Area forecast discussion, Jun 7, 2:40 PM CDT, 57 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fort Worth TX 240 PM CDT Mon Jun 7 2021 ...New Long Term... .SHORT TERM... /Issued 115 PM CDT Mon Jun 7 2021/ /Through Tuesday/ The main concerns through the next few hours will be the potential for heavy precipitation east of I-35 as a complex of storms and attendant MCV move across the region. In addition to the heavy precipitation, instability ahead of the line of storms will continue to rise as daytime heating continues. With increasing instability and enhanced low-level forcing for ascent, a few strong storms can't be ruled out across the Brazos Valley/Southeast Texas this afternoon. There remains some uncertainty regarding the forward progression of the line across Central Texas. Strong southerly flow around 925-850mb will supply a constant fetch of moisture into the area. Confidence remains too low at this time to expand the Flash Flood Watch into more portions of Central Texas. Regardless of whether there is a watch or not, we will need to monitor the forward progression of the line as we go into the evening hours in case we begin to get training thunderstorms. As this line of convection moves east of our area tonight, another complex of thunderstorms will be approaching from West Texas. Whether or not this line makes it through our area remains highly uncertain at this time given the current state of the atmosphere. If this line does make it into our region, a few strong wind gusts and brief heavy rain will be the primary concerns. Temperatures tomorrow afternoon are expected to be about 10 degrees warmer compared to the temperatures we will experience today. Much of the region will be in the 90s, with heat index values in the mid to upper 90s. Hernandez && .LONG TERM... /NEW/ /Tuesday night through next Monday/ Any lingering convection Tuesday night will shift to the east/northeast as the upper trough moves east. Then, an upper high pressure will begin to build over the region keeping us on the dry side for the next several days. This also means that temperatures will warm up to near or above normal for early-mid June. Model trends show very warm air in the low levels spreading northward mid to late week. However, the recent rainfall and high humidity in our environment will likely keep the surface temperatures from being too hot. While many locations will see highs in the 90s Wednesday through Saturday, the expected humidity will bump up the heat indices into the mid/upper 90s. A few spots across the far western zones could reach the triple digit Thursday and Friday. In general, the dry weather is expected to continue into next weekend but we will have to monitor the potential for nocturnal complexes from the northwest and daytime convection across the east. Some of the extended guidance show a weakness in the ridge that could result in a few passing disturbances over the region. It is too early to discuss any details, so for now we will show a low chance of precipitation Sunday and Monday. Sanchez && .AVIATION... /Issued 115 PM CDT Mon Jun 7 2021/ /18Z TAFs/ Concerns...Ongoing lingering rain along with MVFR. Improvement to VFR expected later this afternoon before additional MVFR arrives tonight. A mesoscale convective vortex is moving across North Texas at this time in the wake of this morning's thunderstorms. Expect to see a diminishing potential for precipitation through the early afternoon hours. Lightning has significantly decreased in the past hour, therefore, a mention of lightning has been removed in the TAF. Recent satellite trends have also shown significant improvements to the cloud cover as subsidence increases behind the departing line of storms. For Waco, another small storm is approaching the airport as of 18Z and should move off to the east through the next two hours. The rest of the afternoon should remain precipitation free throughout with VFR gradually expanding. Another round of MVFR is looking likely as a low-level jet once again strengthens overnight. There will be storms that develop in West Texas tonight and move toward our region. There remains too much uncertainty whether the line of convection reaches the I-35 corridor. For that reason, no mention of precipitation has been included with this package. If probability of rain increases through the afternoon, it's possible a mention of showers or storms will be added later today. Hernandez && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... Dallas-Ft.
