AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX 1148 PM CDT SAT JUN 13 2009 .AVIATION... WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP CONVECTION OUT OF METROPLEX TAFS AS CURRENT ACTIVITY SHOULD REMAIN NORTH OF TAF SITES. WE WILL SEE A WEAK WIND SHIFT TO THE NORTH SOON AS OUTFLOW MOVES INTO AREA...BUT EXPECT WINDS TO REVERT TO EAST/SOUTHEAST BY 7Z. WINDS SHOULD BECOME SOUTH AT 15KT WITH HIGHER GUSTS IN THE DAYTIME HOURS TOMORROW. OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED...WITH JUST SOME MID-HIGH CLOUDS FROM LINGERING STORM ANVILS. && .UPDATE... HAVE EXTENDED POPS FURTHER EAST ALONG THE RED RIVER VALLEY WHERE SFC-850 THETA-E RIDGE AXIS EXISTS. LOOKING MORE LIKELY VERY HEAVY RAINFALL AND DAMAGING WIND POTENTIAL FOR THE RED RIVER COUNTIES. THE POTENTIAL FOR HAIL SEEMS BETTER IN ACROSS SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA. NEW ZONE PACKAGE COMING OUT SOON. 75 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 340 PM CDT SAT JUN 13 2009/ CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO FIRE OVER WEST TEXAS LATE THIS AFTERNOON IN THE VICINITY OF THE DRY LINE. EXPECT ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS TO FORM FURTHER NORTH LATE THIS AFTERNOON NEAR THE STATIONARY FRONT LOCATED JUST NORTH OF THE RED RIVER. STORMS SHOULD PROPAGATE EAST THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND REACH THE EXTREME WESTERN ZONES BY EARLY EVENING. LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND A TORNADO OR TWO WILL BE POSSIBLE...BASED ON THE EXCESSIVE INSTABILITY AND LOW LEVEL SHEAR. THE 18Z FWD SOUNDING CONTINUED TO SHOW A STOUT CAP IN PLACE...SO AFTERNOON DEVELOPMENT IS UNLIKELY ACROSS THE REST REGION. HOWEVER...WEST TEXAS STORMS MAY DEVELOP INTO A MESOSCALE COMPLEX LATER THIS EVENING AND THESE SHOULD BEGIN TO PROPAGATE TOWARD THEIR MOISTURE SOURCE TONIGHT...WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE IN ALL BUT THE SOUTHEAST ZONES. A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY LINGER IN THE NORTH SUNDAY...BUT OVERALL...DRIER AND MORE CAPPED AIR SHOULD PREVENT STORM DEVELOPMENT. THE UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD OVER NORTH TEXAS NEXT WEEK AND BRING HOT AND RAIN-FREE CONDITIONS.
