NWS Fort Worth, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 23, 5:55 PM CST, 1 hour 30 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fort Worth TX 655 PM CDT Sun Jun 23 2019 .AVIATION... The primary aviation weather concern will be timing convection this evening. The much awaited line of storms is taking shape to the west and northwest. These storms should continue tracking to the east and southeast and likely accelerate with the aid of convective outflows. Storms will likely approach the Metroplex TAF sites shortly after 01z with direct impacts between 02Z and 04Z. By 05Z, most of the storms should slide south of the I-20 corridor and begin impacting Waco for a few hours. By 09Z, storms should slide south of Waco with generally VFR ceilings expected through dawn. Models continue to suggest that some morning MVFR stratus will develop shortly after sunrise since moisture in the low levels never really scours out behind the main outflow boundary. These ceilings should lift and scatter during the early afternoon hours with generally VFR in the mid to late afternoon. There will be a chance for a few storms to develop Monday afternoon when a shortwave moves out of southwest Texas. However, it is unclear exactly where the outflow boundary will be at that time so will leave the mention of storms out for Monday afternoon /evening. A gusty south wind to start the TAF cycle will decrease just ahead of the approaching line of storms and cold front. The wind will likely turn to the northwest and increase with the passage of the line of storms, but quickly return to the south/southeast overnight/Monday. 79 && .SHORT TERM... /Issued 233 PM CDT Sun Jun 23 2019/ /Rest of the afternoon/ Scattered showers and storms will continue to develop across North and Central Texas through the afternoon ahead of a cold front. Although the 18Z FWD sounding indicated a weak cap in place just below 700 MB, this cap should continue to weaken through the afternoon as large scale lift increases ahead of an approaching upper trough. A very moist and unstable (4000 J/kg surface based CAPE) atmosphere remains in place, therefore, storms should rapidly increase in intensity ahead of the main line associated with the front. Damaging wind and hail will be the primary severe hazards associated with this initial activity. /Tonight/ Active weather is in store for North and Central Texas tonight due to the arrival of a cold front and the passage of an upper level trough. Storms will continue to develop along and ahead of the front through the evening. A very unstable atmosphere and increasing deep layer shear will result in a good potential for severe storms with the primary hazard being damaging winds. Some storms (especially discrete storms ahead of the main line) may also contain large hail. There will also be a potential for brief tornadoes in any bowing segments of the line as well as with any discrete storms late this afternoon/early this evening. Heavy rainfall and localized flash flooding will also be likely, however, the progressive nature of the front should keep the threat for widespread flash flooding low. The southward progression of the front will likely be aided by a well defined cold pool, pushing much of the activity south of the I-20 corridor late this evening and overnight. As the storms progress southward they should begin to weaken with decreasing large scale dynamics and increasing capping aloft. However, they will still be capable of producing heavy rainfall and gusty winds. The arrival of the cold front and widespread convection will result in cooler temperatures compared to the last several nights with lows ranging from the mid 60s in the north to the mid 70s in the south. 79 && .LONG TERM... /Issued 233 PM CDT Sun Jun 23 2019/ /Monday through Sunday/ Showers and thunderstorms will likely be ongoing across the southern half of the forecast area to start the day Monday. Since the upper trough axis will be in East Texas at sunrise and there is some question as to how far south the convectively influenced front will be, we will keep PoPs in the chance category. The good news is that the severe risk should be low, but there will still be a potential for some heavy rainfall. A secondary shortwave is progged to lift out of southwest Texas Monday afternoon and evening, possibly bringing additional showers and thunderstorms to the region. Since there are some uncertainties regarding how far south the front will move and how fast the atmosphere can recover, we will keep PoPs in the chance category with the highest percentage south of the I-20 corridor. It does appear as if the threat for severe storms Monday afternoon/evening will be much lower than tonight, but still non- zero. A somewhat quieter weather pattern will begin to take shape Tuesday with a building upper ridge across the Central and Southern High Plains. However, thunderstorms will likely develop on the eastern periphery of the ridge each afternoon. These storms will move through northerly flow aloft and make a run at North Texas each afternoon and evening Tuesday through Friday. The north and northeast zones will be the most likely to see these storms. Medium range models continue to show a weak low moving northward from the Gulf this weekend which will likely bring isolated to scattered convection to Central Texas and parts of North Texas mainly during the afternoon and early evening Saturday and Sunday. Temperatures through next week will be seasonably hot with highs in the lower and middle 90s and lows in the 70s. Overall, dewpoints should be a bit lower than they have been the past several days (mainly in the middle and upper 60s) which should keep afternoon heat index values generally below 100. 79 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Scattered thunderstorms are possible on Monday. A threat for strong storms and additional heavy rainfall could exist through the day. Low thunderstorm chances will continue Tuesday through Saturday, mostly during the afternoon and evening hours each day. The greatest chances will be along and east of I-35. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is likely north of the I-20 corridor through 10 PM with some spotter activation possible south of I-20 late this evening and overnight.
