NWS Fort Worth, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at May 26, 11:15 AM CST, 1 hour 35 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX 1215 PM CDT MON MAY 26 2014 .AVIATION... ANOTHER TOUGH FORECAST DAY...WITH MODELS NOT INITIALIZING WELL THIS MORNING. MOST OF THE GUIDANCE EITHER MISSED OR MISPLACED THE CONVECTION CURRENTLY OCCURRING NEAR KILLEEN. MORNING SOUNDING SHOWS A SEMI-TROPICAL KIND OF UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE IN PLACE. BUFKIT FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW NORTH TX BECOMING UNSTABLE AS EARLY AS CURRENTLY OR AS LATE AS THIS AFTERNOON AROUND 5 PM...SO CANNOT RULE OUT TSRA FOR THE METROPLEX AIRPORTS TODAY. GIVEN THE ONGOING MASS OF CONVECTION SOUTH OF THE AIRPORTS NOW BEGINNING TO EXPAND EASTWARD...TODAY LOOKS LIKE THE MAIN TSRA ACTION WILL BE IN CENTRAL TX. THOSE STORMS MAY DISRUPT THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TRANSPORT INTO NORTH TX AND METROPLEX COULD SEE NO TSRA THIS AFTERNOON EVEN THOUGH GUIDANCE SHOWS ENOUGH INSTABILITY FOR STORMS. 18Z TAFS CONTINUE TO HAVE LOW CONFIDENCE IN TIMING/COVERAGE OF AFTERNOON TSRA. OVERNIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING...AS UPPER LOW TRACKS INTO RED RIVER AREA AN MCS IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP OVERNIGHT AND TRACK INTO THE METROPLEX AREA NEAR SUNRISE. THIS WOULD LIKELY BRING HEAVY RAIN AND THUNDER IF THE MCS TRACK DOES INTERSECT THE AIRPORTS. AT THIS TIME WILL KEEP THE VCTS AND EXPECT TO REFINE THE TIMING BETTER THIS EVENING WITH THE 00Z MODEL RUNS. 84 && .UPDATE... QUICK UPDATE TO INCREASE POPS IN THE SOUTH TO ACCOUNT FOR THE ONGOING EASTWARD MOVING COMPLEX. THIS STORM COMPLEX WILL MOST LIKELY INTERFERE WITH STORM DEVELOPMENT FARTHER NORTH SO WILL KEEP ONLY LOW CHANCE POPS ELSEWHERE THIS AFTERNOON. IT STILL APPEARS THAT RAIN/STORM CHANCES WILL INCREASE OVERNIGHT/TUESDAY MORNING AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES EAST ACROSS THE REGION. OTHER THAN THE POP ADJUSTMENT...NO MAJOR CHANGES AT THIS TIME. 79 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 402 AM CDT MON MAY 26 2014/ WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATED THAT THE UPPER LEVEL LOW REMAINED OVER NORTH CENTRAL NEW MEXICO/SOUTH CENTRAL COLORADO AS OF 08Z /3 AM/. THIS SYSTEM WILL MOVE EAST TODAY. THERE IS DECENT AGREEMENT AMONG THE GFS...ECMWF...CMC AND NAM THAT THIS LOW WILL MOVE ACROSS THE TEXAS PANHANDLE TONIGHT AND INTO NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS BY TUESDAY NIGHT. THE MODELS START TO DIVERGE AFTER THE 48/60 HOUR FORECAST PERIOD WITH THE NAM SHIFTING THE SYSTEM QUICKLY EAST WHILE THE GFS MOVES THE LOW INTO SOUTHEAST TEXAS AND THE ECMWF AND CMC MOVE IT TO NEAR SHREVEPORT LOUISIANA BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE LOW SHOULD SINK SOUTH INTO THE GULF BY FRIDAY BUT AN INVERTED TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ACROSS TEXAS. AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVES INTO THE WEST COAST THIS WEEKEND...UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL OCCUR ACROSS WEST TEXAS. RAIN CHANCES WILL DECREASE OVER THE WEEKEND BUT THERE WILL BE LOW CHANCES ACROSS THE WEST WITH BETTER CHANCES /30 PERCENT POPS/ ACROSS THE EAST SATURDAY. SOME LOW CHANCES WILL REMAIN IN THE EAST FOR SUNDAY. A MCV /MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE VORTEX/ CAN BE SEEN ON RADAR BETWEEN BURNET AND LAMPASAS AS OF 08Z. THIS SYSTEM WILL MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS CENTRAL TEXAS BRINGING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH MID MORNING ACROSS PARTS OF CENTRAL TEXAS AND THE SOUTHEASTERN PART OF NORTH TEXAS. SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WILL ACCOMPANY SOME OF THE STORMS. A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST WITH STRONG GUSTY WINDS AND MAYBE SOME 1 INCH HAIL POSSIBLE. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE NEARLY 150 PERCENT OF NORMAL...AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN IS POSSIBLE. WE CONSIDERED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE NORTHWESTERN HALF OF NORTH TEXAS FOR TONIGHT...BUT HAVE DECIDED TO HOLD OFF FOR NOW. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MAY BE NEEDED FOR TUESDAY ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA. BESIDES THE THREAT OF HEAVY RAIN TUESDAY...THERE WILL BE A HIGHER CHANCE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS SHEAR AND INSTABILITIES INCREASE AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVES ACROSS THE REGION. DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE. THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AND HEAVY RAIN THREATS WILL SHIFT TO OUR SOUTHEAST WEDNESDAY AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES INTO FAR EAST OR SOUTHEAST TEXAS. A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH SATURDAY BUT SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.
