AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX 223 PM CDT MON JUN 2 2014 .DISCUSSION... AN UPPER RIDGE CURRENTLY DOMINATING NORTHERN MEXICO WILL NOSE ITS WAY EASTWARD INTO NORTH AND CENTRAL TEXAS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...BRINGING WARM WEATHER AND LITTLE IN THE WAY OF RAIN CHANCES THIS WEEK. THE WARMEST TEMPERATURES SHOULD OCCUR WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE HIGHEST HEIGHT FIELDS...AND A FEW OF OUR WESTERN COUNTIES MAY REACH TRIPLE DIGITS. THE REST OF THE REGION SHOULD SEE HIGHS IN THE 90S ALL WEEK WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOME UPPER 80S ACROSS NORTHEASTERN LOCALES. OTHERWISE MORNING STRATUS GIVING WAY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES IN THE AFTERNOONS WILL BE THE NORM DURING THE WORK WEEK. NORTH OF THE REGION...A MEANDERING FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL PROVIDE FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THE NEXT SEVERAL AFTERNOONS. AT TIMES THESE STORMS WILL BECOME ORGANIZED AND ADVANCE SOUTHEAST AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE...POSSIBLY SKIRTING THE RED RIVER BEFORE DECAYING DURING THE MORNING HOURS. SOME OF THE LATEST GUIDANCE INDICATES THIS POSSIBILITY AS EARLY AS WEDNESDAY NIGHT/THURSDAY MORNING...BUT FOR NOW WE ARE THINKING THAT LARGE SCALE SUBSIDENCE FROM THE RIDGE WOULD LIKELY KEEP STORMS AT BAY DURING THAT TIME PERIOD. BY LATE THURSDAY A SLIGHT WEAKNESS IN THE RIDGE IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP...WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR SOME LOW-END THUNDERSTORM CHANCES ACROSS COUNTIES ADJACENT TO THE RED RIVER DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. BY SUNDAY...THE RIDGE WILL FLATTEN AS AN UPPER TROUGH TRANSLATES THE CENTRAL CONUS. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE REGION AS THE TROUGH SHIFTS EAST OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS. LATEST INDICATIONS ARE THAT THE FRONT WILL SINK SOUTH OF THE RED RIVER LATE SUNDAY...THEN THROUGH THE REST OF THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY. MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT WHEN COMBINED WITH FORCING ALONG THE FRONT FOR AT LEAST A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AREA-WIDE SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY. WE WILL KEEP POPS ON THE CONSERVATIVE SIDE FOR NOW AND SEE HOW RUN TO RUN MODEL CONSISTENCY BEHAVES. A BRIEF BOUT OF BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES CAN BE EXPECTED MONDAY BEHIND THE FRONT WITH A RETURN TO NEAR-NORMAL TEMPS BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. 30 && .AVIATION... /ISSUED 1232 PM CDT MON JUN 2 2014/ /18Z TAFS/ GRAVITY WAVE THAT DEVELOPED FROM A DYING MCS ACROSS OKLAHOMA AND THAT PRODUCE ISOLATED -SHRA/-TSRA EARLIER THIS MORNING APPEARS TO HAVE WEAKENED SOMEWHAT LATE THIS MORNING WITH MIXING AND SHOULD REMAIN WEST OF THE AIRPORTS. WE MAY CONTINUE TO SEE VCSH CONDITIONS THROUGH 20Z OR UNTIL MIXING DEEPENS. STRENGTHENING UPPER HIGH THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY AND THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING SHOULD INHIBIT ANY RECURRENCE OF SUCH ACTIVITY EARLY TUESDAY. OTHERWISE...VFR CIGS SHOULD CONTINUE TO SCATTER PER AFOREMENTIONED MIXING AND WITH INCREASED DAYTIME HEATING WITH SE WINDS 10-15 KTS AND OCCASIONALLY GUSTY. MVFR CIGS WILL RETURN DURING THE PREDAWN HOURS TUESDAY WITH WACO POTENTIALLY SEEING A BRIEF WINDOW FOR IFR CIGS AROUND SUNRISE. STRONGER RIDGING AND SUBSIDENCE ALOFT SHOULD ALLOW FOR A SLIGHTLY FASTER IMPROVEMENT ON CIGS BY MID-LATE MORNING TUESDAY. 05/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... DALLAS-FT.
