Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Fort Worth TX 1146 PM CDT Wed Oct 25 2017 .AVIATION... 06 UTC TAF Cycle Concerns---Breezy southwesterly winds through the day on Thursday. Timing of FROPA for D/FW Terminals late Thursday/Early Friday. Otherwise, VFR. For the Metroplex TAF sites---VFR will prevail through the entire TAF cycle, including the D/FW Extended. Light south to southwest winds at the start of the TAF period will continue through the early morning hours on Thursday. As daytime heating continues, deep low level mixing coupled with the deepening surface trough axis will result in strong sustained surface winds of around 15 to 20 knots. Some surface wind gusts of 25 to 30 knots appear probable and have continued a mention of this. A cold front should approach the Red River late Thursday afternoon and into the evening hours. As this occurs, surface winds will weaken very briefly and veer to the west. With FROPA around 05 UTC Friday, the surface winds will increase with speeds of 20 knots likely. Gusts of 30 to perhaps 35 knots will also be possible. Mid-level clouds will likely increase and thicken through the day on Friday. There may be a chance for some virga which may induce turbulence below FL110 late Friday morning and into Friday evening. This is outside of the current TAF cycle, but may be worth examining in subsequent TAFs/AFDs. For the Waco TAF site---VFR will continue through the entire TAF cycle with south to southwest surface wind speeds of around 12 to 15 knots and gusts to near 22 knots. At this time, it appears that FROPA will not arrive until after the current valid TAF period. 24-Bain && .SHORT TERM... /Issued 337 PM CDT Wed Oct 25 2017/ After this morning's chilly start, North and Central Texas has warmed nicely this afternoon, thanks to a healthy dose of downslope westerly winds and an abundance of sunshine. The combination of ridging along the Lower Texas Coast and a low center in Eastern Colorado will persist through tonight, enabling a light southwesterly wind flow overnight. Aside from some weak warm advection, this should create enough stir to keep temperatures a good 8-10 degrees warmer than this morning's readings. Having said that, many outlying locations will still reach the 40s prior to daybreak. Bradshaw && .LONG TERM... /Issued 337 PM CDT Wed Oct 25 2017/ /Thursday through next Wednesday/ The brief warm-up will be in full swing on Thursday ahead of the next cold front. West to southwest winds will usher in warm and dry air, allowing Thursday afternoon high temperatures to soar into the 80s. Dewpoint temperatures will recover a little bit compared today but should still fail to climb out of the 40s. This will equate to minimum relative humidity values dipping into the 25 to 30 percent range during peak heating. Above normal temperatures, low afternoon RH values and gusty southwest winds will lead to elevated grass fire danger across just about all of North and Central Texas. A deepening trough across the middle part of the CONUS will send a strong cold front south of the Red River Thursday evening and through the rest of North and Central Texas Thursday night. Strong pressure rises and the resulting post-frontal wind speeds may warrant a Wind Advisory for the Thursday night / Friday morning time frame, so that is something we will watch and likely make a decision on sometime tomorrow. Gusty winds will continue on Friday but overall wind speeds should gradually decrease as the surface ridge approaches and the gradient slackens. There is a low-end chance of precipitation behind the front on Friday but the lack of any appreciable moisture should keep any rain chances at or below 20 percent. Cold air advection will be quite impressive for October, keeping temperatures in the 50s all day Friday. Winds will decouple and drop off Friday evening, which when combined with clearing skies will allow temperatures to fall into the 30s. Some locations will approach freezing during the pre-dawn hours both Saturday and Sunday, so a combination of frost advisories and freeze warnings may be required for parts of the forecast area this weekend. A warm-up will ensue once again Sunday and Monday ahead of our next front, which may bring a round of showers and possibly a few storms Tuesday and next Wednesday. This of course may affect Halloween festivities, so those with outdoor plans are urged to keep up with the latest forecasts for your area. 30 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... Dallas-Ft.
