Fxus64 kfwd 150529 afdfwd area forecast discussion national weather service fort worth tx 1129 pm cst Wed nov 14 2018 Aviation 06z TAF cycle calm winds have prevailed as surface pressure gradient eases across north and central texas. Skies will remain clear through the night, with only a few passing clouds tomorrow afternoon. Winds are likely to regain a predominant directed out of the southwest later this morning, but still remain below 5 kts. As daytime mixing ensues, wind speeds will likely pick to around 10 kts in the afternoon, and a return of southerly winds is expected. Vfr conditions are expected through this TAF cycle. Hernandez Update issued 906 pm cst Wed nov 14 2018 radiational cooling is in full force with clear skies and light winds across the region. A few locations have already dipped into the upper 20s, and could still drop a few more degrees. The only changes made to the forecast were to adjust for ongoing trends, and decrease expected lows for some locations. All other weather elements are on track. Hernandez Short term issued 353 pm cst Wed nov 14 2018 tonight temperatures will fall quickly again tonight as winds slacken (and go nearly calm for a while) as high pressure begins to shift off to the south and east of the region. Southwesterly surface winds will return after midnight and will begin to transport some higher dewpoints into the region. This will keep temperatures from falling to the levels we saw earlier today, but most locales will fall below freezing outside of the metroplex and our southwestern counties. Some patchy frost will be possible as well. Carlaw Long term issued 353 pm cst Wed nov 14 2018 Thursday through next Wednesday our quiescent stretch of weather will continue through the end of the week and into Saturday as broad, low-amplitude cyclonic flow develops across most of the conus. A notable warming trend will occur during this period as southwesterly flow begins to deepen across north and central texas. Highs on Thursday will jump into the low to mid 60s west of i-35 (low-mid 50s will hang on across our far eastern counties), and then into the mid and upper 60s on Friday and Saturday (which is near-normal for this time of year). Our attention will then be turning to another cold front, which may be pushing into our far northwestern counties by early Saturday evening. This front should initially push into our forecast area without much in the way of precipitation, although some patchy drizzle may be possible across our northwest in the post-frontal airmass as the saturated layer increases past 850

mb. Thankfully, the airmass behind this next front doesn't look as cold as the front which roared through the region on Monday, and no sub-freezing temperatures are anticipated before precipitation chances come to an end. As this front continues to press eastward overnight Saturday and into Sunday, it will encounter somewhat greater low-level moisture. Moisture depth appears sufficient to warrant some 20-30% pops with cold frontal passage Saturday night, with somewhat higher values Sunday morning and afternoon east of i-35 as the front pushes through our area. Instability appears too low to warrant an inclusion of a thunder mention at this juncture. High temperatures on Sunday will be steady or slowly fall under the influence of low-level cold advection. Lows Sunday night and into Monday will range from the lower 40s across central texas to the lower 30s near the red river. While the surface front will make it all the way to the gulf on Monday, modest warm advection isentropic upglide will continue across our central texas counties where we'll hold onto some low (20%) pops. Some of this activity may attempt to build northward towards the i-20 corridor on Tuesday, but any coverage is expected to remain quite low at this time. The weather during the extended reaches of this forecast remains unclear, as the sensible weather impacts here will rely a great deal on what happens with digging shortwave energy across the pacific early next week. Every now and then, global guidance hints at the development of a substantial cutoff upper-low out near 150w on Tuesday, which ultimately slows the progression of another shortwave which will be drifting across the southwest us and into texas. The 12z GFS offered up one of these solutions. However, most guidance like the ECMWF and experimental fv3 have maintained more stable run-to-run consistency and maintain a faster overall progression. We've leaned more heavily on these quicker solutions, indicating increasing rain chances on Wednesday and Wednesday night as this system zips across texas. Cooler mid-level temperatures will result in steeper mid-level lapse rates and better available buoyancy to warrant an isolated thunder mention across the region during this timeframe.

It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. 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.
