Fxus64 kfwd 222338 afdfwd area forecast discussion national weather service fort worth tx 638 pm cdt Wed may 22 2019 Aviation 00z tafs fair weather cumulus clouds will continue for a couple more hours as abundant moisture continues to stream northward, providing plenty of moisture for some storms across oklahoma. The gusty southerly winds that have been in place for much of the day are also expected to decrease shortly after sunset as the near-surface environment gradually decouples from the stronger winds aloft. The region is expected to remain precipitation free through the entirety of this forecast period as the driving force for storm initiation retreats back to the west. Overnight, expect to see a recurrence of MVFR at all TAF sites, beginning with kact at around 04z and continuing northward into the dallas fort worth metroplex by around 06z. A similar evolution is expected tomorrow compared to today with the MVFR deck increasing in height by late Thursday morning, leaving aVFR deck in place once again as northward moisture transport continues. Hernandez Short term issued 314 pm cdt Wed may 22 2019 through tonight one minute visible satellite imagery and radar data shows a weak convective attempt in northern jack county. The cumulus field is a little better developed across our northwest counties and this area is strongly unstable with MLCAPE around 3000 j kg. Aircraft sounding data indicates that there is still a fairly considerable amount of inhibition in place across north texas. This capping along with a general lack of stronger forcing for ascent or lack of any well defined surface focus, should keep any thunderstorms isolated at best in our area. A better coverage of storms is expected off to the northwest of our area and into southern oklahoma. We'll maintain some low pops through the early evening hours to account for this activity. Otherwise, low level moisture will remain in place through the overnight hours. We'll see a return to widespread low cloud cover late this evening. Southerly winds will remain gusty through the night and this combined with the cloud cover should result in warm overnight lows in the mid 70s. Dunn Long term issued 314 pm cdt Wed may 22 2019 Thursday through next week generally tranquil conditions are anticipated through most of the long term forecast period across most of north and central texas. There will be a very low rain storm risk across parts of the area, but at this time, it appears that most locations will remain rain storm free. Very warm and humid conditions are expected... Especially this weekend as a ridge temporarily builds westward. Early next week there will be a slight chance for a few showers and storms. Confidence in the specific details remain low at this juncture so pops are generally broad brushed in nature. Low level moisture will continue to stream northward across the south plains on Thursday in response to broad low pressure to the north. There will be another bout of low clouds and possible

drizzle fog on Thursday morning. At this time, forecast visibility are expected to remain high enough to preclude the explicit mention in the worded forecasts at this time. There does appear to be a ribbon of slightly more focused ascent north of the i-20 corridor on Thursday morning. Forecast soundings indicate that there will be a decent amount of dry air aloft, so it's probable that only a few sprinkles will be possible. Thursday will feature very mild conditions once low clouds thin in the afternoon. Some previous model guidance was much warmer on Thursday (and really through the rest of the outlook). The most recent suite of guidance appears much more reasonable with respect to high temperatures as very wet soils and higher atmospheric moisture content will more than likely keep temps in check. We should see temps climb into the mid to upper 80s across most of the area. Thursday night into Friday features very low (below 15%) rain chances across western north texas and into the big country. Isolated to widely scattered convection should fire along the dryline across the panhandle Thursday afternoon. Mid-level flow will take this convection eastward during the nighttime hours into early Friday. Corfidi vector magnitudes generally decrease with eastward extent across western north texas and given the increasing nocturnal inhibition... I'll leave any mention of storms out of the forecast across the area. There could be some waa streamer type activity across central texas on Friday morning, but the threat for widespread measurable rainfall appears low at this time. The day on Friday and into the weekend should feature a very similar pattern to Thursday with slightly moderating temperatures. The official forecast will remain rain-free as convection should initiate deeper into the panhandles each day in the weekend... Thereby increasing the travel time distance to north texas. We will monitor upstream convection daily to make any slight adjustments to the forecast which could feature an insertion of low rain storm chances... Mainly northwest of the d fw metroplex. High temperatures will climb to near 90 degrees areawide this weekend, with humid conditions (dewpoints in the 70s) and with the periphery of the mid-level high expanding to the west, rain chances will remain below 10%. Next week offers the next chance for rain and storms as the mid- level ridge retreats some to the east. Right now, there are discrepancies between the GFS and ECMWF between the placement of precipitation, so for now a 20 pop is advertised for most of the fa. Bain Preliminary point temps pops Dallas-ft.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
