AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
332 AM CDT THU MAR 17 2016

.DISCUSSION...
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WHICH DEVELOPED OVERNIGHT ACROSS THE
NORTHWEST COUNTIES SHOULD CONTINUE NORTH OF THE I-20 CORRIDOR
THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. ACTIVITY IS ASSOCIATED WITH A MID
LEVEL DISTURBANCE AND IS WORKING ITS WAY EAST ON THE NORTH SIDE OF
A WARM FRONT. THE FRONT APPEARED TO EXTEND ALONG A LINE FROM
BRECKENRIDGE TO PALESTINE DURING THE PAST FEW HOURS. ELEVATED
INSTABILITY CURRENTLY IN PLACE WILL LIKELY PERSIST AS THESE CELLS
WORK THEIR WAY EAST INTO THE DALLAS-FORT WORTH AREA...SO AN
OUTSIDE CHANCE OF LARGE HAIL WILL CONTINUE THROUGH SUNRISE. STORMS
MAY WEAKEN BEFORE REACHING THE METROPLEX...BUT WILL STILL POSE A
THREAT FOR AT LEAST SMALL HAIL...LIGHTNING AND BRIEF HEAVY RAIN.

THERE WILL LIKELY BE A TRANSITION FROM THE ELEVATED STORMS NORTH
OF THE I-20 REGION TO SURFACE BASED CONVECTION SOUTH OF THE WARM
FRONT THIS AFTERNOON. GOOD INSTABILITY WILL BE IN PLACE ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN HALF OF THE REGION...BUT WEAKER SHEAR SHOULD PRECLUDE
WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON. STILL..A FEW STORMS
WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL. SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL
SHIFT EAST OF THE REGION THIS EVENING AS THE IMPULSE RACES TOWARDS
THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.

THE WARMER AIRMASS SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY WILL KEEP LOW
TEMPERATURES IN THE 60S ACROSS THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES
OVERNIGHT. LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE ABOUT 10 DEGREES OR SO COOLER ON
THE NORTH SIDE OF THE FRONT.

A SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL DROP SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE CENTRAL PLAINS
TONIGHT AND FRIDAY. THIS WILL SEND A COLD FRONT SOUTH THROUGH THE
REGION FRIDAY...ALONG WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. THE BEST CHANCE FOR CONVECTION WILL BE DURING THE
AFTERNOON HOURS ON FRIDAY WHEN THE BEST INSTABILITY WILL OCCUR IN
ADVANCE OF THE FRONT. A FEW STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF LARGE
HAIL. DAMAGING WINDS COULD ALSO OCCUR IF CONVECTION BECOMES
ORGANIZED ALONG THE ADVANCING FRONT. THE BEST POTENTIAL FOR STRONG
TO POSSIBLY SEVERE STORMS WILL EXIST OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF
THE REGION WHERE MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WILL BE HIGHEST.

COOLER AND DRIER AIR BEHIND THE FRONT AND SUBSIDENCE ON THE BACK
SIDE OF THE SHORTWAVE WILL BRING AN END TO OUR RAIN CHANCES LATE FRIDAY
EVENING. WE WILL KEEP SOME LOW POPS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN-MOST
COUNTIES EARLY SATURDAY DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF A FEW LINGERING
SHOWERS. BELOW-NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED OVER THE WEEKEND
WITH LOWS IN THE 30S AND 40S AND HIGHS IN THE 50S AND 60S.

UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL PROVIDE A WARM-UP DURING THE FIRST HALF
OF NEXT WEEK...THEN THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING RAIN CHANCES
BACK TO THE AREA ABOUT A WEEK FROM TODAY.

.AVIATION...
/ISSUED 1152 PM CDT WED MAR 16 2016/
/6Z TAFS/

VFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA AS OF NOW BUT THE
WARM FRONT CONTINUES TO EDGE NORTHWARD WITH MVFR CIGS AND
VISIBILITY NOT FAR BEHIND. WACO WILL LIKELY FALL TO MVFR HERE
SHORTLY AS THE FRONT SPREADS NORTH. THERE WAS ONE SHOWER THAT
DEVELOPED WEST OF BRECKENRIDGE OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF HOURS BUT
THERE HAS BEEN NO SIGN OF ADDITIONAL CONVECTION. THE LATEST MODEL
GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO DEVELOP ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
LATER TONIGHT...MAINLY WEST OF THE MAJOR METROPLEX AIRPORTS. THESE
WILL LIKELY TRACK SOUTHEAST THROUGH EARLY MORNING. WILL CONTINUE
WITH THE VCTS THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS AT THE METROPLEX
AIRPORTS. OTHERWISE...MVFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL MUCH
OF THE DAY THURSDAY ACROSS NORTH TEXAS...WITH FURTHER
DETERIORATION OF CIGS/VIS EXPECTED THURSDAY NIGHT. THERE WILL
LIKELY BE SCATTERED SHOWERS THROUGH THE DAY THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY
WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME THUNDERSTORMS...BUT COVERAGE AND
TIMING IS TOO UNCERTAIN TO PIN DOWN SPECIFICALLY IN THE TAFS.
LIGHT SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL BECOME MORE EASTERLY OVERNIGHT INTO
THURSDAY.
