NWS Fort Worth, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 29, 5:48 PM CST, 42 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX 648 PM CDT MON JUN 29 2015 .AVIATION... FOR THE 00Z TAFS...VFR CONDITIONS AND SOUTHERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED FOR ALL TAF SITES FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES ARE THE PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS EACH DAY. THROUGH THIS EVENING...THINK THAT THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL TEND TO REMAIN IN BETWEEN THE DFW AND WACO AREAS...REMAINING SLIGHTLY CLOSER TO WACO. KEPT VCTS IN THE WACO TAF THROUGH 01Z BECAUSE ANVIL CLOUDS FROM THE CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ALONG THE BOSQUE AND HAMILTON COUNTY BORDER CONTINUE TO BUILD OVER THE AIRPORT. IT IS POSSIBLE FOR AN ISOLATED LIGHTNING STRIKE OR TWO TO DISCHARGE NEAR THE AIRPORT...SO WILL CONTINUE TO CARRY THE VCTS MENTION PRIMARILY AS A LIGHTNING ONLY THREAT. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS NOT EXPECTED TO DIRECTLY IMPACT THE DFW AREA...SO KEPT A MENTION OF PRECIPITATION OUT OF THE DFW AREA TAFS. EXPECT THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TO DIMINISH ACROSS THE REGION AFTER SUNSET AS THESE STORMS ARE NOT ORGANIZED AND DO NOT APPEAR TO BE TIED TO A FRONT OR STRONG LIFT ALOFT. THUNDERSTORMS ARE LESS LIKELY ACROSS THE REGION TOMORROW AS WEAK UPPER LEVEL RIDGING SHOULD PROVIDE ENOUGH SUBSIDENCE TO PREVENT STORMS FROM DEVELOPING. CAVANAUGH && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 322 PM CDT MON JUN 29 2015/ NORTH TEXAS REMAINS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF NORTHERLY FLOW ALOFT JUST TO THE EAST OF A LARGE RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN U.S. THIS IS HELPING TO KEEP TEMPERATURES NEAR NORMAL ALTHOUGH IT IS QUITE MUGGY ACROSS THE REGION. A SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH THE SOUTHERN PLAINS IS PROVIDING SOME WEAK ASCENT INTO NORTH TEXAS THIS AFTERNOON AND SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS PARTS OF THE AREA. A DIFFUSE FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINS ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA AS WELL THIS AFTERNOON AND MAY BE A FOCUS FOR A FEW THUNDERSTORMS. THESE COULD APPROACH THE RED RIVER COUNTIES BY EARLY EVENING. COVERAGE SHOULD REMAIN SCATTERED THROUGH THE EVENING WITH MOST ACTIVITY DIMINISHING BY SUNSET. MODERATE INSTABILITY WITH OVERALL WEAK SHEAR WILL SUPPORT AN ISOLATED STRONG STORM OR TWO WITH A MARGINAL WIND THREAT. THE UPPER PATTERN REALLY CHANGES LITTLE THROUGH THE WEEK WITH THE STRONG RIDGING OVER THE WESTERN U.S. AND NORTH TEXAS REMAINING IN NORTHERLY FLOW ALOFT. IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY STRONG FORCING MECHANISM EITHER FOR LIFT OR SUBSIDENCE...THINK AT LEAST ISOLATED SHOWERS AND A FEW STORMS COULD DEVELOP ACROSS PARTS OF THE AREA EACH AFTERNOON. THROUGH THE WEEK...THIS SHOULD PRIMARILY BE ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN AND EASTERN COUNTIES SO WILL MAINTAIN SOME LOW POPS IN THESE AREAS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR NORMAL THROUGH THE WEEK ALTHOUGH HIGH HUMIDITY WILL KEEP HEAT INDICES IN THE 100-102 RANGE DURING THE MID/LATE AFTERNOON. AS WE APPROACH NEXT WEEKEND...THERE IS SOME INDICATION THAT A STRONGER SHORTWAVE WILL APPROACH THE AREA. THE CANADIAN CONTINUES TO BE THE MOST AGGRESSIVE AND FARTHEST SOUTH WITH THIS FEATURE...INDICATING A GOOD CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. MOST OF THE OTHER GUIDANCE IS NOT AS FAR SOUTH...KEEPING THE BULK OF THE RAIN FARTHER NORTH FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY. AT THIS TIME...WILL HAVE SOME 20-30 PERCENT POPS MAINLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CWA FOR FRI/SAT BUT MAY NEED TO BUMP THESE UP IF IT APPEARS THAT THE DISTURBANCE WILL COME FARTHER SOUTH. EITHER WAY...THINK ITS PROBABLY A GOOD BET THAT SOME LINGERING COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL MAKE A RUN AT NORTH TEXAS DURING THIS TIME. DUNN && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... DALLAS-FT.
