.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 345 PM CDT Fri Jun 9 2017/

SHORT TERM...
(Tonight and Saturday)

On satellite imagery this afternoon, a MCV (Mesoscale Convective
Vortex) is over the southeastern part of the DFW area, moving south-
southeast. A smaller MCV is over our southeastern counties, and also
tracking south-southeast. A couple of the CAMs indicate isolated to
scattered convection affecting the southeastern part of our area
late this afternoon and evening. Radar is bearing this out as well,
with isolated showers developing east of a Coleman to Mason line.
We are carrying 30 PoPs across the southeastern part of our area
late this afternoon through late this evening. Moderate to strong
instability and steep low-level lapse rates support the potential
for a few strong to severe thunderstorms with damaging winds the
primary threat.

Skies will be generally clear behind the exiting MCV and late
evening convection. Development of a low-level jet will keep the
wind speeds higher across our northern and central counties. With
lee surface trough to our west and increased pressure gradient
across our area, gusty south winds are expected on Saturday, with
winds backing a bit to south-southeast by early evening. For
temperatures, little change is expected with lows tonight and highs
Saturday above normal.

LONG TERM...
(Saturday Night through Thursday)

Weak upper level low near Houston will continue into Sunday and
Monday, leaving weak upper level ridging in place across West
Central Texas. Stronger southwest flow aloft will prevail across
portions of Far West Texas into the Panhandle. Surface dryline
will become better established from the Permian Basin north into
the Panhandle, with a few isolated showers and storms possible
both Sunday and Monday afternoons. However, appear there will be
enough cap with the weak ridge to keep any of these storms from
moving into the area. Gonna be hot as well, with low level thermal
ridge allowing highs to creep back up towards the 100 degree mark.

Pattern starts to change for mid week as the upper level ridge
begins to flatten out. It doesn't go very far away, but maybe far
enough that a few storms will be possible across the northern Big
Country by Wednesday afternoon and evening. We start to see more
of a northwest or northerly flow by late week, setting up the
chance for a little better chance for convection.
