NWS Fort Worth, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 5, 2:29 PM CST, 56 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX 329 PM CDT WED JUL 5 2006 .DISCUSSION... THE WARM CORE UPPER LOW THAT HAS AFFECTED THE WEATHER ACROSS NORTH TEXAS SINCE LAST WEEKEND REMAINS NEARLY STATIONARY ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA. DEEP/MOIST CONVECTION DEVELOPED EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON...IN RESPONSE TO STRONG FORCING FOR LARGE SCALE ASCENT BENEATH PLUME OF STEEPER LAPSE RATES IN THE MID-LEVELS. THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE CLOSELY CONNECTED TO THE DIURNAL TEMPERATURE CYCLE...WITH MOST CELLS DISSIPATING QUICKLY AFTER DUSK. LOW-LEVEL FLOW HAS BACKED TO NORTHEAST ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA...IN RESPONSE TO A GRADUAL SOUTHWARD DRIFT OF THE UPPER SYSTEM. HOWEVER...THE TRUE BACKDOOR COLD FRONT REMAINS ACROSS CENTRAL OKLAHOMA...AND IS PROGGED TO SLOWLY MOVE ACROSS THE RED RIVER OVERNIGHT. WILL UNDERCUT MOS MINIMUM TEMPERATURES TONIGHT ACROSS THE NORTH...WITH A DRIER AIRMASS EXPECTED TO FILTER INTO THE REGION. FURTHERMORE...WILL MAINTAIN HIGHEST POPS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES WHERE STRONGEST/DEEPEST UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION AND RICHEST MOISTURE WILL BE LOCATED. MODELS SUGGEST UPPER RIDGING WILL BEGIN TO AMPLIFY ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS ON THURSDAY...FORCING WARM CORE UPPER LOW TO THE SOUTH...AND ALLOWING SURFACE HIGH TO STRENGTHEN OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST. THIS WILL RESULT IN A MUCH DRIER LOW-LEVEL AIRMASS TO MIXING INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTHEAST. DESPITE STRENGTH OF UPPER RIDGE...WEAK COLD ADVECTION IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER AND UPSLOPE COMPONENT TO LOW-LEVEL FLOW WILL LIMIT WARMING...AND WILL STAY CLOSE TO MOS TEMPERATURES CLUSTERED AROUND 90 F. CLEAR SKIES...LIGHT WINDS AND UNSEASONABLY LOW DEWPOINTS WILL ALLOW FOR VERY PLEASANT EVENING/OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE RED RIVER AND ACROSS THE NORTHEASTERN ZONES. THE DRY AIRMASS WILL BE SHORT-LIVED...WITH LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE PROGGED TO SURGE NORTHWARD ON SATURDAY...AS MID-LEVEL HEIGHT FALLS SPREAD ACROSS THE CENTRAL ROCKY MOUNTAINS. THE MAGNITUDE OF RIDGING ALOFT WILL CONTINUE TO GREATLY LIMIT THE POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTION ALONG RESIDUAL FRONTAL/SEABREEZE BOUNDARY THROUGH THE END OF THE SHORT TERM...AND WILL MAINTAIN A DRY FORECAST THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. BY SUNDAY...IT APPEARS THAT THE UPPER RIDGE WILL WEAKEN SUFFICIENTLY TO ALLOW ANY CONVECTION DEVELOPING ACROSS SOUTHEAST TEXAS TO MOVE NORTHWARD INTO THE AREA. WILL MAINTAIN INHERITED SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE EASTERN/SOUTHEASTERN COUNTIES FOR THIS REASON...WITH THE SCENARIO LIKELY REPEATED ON MONDAY-WEDNESDAY AFTERNOONS. A MUCH MORE UNCERTAIN CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION WAS LEFT IN THE FORECAST ACROSS THE RED RIVER ZONES...FOR DISSIPATING NOCTURNAL CONVECTIVE SYSTEMS THAT MAY APPROACH THE RED RIVER. GIVEN THAT THE GFSLR/ECMWF ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT ON THIS PATTERN...WILL CONTINUE WITH ISOLATED POPS AT THIS TIME...WITH A SLOW WARMING TREND EXPECTED THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
