CURRENT LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS EXTENDING FROM SHERMAN TO DFW TO
COMANCHE WILL SHIFT EASTWARD THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS WHILE
MAINTAINING ITS CURRENT GENERAL INTENSITY. ALL METROPLEX TAF SITES
WILL EXPERIENCE TSRA THRU 14Z...ACCOMPANIED BY A WIND SHIFT TO THE
NORTHWEST AT 15-25KTS. SHOULD SEE THIS LINE DIMINISH FROM W TO E
AFTER 14Z...WITH MOST TAF SITES ENDING THUNDER BY 15Z. THE AIRMASS
WILL REMAIN QUITE MOIST...BUT RELATIVELY STABLE BEHIND THIS
LINE...WITH OCCASIONAL SHOWERS AND CEILING/VIS REDUCTIONS
OCCURRING THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS.

SHORT-TERM MODELS STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT A SECOND LINE OF
CONVECTION SHOULD ORGANIZE WEST OF THE METROPLEX TAFS BY 22Z...AND
SWEEP EASTWARD INTO MOST OF THESE SITES IN THE 22-02Z TIMEFRAME.
UNFORTUNATELY...IT'S NOT CLEARCUT HOW LONG TSRA WILL PERSIST AT
DFW AND ADJACENT LOCATIONS AFTER 02Z. ENTIRELY POSSIBLE THAT
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY ALL THE WAY
THROUGH 14Z MON. ELECTED TO CARRY THUNDER THRU AT LEAST 10Z...WITH
THE BULK OF THE ACTIVITY POSSIBLY EAST OF DFW/DAL AFTER THAT TIME
WITH RESIDUAL VCTS CONTINUING INTO THE MID/LATE MORNING HOURS.

CEILING AT THE METROPLEX TAFS WILL MOSTLY IN THE IFR/LOW MVFR
RANGE WITH THE ONGOING CONVECTION...LIFTING INTO MFVR CATEGORIES
BY AFTERNOON...THEN LIKELY DIPPING BACK INTO IFR TERRITORY TONIGHT
AS THE SECOND ROUND IMPACTS THE AREA. NWLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH MID MORNING...THEN SWING BACK AROUND TO A SELY DIRECTION
IN CONFORMANCE WITH THE LARGER SCALE SYNOPTIC SCALE PATTERN.

CONDITIONS AT WACO WILL BE SOMEWHAT SIMILAR TO THOSE IN THE DFW
AREA...EXCEPT THE ONSET OF THE TSRA ACTIVITY WILL BE DELAYED PAST
15Z. AFTER THAT...EXPECT INTERMITTENT THUNDER AT WACO THROUGH
MID AFTERNOON...FOLLOWED BY A LULL...THEN ANOTHER ROUND COMMENCING
AFTER 02Z TONIGHT. CEILINGS SHOULD REMAIN IN THE MVFR
CATEGORY...WITH OCCASIONAL VSBY REDUCTIONS DUE TO SHRA AND TSRA
ACTIVITY.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 455 AM CDT SUN APR 17 2016/

...SYNOPSIS...
AN ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN WILL CONTINUE...ESPECIALLY FOR THE FIRST
HALF OF THE WEEK WITH THE THREAT FOR FLASH FLOODING AND SEVERE
WEATHER. THEREAFTER...EXPECT LINGERING RAIN CHANCES WITH MILD
TEMPERATURES.

...SHORT TERM (TODAY AND TONIGHT)...
THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE TODAY WILL BE THE CESSATION OF THE
ONGOING COMPLEX OF STORMS AND SUBSEQUENT RE-DEVELOPMENT OF
CONVECTION THROUGH THE DAY. RADAR IMAGERY COMBINED WITH TOTAL
LIGHTNING DATA SUGGESTS THAT THE ANTICIPATED WEAKENING OF
CONVECTION CONTINUES. WITH THIS CONVECTION GRADUALLY DRIFTING AWAY FROM
THE BEST FORCING TO THE NORTH AND WEST...THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT
FOR THIS MORNING APPEARS TO BE ON A DOWNWARD TREND. WHILE THE
SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WANES THIS MORNING...THE SLOW MOTION OF THE
COMPLEX COMBINED WITH STRONG SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS AND THE MOIST
ENVIRONMENT WILL FACILITATE AN ONGOING FLASH FLOOD THREAT THIS
MORNING ESPECIALLY FOR AREAS NEAR AND WEST OF A GAINESVILLE TO
MINERAL WELLS TO GOLDTHWAITE LINE.

FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT...THERE WILL BE TWO AREAS THAT WE WILL BE
MONITORING CLOSELY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONVECTION. THE FIRST
WILL BE ALONG THE COLD FRONT THAT IS EXPECTED TO NUDGE TOWARDS THE
EAST FROM NEAR WICHITA FALLS TO ABILENE. THE DEVELOPMENT OF
ADDITIONAL CONVECTION ACROSS THIS REGION MAY BE HINDERED A BIT DUE
TO STABILIZING EFFECTS OF THE MORNING COMPLEX. HOWEVER...LARGE
SCALE ASCENT COURTESY OF FORCING FROM THE ENTRANCE REGION OF AN
UPPER JET TO THE NORTH IS EXPECTED TO HELP WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF
ADDITIONAL PRECIPITATION. FORECAST SOUNDINGS ACROSS THIS AREA
EXHIBIT A FAIRLY TALL AND SKINNY CAPE PROFILE SUGGESTING VERY
EFFICIENT RAIN PRODUCERS. THE DEEP LAYER SHEAR PROFILE WILL ALSO
FACILITATE A SEVERE WEATHER THREAT MAINLY IN THE FORM OF DAMAGING
WINDS AND A TORNADO OR TWO. THE CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPS ACROSS
THIS AREA IS FORECAST TO GRADUALLY MOVE EASTWARD TOWARDS THE I-35
CORRIDOR LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING HOURS. AS THIS
CONVECTION MOVES TOWARDS THE EAST AT A VERY SLOW PACE...IT WILL
ENCOUNTER AN ATMOSPHERE THAT WILL LIKELY BE CHARACTERIZED BY
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES IN THE 1.5-1.75" RANGE WHICH IS
APPROACHING THE 99TH PERCENTILE OF NORMAL VALUES. WITH MOST HI-
RESOLUTION GUIDANCE PUSHING THIS CONVECTION THROUGH AT LEAST THE
NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA...WE FEEL THAT IT IS NECESSARY
TO EXPAND THE CURRENT FLASH FLOOD WATCH TO THE ENTIRE CWA.

THE OTHER AREA FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONVECTION APPEARS TO BE
ACROSS CENTRAL TEXAS LATER THIS AFTERNOON. MOST COARSE AND HI-
RESOLUTION MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGEST MODEST LOW LEVEL CYCLOGENESIS
WILL OCCUR SOMEWHERE ACROSS THE BIG COUNTRY AND CONCHO VALLEY.
THIS FEATURE WILL HAVE TWO INFLUENCES. THE FIRST IS THAT IT SHOULD
CREATE A WIND PROFILE FAVORABLE FOR THE TRANSPORT OF GOOD LOW
LEVEL THETA-E AIR NORTHWARD INTO CENTRAL TEXAS. THE SECOND IS THAT
IT SHOULD BACK LOW LEVEL FLOW RESULTING IN A WIND PROFILE
CONDUCIVE FOR SEVERE WEATHER. EXAMINATION OF FORECAST SOUNDINGS
ACROSS CENTRAL TEXAS REVEAL A FAIR AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY ALOFT AND
AND A FAIR AMOUNT OF DEEP LAYER SHEAR /ON THE ORDER OF 30-35
KNOTS/ ROTATING THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE. THE STRONG WIND
FIELD AND DRY AIR ALOFT SHOULD FACILITATE STRONG DOWNDRAFTS AND
THUS A DAMAGING WIND THREAT. THE THREAT FOR LARGE HAIL /ALBEIT
LOW/ WILL EXIST GIVEN THE DEGREE OF DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND
INSTABILITY. THE CYCLONIC CURVATURE OF THE HODOGRAPHS /INDICATIVE
OF BACKED LOW LEVEL FLOW/ WILL FACILITATE A THREAT FOR TORNADOES.
IN ADDITION...ANY REMNANT OUTFLOW FROM MORNING CONVECTION WILL
LIKELY SERVE AS BOTH A FOCUS FOR THE INITIATION OF NEW CONVECTION
AS WELL AS A RICH SOURCE FOR LOW LEVEL SRH. THIS REGION WILL ALSO
BE CHARACTERIZED BY PWATS APPROACHING THE 99TH PERCENTILE AND AS A
RESULT...FLASH FLOODING IS EXPECTED INTO THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING
HOURS.

...LONG TERM (MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...
FOR MONDAY....FLOODING IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY AS
THE UPPER LOW RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION IS
EXPECTED TO MOVE VERY SLOWLY TO THE NORTH AND EAST. A SURFACE
BOUNDARY WILL SLOWLY SAG TO THE SOUTH THROUGH PARTS OF NORTH AND
CENTRAL TEXAS WITH THE AXIS OF HEAVY RAIN NEAR THIS FEATURE. WITH
CONTINUED STRONG TRANSPORT OF RICH GULF AIR IN CONJUNCTION WITH
SUFFICIENT ASCENT...THE FLASH FLOOD THREAT IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT
TOWARDS OUR EASTERN AND SOUTHEASTERN COUNTIES THROUGH THE DAY.
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT AT THIS POINT IS EXPECTED TO BE
LOW DURING THIS TIME PERIOD.

FOR TUESDAY...THE OVERALL RAIN THREAT WILL LINGER ACROSS OUR
EASTERN ZONES. WITH THE MOIST REGIME...SOME MINOR FLOODING ISSUES
MAY STILL CONTINUE. IF LIFT NEAR THE AFOREMENTIONED BOUNDARY IS A
BIT STRONGER THAN CURRENT INDICATIONS...MORE SERIOUS FLOODING
ISSUES MAY PERSIST.

FOR WEDNESDAY AND BEYOND...THE RAIN CHANCES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
THE EXTENDED PORTION OF THE FORECAST. THE GFS AND ECMWF DIFFER A
BIT IN THE LONG TERM REGARDING SOLUTIONS. THE GFS APPEARS TO
FINALLY PUSH THE FRONT SOUTHWARD AS A POTENT TROUGH DIVES ACROSS
THE MS RIVER VALLEY. THIS WOULD EFFECTIVELY END ANY THREAT FOR
RAIN. THE ECMWF ON THE OTHER HAND KEEPS THE BOUNDARY STALLED
ACROSS THE REGION BEFORE LIFTING IT NORTHWARD IN RESPONSE TO LEE-
SIDE CYCLOGENESIS WHICH WOULD FOSTER THE DEVELOPMENT OF ADDITIONAL
SHOWERS AND STORMS. FOR NOW...THE FORECAST WILL TREND MORE
TOWARDS THE ECMWF AND MAINTAIN LOW CHANCE POPS THROUGH THE REST OF
THE FORECAST.
