Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Fort Worth TX
1008 AM CDT Wed May 8 2019

.MESOSCALE UPDATE...
A moist and unstable airmass remains in place south of an outflow
boundary currently extending along a line from Athens to Hillsboro
to Goldthwaite. A line of thunderstorms propagating eastward
along and south of this boundary will continue to have the
potential to produce damaging wind gusts and large hail.
Will need to monitor the position of the warm sector, as a
northward shift would extend the severe storm potential a little
farther north, but at this time it looks like ongoing convection
along the I-20 corridor will likely keep the surface boundary near
its current position through early afternoon. In addition to the
hail and wind threat, 0-1 KM storm-relative helicity values
between 150 and 200 m^2/s^2 when combined with surface-based CAPE
around 2000 J/KG indicates that at least a low-end tornado threat
will exist, which would likely be of the QLCS variety along the
ongoing squall line if one were to occur.

North of the outflow, the primary concern will be localized flash
flooding due to west-east training of thunderstorms. Occasional
rainfall rates around 2 inches per hour can be expected along and
north of the surface boundary, putting the near-term threat for
additional flooding immediately south of the I-20 corridor. These
storms will continue to shift east with time, extending the heavy
rain threat eastward from Johnson and Ellis Counties to Kaufman,
Henderson and Van Zandt Counties between now and early afternoon.

As far as the rest of the forecast, POPs have been adjusted and
the high temperature forecast has been lowered based on recent
trends.

.AVIATION... /Issued 728 AM CDT Wed May 8 2019/
/12Z TAFs/

Concerns: Convective impacts, winds, and MVFR CIGs

Rather complicated aviation forecast persists for our local
terminals. An initial round of convection is shifting east away
from all sites. Its impacts are likely confined to
departures/arrivals using east gates. A second round of storms is
rapidly approaching terminals from the west, though. Based on
current timing, primary convective impacts should be felt at
terminals around 15-17Z, with lingering impacts to
arrival/departure gates through the afternoon.

CIGs/VSBYs are VFR at many sites currently. CIGs may fall more
consistently to MVFR levels by mid/late morning with the arrival
of the second round of convection. Confidence in persistent MVFR
CIGs is questionable, though. CIGs should gradually improve by
late afternoon/evening, but the approach of the synoptic front
will likely reduce them below 030 by Thursday morning.

Expect winds generally from the south/southeast today, with
increasing gusts by afternoon. Influence of convection/rainfall
will occasionally turn winds to a west/northwest direction through
18Z.

.SHORT TERM... /Issued 239 AM CDT Wed May 8 2019/
/Today and Tonight/

A quasi linear convective system (QLCS), currently forming just
off the Caprock, will move east across the region today, bringing
a potential for damaging winds, hail and even a brief tornado or
two. Periods of heavy rainfall will also be likely which may
result in localized flooding. However, the progressive nature of
the line should keep the threat of widespread flash flooding
relatively low. The convective allowing models are falling into
fairly close agreement with regards to timing and placement of the
main line with storms reaching the western zones before sunrise,
the I-35 corridor between 8 AM and 10 AM, and the eastern zones
late morning through early afternoon. A few strong to severe
storms will also affect the western zones prior to the arrival of
the main line with damaging winds the primary hazard. These
leading storms should weaken as they reach the US 281 corridor
when they encounter stronger convective inhibition. Once the main
line of storms moves through, clouds should begin to decrease from
west to east, allowing temperatures to warm into the upper 70s
and lower 80s. The only exception will be the eastern zones where
a later arrival of storms and extensive cloud cover will keep high
temperatures in the middle 70s.

Storm chances will linger this evening, mainly in the east. The
remainder of the forecast area will likely remain dry through the
overnight hours until a cold front arrives across the northwest
zones in the predawn hours Thursday. Overnight temperatures will
range from the middle 50s across the northwest to the lower 70s in
the southeast zones.

.LONG TERM...
/Thursday through Tuesday/

A cold front will slide across North Texas Thursday morning as a
shortwave lifts across Central Plains. Initially the front will
come through dry with limited moisture to work with after today's
storms. However, some thunderstorms should begin to fire in the
afternoon as the front moves into the southern zones where
moisture and instability will be much more favorable. It looks
like the best severe threat will be just southeast of the forecast
area.

Weak cold air advection and some lingering clouds behind the cold
front will keep temperatures below seasonal normals with highs
generally in the upper 60s and 70s. The only exception will be
some lower 80s across the southeast zones.

Thunderstorms will temporarily move south of the forecast area
Thursday evening, but may develop across the southern zones again
overnight Thursday/Friday morning as moist air is lifted over the
shallow wedge of drier/more dense air near the surface.
Confidence is low in exactly how far south the cold front will
move Thursday night, therefore, we will keep PoPs low for now.

The cooler and drier airmass will remain largely unchanged Friday
with dry northeasterly surface flow. The combination of low level
cold air advection and extensive high clouds associated with a
deepening upper low on the West Coast will result in a cool day
for May with morning lows in the upper 40s and 50s and highs
mainly in the middle and upper 60s.

Rain and thunderstorm chances will slowly increase Friday night
and Saturday as a few northeastward moving shortwaves traverse the
region. The best moisture will remain across Central Texas which
is where we will keep the highest PoPs. It will remain cool with
morning lows Saturday generally in the 50s and highs from the mid
60s to the lower 70s.

The upper low will begin to lift northeast across the Desert
Southwest Sunday/Sunday night, resulting in brief ridging aloft
over North and Central Texas. Decreasing clouds and waning cold
air advection will result in warmer temperatures Sunday with
highs in the 70s and lows Sunday night in the mid and upper 50s.

Low level moisture will finally return to the region Monday
through Tuesday as the low pressure system begins to weaken and
lift northeast towards the Central Plains. The increase in
moisture and large scale lift will result in scattered showers and
thunderstorms with the best chances across the southwestern half
of the forecast area. The moisture increase will also bring more
seasonable temperatures with lows in the upper 50s and 60s and
highs in the upper 70s and lower 80s.
