AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX 851 PM CDT FRI JUN 1 2007 .AVIATION... THE THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX THAT EXTENDED NORTHWEST OF A KADM...KRPH... KABI LINE AS OF 0130Z...WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTHEAST AT 25 MPH. AS THIS ACTIVITY MOVES FARTHER EAST...IT WILL BE RUNNING INTO LESS UNSTABLE AIR. SOME OF THIS ACTIVITY MAY AFFECT METROPLEX TAF SITES AFTER 05Z...BUT THE WORST OF THE STORMS WILL REMAIN TO THE WEST OF THE TAF SITES. OTHERWISE...ANOTHER AREA OF THUNDERSTORMS IS AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT THAT EXTENDS FROM SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS ACROSS THE NORTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE TO NORTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO AS OF 01Z. EVEN THOUGH THE FRONT NOT EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO NORTH TEXAS...SOME OF THE STORMS MAY AFFECT THE METROPLEX TAF SITES TOWARD DAYBREAK. MVFR CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AFTER 06Z IN THE WACO AREA AND SPREAD NORTH INTO THE METROPLEX BY 09Z. CEILINGS WILL IMPROVE TO VFR BY MIDDAY...OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS. #58 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 732 PM CDT FRI JUN 1 2007/ AVIATION... THE THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX EXTENDED FROM KSPS....TO 40 NW OF KABI AS 0015Z...WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTHEAST AT AROUND 25 KNOTS. SOME OF THIS ACTIVITY MAY AFFECT METROPLEX TAF SITES AFTER 0330Z. OTHERWISE...ANOTHER THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE TEXAS PANHANDLE/NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA THAT MAY AFFECT THE METROPLEX TAF SITES TOWARD DAYBREAK. MVFR CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AFTER 06Z IN THE WACO AREA AND SPREAD NORTH INTO THE METROPLEX BY 09Z. CEILINGS WILL IMPROVE TO VFR BY MIDDAY...OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS. #58 PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 600 PM CDT FRI JUN 1 2007/ UPDATE... 600 PM CDT UPDATE TO INCLUDE SVA 325. ALSO INCREASED POPS IN NW ZONES...AND INCLUDED MENTION OF SVR/+RA WHERE WATCH IS NOW IN EFFECT. 25 PREV DISCUSSION... 318 PM CDT CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN INHIBITED SO FAR THIS AFTERNOON... POSSIBLY BECAUSE OF INCREASING CAP. HOWEVER...THE SHORTWAVE CURRENTLY MOVING INTO WEST TEXAS WILL MOVE EAST THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT AND LEAD TO WIDESPREAD CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT (MCS) JUST TO W AND NW OF FWD CWA. MCS-GENESIS IS APPARENTLY UNDERWAY WITH LARGE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM JUST SOUTH OF CHILDRESS AT THIS TIME. A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS STILL POSSIBLE ACROSS NORTHWEST ZONES LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS REGION OF LARGE SCALE LIFT MOVES OVER FAVORABLE THERMODYNAMIC PROFILES. HOWEVER...THE MAIN WEATHER STORY NEXT 12-18 HOURS WILL BE THE POTENTIALLY SEVERE MCS THAT IS FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS PARTS OF NORTH TEXAS TONIGHT. EXACT TRACK STILL UNCERTAIN...BUT CURRENT PROPAGATION VECTORS AND THICKNESS LINES SUGGEST THAT SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE MCS WILL TRACK FROM ROUGHLY BRECKENRIDGE TO DFW TO CANTON TONIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING. WILL GO WITH LIKELY POPS IN THE RED RIVER COUNTIES AND TAPER TO HIGH CHANCE DFW METROPLEX AND THEN SLIGHT CHANCE AT WACO. WILL MENTION THE THREAT OF HEAVY RAIN AND SEVERE WEATHER ALONG AND NORTH OF THE BRECKENRIDGE-DFW-CANTON LINE. MORE DETAILS ON STORM THREATS TO BE OUTLINED IN HWOFWD PRODUCT. MCS WILL LIKELY BE ONGOING EARLY SATURDAY ACROSS NORTHEAST ZONES...AND WILL KEEP POPS HIGH IN THE MORNING. SUBSEQUENT AFTERNOON DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY LESS CERTAIN SINCE MOST OF NORTH TEXAS MAY BE IN SUBSIDENCE REGION BEHIND DEPARTING SHORTWAVE. WILL CARRY ONLY CHANCE POPS INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS ON SATURDAY...WITH HIGHEST VALUES IN CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN ZONES. REPEAT MCS DEVELOPMENT WILL BE POSSIBLE...WITH INITIATION MOST LIKELY WEST OF CWA...AGAIN ON SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY MORNING AND ALSO SUNDAY NIGHT/MONDAY MORNING. WILL PLACE HIGHEST POPS IN THE SOUTHERN AND WESTERN ZONES FOR THESE PERIODS...BUT THERE IS TOO MUCH UNCERTAINTY WITH LOCATION AND TIMING TO GO MUCH HIGHER THAN 40-50 POPS IN ANY PERIOD. AFTER A CHANCE OF STORMS TUESDAY IN THE SOUTHERN ZONES...STILL EXPECTING A PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER ACROSS ALL OF NORTH TEXAS FOR WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY PERIOD OF NEXT WEEK. INCREASED MID LEVEL RIDGING AHEAD OF A WESTERN U.S. TROUGH LIKELY TO INHIBIT CONVECTION. HOWEVER... ABOVE NORMAL HIGH TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITIES WILL BE LIKELY AND MID-LATE WEEK PERIOD MAY BE THE FIRST ROUND OF SUMMER-LIKE CONDITIONS FOR NORTH TEXAS. /09 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
