AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX 250 PM CDT THU AUG 6 2015 .DISCUSSION... THE FULL INFLUENCE OF THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BE FELT ACROSS NORTH TEXAS THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AS THE CENTER OF THE HIGH MEANDERS AROUND THE REGION. THICKNESS VALUES ARE PROGGED NOT TO CHANGE MUCH THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK AND THIS WILL KEEP HIGH TEMPERATURES GENERALLY BETWEEN 100 AND 105. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL ALSO NOT VARY MUCH THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS DUE TO A PERSISTENT SURFACE TROUGH ACROSS THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS. AS A RESULT...AFTERNOON HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL REACH THE 105 T0 110 DEGREE RANGE IN MOST LOCATIONS. FOR NOW WE WILL LEAVE THE HEAT ADVISORY IN EFFECT THROUGH SUNDAY FOR ALL ZONES. WE WILL HOLD OFF ON EXPANDING IT THROUGH MONDAY PRIMARILY DUE TO AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. WHILE THE MODELS HAVE BEEN FAIRLY CONSISTENT ON KEEPING THE FRONT NORTH OF THE RED RIVER UNTIL TUESDAY...DEWPOINTS MAY FALL A BIT MORE ON MONDAY AFTERNOON IF SURFACE WINDS TURN TO THE SOUTHWEST IN RESPONSE TO THE APPROACHING FRONT. THE UPPER RIDGE WILL SHIFT TO THE WEST AND AMPLIFY MONDAY NIGHT/TUESDAY WHILE A TROUGH DEEPENS ACROSS THE EASTERN CONUS. THIS PATTERN WILL ALLOW THE COLD FRONT TO MOVE SOUTHWARD ACROSS NORTH TEXAS. ALTHOUGH THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT MAY BRING A FEW SHOWERS TO THE REGION...MOISTURE IS FORECAST TO REMAIN EXTREMELY LIMITED...SO WE WILL ONLY CARRY 10 PERCENT POPS TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THE COLD FRONT WILL BRING SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR. HOWEVER...WHAT WILL BE MORE NOTICEABLE WILL BE THE DRIER AIR WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR MORE RAPID RADIATIONAL COOLING AT NIGHT. THIS WILL RESULT IN OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE 70S WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. LOOKING AHEAD TO THE MIDDLE OF AUGUST...THE PATTERN IS FORCAST TO REMAIN VERY AMPLIFIED WITH A RIDGE FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS TO THE WEST COAST AND A DEEP TROUGH GENERALLY EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI. WHILE THIS PATTERN SHOULD KEEP NORTH TEXAS HOT AND RAIN FREE. TEMPERATURES SHOULD NOT GET TOO OUT OF HAND SINCE THE CENTER OF THE RIDGE SHOULD REMAIN WELL TO THE WEST OF THE REGION. 79 && .AVIATION... /ISSUED 630 AM CDT THU AUG 6 2015/ REGIONAL TAF SITES WILL REMAIN VFR THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. HOWEVER...THERE WILL BE FEW-SCT DAYTIME CUMULUS AND SOME MID TO HIGH CLOUDS AT TIMES. WE DO NOT FEEL SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL BE TO PROBLEMATIC DURING THIS TAF CYCLE...HOWEVER THEY WILL UNDERGO DIURNAL VARIATION. CURRENT LOW LEVEL JET OF 22035KTS AT 2-3 KFT AGL WILL CAUSE MORNING WINDS TO VEER AND WILL LIKELY PRODUCE 15-22 KNOT GUSTS. EXPECT THE WINDS TO STABILIZE AROUND 18013KT DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS...THEN UNDERGO ANOTHER DIURNAL SWING LATE TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING. MVFR CIGS OCCURRING SOUTH THROUGH SOUTHEAST OF KACT ARE NOT EXPECT TO SPREAD OVER THE AIRPORT AT THIS TIME. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR AND AMEND THE TAF IF THEY POSE A THREAT. 75 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... DALLAS-FT.
