.SHORT TERM...
/Rest of Today and Tonight/
Early afternoon visible satellite imagery reveals pockets of
agitated cumulus and some showers/isolated storms mainly across
our southeastern counties where moisture is maximized. PWATs
steadily fall off the farther west you go across our forecast
area, and the relatively flat Cu field visually supports this.
We'll keep a 10% mention of isolated storms going west of I-35
through sunset, with 20-40% PoPs to the east, highest from near
I-45 up to I-20/30 into the evening hours. With large-scale ascent
all but nonexistent today, any storms will be tied to the more
vigorous PBL circulations with peak heating, or along outflow from
storms across East Texas. Most storms will just produce a quick
downpour and briefly cool things off, but the strongest storms
will be capable of producing some strong gusty winds as their
cores collapse.
Convection will begin to dwindle around sunset with the loss of
daytime heating, with precip-free conditions expected across the
region late this evening. Thunderstorms currently developing
across the Texas Panhandle will gradually track southeastward into
the Rolling Plains and may hold together long enough to bring
some shower and thunderstorm chances to our northwestern counties
around midnight. Increasing inhibition and veering 925-850 mb flow
will not favor convective sustenance, and all indications point
to a pretty quick downtrend in convective vigor as any remnant
activity marches eastward. As a result, we've confined overnight
PoPs back west of I-35 and mainly north of I-20 and kep them at
20% or less. Some gusty outflow winds will be possible, but severe
weather is not expected.

.LONG TERM...
/This Week Into Early Next Weekend/
A shortwave disturbance aloft currently moving out of New Mexico
and across the South High Plains and Texas/Oklahoma Panhandles
will arrive across Western North Texas by sunrise, then southeast
across the entire area during the day. During the morning hours
Monday, the atmosphere will be relatively inhibited with just a
few showers possible across the northern CWA. By afternoon, I will
carry low convective chances across the far eastern counties. This
area will be within the area of richer PWAT values between 1.5-2
inches, while more drier air aloft and within the convective
850-700mb will be situated further west, which will likely help to
keep the rest of area mostly convection-free through the day. In
addition, some subsidence will occur in behind the shortwave as it
approaches the southeast counties during peak heating Monday
afternoon. I will hold onto less than 20 percent chances across
the far eastern counties through early Monday evening and sunset,
at which time loss of heating should result in a dissipation of
any lingering showers and storms.
Moving into Tuesday, the center of the upper high looks to reform
across the Southern Rockies and across Oklahoma and North Texas.
Meanwhile, a more sustained mid level weakness will evolve across
the Gulf Coast and west across South/Southeast Texas. This pattern
shift will allow the tropical easterlies to shift further northward
which is pretty common for this time of the year. Periodic and
subtle shortwave disturbances rotating along the southern periphery
of the upper high anchored north of the Red River Valley will
allow for the occasional seabreeze development each day. Mainly
diurnal late afternoon and evening isolated showers and storms
are possible the latter half of the week across our far southeast
counties.
The strength and eastward extent of the upper high becomes
uncertain due to inconsistencies within the medium range models
that any tropical development across the Gulf of Mexico by next
weekend must be taken with a serious grain of salt, especially
since we're looking at 7-9 days out here. One thing is for certain
is confidence is very low at this time w/regard to any tropical
development, tracking, and potential in the 7-10 day period. One
must be careful not to just lock onto one particular model or
solution this far out, even if they show a possible intensifying
tropical storm. Warm core system are very tricky and do not act
like cold core, extratropical systems with regard to steering
currents, etc. Best advice is to follow our experts at the
National Hurricane Center(NHC)regarding anything across the Gulf
region.
Otherwise, more heat and humidity will be around each day and
night, as a more typical summertime longwave pattern begins to
set in. Temperatures will be a little above normal and mostly in
the lower-mid 90s, except a few reading in the upper 90s out west,
but nothing extremely hot. Occasionally gusty south-southeast
winds, especially during the daytime hours will keep heat index
values in check and below advisory conditions. However, the usual
outdoor rules will apply if you plan on being outside for long
periods of time during the times of max heating in the afternoon
and early evening hours each day.

.AVIATION... /Issued 1235 PM CDT Sun Jun 10 2018/
/18z TAFs/
VFR Cu will continue to bubble with daytime heating with bases
steadily rising to around FL050-060 later this afternoon. While a
pop-up shower/storm will be possible pretty much anywhere across
North and Central Texas, the main signal is east of I-35 within
a zone of higher moisture and reduced mid-level heights. As a
result, convective chances remain too low to warrant an inclusion
in the TAFs, but we'll closely monitor cloud and radar trends this
afternoon, especially at Waco where the Cu field has become a bit
more agitated recently. Otherwise, south to southeast winds around
15 kts with some gusts to 20 kts will persist through the TAF
period.
Any activity should begin to diminish around sunset, but we'll
turn our attention to the west. A convective complex is expected
to be moving into the Texas Rolling Plains, but should be
weakening as storm-relative flow diminishes in response to the
veering low-level jet and as it encounters increased inhibition.
We'll maintain precip-free TAFs for the time being. At Waco, MVFR
cigs may once again build northward, but the signal for widespread
low clouds isn't as robust as it was this morning, so have
contained any cigs within a TEMPO group.
Any remnant outflow(s) from the decaying overnight activity may
serve as a focus for renewed development Monday afternoon, but
confidence in placing these features is simply too low for any
precip mention in the DFW extended TAF.
