.SHORT TERM...
The SPC has issued a Tornado watch until 8pm for SE OK, NE TX and
adjacent SW AR. Thunderstorms are coming through the DFW
metroplex now and will be arriving mid to late afternoon in our
cwa. Our cap is lifting and weakening with heating and this will
continue with the eventual organizing of cells into a QLCS to
affect our NW half of Co/Pa through midnight. So potentially
another watch if a good cool pool gets involved, but the front is
so weak on forcing things may have a tough time. The models all
ease the decaying line across the SE half of cwa, but it will run
out of gas on today's heating and need the convective assist to
survive overnight before plugging in again tomorrow, too far East
perhaps to have to even be concerned about. Our day two outlook is
for general only our cwa. /24/
.AVIATION...
For the ArkLaTex, Thunderstorms developing along a line from KDAL
to KMCL and will overspread our TX terminals by midnight. Current
timing is mainly for evening hours from early evening at KTYR/KTXK
to near KSHV perhaps by midnight if a good push into a squall line
is successful by the upper storm over the OK/TX panhandles moving
NE already. This will linger for our remaining terminals into the
overnight and potentially even this time tomorrow. SFC winds
shifting to SW then NW 5-10KT and IFR/MVFR will hang tough. /24/
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1140 AM CDT Wed May 29 2019/
SHORT TERM...
Another muggy day out with low 70s dew points and low to mid 80s
temps and low 90s HX. Skies are Cloudy NW to mostly cloudy SE.
KSHV Doppler radar is showing some scattered cells from Tyler to
Texarkana with mosaics showing much more numerous thunderstorms
from Dallas to Mcalester and Fayetteville edging slowly our way.
We are still on course with pops and weather, ramping up from
here with additional heating. The HRRR is looking at 19-21Z for
our NW most counties. So we may well be looking at a convective
watch to bleed over into our FFA start time this evening. The
HRRR shows a line evolving to affect only the NW half of the cwa
by 06Z. This does not include arrival into the SHV metro area. The
cap on this mornings sounding was huge and is about to resampled
with an 18Z flight. A solid cool pool could change everything. /24/
