Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Fort Worth TX
1145 PM CST Fri Dec 16 2016

.AVIATION...
All North Texas terminals have remained on the western edge of a
stratus cloud deck this evening. KFWS VAD wind profile indicates a
40 knot southwesterly low level jet which explains why these
clouds have not built back to the west much. It looks like the
best way to handle this situation will be to TEMPO MVFR to high
IFR ceilings for the next few hours at all but FTW and AFW. Since
the low level jet should become even more southwesterly with time,
it is likely that the majority of the low clouds will push farther
to the east as we approach sunrise. VFR conditions are expected
Saturday after sunrise until some post-frontal stratus arrives in
the afternoon and lowers ceilings back down below 3000 ft.

Southerly winds will prevail tonight between 12 and 16 knots along
with some higher gusts. The wind will veer more westerly after
sunrise ahead of the approaching arctic cold front. FROPA still
looks to be in the early afternoon at the Metroplex sites and Waco
by mid afternoon. The passage of the front will turn the wind to
the northwest and increase sustained speeds over 20 knots with
some gusts as high as 35 knots. Wind speeds should remain in this
range through Saturday evening.

Precipitation chances still appear too low to mention in this TAF
package.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 358 PM CST Fri Dec 16 2016/
Skies have been clearing from west to east, but the eastward
progress of the clearing line is expected to come to a halt after
sunset and some low clouds are expected to spread back to the
northwest overnight. Some drizzle or sprinkles will be possible
this evening into the overnight hours mainly east of a Bonham to
Hearne line and patchy fog will re-develop overnight along and
southeast of a Lampasas to Canton line.

An arctic cold front that extended south of a Norfolk Nebraska to
Goodland Kansas line at 3 PM will move south and extend southeast
of a Bonham to Graham line by midday Saturday. This front will
move to near a Canton to Temple to Lampasas line before sunset and
and sweep through the rest of the forecast area during the early
evening. Highs Saturday will range from the upper 50s northwest to
the upper 70s across the southeast, but temperatures will fall 10
to 15 degrees as the front passes with slowly falling
temperatures thereafter Saturday. Winds will shift to the north at
speeds of 20 to 25 mph with gusts over 35 mph likely. A Wind
Advisory will likely be needed for areas behind the front Saturday
and Saturday night. There will be a slight chance of showers east
of I-35/I-35E Saturday and isolated thunderstorms will be possible
southeast of a Cameron to Canton line.

The most interesting part of the forecast will be Saturday night
as there will be low chances of precipitation as temperature
profiles start to support wintry weather. The window for any type
of wintry precipitation will be small, but there will be a slight
chance of freezing drizzle or light snow mainly north of a Graham
to Mckinney to Bonham line Saturday evening. We may be able to
squeeze out some snow flurries as far south as the Metroplex in
the midnight to 3 am Sunday period and at the same time some light
snow or freezing drizzle will be possible northeast of a Sherman
to Greenville to Sulphur Springs line. Amounts will be light and
gusty north winds will be advecting dry air into the region at
the lower levels. At this time cannot rule out a few slick spots
across the northeastern zones, but am not expecting enough
freezing/frozen precipitation for any type of winter weather
advisory at this time. For the rest of the area east of I-35 and
south of I-30 some light rain will be possible during the evening
through 2 or 3 am Sunday but the rain is expected to end before
the temperatures fall below freezing.

Sunday will be the coldest day so far this year (yes this includes
January and February) for most of the region with morning lows in
the mid teens northwest to the upper 20s southeast. Despite
the expected sunshine, strong cold advection will result in highs
ranging from the upper 20s northwest to the mid to upper 30s
southeast. Wind Chills Sunday morning will be in the single digits
and teens and some spots across the northwest may have wind chill
readings at or just below zero (the criteria for Wind Chill
Advisories).

With lighter winds Sunday night, Lows Monday morning will range
from the lower teens northwest to the lower 20s southeast. Highs
on Monday will be in the mid 30s to lower 40s. Temperatures will
moderate Tuesday through Wednesday. As a shortwave moves through
the Central Plains, a cold front will move through North and
Central Texas late Wednesday afternoon and Wednesday night. No
precipitation is expected with this front.
