AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX 353 AM CDT MON JUN 17 2013 .DISCUSSION... A LARGE MCS WILL CONTINUE MOVING SOUTHEAST TOWARD NORTH TEXAS EARLY THIS MORNING AND SHOULD REACH THE NORTHWEST ZONES SHORTLY BEFORE 6 AM AS PER THE HRRR AND 4KM WRF SOLUTIONS AS WELL AS LINEAR EXTRAPOLATION. THE COMPLEX SHOULD WEAKEN AS IT MOVES FARTHER AWAY FROM ITS UPPER SUPPORT AND ALSO ONCE A 30 KNOT LOW LEVEL JET DECREASES LATER THIS MORNING. THIS SOLUTION IS ALSO SUPPORTED BY THE HRRR AND 4KM WRF. WE STILL EXPECT EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER AND SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS STORMS...THROUGH THE MORNING WITH THE EXPECTED TIME OF ARRIVAL OF STORMS AT THE METROPLEX BETWEEN 13 AND 15Z. SOME IMPRESSIVE WIND GUSTS BETWEEN 50 AND 55 KNOTS ARE OCCURRING WITH THE COMPLEX. IT IS VERY POSSIBLE THAT SOME SIMILAR WIND GUSTS COULD OCCUR ACROSS THE NORTHWEST CWA BY 6 AM. EXPECT STORMS TO BECOME LESS ORGANIZED BY MIDDAY AND AFFECT MAINLY THE EAST/NORTHEAST ZONES. MODELS ARE CONSISTENT ON DEVELOPING MORE STORMS ACROSS WEST TEXAS ALONG A FAST MOVING SHORT WAVE AND COLD FRONT LATE THIS AFTERNOON. AM A BIT CONCERNED THAT EXTENSIVE OVERNIGHT/MORNING CONVECTION MAY HINDER STORM DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...THE ATMOSPHERE MAY HAVE JUST ENOUGH TIME TO RECOVER BEFORE SURFACE HEATING IS LOST. STORMS SHOULD ORGANIZE ALONG THE COLD FRONT AND MOVE SOUTHEAST INTO NORTH TEXAS TONIGHT/TUESDAY MORNING. AGAIN...WILL KEEP THE HIGHEST POPS ACROSS THE NORTHERN ZONES. THE COLD FRONT IS PROGGED TO STALL ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE REGION TUESDAY NIGHT AND LIFT NORTH OF THE RED RIVER BY WEDNESDAY EVENING. AFTER WEDNESDAY...UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD FROM TEXAS...NORTHWARD THROUGH THE CENTRAL PLAINS. THIS PATTERN WILL RESULT IN HOT TEMPERATURES AND LITTLE RAIN CHANCES WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.
