...New Short Term...

.KEY MESSAGES...

- A line of showers and storms will continue to move across the
  region this morning. Some strong to severe storms are expected
  with large hail and a few tornadoes possible.

- Periods of heavy rain may also result in flash flooding through
  the morning hours.

- The active weather pattern will persist through next week with
  additional storm chances Tuesday night through Friday.

.SHORT TERM... /NEW/
/Today and Tonight/

Convection continues along and behind the surface cold front
draped across western North and Central Texas this morning with a
generally north-to-south oriented line segment beginning to push
across our western zones. The prefrontal environment remains
modestly unstable with a strengthening low-level jet maintaining
the deeply sheared environment sufficient for a continued (though
waning) threat for strong to severe thunderstorms. Additionally,
there continues to be a flood threat, particularly across our
northwestern zones where locally heavy rainfall and training
storms have already led to considerable flash flood issues during
earlier convection.

In the next couple of hours, the surface boundary and line of
thunderstorms should finally begin to approach the I-35 corridor
though likely undergoing considerable weakening the further east
it gets. The steady forward progress of this activity should
mitigate additional flood concerns with rain totals generally
remaining below 0.50 inch near and east of the I-35 corridor.
After a damp start, conditions should improve quickly today with
clearing skies and drier air spreading across the region through
the afternoon. Highs will peak in the 70s and low 80s. Showers
may linger through the afternoon in our far southeastern counties
but rain amounts will be light and shouldn't be enough to disrupt
holiday plans. Lows will dip into the upper 40s and 50s Sunday
night amid clearing skies and light winds.

.LONG TERM... /NEW/
/Monday through Next Sunday/

An active weather pattern will remain in place across the region
with daily rain and storm chances beginning late Tuesday through
the weekend.

A brief lull in the rain is still in the forecast for Monday with
clear skies and light easterly winds. A nearly stationary front
will settle just south of the area, keeping us precipitation-free
at least through Tuesday morning. Rain and storm chances will
begin to ramp up Tuesday afternoon and evening as the first of a
series of upper level disturbances approaches from the west. The
surface front will also begin to retract northward as a warm
front, providing additional focus for scattered showers and
storms. At this time, it appears the developing dryline will
remain to our west and with that the best chances for any
strong/severe storms. If the dryline moves closer to our area, the
severe weather risk may increase across our region.

Coverage of precipitation is expected to increase during the day
on Wednesday as the upper wave moves across the southern Plains.
Given the abundant moisture in place, we could see pockets of
moderate to heavy rain. This will increase the flooding concerns
over those locations that received the highest QPF over the
weekend (northwest counties and along the Red River). Additional
rounds of showers and storms are expected Thursday and Friday as
the following shortwaves move overhead. Again, we will have to
watch the potential for flash flooding if the same areas receive
multiple rounds of heavy rain over the week. At this time, we're
looking at widespread rainfall totals from 1-3 inches from
Tuesday through Saturday. Isolated higher amounts near 4" are
possible. While rain chances decrease some towards the weekend,
there will be at least some scattered activity through Sunday.

.AVIATION... /Issued 136 AM CDT Sun Apr 20 2025/
/06Z TAFs/

VFR and MVFR ceilings prevail as severe thunderstorms continue to
develop and move northward along and behind the stalled surface
front west of the Metroplex. The ongoing clusters of thunderstorms
are expected to continue to grow upscale into a larger scale line
before marching east across the region. Though these storms will
weaken as they approach the I-35 corridor, gusty winds may still
briefly impact the major airports around daybreak along with a
brief reduction in ceilings and visibilities. In the wake of the
line of storms, ceilings will improve fairly quickly and winds
will shift to the west with sustained speeds gradually decreasing
through the afternoon. By 00Z, surface winds should become more
northwesterly as wind speeds continue to diminish (less than 10
kts) through the end of the TAF period.
