556 PM CST THU NOV 5 2015
.AVIATION...
FOR THE 06/00Z TAFS...SCATTERED CONVECTION IS ALREADY MOVING NEWD
INTO E TX...INCLUDE KTYR AND KGGG...AHEAD OF A STRONG UPPER
TROUGH. THESE SHWRS/TSTMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHEAST AND WILL
LIKELY AFFECT KTXK AND POSSIBLY KSHV DURING THE FIRST FEW HRS OF
THE TAF PERIOD. ADDITIONAL STRONG CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED AHEAD
OF A COLD FRONT FARTHER TO THE NW ACROSS SE OK/N TX. THIS SECOND
ROUND OF SHWRS/TSTMS WILL MOVE INTO THE ARKLATEX LATER TONIGHT AND
SHOULD CONTINUE TO AFFECT MOST TAF SITES THROUGH MUCH OF THE
PERIOD AS THE FRONT BECOMES QUASI-STATIONARY ACROSS THE AREA.
VFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL AT MOST SITES BUT WILL DETERIORATE INTO
THE MVFR/IFR RANGE AS CONVECTION ARRIVES. LOCATIONS NOT AFFECTED
BY CONVECTION DURING THE OVERNIGHT HRS MAY BE IMPACTED BY LOW
STRATUS AND PATCHY FOG. /09/

DISCUSSION...
A VERY COMPLEX FORECAST THIS EVENING AFTER A DAY WITH NEAR RECORD
HIGH TEMPERATURES STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW HELPED TO MIX OUT BOUNDARY
LAYER MOISTURE...RESULTING IN LESS CLOUD COVER ESPECIALLY OVER OUR
ERN HALF. LOW TO MID 80S WERE COMMON HIGHS ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE
I-20 CORRIDOR OF NE TX/N LA. MORNING CONVECTION ALONG THE I-30
CORRIDOR DIMINISHED BY LATE MORNING INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON BUT
CLOUDS HAVE HELD MORE SOLID THAN AREAS FARTHER EAST. LOOKING AHEAD
THROUGH THIS EVENING...A DEVELOPING LINE OF SHWRS AND TSTMS HAS
BECOME MORE SOLID IN THE PAST FEW HOURS WITH SEVERAL SEVERE TSTMS
ACROSS CNTRL AND ERN OK AND NOW ADDITIONAL RAPID DEVELOPMENT OVER
N CNTRL TX. SOME OF THESE STORMS HAVE EXHIBITED SIGNS OF ROTATION
AND THUS A TORNADO WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR THE NRN THIRD OF OUR CWA
THROUGH 9PM THIS EVENING...BASICALLY ALL OF THE I-30 CORRIDOR OF
NE TX...SW AR AND MCCURTAIN CO IN SE OK. DESPITE RELATIVELY LOW
INSTABILITY...SHEAR VALUES BE INCREASING AHEAD OF AN UPPER TROF
SWINGING OUT OVER THE SRN PLAINS...TAKING ON A SLIGHTLY NEGATIVE
TILT. THEREFORE...TORNADO WATCH SEEMED REASONABLE GIVEN THESE
FACTORS BUT CERTAINLY THINK DAMAGING STRAIGHT-LINE WIND GUSTS WILL
BE A BIGGER THREAT IF WE CONTINUE TO SEE THE LINE OF TSTMS FURTHER
INTENSIFY AS IT MOVES EWD INTO OUR REGION.
THE OTHER CONCERN THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THIS EVENING IS THE
FLASH FLOOD THREAT OVER MUCH OF THE SAME AREA WHERE THE TORNADO
WATCH IS IN EFFECT. THE CURRENT FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN
EFFECT THROUGH MIDNIGHT TONIGHT WITH ADDITIONAL 2-3 INCHES OF
RAINFALL POSSIBLE ON TOP OF THE 1.1-5 INCHES ALREADY OBSERVED
EARLIER TODAY. BY FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY...THE HEAVY RAIN THREAT
WILL SHIFT FARTHER SE OVER NRN LA AS THE COLD FRONT MOVING IN
LATER TONIGHT STALLS OUT ALONG OR NEAR THE I-20 CORRIDOR.
DRIER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED BY SUNDAY AS THE FRONT FINALLY
SHIFTS SOUTH OF THE REGION. THIS DRY PATTERN WILL PREVAIL THROUGH
EARLY NEXT WEEK AS TEMPERATURES RETURN TO NEAR NORMAL. RAIN
CHANCES WILL RETURN TO THE FORECAST BY MID WEEK AS ANOTHER UPPER
TROF APPROACHES FROM THE WEST WITH INCREASING GULF AND PACIFIC
MOISTURE. /19/
