NWS Fort Worth, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 12, 5:50 PM CST, 10 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX 650 PM CDT TUE JUN 12 2007 .AVIATION... 650 PM CDT TSRA WILL REMAIN A SAFE DISTANCE FROM TAF SITES...BUT TRAFFIC IN/OUT OF DFW WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE ISSUES DUE TO TSRA IN MANY DIRECTIONS. AS IN PREVIOUS DAYS...ACTIVITY WILL DISSIPATE AFTER SUNSET. EXPECT SOME CI/CS DEBRIS ALONG WITH SOME AFTERNOON CU WEDNESDAY. VERY LITTLE IN THE WAY OF MORNING SC FOR METRO TAF SITES...BUT WACO SHOULD SEE FEW/SCT DECKS NEAR OR JUST AFTER SUNRISE. SHRA/TSRA CHANCES TOO LOW ON WEDNESDAY TO MENTION. 25 && .DISCUSSION... 259 PM CDT UPPER TROF NOW OVER COLORADO WILL MOVE ESE TO OKLAHOMA BY THURSDAY NIGHT. AS IT APPROACHES THE ATMOSPHERE OVER NORTH TX WILL BEGIN TO DESTABILIZE AND POPS WILL INCREASE. MODELS HAVE BEEN PRETTY CONSISTENT IN CUTTING OFF THE LOW AND STALLING IT OVER THE RED RIVER THROUGH SUNDAY BEFORE IT FINALLY STARTS LIFTING OUT TO THE NORTHEAST BY MONDAY MORNING. THEY ARE NOT TOO CONSISTENT ON INDIVIDUAL RAIN EVENTS THOUGH BECAUSE THEY HAVE A HARD TIME INITIALIZING AND ADVECTING THE WEAK DISTURBANCES THAT ROTATE AROUND THESE UPPER LOWS AND CAUSE THE PRECIP EVENTS. OVERALL THOUGH...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY WILL BE A PERIOD OF UNSETTLED WEATHER. BECAUSE THE TIMING OF ANY GIVEN PRECIP EVENT IS DIFFICULT...I HAVE LEFT CHANCE POPS FOR ANY SIX HOUR PERIOD...BUT IT LOOKS LIKE MOST OF NORTH TEXAS SHOULD SEE ONE OR MORE PERIODS OF RAIN SOME TIME BEFORE THE WEEKEND IS UP. WE GET A BREAK ON MONDAY BUT BY NEXT TUESDAY WE SIT UNDER NORTHWEST FLOW BEHIND THE UPPER LOW SO HAVE ADDED SLIGHT CHANCE FOR MORNING POPS DUE TO NOCTURNAL CONVECTIVE SYSTEM THAT MAY CATCH THE AREA AFTER SUNRISE. 84 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
