Winds have weakened and will eventually drop to around 10 MPH over
the next couple of hours. The Wind Advisory will therefore be 
allowed to expire at 6 PM.

...New Short Term...

.SHORT TERM... /NEW/
Update:
/Through Monday Night/

No changes through Monday afternoon from the previous discussion
below. I have some isolated, light showers or sprinkles coming in
from DFW and points south through west late in the day and evening
tomorrow as this system works to be a primer for the main system
arriving 24-36 hrs later.

Surface wind speeds will increase by Monday evening and beyond,
as approaching mid level high falls help to induce a 50-60 kt LLJ
a few thousand feet above the surface Monday night. We'll likely
remain capped with only a few light showers across the north and
west where the cap may be more elevated and weaker. Lows will
remain up in the 50s for most areas by daybreak Tuesday, thanks to
the surface remaining semi- coupled with the PBL, increasing
surface moisture, and a blanket of stratus around.

Previous Discussion:
/Through Monday/

A quiet day is unfolding across the region as surface ridging
keeps light southerly winds in place. Outside of a few passing
cirrus, abundant sunshine will prevail throughout the afternoon.
Winds will have a slight westerly component, which will allow
temperatures to warm pleasantly into the 60s to low 70s.

Upper level clouds will increase overnight, which will keep
temperatures well above freezing (though still chilly) across the
area. Not much change in our sensible weather is expected
tomorrow, though increasing clouds will keep temperatures nearly
the same or even slightly cooler than today. While most of the
area will remain rain-free, the exception may be across western
North Texas where mid-level clouds may be able to squeeze out a
very light shower or two Monday afternoon. Only 10% PoPs have been
mentioned for now, as a dry subcloud layer will prevent most of
any rain that develops from reaching the ground. Most of the rain
will hold off until Monday night when our next rain-producing
system arrives. More on that in the long term discussion below.

.LONG TERM... /Issued 221 PM CST Sun Feb 12 2023/
/Monday Night and Beyond/

A series of upper-level disturbances will bring unsettled weather
to North and Central Texas this week. The first system, currently
located off the coast of Baja California, will arrive Monday
night and quickly shift to the east by midday Tuesday. Increasing
southerly flow will draw dewpoints in the 50s northward into the
area by Monday evening. Large-scale lift associated with the
upper-level low, isentropic ascent in a moistening environment,
and forcing along a eastward-progressing Pacific front will lead
to the development of scattered to numerous showers across the
region Monday night into Tuesday. MUCAPE below 400 J/kg may allow
for a few embedded thunderstorms. Severe weather is not expected
with this round of showers and thunderstorms. High-res model
guidance has most of the precipitation exiting the area to the
east by 9-11 AM Tuesday morning. Due to the progressive nature of
this system, less than 0.25-0.50" of rainfall is expected across
most of the CWA.

Sunny skies will return by late Tuesday morning leading way to a
warm, windy day. The surface gradient will strengthen Tuesday as
pressure falls occur in the lee of the Rockies. Sustained
southwest winds of 20-25 mph are expected much of the day Tuesday.
Daytime mixing up to ~875-850 mb will allow for occasional gusts
of 35-45 mph. A Wind Advisory will likely be needed for Tuesday,
and an issuance will be considered in a future forecast package.
Surface winds will lighten Tuesday night before southerly flow
increases once again on Wednesday ahead of the next system. Strong
warm-air advection will lead to widespread highs in the 70s
Wednesday afternoon, possibly low 80s across our western zones.

The next system will traverse across the Four Corners region into
the Southern Plains on Wednesday. Surface cyclogenesis will occur
near the Texas Panhandle. As this surface low shifts
northeastward, it will send a cold front across North and Central
Texas. This system will bring increased chances for showers and
thunderstorms, primarily along and east of the I-35 corridor.
Dewpoints in the low 60s look to nudge northward and sprawl across
the warm sector by late Wednesday afternoon. The northern extent
of this moisture return will be paramount in determining the
ultimate severe potential as the most favorable wind shear will
reside across North Texas. The latest trends are for a less
amplified system which could also limit the overall potential for
this event. Nonetheless, sufficient shear and instability will
promote an increased risk for a few strong to severe
thunderstorms, both in the warm sector and along the frontal
boundary late Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday night.

Drier and cooler weather will move in behind this system.
Afternoon highs in the 40s and 50s are expected Thursday and
Friday with overnight lows near or below freezing. A gradual
warm-up looks to take place over the weekend as mid-level ridging
develops overhead. Deterministic and ensemble guidance is
beginning to hint at another system that could bring increased
chances for precipitation early next week.

.AVIATION... /Issued 551 PM CST Sun Feb 12 2023/
/00z TAFs/

No concerns in the first 12z (or through tonight), as VFR and a
few high clouds around FL250 are forecast. Winds will be S or SW
AOB 10 kts through 18z Monday.

Concerns increase some by 00z Tuesday, as S-SE wins increase to
15-25 kts with gusts to between 35-40 kts by 05z and beyond on
Tuesday.

An initial disturbance impacts areas mainly W of airports on
Monday with virga and potential turbulence becoming an issues
Tuesday afternoon/evening. I do think isolated -SHRA are
possible across all D10 airports. I have added VCSH toward the
24-hr mark of the forecast.
