Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fort Worth TX 742 PM CDT Mon Jun 21 2021 ...New Short Term, Aviation... .SHORT TERM... /NEW/ /Through Tuesday/ The cold front continues to push southward across Central Texas this evening, with a few isolated thunderstorms developing just along the front. The severe weather threat should be short lived due to the lack of strong wind shear, but instability and steep lapse rates ahead of the boundary may support marginally severe hail or a few damaging wind gusts. Given the presence of high moisture content across Central Texas, we'll also have to keep an eye on pockets of heavier rainfall across parts of Central and East Texas this evening. Behind the cold front, breezy northerly winds and cooler temperatures for late June prevail this evening. Elevated showers and isolated thunderstorms across our far northwestern counties continue to slowly move southeastward, but have struggled over the past few hours. High res guidance does attempt to develop additional elevated showers later this evening as the 850mb front moves across the region, but severe weather is not anticipated. Otherwise, low temperatures tonight will fall into the upper 50s along the Red River to near 70 degrees across Central Texas. High temperatures on Tuesday will be about 10 degrees below-normal across North and Central Texas with highs in the 80s. Winds will gradually shift to the east by Tuesday afternoon generally around 10 mph. Garcia && .LONG TERM... /Issued 250 PM CDT Mon Jun 21 2021/ /Tuesday Night and Beyond/ The cool-down from today's front will be short-lived as an upper ridge will quickly build in from the west and remain planted overhead for the middle and latter part of the workweek. At the surface, return flow should begin by Tuesday night as the post- frontal surface ridge slides off to the east. The subsequent arrival of low level moisture will send dewpoints back into the lower and middle 70s by Wednesday. The ridge axis will be centered directly overhead both Thursday and Friday. High temperatures climbing into the mid and upper 90s, combined with the low level moisture in place, will yield heat indices well into triple digits for just about all of the region. Some locations will approach heat advisory criteria Thursday and Friday, and we will take a closer look at temperatures / apparent temperatures and contemplate an advisory as we get into Wednesday or Thursday. The ridge will flatten and weaken Friday night through the weekend as an upper trough deepens across the central part of the CONUS. This pattern shift will send another late season cold front southward into the Red River region by Saturday. Rain and thunderstorm chances will accompany the arrival of the front, with the best chances initially along the Red River Friday night/Saturday. The best rain chances should shift south through the rest of the region late Saturday and Sunday as the front slowly sags southward with time. The upper trough will shift slightly east into the Great Lakes region by the start of next week while an upper ridge dominates the western third of the CONUS. This pattern should allow a weak and diffuse frontal boundary to remain quasi-stationary somewhere across the forecast area, keeping low rain chances and seasonable temperatures going through the first half of next week. 30 && .AVIATION... /NEW/ /00Z TAFs/ A cold front continues to move across the region this evening, with isolated convection ongoing along the front. This convection may impact the Waco terminal over the next hour or so, but most activity has developed just to the south and east of the terminal. Northerly winds will prevail through the overnight period with wind speeds around 10-15 knots. Elevated showers northwest of the region have attempted to slowly move southeast toward the Metroplex terminals, but continue to slowly dissipate this evening. We'll keep a mention of VCSH through the evening hours, but this may be adjusted if trends continue to show a decrease in activity. MVFR ceilings will likely impact the Waco terminal overnight and dissipate by late Tuesday morning. Winds will gradually become easterly through the day tomorrow and southeasterly by tomorrow evening. VFR should prevail through the forecast period. Garcia && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
