Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fort Worth TX 757 PM CDT Tue May 31 2022 ...New Short Term, Aviation... .SHORT TERM... /NEW/ /Tonight and Wednesday/ Severe thunderstorms are ongoing along a late-season cold front, from the Texas Panhandle into western Oklahoma. The main storm motion remains to the east, but some southward propagation is possible this evening as a low-level jet ensues. It would still be a long journey to our northwest frontier, and convective-allowing models keep this activity to our northwest. The cirrus-level winds have more of a northerly component, which will allow the canopy to reach North Texas this evening. Although it is unlikely to result in convective activity within North Texas, the low-level jet will thrust another nocturnal stratocu deck across much of the region. A similar evolution of ceiling arrival and erosion is expected, with sufficient sunshine Wednesday afternoon to allow temperatures to reach the 90s across much of North and Central Texas. Some warm advection showers may approach the Brazos Valley, but this convective process will be more effective when aided by surface heating, with perhaps isolated/scattered cells across mainly East Texas during the afternoon hours. As the cold front approaches from the northwest Wednesday afternoon, renewed development along the boundary may invade the CWA before nightfall. More widespread activity should spread into North Texas Wednesday evening. 25 && .LONG TERM... /Issued 208 PM CDT Tue May 31 2022/ /Wednesday night through Tuesday/ The cold front sliding southward through Oklahoma will move into North Texas late Wednesday night, clearing our southern zones by midday Thursday. Aloft, an attendant shortwave should provide modest mid-level ascent and lapse rates across the region overnight Wednesday into Thursday morning. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms should develop along and ahead of the advancing cold front late Wednesday night, and have maintained high chance to likely PoPs for areas north of I-20 after midnight. Coverage elsewhere across the region will diminish somewhat by Thursday morning, but chance PoPs will be fairly widespread across the area through Thursday, trending highest in the south during the afternoon in proximity to the front. Don't expect widespread severe weather in association with this cold front, but a few storms may produce some strong gusty winds, and possibly some small hail late Wednesday night and Thursday. In the wake of the shortwave and attendant frontal passage, North Texas will at least temporarily find itself in a northwesterly upper level flow regime late this week into the weekend. This time of year, this frequently results in upstream convective development which inevitably works its way southeastward into our region. Model guidance is still a bit nebulous on scenarios for this, but it does appear that we'll have at least a couple of opportunities for convective development over Northwest Texas early Friday and again early Saturday. For now, have broadbrushed low end PoPs for most of the area Friday morning and again Saturday morning. Later runs may refine the evolution of these convective complexes to a point where higher PoPs will be required for portions of the forecast area during these periods. Chances for precipitation start to diminish by Sunday, as weak upper ridging redevelops over Northern Mexico and Texas, leaving our region in a more subsident regime through the early part of next week. Daytime highs will accordingly rise decisively from Sunday into Tuesday, compared with the relatively milder readings of Thursday through Saturday. We'll see highs approach and even exceed the century mark across the western third of our forecast area, with upper 90s elsewhere. Fortunately, dewpoints will remain in the 60s for the most part through Tuesday, resulting in afternoon heat indices which will approximate the ambient air temperatures. Thus, while it will certainly feel like early June, major heat problems are not anticipated at this time. Bradshaw && .AVIATION... /NEW/ /00Z TAFs/ MVFR stratus Wednesday morning. TSRA potential Wednesday evening. A similar low-level jet will surge an MVFR deck across all terminals before daybreak Wednesday morning. Ceilings below 2kft AGL are more likely in Central Texas, but the further moistening boundary layer may result in some post-sunrise ceilings as low as 1500ft at Metroplex terminals. The deck will slowly lift, equally difficult to scatter as it was Tuesday afternoon, though VFR will dominate the afternoon hours regardless. A cold front will approach late Wednesday. Although the wind shift is likely beyond the extended portion of the DFW TAF, TSRA in advance of the boundary may impact the Metroplex Wednesday evening. 25 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
