AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX 303 PM CDT WED JUL 20 2011 .DISCUSSION... LITTLE CHANGE TO THE PREVIOUS FORECAST AS UPPER PATTERN REMAINS STUBBORNLY IN PLACE RESULTING IN CONTINUED HOT TEMPERATURES AND LITTLE CHANCE FOR RAINFALL. THE UPPER HIGH WILL ACTUALLY BE CENTERED A LITTLE FARTHER TO THE NORTHEAST ON THURSDAY THAN IN PREVIOUS DAYS BUT ITS EFFECTS WILL BE SIMILAR ACROSS THE REGION. BEST MOISTURE WILL BE CONFINED ACROSS FAR EAST TEXAS AND TO THE SOUTHEAST CLOSER TO THE COAST AS OUR WINDS BECOME MORE SOUTHERLY. GIVEN THE LACK OF ANY SIGNIFICANT FORCING FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...THINK ANY CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY WILL BE CONFINED TO LOCALIZED AREAS OF CONVERGENCE MAXIMA...LIKELY ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHERN COUNTIES THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. THE LATEST ECMWF PAINTS AN EVEN LESS OPTIMISTIC PICTURE ABOUT RAIN CHANCES THROUGH THE NEXT 7 DAYS...KEEPING THE UPPER RIDGE CENTERED VERY CLOSE BY.
