Area forecast discussion, Apr 21, 3:00 AM CST, 1 hour 41 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX 400 AM CDT FRI APR 21 2006 .DISCUSSION... CURRENT WATER VAPOR SATELLITE DATA INDICATES THAT UPPER TROUGH AXIS IS NOW BEGINNING TO LIFT EAST-NORTHEASTWARD ALONG THE RED RIVER THIS MORNING. RESIDUAL CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY LOCATED ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA WILL COME TO AN END...AS THIS FEATURE ADVANCES EASTWARD TOWARD THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY REGION LATER THIS MORNING. WILL MAINTAIN LOW CHANCE POPS ACROSS MAINLY THE EASTERN COUNTIES TO ACCOUNT FOR LINGERING MORNING ACTIVITY...WITH DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED FOR REMAINDER OF THE AREA TODAY. DECENT RADIATIONAL COOLING CONDITIONS WILL BE IN PLACE OVERNIGHT...WITH LIGHT SOUTHERLY FLOW...CLEAR SKIES...AND DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER 50S EXPECTED TO RESULT IN A PLEASANTLY COOL MORNING FOR MOST LOCATIONS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE EAST. HOWEVER...SHORTWAVE RIDGING ALOFT WILL RESULT IN A RAPID WARMING TREND ON SATURDAY...AS LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE RAPIDLY RETURNS TO THE AREA COURTESY OF AN INTENSIFYING LEE-SIDE TROUGH. THE SPECTRAL MODELS CONTINUE TO BE MORE AGGRESSIVE THAN THE NAM IN THE RETURN OF LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE ACROSS WESTERN TEXAS...AND SUBSEQUENT DEVELOPMENT OF CONVECTION ALONG THE DRYLINE ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON. THIS SOLUTION APPEARS PLAUSIBLE...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTION BEING MAINTAINED BY A STRENGTHENING LOW-LEVEL JET AND WARM ADVECTION AS IT MOVES NORTHEASTWARD ON SUNDAY MORNING. WILL ONLY LEAVE VERY SLIGHT CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE NORTHWEST COUNTIES...WITH SLIGHTLY BETTER CHANCES FOR DRYLINE CONVECTION TO AFFECT THE WESTERN COUNTIES OF THE AREA ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON. MODELS SUGGEST THAT THE LOW-LEVEL JET WILL INTENSIFY ACROSS THE AREA ONCE AGAIN ON MONDAY MORNING...AS SOUTHWEST U.S. UPPER TROUGH BEGINS TO MIGRATE EASTWARD TOWARD THE GREAT BASIN. STRENGTH OF FORCING AND DEPTH OF MOISTURE MAY ALLOW ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO AFFECT MAINLY THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE AREA DURING THIS PERIOD. HOWEVER...A MORE ORGANIZED CONVECTIVE EVENT WILL LIKELY OCCUR FROM LATE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY...AS A COLD FRONT MOVES SOUTHWARD INTO NORTH TEXAS. HAVE INCREASED POPS FOR NORTHERN AREAS BEGINNING LATE ON MONDAY...WITH STORMS EXPECTED TO EXIT THE EASTERN COUNTIES DURING THE DAY ON TUESDAY. LATEST GFSLR/ECMWF ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT ON GENERAL FEATURES OF THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN ACROSS NOAM LATE NEXT WEEK...WITH THE ECMWF ADVERTISING A MORE INTENSE TROUGH ACROSS THE SOUTHWESTERN U.S. DESPITE THIS DIFFERENCE...IT APPEARS THAT THE FRONT WILL ONCE AGAIN STALL SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA...WITH ANOTHER ISENTROPICALLY INDUCED PRECIPITATION EVENT POSSIBLE FROM LATE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. HAVE INCREASED POPS DURING THIS TIME PERIOD...WITH HIGHEST CHANCES NEAR STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ZONES. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... DALLAS-FT.
