Severe Thunderstorm Warning 107, NWS Fort Worth, TX

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Fort Worth TX
718 PM CDT Mon Apr 10 2017

.AVIATION...
The primary aviation weather concern with this TAF package will be
thunderstorms this evening. As of 00Z, the cold front had just
cleared all the Metroplex TAF sites. However, some storms were
riding up over the front and were in the vicinity of DAL and GKY.
We have decided to keep thunder in the vicinity at those terminals
through about 03Z. Waco should see temporary periods of
thunderstorms through about 04Z with most activity shifting to the
south of Waco overnight with the front.

Low end VFR ceilings will prevail through Tuesday morning with
some temporary ceilings between 2000 and 3000 FT this evening.
The only exception will be in Waco where MVFR ceilings will
prevail overnight through Tuesday morning. All ceilings should
slowly lift Tuesday afternoon with daytime mixing.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 319 PM CDT Mon Apr 10 2017/
Convection continues to develop along and ahead of a slow moving
cold front which was near a line from Paris to Dallas to
Goldthwaite at 3 PM. The atmosphere is quite unstable and severe
thunderstorms will likely continue into the mid evening hours with
storms slowly shifting southward with the cold front. Some
elevated showers and storms are possible north of the front
through the evening, but these should remain below severe limits.
Along with the threat for large hail and damaging winds, there
will be a potential for heavy rainfall and flash flooding,
especially southeast of a line from Goldthwaite to Hillsboro to
Athens where a Flash Flood Watch is in effect through 7 AM CDT
Tuesday. There is a good chance that the heavy rainfall will shift
south of the CWA overnight with the development of a strong cold
pool. Therefore, the Flash Flood Watch may be canceled during the
overnight hours if this occurs.

A weak shortwave will translate across the region on Tuesday and
result in scattered showers and thunderstorms through the day.
This activity will remain elevated above the front and should
remain well below severe limits.

Once the shortwave trough axis passes to the east, a weak ridge
will build in from the west and result in a brief dry period
Tuesday night. The presence of the ridge will be very temporary
due to the development of a strong trough across the western
states. A series of shortwaves will round the base of the long
wave trough and bring multiple chances for rain and thunderstorms
Thursday through Sunday with the best chances Thursday and again
on Sunday. At this time the severe potential appears low with the
end of the week/weekend storms.
