Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Fort Worth TX
634 PM CDT WED MAY 11 2016

.AVIATION...
Surface winds have backed in advance of a small convective complex
currently located just west of the area. These storms developed
in the vicinity of a triple-point between the cold front and
dryline over west texas and a quasi-stationary boundary stretching
northeastward across the Red River into Central OK. The easterly
shift in the surface wind component would suggest that warm moist
air will continue to feed the convection as it works its way east
along the boundary. Extrapolating the movement would bring storms
near the DFW area around 03Z. We will begin VCTS at this time in
the Metroplex with a 2-hour tempo for ts from 04-06Z. If we get
additional development ahead of the complex...we will adjust the
exact timing of thunder as needed. Hi-res guidance indicates that
we will see storms weakening as they approach the Waco area...but
we will still indicate a few hours of VCTS at KACT.

The front will begin to surge south overnight as an upper trough
translates across the Southern Plains. Additional showers and
storms are expected in the vicinity of the front during the
morning hours. Light north winds and vfr conditions are then
expected Thursday afternoon.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 316 PM CDT WED MAY 11 2016/
A cold front was just entering into the extreme northwest zones at
mid afternoon with the dryline extending from the cold front
across the South Plains and Permian Basin. These features show up
quite well in the afternoon visible satellite image. The cold
front had nearly stalled due to vigorous mixing along the leading
edge but should resume a southeastward movement later this evening
and overnight. The atmosphere continues to recover from overnight
convection and instability is on the increase. The latest analysis
shows that a cap still exists across North and Central Texas but
this should continue to weaken through late afternoon/early
evening. We expect storms to develop along the dryline and cold
front by late afternoon. These storms will move east through the
evening and should affect locations generally north of the
Interstate 20 corridor. Large hail and damaging winds will
accompany the stronger storms. As the storms move east off of the
cold front this evening they should weaken a bit once they move
into slightly less unstable air.

Once the cold front begins to accelerate southeast late this
evening/overnight it will provide additional focus for
thunderstorm development with the possibility of some severe
storms.

The front will move through much of the region on Thursday and
should stall somewhere over Central Texas. As a result...thunderstorm
chances will decrease from north to south through the day
Thursday. However...scattered showers and storms will remain in
the forecast across the southern zones Thursday night due to the
proximity of the cold front.

Friday and Friday night will be rain-free due to limited moisture
and subsidence aloft. There is a low chance that a nocturnal MCS
could develop across the High Plains Friday night and impact the
western zones Saturday morning.

The remainder of the weekend through early next week will remain
unsettled due to progressive westerly flow aloft. This upper flow
coupled with abundant low level moisture will yield multiple
opportunities for showers and thunderstorms through Wednesday of
next week.
