AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED FOR AVIATION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX 1145 AM CST FRI JAN 27 2006 .AVIATION... MVFR CIGS NEAR 015 WILL HANG AROUND THROUGH THIS EVENING AS LOW LEVEL WARM ADVECTION CONTINUES. SHOWERS CURRENTLY ON RADAR IN THE WEST ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A LEAD SHORTWAVE AND ARE HAVING TROUBLE REACHING THE GROUND PER OBS AND DYS BASE REF. WILL HOLD OFF ON MENTIONING ANY PRECIP IN TAFS THIS AFTERNOON. UNFAVORABLE MAINTENANCE OF COLD AIR AT THE SURFACE DOES NOT BODE WELL FOR PROLONGED/WIDESPREAD STRATIFORM RAIN. RATHER...WARM ADVECTION REGIME AND STRONG LOW LEVEL JET SHOULD SUPPORT A FORECAST OF LIGHT/MOD SHOWERS STREAMING THROUGH THE AREA OVERNIGHT. WRF/ETA/UKMET SOLUTIONS ARE FAVORED WITH BEST CHANCES OF SHRA OCCURRING BETWEEN 6Z-15Z SAT WITH A MENTION OF THUNDER INCLUDED BETWEEN 10Z-14Z WHEN BEST FORCING ARRIVES. PRECIP SHOULD HELP WITH NEAR SURFACE SATURATION AND WILL LOWER THE CIGS TO IFR AND VIS TO MVFR AFTER MIDNIGHT.

FAVORABLE ISENTROPIC FEED WILL DEVELOP ACROSS NORTH TEXAS LATER TODAY AND PERSISTING OVER NIGHT. LOW LEVEL MOIST RETURN NOT AS STRONG AS WE WOULD LIKE (850 DP AOB 8 DEGREES) BUT IT DOES SEEM ADEQUATE FOR A FAIR AMOUNTS OF PRECIPITATION 1/2 TO 3/4 INCH. MID LEVEL INSTABILITY INCREASES FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY AS UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS AND LOW LEVEL WARM ADVECTION INCREASES LIFT WHICH FAVORS AN INCREASE IN THUNDER. WE CONTINUE WITH THE IDEA OF LIMITED THUNDER EARLY ON (FRIDAY). A FEW STRONG STORMS ARE EXPECTED FRIDAY NIGHT...MAINLY HEAVY RAIN PRODUCERS. COME SATURDAY...THERE COULD BE A FEW STRONGER ONES AHEAD OF THE DRYLINE WITH MARGINAL SEVERE HAIL. AS THE SURFACE LOW MOVES EAST ON SATURDAY...LARGE DRY SLOT DEVELOPS AND SWEEPS ACROSS THE REGION WITH A DRYLINE MOVING THROUGH MOST OF NTX BY SATURDAY EVENING AND BRINGING AN END TO THE RAIN. DRY AND MILD SUNDAY...THEN SLIGHTLY COOLER ON SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT AS A SURFACE COLD FRONT MOVES INTO NTX. SURFACE HIGH SINKS INTO THE NORTHWEST GULF TUESDAY WITH RETURN TO SOUTHERLY FLOW AND SLOW WARMING TREND TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. THERE IS ANOTHER CHANCE FOR RAIN LATE LATE IN THE FORECAST NEXT WEEK AS CYCLOGENSIS TAKES PLACE OVER THE PLAINS AND MOIST RICH AIR RETURNS AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. GFS TIMING OF THIS EVENT CHANGES A LITTLE WITH EACH RUN...THUS CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH AT THIS POINT BUT HAVE ADDED 20/30 POPS TO THE EXTENDED. CLIMATE...JANUARY SEEMS TO BE MAKING UP FOR LOST TIME. WE/VE HAD ALMOST TWICE THE RAINFALL THIS MONTH (JAN 22 = 0.66) THAN WE/VE HAVE IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS (NOV & DEC TOTAL = 0.35). BEFORE THAT THE LAST GOOD RAINFALL WAS OCT 31 AT 0.83. OUR OCTOBER THRU DECEMBER TOTAL IS 1.24 AND THIS MAY BE APPROACHED OR SURPASSED THIS WEEKEND. /75 && .FWD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. &&
