Area forecast discussion, Jul 7, 5:15 AM CST, 3 hours 30 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED FOR AVIATION DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX 615 AM CDT THU JUL 7 2005 .AVIATION DISCUSSION... MCS CONTINUES TO WEAKEN AS IT MOVES SOUTHEAST. IR AND MOSAIC REFLECTIVITY BOTH SHOW A RAPID DISSIPATION OF CELLS JUST SOUTHWEST OF CHILDRESS. WE DONT THINK THE MCS WILL HAVE ANY REAL IMPACT ON THE METROPLEX AIRPORTS. AM A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT SHOWERS ON THE PERIPHERY OF THE COMPLEX FROM ABOUT GAINESVILLE TO DENTON. THESE SHOWERS ARE MOVING SOUTH AND SHOULD REACH DFW AND DAL OVER THE NEXT HOUR. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW LIGHTING STRIKES...BUT OVERALL IMPACTS SHOULD BE MINIMAL. COULD ALSO BE A FEW AFTERNOON/EVENING STORMS AROUND WITH REMNANT BOUNDARIES IN THE AREA AND CONTINUED MID LEVEL INSTABILITY BUT COVERAGE SHOULD BE ISOLATED SO WILL NOT CARRY IN TAFS. AFTER MID AND HIGH CLOUDS MOVE THROUGH THIS MORNING...ONLY SCATTERED CIRRUS SHOULD PREVAIL THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. ANOTHER MCS SHOULD SET UP OVER THE PANHANDLE LATE TONIGHT BUT SHOULD NOT IMPACT ANY TAF SITES UNTIL AFTER 12Z. VFR THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS AT OR BELOW 12 KNOTS. && .DISCUSSION... 402 AM MCS WILL MOVE THROUGH THE NORTHWEST COUNTIES THIS MORNING WITH SOME SKIRTING THE WESTERN METROPLEX AND MOVING SOUTH OF I-20 BEFORE MIDDAY. DOUBT IF THIS SYSTEM WILL BE ABLE TO HOLD TOGETHER AFTER LATE MORNING...THUS ONLY CHANCE POPS FOR THIS AFTERNOON. ALSO... HAVE ADJUSTED MAX TEMPS DOWNWARD A LITTLE OVER THE WESTERN COUNTIES FOR TODAY. ELSEWHERE... TEMPS WILL BE ABOUT LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS. THERE IS ANOTHER CHANCE OF A MCS TONIGHT... AND HAVE CHANCE POPS FOR THE NORTHWEST TONIGHT... AND MOST OF THE WESTERN AREAS FRIDAY MORNING. NEXT WEEKS FORECAST DEPENDS ON THE TRACK OF TS DENNIS. THE NEWEST GFSLR/ECMWF CONTINUES TO TAKE TS DENNIS NORTHWARD ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND INTO NORTHERN ARKANSAS BY TUESDAY... THEN WEAKENS IT INTO AN OPEN TROUGH THAT WOBBLES AROUND THE DELTA FOR SEVERAL DAYS. THIS WILL KEEP MOST OF ITS INFLUENCE EAST OF NORTH TEXAS... LEAVING US GENERALLY DRY NEXT WEEK. SURFACE FLOW WILL BACK AS DENNIS MOVES INTO THE ARKANSAS/MISSOURI AREA AND MIGHT DRAW DOWN DRIER CONTINENTAL AIR INTO THE REGION. THIS WILL AID NIGHTTIME COOLING AND MAKE OUR DAYS A LITTLE LESS HUMID. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... DALLAS-FT.
