Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Fort Worth TX
403 PM CDT Fri Jun 2 2017

.SHORT TERM...
Numerous showers and thunderstorms are ongoing across North TX
this afternoon. Increased development is due to upper diffluence
overspreading an uncapped and unstable airmass. In addition,
collisions of multiple outflow boundaries continue to initiate
new thunderstorms especially across the DFW Metroplex area. While
the severe potential with this activity is very low, some
downburst winds of 40-50 mph and small hail will be possible with
the strongest storms. The main concern with this activity is the
potential for localized flooding due very heavy rain and slow
storm motions. While the propagation of this thunderstorm cluster
has generally been SSE, individual cell movement is more NNE, so
multiple thunderstorms are developing and moving over the same
areas for a prolonged period of time. This cell training will
have the potential for localized flash flooding into the early
evening hours, especially over urban areas. We've seen actual rain
amounts as high as 2-3" per hour with this activity so far.

Later this evening, activity should begin decreasing as it outruns
upper support to the east and SBCIN increases. Some guidance has
been hinting at a second round of convection developing west of
the CWA and making a run at our western counties overnight. With
relatively weak shear to organize thunderstorms and weak flow to
drive them eastward, this scenario seems fairly unlikely. However,
additional scattered storms may continue to develop across these
areas due to the large-scale ascent in place. There should be a
relative minimum in convective coverage towards daybreak Saturday
before chances increase yet again by late morning and afternoon.

.LONG TERM...
Shower and thunderstorm chances will remain in place across North
Texas through the weekend with the slow moving upper trough axis
expected to take its time clearing the region.  Timing the
individual embedded shortwaves will be key to pinning down the best
rain chances, but the environment will generally remain uncapped,
moist, and unstable for the next 72 hours, so thunderstorms will be
possible throughout the period.

Attempting to time the better rain chances, we'll look at tomorrow
morning into the afternoon hours.  Similar to today, there will be a
piece of shortwave energy rotating around the main upper trough.
This should again swing across our northwest counties.  Convection
may be ongoing west of the area during the morning hours and should
move into our western counties.  If the convection is less organized
during the morning then as we heat up by afternoon, coverage of
showers and thunderstorms should increase.  Favored areas will still
be across the north and northwest counties closer to the upper
trough.  Farther south, coverage will be much more scattered in
nature driven primarily by outflow boundary interactions.

A secondary, stronger shortwave will rotate around on Saturday night
into Sunday.  Right now, the forecast is highly dependent upon what
happens during the day Saturday.  Any organized clusters of
thunderstorms would likely put down fairly substantial outflow
boundaries which would stabilize the area immediately behind the
boundary.  This could locally suppress new convective development
late Saturday night into Sunday.  If the convection is more
disorganized and spotty during the day Saturday, then we could
actually have an overnight uptick in convective activity near the
center of the upper low and its associated surface low.  Right now,
either one of those scenarios could play out.  So for now, we'll
continue with the fairly high PoPs Saturday night (40-60%) with the
best chances across the central and western counties and continue
high PoPs into Sunday (50-60%) with the best coverage shifting to
the east with time.

Concerning the severe weather threat...Moderate instability will be
common through the weekend with surface based CAPE around 2000 j/kg.
This instability will be uncapped but within very weak flow aloft
suggesting that the thunderstorms will likely be disorganized
clusters.  The main threat during this time will be small hail and
perhaps a severe wind gust with the strongest storms.  Frequent
cloud to ground lightning will also be a significant threat.

Concerning the flash flood threat...Many areas are still below
normal on rainfall, but we've now had a couple of days with heavy
rainfall, especially across our western and northern counties.  Any
prolonged precipitation in these areas could result in localized
flash flooding given increasingly moist soils.  We'll continue to
monitor this closely through the weekend.

By Sunday night, the core of the upper trough should be moving to
our southeast.  This will allow northerly flow to spread into the
region and should pull in some drier mid level air, effectively
cutting of rain chances to the area from north to south.  We'll keep
some low rain chances in for Monday afternoon as the low level
moisture won't be totally scoured out, but coverage will be much
more spotty than over the weekend.  Outside of some very low rain
chances across the southeast on Tuesday, most of the area will
remain dry through the end of the week.

Temperatures will be dependent upon cloud cover and areas of
precipitation but should generally be in the mid/upper 80s outside
of rain/thick clouds.

.AVIATION... /Issued 1254 PM CDT Fri Jun 2 2017/
Thunderstorm potential will be the main aviation concern for the
next ~8 hours at area TAF sites.

For DFW Metroplex:
Isolated storms are ongoing as of 1730z which have affected
airports throughout the late morning hours. An increase in
convection is expected during the mid to late afternoon hours as
diurnal destabilization occurs and an upper disturbance pivots
overhead. Have tempo'd some thunder during the most likely time
period of around 19-23z, although storms may linger through around
02z before moving off to the east. Frequent lightning and erratic
gusty winds to around 40 mph are possible with any storms that
occur. Later tonight, MVFR stratus should redevelop. These cigs
should be between 1-1.5kft although some brief cigs below 1 kft
are possible. Additional scattered storms are expected once again
Saturday and have included VCTS in the extended DFW TAF.

For Waco:
BKN MVFR cigs should remain in place throughout most of the day.
Thunderstorm activity is expected to remain more isolated across
Central TX, but confidence is sufficient to at least include some
VCTS at Waco through the late afternoon and evening hours. Based
on trends, may be able to include a tempo TS in subsequent
amendments. A cluster of storms may move eastward toward the TAF
site during the overnight hours, but confidence in this activity
reaching as far east as Waco is low. If this convection remains
west, another round of MVFR stratus should overspread the airport
by early Saturday morning and linger through midday Saturday.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for North and Central Texas.

.DAY ONE...Tonight.
Scattered thunderstorms will continue through the evening hours
before decreasing in coverage later tonight. While the severe
weather threat is low, some gusty downburst winds of 40-50 mph may
occur in and near thunderstorms along with frequent cloud to ground
lightning. In addition, prolonged heavy rainfall will result in
localized flash flooding.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday.
Rain chances will continue Saturday through Tuesday as an upper
level disturbance slowly moves across the region. The activity will
largely remain isolated to scattered in nature and coverage will be
highest during the afternoon and evening hours. With little shear,
the activity will be generally disorganized. Lightning, gusty winds
and heavy rainfall will be the main hazards but some small hail may
occasionally occur. The severe threat will remain low, but areas that
experience multiple rounds of rainfall may have some flooding
issues.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation is not expected at this time.
