NWS Fort Worth, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 20, 12:25 AM CST, 1 hour 5 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX 125 AM CDT WED JUN 20 2007 .UPDATE... UPDATED FORECASTS ARE BEING SENT TO INCLUDE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 426 THAT IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 AM CDT. POPS/WX/QPF GRIDS WERE ALSO ADJUSTED UPWARD FOR THE THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX OVER SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA THAT IS BARRELING SOUTHWARD. #58 && .DISCUSSION... && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1147 PM CDT TUE JUN 19 2007/ AVIATION... 1147 PM. WE/LL BE UPDATING KDFW TRACON TAF SITES TO INCLUDE TSRA 12-15Z AS OKLAHOMA CONVECTION CONTINUES TO MOVE SOUTH AT 21KT OVERNIGHT AS LLJ FEEDS THE SYSTEM. OTHER THAN SOME MORNING STRATUS AT KACT...MOST VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION. LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL REMAIN GENERALLY SOUTHEAST AT 6-12KT. 75 UPDATE... 1100 AM. THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX IN CENTRAL OKLAHOMA CONTINUES TO MOVE SOUTH AROUND 20 MPH. THE STORMS ARE STILL GOING STRONG AND CURRENT VAD SHOWS ABOUT 25 KNOTS OF MOIST INFLOW. HAVE DECIDED TO BE A LITTLE MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH THE FORECAST WITH RESPECT TO THUNDERSTORM CHANCES AND THE FLOODING POTENTIAL. WILL BE ISSUING A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE COUNTIES OF COOKE...GRAYSON...DENTON AND WISE THROUGH MIDDAY WEDNESDAY. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF ONE TO TWO INCHES IN A RELATIVELY SHORT TIME PERIOD WILL MOST CERTAINLY HAVE A HIGH IMPACT IN THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH AREA. SINCE STORMS SHOULD NOT REACH THE RED RIVER UNTIL ABOUT 3 OR 4 AM. WILL LET THE NEXT SHIFT REASSESS THE NEED FOR A WATCH FURTHER SOUTH ON WEDNESDAY. ONLY OTHER CHANGE WILL BE TO BUMP OVERNIGHT LOWS DOWN A BIT IN THE NORTH TO ACCOUNT FOR RAIN COOLED AIR. 79 UPDATE... 940 PM IMPRESSIVE CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES DEVELOPING OVER OKLAHOMA AND THE TEXAS PANHANDLE THIS EVENING. THE BIG QUESTION IS WHAT DIRECTION THESE STORMS WILL MOVE OVERNIGHT. IT APPEARS THAT A SOUTHWESTWARD PROPAGATION IS MOST LIKELY BASED ON THE FORECASTED LOW LEVEL JET AND CORFIDI VECTORS. HOWEVER... THE LINE IS FILLING IN FAR ENOUGH EAST THAT SOME STORMS WILL MOVE INTO NORTH TEXAS BEFORE SUNRISE WEDNESDAY. THE BEST CHANCE FOR SEVERE STORMS AND HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE GENERALLY WEST OF A GAINESVILLE TO EASTLAND LINE. THE HEAVY RAINFALL COULD LEAD TO FLOODING ISSUES AGAIN...ESPECIALLY IF THE COMPLEX MOVES SLIGHTLY MORE SOUTHERLY. WE WILL INCREASE POPS IN THE NORTH OVERNIGHT. WE WILL ALSO INCREASE POPS ON WEDNESDAY DUE TO WEAKENING STORM COMPLEX AND LEFT OVER OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES. NO OTHER MAJOR CHANGES WITH THIS UPDATE. AVIATION... 534 PM. KDFW/KACT TRACONS ARE TO REMAIN VFR EXCEPT 12-15Z WHEN A STRATUS DECK MAY ADVECT OVER THE SITES. AS EARLIER STATED...TONIGHT/S LLJ WILL BE WEAKER...THUS THERE IS LESS OF A POTENTIAL FOR STRATUS...HOWEVER WE/LL CARRY A BRIEF TEMPO TO COVER THE EVENT. SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH SKIES BECOME SKC THIS EVENING. EXPECT SOME CIRRUS DEBRIS FROM WEST TEXAS AFTER MIDNIGHT...AND SCATTERED CUMULUS WEDNESDAY LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON. HOT AND VERY HUMID WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. 75 PREV DISCUSSION... 422 PM CDT INTENSE HUMIDITY PREVAILS...WITH DEW POINTS IN THE 70S AREAWIDE. ACARS DATA SHOWING LITTLE IN THE WAY OF CAPPING...BUT CU SHOWING LITTLE VERTICAL EXTENT IN AN IMMENSELY UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT. HEIGHTS ALOFT ARE RISING WITH DEEP SUBSIDENCE. IN THE CAPE VS. CAP BATTLE...CAP APPEARS TO BE WINNING. SEA BREEZE ACTIVITY ABOUT 50 MILES SOUTHEAST OF CWA...MAKING MINIMAL PROGRESS INLAND (INTO SUBSIDENT AREA). FRONTAL CONVECTION IN ARKANSAS IS BUILDING WEST...BUT SHOULD FAIL TO REACH AS FAR WEST AS NE CWA. MOISTURE SURGING WEST INTO WEST TEXAS...BUT WITH EASTERLY WINDS PREVAILING ACROSS WEST TEXAS AND NEW MEXICO... MOISTURE CONVERGENCE IS LESS THAN WHAT THE DEW POINT GRADIENT WOULD IMPLY. REGARDLESS...CONVECTION HAS BEGUN FROM EASTERN NEW MEXICO INTO THE BIG BEND REGION. THIS ACTIVITY WILL STAY WELL WEST OF THE AREA. BEYOND THE THREAT OF SPONTANEOUS CONVECTION ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING...NEXT BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIP WILL BE FROM MCS PLUNGING SOUTH FROM ONGOING CONVECTION IN KANSAS. MODELS DESIRE TO STEER MCS SOUTHWESTWARD TOWARD BEST (THOUGH MEAGER) INFLOW. DEW POINTS OF 60 TO 70F ON HIGH TERRAIN IS CONSIDERABLY BUOYANT...AND WILL REMAIN SO THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT...PERHAPS AIDED BY ONGOING AFTERNOON/EVENING STORMS. EXPECT MCS WILL BE MORE LIKELY TO HEAD SOUTH OR EVEN SOUTHEAST THAN TRY TO PENETRATE RIDGE AT NIGHT. WILL CARRY LOW END POPS IN NORTHERN FRINGE OF CWA FOR LATE NIGHT TIME PERIOD. WILL CERTAINLY BEAR WATCHING. EFFECTS OF RIDGE WILL BE SHORT-LIVED...AS UPPER HIGH WILL EASE BACK WEST. NORTHERLY FLOW THIS WEEKEND COULD ALLOW FOR SOME NOCTURNAL EVENTS...BUT THINK RIDGE WILL STILL BE DOMINANT. SOME DISAGREEMENT NEXT WEEK...BUT TEXAS MAY FIND ITSELF IN THE TROPICAL EASTERLIES SOUTH OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGES. WILL NOT INTRODUCE POPS UNTIL THERE IS BETTER RUN-TO-RUN CONSISTENCY. 25 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... DALLAS-FT.
