NWS Fort Worth, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 16, 8:20 PM CST, 5 hours 18 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX 920 PM CDT THU JUN 16 2005 .DISCUSSION... INTERESTING NIGHT SHAPING UP FOR PORTIONS OF NORTH TEXAS AS TWO MCS DEVELOP AND MOVE TOWARD THE REGION. THE FIRST STORM COMPLEX IS CURRENTLY OVER THE SOUTH PLAINS/LOW ROLLING PLAINS AND MOVING EAST. THIS COMPLEX WAS NOT PICKED UP ON BY ANY OF MODELS BUT IS MAINTAINING ITS STRENGTH AND MOVING EAST AROUND 25 MPH. THE SECOND COMPLEX CURRENTLY OVER NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA WAS BETTER ADVERTISED BY THE MODELS AND IS MOVING SOUTHEAST AROUND 30 MPH. OUR CURRENT THINKING IS THAT THE COMPLEX IN OKLAHOMA WILL BEGIN TO ACCELERATE AS A 30 TO 35 KNOT LOW LEVEL JET DEVELOPS. THIS WOULD PUT THE LEADING EDGE OF COMPLEX NEAR THE RED RIVER AROUND 3 AM. WEST TEXAS STORMS SHOULD REACH THE WESTERN ZONES IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. SOME WEAKENING MAY OCCUR AS THE STORMS MOVE INTO SLIGHTLY MORE STABLE AIR. HOWEVER...ANY STORMS THAT MOVE INTO NORTH TEXAS TONIGHT WILL HAVE A GOOD CHANCE AT PRODUCING STRONG DOWNBURST WINDS BASED ON THE MID LEVEL INSTABILITY AND 40+ KNOTS WINDS ALOFT. WILL UPDATE OVERNIGHT POPS TO INCREASE THEM IN THE WEST AND BUMP THEM UP SLIGHTLY IN THE NORTH AND CENTRAL. WILL KEEP SEVERE MENTIONED OVERNIGHT. && .AVIATION... MCS...PROGGED TO DEVELOP FROM CONVECTION OVER SW KANSAS AND NW OKLAHOMA...WILL PRESENT THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CONCERN FOR THIS FORECAST PERIOD. WITH DEEP-LAYER RIDGING SLOWLY BUILDING ACROSS AREA FROM THE SOUTHWEST...CURRENT THINKING IS THAT HIGHER PROBABILITIES FOR THUNDER WILL OCCUR TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE METROPLEX TAF SITES. HOWEVER...CB/VCTS MAY NEED TO BE ADDED AT 17/06Z -- ESPECIALLY FOR KDFW/KDAL -- BASED ON POSITION AND INTENSITY OF MCS. OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL...WITH INCREASING CI/CS OVERNIGHT...AND ANOTHER DECK OF HIGH BASED CU ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON. SURFACE WINDS WILL GENERALLY REMAIN FROM S/SE...WITH SPEEDS OF 8-12 KNOTS. 65/DD && .DISCUSSION... 350 PM CDT TSRA/SHRA STRUGGLING TO DEVELOP ALONG OUTFLOW BOUNDARY CRS-PSN. INCREASING SUBSIDENCE EVIDENT IN CU FIELD. CU RATHER FLAT NORTH OF BOUNDARY AS WELL. SHEAR ALSO WEAK AND SHOULD LIMIT LIFESPAN OF ANY TCU/CB THAT DO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING. A FEW MORE HOURS OF BL HEATING REMAIN...AND POTENTIAL FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT REMAINS. CAPES STILL HIGH...DOWNBURST POTENTIAL WITH LOW-SHEAR HIGH CAPE SHORT-LIVED CELLS. WILL MAINTAIN SVR MENTION OVERNIGHT FOR ANY EVENING CONVECTION AND NOCTURNAL MCS LATE TONIGHT. POPS INTO FRIDAY MORNING MAINLY NE FOR LINGERING MCS. RIDGE BUILDS IN THIS WEEKEND IN EARNEST. TEMPS LIKELY UPPER 90S TO NEAR 100 MOST AREAS. HUMIDITY TO REMAIN HIGH WITH UNCOMFORTABLE AFTERNOON HEAT INDEX VALUES. URBAN LOWS WILL BE NEAR 80F.
