Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Fort Worth TX
315 PM CDT Tue Sep 28 2021

...New Long Term...

.SHORT TERM... /Issued 130 PM CDT Tue Sep 28 2021/
/Today and Tomorrow/

Convection is expected to blossom across much of North and Central
Texas this afternoon and tonight. A broken line of storms should
then move across the area tonight, with additional showers and
thunderstorms expected tomorrow afternoon.

...This Afternoon...
We are closely monitoring three distinct target areas.

The first, and most troublesome, is across Western North and
Central Texas. A band of weak mid level ascent is starting to
overspread an area of strong moist/theta advection on the surface.
Sufficient insolation combined with this ascent aloft will allow
for deep mixed layers to overcome any inhibition. This uncapped
atmosphere will allow for a gradual blossoming of convection over
the course of the afternoon. The parameter space is on the weak
side, so the severe threat should be limited to just a few storms
that may be capable of producing damaging wind gusts. The deeply
mixed/dry sub-cloud layer should promote downward momentum
transfer as well as the dry air in the mid levels that will also
promote downdraft acceleration. This rather unorganized cluster
of storms should be fed/driven by outward propagating outflow
boundaries, but should generally remain along and west of I-35.

The next target area is across Northeast Texas where some ACCAS
remains trapped beneath the mid level cap around 700mb. This
activity may develop into a few showers and perhaps an isolated
thunderstorm or two over this afternoon, but the lack of focused
forced ascent should limit the areal coverage of thunderstorms
associated with this area.

The last area is currently over Southeast Texas. A cluster of
thunderstorms near Houston should gradually merge into a large
forward propagating cold pool as the low level flow shifts to
become southeasterly. This wind shift should drive the cold pool
northwest, eventually moving into our southeastern row of counties
late this afternoon and early this evening. Severe weather is not
expected with these quick-moving and short-lived storms, but gusty
winds will be possible along the leading edge of the storms.

...Tonight...
A robust cluster of storms should develop along a stalled dryline
to the west of our forecast area. The steering flow should be
such that these storms will move into the western parts of the
forecast area shortly after sunset. Southerly low level flow
around 20-30 kts should be sufficient to maintain the complex of
storms through the night. Expect a quasi-linear system to move
through the area tonight, with the highest concentration of
storms remaining across Central Texas where moisture flux into the
system (southerly LLJ) is maximized. Across North Texas, the
weaker fringes of the system should bring some areas light to
moderate rain with an occasional embedded thunderstorm. This
entire complex should transition into East Texas by the time
daybreak tomorrow comes around.

...Tomorrow...
The wake of the overnight/early morning complex should leave much
of North and Central Texas overturned for much of the day. Due to
this, we have drastically lowered the PoPs from the previous
forecast packages. We are not expecting tomorrow to be a total
washout as it seemed could be the case, but now, seems similar to
today. The differences are slightly weaker upper level forcing,
but stronger low level forcing in the vicinity of a well defined
dryline expected to develop over the Big Country. A healthy warm
and moist advective regime should develop out ahead of the
dryline. This pattern should then allow for additional showers
and storms to develop along the dryline tomorrow afternoon over
the western parts of the forecast area. Similar to today, any
storm that develops tomorrow would theoretically be capable of
producing damaging wind gusts under the presence of inverted-v
soundings. We will have to assess how the overnight convection
evolves to get a sense of how strongly capped the remainder of the
forecast area is tomorrow afternoon.

.LONG TERM... /NEW/
/Wednesday Night Through Early Next Week/

After a relative lull in convective activity Wednesday night,
another impulse will impact the region during the daylight hours
Thursday. Partial clearing may enhance destabilization as our mT
air mass heats into the mid to upper 80s. The PoPs belie the areal
coverage, which in this scenario would be more scattered; but the
cell motion will be swift enough to douse a large area. However,
the main focus for convection will likely be an advancing cold
front, which may remain to our northwest at nightfall Thursday.
With a sufficient cold pool, a linear complex along the boundary
could invade North Texas Thursday night, but an approaching upper
low will encourage a more northeasterly storm motion.

The resulting convective activity may reposition the effective
frontal boundary on Friday, but the increasing warm advection
downstream of the upper trough will inhibit the synoptic front's
progress. This should weaken the low-level flow adequately enough
to allow outflow boundaries to remain on Friday when large-scale
forcing for ascent arrives. This could be our rainiest day of the
bunch with widespread showers and embedded thunderstorms becoming
more numerous over the course of the day. Although the threat for
strong/severe storms will be low, precipitable water values near
2 inches will enhance the rainfall efficiency. By Friday, many
locations will likely have accumulated event rainfall totals of
2 to 3 inches, with isolated higher amounts possible. While
abnormally low soil moisture should initially reduce runoff this
week, precluding significant flooding concerns during the early
stages of this rainy period, some creeks and streams could begin
to exceed their capacity on Friday.

Despite the equatorward plunge of the upstream trough, it
maintains subtropical jet streaks that should help it remain
progressive. As a result, the forecast for the weekend will favor
the faster solutions, which would mean one last round of rainfall
on Saturday. But due to uncertainty in timing, some PoPs will
linger into early next week. The trough's eventually dissolution
into the polar stream will allow a cold front to finally overtake
North and Central Texas on Sunday. The re-emergence of the sun may
actually raise daytime temperatures compared to the prefrontal
rainy days, but noticeably drier air will make it feel more like
October.

.AVIATION... /Issued 130 PM CDT Tue Sep 28 2021/
/18Z TAFs/

TCU is developing to the southwest of D10 and just west of the ACT
terminal. Expect the TCU to blossom into scattered TS through the
afternoon, mainly west of the D10/ACT terminals. However, we have
maintained VCTS in the D10 TAFs starting at 23Z, but may need to
shift that up a couple hours. Have also included VCTS in the ACT TAF
at 19Z with thunder on station through 21Z. We are not yet confident
enough to include TS on station in the D10 TAFs yet, but may
include a TEMPO for thunder this afternoon.

Expect a break in the convection early this evening before a broken
line of showers/storms moves through the area tonight initially
around 04-06Z for D10 & 06-09Z for ACT. Our confidence on the timing
of this is extremely low and will likely need to be shifted once the
storms develop over the Big County late this afternoon. A brief
period of gusty westerly winds will likely accompany this line of
storms.

After this moves through in the early morning hours, MVFR ceilings
with little precip should prevail through the morning with VFR
developing by the afternoon. Additional popup SH/TSRA are
possible tomorrow afternoon.
