AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
1230 PM CDT MON JUN 4 2007

.AVIATION...
JUST MINOR ADJUSTMENTS ON TAFS. AGREE WITH CWSU ON OVERALL
EVOLUTION OF REMAINING VFR CONDS...WITH HIGH SCT CB GROUPS OVER
D/FW AREA THRU 00Z...WITH A VCTS/CB THRU 01Z ACT VCNTY...AS THEY
ARE IN MORE UNSTABLE AIRMASS AHEAD OF S/W MVG SE ACROSS N TX.
CROSSOVER TOOL INDICATES SOME HIGH END MVFR VSBYS POSSIBLE TWD 12Z
TUES...BUT WILL ONLY INDICATE AT ACT ATTM DUE TO POSSIBLE DRIER
AIR ADVECTING IN FROM NW INTO D/FW AREA SITES.

OTRW...WNW FLO 7-11 KTS THRU 00Z...VEERING SSW 5 KTS AFTRWDS.
VRB05KT OVRNGT SHD COVER IT. ENOUGH MIXING BY 16-17Z TUES FOR S
FLOW TO RETURN 7-9 KTS...BUT NOT SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO ADD THIS
TAF CYCLE.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1039 AM CDT MON JUN 4 2007/

DISCUSSION...
HAVE MADE SOME MINOR CHANGES TO CURRENT FORECAST TO ADJUST FOR
CURRENT TRENDS. WEAK UPPER CIRCULATION...CURRENTLY MOVING INTO THE
FAR WESTERN COUNTIES EAST OF KABI...WILL CONTINUE MOVING SOUTHEAST
ACROSS NORTH TEXAS TODAY. BEST CHANCES FOR CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT
WILL BE IN TWO AREAS...ONE IN AREAS VERY NEAR THE CIRCULATION
CENTER AND THE OTHER IN SOUTHEAST ZONES NEAR AREA OF BETTER
HEATING AND A SURFACE BOUNDARY.

UPDATE INCLUDES ADJUSTMENTS TO FIRST AND SECOND PERIOD POPS AND A
SLIGHT MODIFICATION TO SKY COVER BASED ON LATEST TRENDS. DID NOT
MAKE ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO TEMPERATURES OR WINDS. /09

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 621 AM CDT MON JUN 4 2007/

AVIATION...
REMNANTS OF NOCTURNAL MCS PUSHING INTO WESTERN NORTH TEXAS COUNTIES.
ALTHOUGH TREND SHOULD CONTINUE DOWNWARD WITH COVERAGE AND
INTENSITY... ENOUGH OF THE SHRA MAY APPROACH THE METROPLEX TAF SITES
TO WARRANT VCSH AROUND 14-17Z. AREA OF SHRA HAS A SLOW SOUTHWARD
DRIFT AS WELL...THUS VCSH REQUIRED FOR KACT STARTING AN HOUR OR SO
LATER.

BEST CHANCE OF AFTERNOON/EVENING TSRA WILL BE AT KACT DUE TO
PROXIMITY OF OUTFLOW BOUNDARY AND WEAK UPPER VORT MAX MOVING ACROSS.
WILL CARRY VCTS THROUGH 00Z AT KACT. AT METROPLEX SITES...WILL LEAVE
OUT VCTS DUE TO LESSER COVERAGE BUT WILL CARRY CB CLOUD GROUP.

NOCTURNAL MCS SUGGESTED BY GUIDANCE TONIGHT SHOULD REMAIN WEST OF
ALL TAF SITES. AGAIN...KACT WILL BE THE MOST LIKELY ONE TO BE
AFFECTED IF TSRA MOVE/BUILD FARTHER EAST OVERNIGHT. THUS WILL
INCLUDE CB CLOUD GROUP.

VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL THIS TAF CYCLE. WINDS LIGHT NORTHWEST
BECOMING SOUTHWEST BY END OF CYCLE.
06..

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
330 AM CDT
THIS MORNINGS MCS IS MUCH WEAKER THAN YESTERDAYS. COMPLEX
CONTINUES TO MOVE TOWARDS NORTH TEXAS...HOWEVER IR IMAGERY
INDICATES WARMING CLOUD TOPS WITH OUTFLOW NOW OUT AHEAD OF THE
SYSTEM. MCS LOCATED IN SOUTH TEXAS IS MOST LIKELY ROBBING THE
NORTHERN SYSTEM OF INFLOW. THUS...RAIN CHANCES WERE LOWERED. HAVE
KEPT CHANCE POPS IN THE WEST AND SOUTH WHERE SOME PRECIP MAY
GRAZE THE AREA THIS MORNING. ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY IS POSSIBLE THIS
AFTERNOON WITH REMNANT OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES LIKELY PROVIDING A
FOCUS FOR ANY CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPS.

MODELS ARE SHOWING ANOTHER NORTHWEST FLOW EVENT AGAIN TOMORROW
MORNING...WITH AN MCS FORMING IN THE TX PANHANDLE AND SLIDING SE.
THIS COMPLEX WILL MOST LIKELY TRACK FARTHER SOUTH ALONG OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES IN SOUTH TEXAS. HAVE AGAIN PLACED POPS IN THE WEST AND
SOUTH...ALONG THE EASTERN PERIPHERY OF THE MCS.

THE WEATHER PATTERN (AS FAR AS RAIN IS CONCERNED) WILL FINALLY
QUIET DOWN STARTING TUESDAY AS THE MEAN TROUGH SHIFTS EAST AND
HEIGHTS RISE ACROSS NORTH TEXAS. A CAPPING INVERSION WILL KEEP A
LID ON THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK. SW
LLJ WILL HELP 850 MB TEMPS RISE AS HIGH AS 26 DEGREES C ON
THURSDAY. THIS WILL TRANSLATE TO TEMPERATURES IN THE MID
90S/UPPER 70S ON THURSDAY. EXPECT TEMPS TO BE SOMEWHAT LOWER
FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY AS HEIGHTS DECREASE. IN ADDITION...LLJ
SPEEDS OF 40-50 KTS WILL MIX TO THE SURFACE...AND WINDS WEDNESDAY
AND THURSDAY AFTERNOON WILL BE QUITE STRONG.

SUBTROPICAL HIGH WILL DEVELOP IN THE GULF BY FRIDAY AS A BROAD
TROUGH PUSHES INTO THE PLAINS. NORTH TEXAS WILL BE SANDWICHED IN
BETWEEN THESE TWO SYSTEMS...WITH RESULTANT SW FLOW ALOFT. A FRONT
WILL STALL ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS...KEEPING THE GULF OPEN FOR
NORTH TEXAS. UNFORTUNATELY...THIS MEANS HUMIDITIES WILL LIKELY
REMAIN HIGH WITH STICKY CONDITIONS CONTINUING.  /13
