Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Fort Worth TX
547 AM CST Fri Feb 26 2021

...New Short Term, Aviation...

.SHORT TERM... /NEW/
/Today through Saturday Morning/

Showers and embedded thunderstorms continue to diminish in areal
coverage as the strong warm air advection aloft wanes and the dry
slot around the base of the upper trough impinges on North and
Central Texas. The threat for marginally severe storms has
decreased greatly as instability has been shunted south toward the
Brazos Valley. With shortwave ridging in the wake of our trough, I
anticipate that most areas will be rain/storm-free by the noon
time hour. Clouds will linger, however, with gradual clearing from
west to east through the daylight hours. West winds will promote
some adiabatic compression/downslope and I've nudged temperatures
a little higher than the previous short term forecast iteration.

The clear conditions will be short-lived as another WAA regime
establishes itself. At present time, it does not appear that
convection that develops Saturday morning will have quite the
vigor as Thursday evening's/this morning's storms and thus I
don't anticipate an appreciable threat for severe weather early
in the day. What we will have to contend with, however, will be
the potential for areas of fog across the area thanks to the
recent rainfall and warm/moist air being injected into a cooling
near surface layer. At present time, I've restricted visibility
only to around 1-2 miles, but some spots could see visibility as
low as 1/2 mile.

Fog will dissipate by mid-morning Saturday as increased mixing
courtesy of large scale ascent arrives from the west. Most of the
area will be within the entrance region of a strengthening
cyclonically curved mid-level jet. At this time, I do anticipate
an increase in shower and thunderstorm activity. The long term
discussion below has additional details on the low-end severe
weather and possibly more noteworthy hydro threat expected.

.LONG TERM... /Issued 345 AM CST Fri Feb 26 2021/
/Saturday Onward/

Unsettled weather will continue across North and Central Texas
through most of the extended forecast period as we remain beneath
southwesterly flow aloft. Although there remains some uncertainty,
a severe weather threat exists this weekend. As precipitation
chances continue next week, a threat for heavy rainfall will exist
across portions of the region. Both the ECMWF and NAEFS ensemble
guidance indicate high precipitable water values and integrated
vapor transport percentiles at or above 90% through Monday night
would support a heavy rain threat. Rainfall accumulations will
generally be higher across East and Central Texas.

Low level southerly flow should become well established by Saturday
morning as a surface warm front attempts to push north toward the
Red River by Saturday evening. The warm front will serve as an
area of focus for showers and thunderstorms to develop, especially
during the afternoon/evening hours along and north of the I-20
corridor. We’ll have to keep an eye on the northward extent of
the warm front, as areas along/south of the front would have the
best potential for the development of strong to severe
thunderstorms. Mild temperatures with highs in the mid 70s are
expected south of the boundary, while areas north of the boundary
only warm into the mid 60s. As we head into the evening hours,
model soundings reveal the presence of elevated instability, steep
mid level lapse rates, and strong shear. This would support a
threat for elevated hail with some of the stronger thunderstorms.
Persistent warm air advection will yield a mild night across the
region with lows in the 50s to mid 60s.

An upper level trough traversing the Plains will send a cold
front across the region on Sunday. Ahead of the front, our region
will remain in the warm sector with high PW values in place. In
the upper levels, our region will remain beneath southwesterly
flow, with an upper level jet streak of 100-120 knots in place
aloft Sunday afternoon/evening. This set up may result in some
strong to severe thunderstorms along/ahead of the cold front
mainly along and south of the I-20 corridor. The main threats
would be hail and damaging winds.

In wake of the passage of the cold front, high temperatures in the
50s are expected region wide on Monday. Rain chances will continue
through mid week as an upper level low ejects from the southwest
on Monday. A lull in precipitation is possible Tuesday night into
Wednesday, but low rain chances will once again return on
Wednesday and Thursday.

.AVIATION... /NEW/
/12 UTC TAF Cycle/

Concerns---Ceiling and visibility trends.

While VFR may be observed this morning, it's likely to be brief
and I am still confident that most areas will be socked in with
low stratus through most of today. This afternoon, as west winds
overspread the area, I anticipate a transition from LIFR to VFR
over the course of 3 to 4 hours (possibly sooner). Southerly
winds will return late tonight into the pre-dawn hours on Saturday
with an intrusion of MVFR/IFR stratus as a warm front moves
northward. Accompanying this warm front will be the threat for IFR
vsby and given the decent model agreement along with pattern
recognition for fog/stratus events across our area, I've added 1-3
SM in the extended reaches of the TAF.
