AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX 627 PM CDT MON JUN 28 2010 .AVIATION... MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE VORTEX /MCV/ HAS FORMED WEST OF ALLIANCE FROM THE LATENT HEAT RELEASED BY THE HEAVY RAINS. THIS WILL HELP PULL MORE MOISTURE IN AND HAVE EXTENDED TEMPO TSRA AT METROPLEX TAF SITES THROUGH 02Z. WITH COOLING OF THE BOUNDARY LAYER...THE EXTREMELY HEAVY RAINS MAY BE DONE...BUT EXPECT LIGHTNING TO CONTINUE TO AFFECT METROPLEX TAF SITES. OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES WILL KEEP WINDS VARIABLE...BUT OVERALL DIRECTION SHOULD REMAIN NORTH. AT KACT...FEEL THAT THE STORMS TO THEIR NORTHWEST WILL DISSIPATE AND HAVE LEFT VCTS IN THROUGH 01Z.

IN THE UPPER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE...NORTH TEXAS REMAINS IN A WEAK ENVIRONMENT BETWEEN TWO UPPER LEVEL RIDGES WITH AN UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER THE SOUTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE. AS WE CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING HOURS...A FEW STRONG STORMS ARE POSSIBLE BUT THE THREAT FOR HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. SOUTHEAST AND EAST WINDS IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER OVERNIGHT COMBINED WITH PWATS OVER 2 INCHES MAY PROVIDE ENOUGH LIFT FOR LARGE AREAS OF RAIN TO DEVELOP AGAIN TONIGHT AND THE MODELS TODAY HAVE CONSISTENTLY BEEN SHOWING THIS SCENARIO. HAVE INCREASED POPS OVERNIGHT TO 50 TO 60 PERCENT. EXPECT ANY OVERNIGHT PRECIPITATION TO DISSIPATE DURING THE MORNING HOURS ON TUESDAY AND THEN CONVECTION TO REDEVELOP IN THE AFTERNOON HOURS...SIMILAR TO TODAY. AFTER TUESDAY...MUCH OF THE FORECAST WILL DEPEND ON THE TRACK AND SIZE OF TROPICAL STORM ALEX CURRENTLY IN THE BAY OF CAMPECHE. THE CURRENT TRACK MOVES THE STORM INLAND SOUTH OF BROWNSVILLE AND CONTINUES IT WEST ACROSS NORTHERN MEXICO BUT A FEW MODEL GUIDANCE MEMBERS CONTINUE TO TRACK THE STORM FARTHER TO THE NORTH AND POSSIBLY INTO NORTH TEXAS LATER THIS WEEK. THE OPERATIONAL RUN OF THE NAM AND GFS HAVE FALLEN MORE IN LINE WITH THE ECMWF BRINGING THE STORM INLAND NEAR OR JUST SOUTH OF BROWNSVILLE. BASED ON THE CURRENT NHC OFFICIAL TRACK...IMPACTS TO NORTH TEXAS COULD BE MINIMAL. HOWEVER...THE SIZE OF THE STORM COULD IMPACT THE WEATHER IN NORTH TEXAS ALSO. CURRENTLY THE MODELS ARE FAIRLY BROAD WITH THE STORM BRINGING RAIN INTO THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES OF THE CWA AND KEEPING TEMPERATURES COOLER ACROSS THE REGION /DUE TO THE RAIN AND CLOUD COVER/. HOWEVER...IF THE STORM IS MORE COMPACT...THE RAIN COULD END UP CONFINED TO SOUTH TEXAS AND TEMPERATURES COULD BE WARMER IN OUR REGION. WITH SOME UNCERTAINTY STILL IN THE FORECAST REGARDING ALEX...STUCK FAIRLY CLOSE TO MOS GUIDANCE BEYOND TUESDAY AND KEPT SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE SOUTH WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. MOST OF THE MODELS CONTINUE TO KEEP NORTH TEXAS IN A WEAKNESS ALOFT THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS ALEX MOVES TO THE WEST AND THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE CURRENTLY TO OUR NORTHWEST MOVES THROUGH THE PLAINS AND INTO THE SOUTHEAST CONUS. AS THIS HAPPENS...THE MODELS BRING A WEAK DISTURBANCE AROUND THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE RIDGE...ACROSS TEXAS...AND REDEVELOP PRECIPITATION IN ASSOCIATION WITH IT.
