Area Forecast Discussion

714 PM CDT Mon Mar 21 2022

...New Short Term, Aviation...

.SHORT TERM... /NEW/
Update:
A broken line of storms has developed across the area and will
continue to move east over the next few hours. These storms are in
a region of surface-based instability, very strong shear, and
ample low-level helicity, and multiple reports of
tornadoes/thunderstorm damage have been received across several
areas this evening. All modes of severe weather will continue to
be possible as they move east, with a combination of supercellular
and QLCS-like structures expected to continue. A more significant
tornado threat will exist with any supercell structures, with a
QLCS tornado threat in any NW/SE-oriented segments in the more
linear structures.

Heavy rain and flooding will be possible late this evening across
eastern portions of North and Central Texas. Most of the activity
should exit the region by 9 pm or so, with a few lingering showers
and storms across our southeast through early Tuesday morning.

Previous Discussion:
/Today and Tonight/

Not much has changed regarding today's severe weather potential.
The radar scope has blossomed across much of the area, and this
trend will continue over the next couple of hours. The activity
across North Texas currently resides in a region of 800-1200 J/kg
MUCAPE, so a severe hail threat will exist with any robust
updrafts that are able to develop. Meanwhile, strong southerly
flow near the surface continues to usher rich moisture into North
and Central Texas. Dew points in the mid 60s have begun to surge
into Central Texas and will continue to make their way northward
this afternoon. As this occurs, convection will become
increasingly surface-based from south to north, increasing the
threat of severe weather.

Lift will be maximized late this afternoon as a dryline nears the
CWA. This should result in additional development likely somewhere
near the I-35 corridor. Discrete supercells are expected to be
the primary storm mode with this round of convection. This will
open the door to all modes of severe weather, including very large
hail, tornadoes (some strong), and damaging winds. Though severe
weather is possible across most of the forecast area this
afternoon and evening, the greatest chances for severe storms
still appear to be across our southeast where severe weather
ingredients will align the most optimally. The Storm Prediction
Center has upgraded this region to a Moderate Risk (level 4/5) for
severe weather this afternoon and evening.

This activity is expected to move northeast through this evening,
shifting the severe weather threat to eastern portions of North
and Central Texas. Additionally, this appears to be the most
likely area to have a heavy rain/flooding potential, as some
training of showers and thunderstorms will be possible. Though
most of the activity should exit to the east near 9-10 pm, additional
development may be possible across the Brazos Valley through the
remainder of the overnight period. If you're in this area, be
sure you have multiple ways to receive warnings before heading to
bed tonight, as a continued threat for severe storms will exist
into the overnight hours.

.LONG TERM... /Issued 257 PM CDT Mon Mar 21 2022/
/Tuesday Morning onward/

Tuesday morning through Tuesday night:

As the cold front continues to move toward the E/SE, so will our
chances for rain. Some lingering showers and storms are possible in
our eastern and southeastern counties through the morning hours on
Tuesday, but should move completely out of the eastern CWA borders
by the late morning/early afternoon hours. Decided to trend a bit
lower with our northwest and western tier of counties' high
temperatures for Tuesday, as dense cloud cover will continue to
blanket North Texas through the afternoon hours.

A stout pressure gradient will allow for windy conditions to occur
Tuesday morning and afternoon. As of this issuance, we are just
below Wind Advisory criteria, but that will be something to keep
in mind during future short term forecast updates. Due to the
strong gradient, trended sustained winds for Tuesday morning and
afternoon slightly higher. Expect sustained speeds around 15-25
mph with gusts upwards of 30 mph, to make for a windy day.

Wednesday through the rest of the period:

The general pattern over the rest of this week features a longwave
trough traversing over a vast majority of the CONUS through this
week. This will allow for cooler temperatures to stick around. After
the passage of the upper-level trough at the end of the week, the
state of Texas will start to be under the influence of a upper-level
ridge, which will result in a warming trend as we go into the
weekend.

A diffuse cold front will move in during late week, though the
only noticeable difference will be a wind shift as a lackluster
moisture column will keep North and Central Texas dry with this
FROPA. Southerly low-level flow will return during the weekend,
and coupled with continued warm air advection off of a low-level
high situated in the Gulf of Mexico, will bring in a surge of
increased moisture to North and Central Texas. Thanks to that,
we'll start to see a warm up at the end of the week. Sunday and
Monday will observe windy conditions, as the pressure gradient
tightens.

Warm temperatures, breezy to windy conditions(sustained 15-25 mph
with gusts upwards of 30 mph), and lower relative humidities in
the mid-teens to 30% will allow elevated fire weather conditions
to return for areas generally west of I-35 on Wednesday-Thursday,
and Saturday-Monday. Currently more concerned with Wednesday and
Sunday/Monday, since the wind speeds are higher and the elevated
fire concerns are more widespread in coverage than compared to
Thursday and Saturday. Continue to take caution with any outdoor
activities that could produce grass fire starts.

Another front moves through just outside of the long term period,
bringing a chance for precipitation chances. However, since it is
outside of the bounds of this forecast and there is uncertainty on
when and where precipitation will occur, it will not be seen in this
long term update. This is still something to keep in mind as we
continue into the early spring season, and details will become more
refined as guidance and subsequent forecast issuances bring it into
view.

.AVIATION... /NEW/
/00Z TAFs/

A broken line of showers and thunderstorms continues to move east
this evening. Western portions of D10 should see an end to
convection within the hour, with the rest of D10 ending from
west to east within the next couple of hours. Showers and
thunderstorms will be possible at KACT for a bit longer than our
North Texas terminals, but should end by 03Z.

South flow will veer out of the southwest overnight, with a cold
front bringing a northwesterly wind shift by early Tuesday
morning. Behind the front, winds will increase to 20 to 25 knots
with gusts up to 30 to 35 knots. Gusty winds will continue for
much of the afternoon, but wind speeds should somewhat relax by
Tuesday evening.

Some guidance is hinting at the potential for post-frontal MVFR
ceilings for a few hours Tuesday morning. However, excluded any
mention for now given the low confidence.
