NWS Fort Worth, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 13, 5:51 PM CST, 39 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX 651 PM CDT SAT JUN 13 2015 .AVIATION... COVERAGE OF DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTION WILL BE ON THE INCREASE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS A BROAD UPPER TROUGH SLOWLY APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. ACTIVITY IN THE DALLAS AREA HAS REMAINED FAIRLY ISOLATED THIS AFTERNOON...AND SHOULD DIMINISH AS WE LOSE SURFACE HEATING OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. WE WILL KEEP VCSH IN THE DAL-DFW AREAS THROUGH 02Z DUE TO RADAR TRENDS AND THE PRESENCE OF MESOSCALE BOUNDARIES. WE WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS BETWEEN ABI AND SPS CURRENTLY MOVING EAST-SOUTHEAST. THE EXPECTATION IS THAT THESE STORMS WILL FALL APART AS THEY APPROACH THE METROPLEX. IF FUTURE TRENDS INDICATE THAT THIS ACTIVITY WILL HOLD TOGETHER LONGER THAN EXPECTED...WE WILL AMEND TO INCLUDE VCTS AROUND 14/03Z. IT APPEARS THAT ALL SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL REMAIN NORTH OF THE WACO AREA THIS EVENING. OVERNIGHT...MVFR STRATUS SHOULD SPREAD NORTHWARD OVER ALL AREAS AS A SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL JET AROUND 35 KT BECOMES ESTABLISHED. SURFACE HEATING AND BOUNDARY LAYER MIXING WILL ALLOW CLOUDS TO LIFT LATE SUNDAY MORNING. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP SUNDAY AFTERNOON...AND WE WILL INCLUDE VCTS AT ALL LOCATIONS BEGINNING 14/20Z. 30 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 327 PM CDT SAT JUN 13 2015/ SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO POP UP ACROSS NORTH TEXAS THROUGH THE HEAT OF THE AFTERNOON. LOCATIONS EAST OF THE INTERSTATE 35 CORRIDOR HAVE THE BEST AVAILABLE MOISTURE AND WILL SEE MOST OF THE ACTIVITY. UPDRAFTS IN THESE STORMS WILL BE BRIEF DUE TO WEAK WIND SHEAR...SO STORMS WILL HAVE A SHORT LIFE CYCLE. THERE WILL BE SOME POTENTIAL FOR WET MICROBURSTS...BUT TEMP/DEWPOINT SPREADS WILL BE SMALL AND THIS WILL KEEP DOWNBURST WINDS GENERALLY BELOW SEVERE LIMITS . A SECONDARY AREA THAT WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR STORMS THROUGH THE EVENING WILL BE THE NORTHWEST ZONES WHERE SOME WEAK SHORT WAVE ENERGY WILL RESIDE. THESE STORMS WILL HAVE MORE LONGEVITY AND A BETTER POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL. TEMP/DEWPOINT SPREADS IN THIS REGION ARE ALSO LARGER THROUGH THE WELL MIXED LAYER. THEREFORE...THE DOWNBURST WIND POTENTIAL WILL BE SLIGHTLY HIGHER. STORMS SHOULD DECREASE IN COVERAGE THIS EVENING WITH THE LOSS OF SURFACE HEATING. HOWEVER...ANOTHER COMPLEX OF STORMS IS LIKELY TO DEVELOP WEST OF THE REGION DUE TO A SHORT WAVE TROUGH OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST. THESE STORMS WILL MOVE EAST/NORTHEAST THROUGH LATE EVENING AND MAY AFFECT THE NORTHWEST ZONES OVERNIGHT/SUNDAY MORNING. A PIECE OF THE SHORT WAVE ENERGY WILL LIFT INTO OKLAHOMA ON SUNDAY BUT MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WILL REMAIN IN PLACE. THEREFORE... SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED SUNDAY AFTERNOON WITH THE BEST CHANCE EAST OF THE INTERSTATE 35 CORRIDOR. UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN ANCHORED ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK WHICH WILL KEEP A WEAK UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER NORTH TEXAS. ALL MODELS ARE NOW INDICATING A WEAK TROPICAL SYSTEM DEVELOPING IN THE GULF EARLY IN THE WEEK WITH NORTHWARD MOVEMENT ACROSS NORTH TEXAS TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. SINCE THERE IS FINALLY SOME MODEL CONSENSUS REGARDING THE DEVELOPMENT AND MOVEMENT OF THIS SYSTEM...WE HAVE DECIDED TO INCREASE POPS TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. IMPRESSIVE PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AROUND 2.5 INCHES ARE FORECAST WITH THIS SYSTEM. THEREFORE...IF THE SYSTEM DEVELOPS AS PROGGED IT COULD PRODUCE SOME HEAVY RAINFALL. PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL DECREASE THURSDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS THE TROPICAL LOW LIFTS NORTHEAST AND UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PLAINS. 79 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
