Hail and Damaging Winds in Texas, June 5, 2004

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
518 PM CDT SAT JUN 5 2004

.UPDATED...
HAVE UPDATES ZONES TO INCREASE POPS NE WHERE CONVECTION HAS BECOME
WELL ESTABLISHED. SHORT RANGE MODELS...INCLUDING WORKSTATION ETA
INDICATE THIS AREA WILL LINGER THROUGH EARLY MORNING. REST OF
FORECAST LEFT ALONE ATTM. 80

.DISCUSSION...
ONCE AGAIN...CONVECTION FROM PAST 24 HOURS HAS LEFT SEVERAL SURFACE
BOUNDARIES OVER NORTH TEXAS THAT COULD ACT AS A FOCUS FOR FURTHER
AFTERNOON DEVELOPMENT. HOWEVER...DEBRIS CLOUDS FROM THIS CONVECTION
HAVE PUT A DAMPER ON AFTERNOON MAX TEMPS REACHING NECESSARY LEVELS
TO INITIATE WIDESPREAD CONVECTION. WE EXPECT SCATTERED CONVECTION TO
DEVELOP...AND INDEED THERE IS SOME STARTING IN THE NORTHEAST PART OF
THE REGION AT THE PRESENT TIME.

THE BEST CHANCES FOR RAIN APPEAR TO BE LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY
AS A MCS SHOULD DEVELOP IN EASTERN NM AND CO OR THE TX/OK PANHANDLE
REGION AND MOVE SOUTHEAST OVERNIGHT...ARRIVING HERE AROUND
DAYBREAK...THEN CONTINUE ITS SOUTHEASTWARD TREK.

BY MONDAY...THE RIDGE SHOULD BE BUILDING OVER THE
PLAINS...SUPPRESSING CONVECTION FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AS A LONG WAVE
TROUGH PUSHES ONTO THE WEST COAST. THIS IN TURN WILL GIVE US A
CHANCE FOR MORE RAIN THE LATTER PART OF THE WEEK.
