Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fort Worth TX 206 PM CDT Tue Jun 2 2026 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - 20-40% storm coverage is forecast today and Wednesday. A few storms could produce strong to marginally severe wind gusts and heavy rain, but widespread severe weather is not expected. - Better rain chances arrive areawide Friday into Sunday. && .SHORT TERM... (Through Wednesday night) Issued at 206 PM CDT Tue Jun 2 2026 After a dry and warm start of the week, we're switching back to a more active period across the region. Latest radar and satellite imagery show scattered showers and a few storms along and south of a weak surface boundary located south of I-20 that extends northeast toward the ArkLaTex. While most of the activity the rest of the afternoon should generally remain along and south of this boundary, areas north of this boundary may still see isolated storms through the evening, given there's still some weak ascent in these areas. We continue to highlight the potential for a few strong to marginally severe storms with damaging wind gusts and locally heavy rain as the main threats. Areas south of the DFW Metroplex, generally south of I-20 and along and east of I-35 will have the best potential to see any severe storm. However, we can't rule out a strong/severe storm a little farther to the north of this area as well. Most showers and storms should diminish during the evening hours with the loss of daytime heating, leaving a quiet night for North and Central TX. Outside of the storms this afternoon, hot and humid conditions will persist with highs in the low to mid 90s and lows tonight in the 70s. Tomorrow's storm chances will be highly dependent on where today's surface boundaries stall in Central TX and how far east a dryline advances. We will keep the mention of a few showers and storms over our western and southern counties during the afternoon and evening hours, but PoPs may need to be extended farther east in future forecast updates. Otherwise, expect another warm and humid day with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday through next Monday) Issued at 206 PM CDT Tue Jun 2 2026 The extended forecast will remain fairly unsettled with daily chances for showers and storms through early next week. Latest medium range guidance show more of the typical daytime scattered rain and storms both Thursday and Friday. While areas across East and Central TX will have the the best rain chances, we will keep at least slight chance of rain in the forecast for much of North and Central TX. The next upper level system is expected to approach from the Dessert Southwest late Friday and Saturday serving as a focus for more widespread activity through the weekend. The severe risk is lower at this time, but a few strong storms with gusty winds can't be ruled out. There will also be a threat for minor or localized flash flooding over locations that receive slow moving storms or multiple rounds of heavy rain. The combination of clouds and rain should keep the daytime temperatures in the 80s to lower 90s over the weekend. Looking into early next week, coverage of showers and storms will decrease with more isolated/scattered activity across the region. As a result, temperatures will return to more seasonal averages with widespread highs in the 90s. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 206 PM CDT Tue Jun 2 2026 The main aviation concern for the afternoon continues to be the potential for scattered storms to develop near the vicinity of the TAF sites. This morning's outflow boundary has moved south of the North Texas sites, evident by the development of a few showers over this area. While the best coverage the rest of the afternoon is still expected to be south of the sites, we can't rule out a few storms to impact any of the sites from any outflow boundary. A TEMPO TSRA has been added to account this potential. In addition to the lightning and heavy rain/rapid visibility drops, some of the stronger storms will have a potential to produce severe wind gusts/microbursts. Most of the activity should diminish after 02-03Z with VFR conditions expected through the end of the period. Otherwise, surface winds will remain east- northeast through Wednesday around 10 kts or less. Looking ahead, we could see another round of scattered storms Wednesday afternoon with the best coverage along the dryline over in West TX. && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is not expected at this time, but reports of hail, wind damage, strong to severe wind gusts, or flooding are appreciated. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... Dallas-Ft.
