Fxus64 kfwd 202321 afdfwd area forecast discussion national weather service fort worth tx 621 pm cdt Tue aug 20 2019 Aviation 00z tafs there are little operational concerns with this evening's taf package. The only forecast challenge is the development of gulf stratus across central texas creeping into the kact terminal in the early morning hours. There is a 20% chance of MVFR ceilings moving over the terminal between 12-15z, however, the current thinking is the ceilings should remain south west of kact. Otherwise, a typical diurnal wind cycle is expected with south- southeast winds in the afternoon and south-southwest winds developing near sunrise. Bonnette Short term issued 238 pm cdt Tue aug 20 2019 through tonight hot and humid conditions persist across central and north texas this afternoon. Many locations are experiencing heat index values between 105 degrees and 108 degrees. The heat advisory will remain in effect until 7pm this evening. Outside of the heat, an area of showers and thunderstorms is occurring across southeast texas this afternoon. Some of this activity may sneak into our east and southeast through 00z and will keep a 20 pop for these locations. If thunderstorms do develop, then moderate heavy downpours, brief gusty winds, and cloud to ground lightning will be the main threats. Convection should diminish later this evening with the loss daytime heating. Otherwise, warm and muggy conditions will continue tonight. Overnight lows will be in the middle to upper 70s across much of the area with low 80s in the metroplex. Tb Long term issued 238 pm cdt Tue aug 20 2019 Wednesday onward the stout upper-level ridge responsible for hot and rain-free weather looks to stick around for another couple of days, leading to more of the same through Thursday. Highs each day will be near 100 f (give or take a few degrees, depending on where you are located in our county warning area). Maximum heat index values will be a bit marginal tomorrow in terms of heat advisory criteria, but seeing as an advisory is already out through Wednesday, might as well let it ride since (1) it will be close enough, and (2) even if we are not explicitly at above criteria, it will be plenty hot. The night shift may opt to drop the heat advisory, but regardless, all the usual precautions to avoid heat-related illness will need to be taken. Late this week and into the weekend, the upper-level ridge may loosen its grip on north and central texas a bit as the ridge

shifts to the west. The reduced subsidence may allow for some diurnally-driven showers and thunderstorms to develop each day Friday through Sunday, mainly over our southern and eastern counties where the subsidence will be the weakest, and moisture will be the highest. There could be some additional enhancement to shower and thunderstorm chances as some weak, transient upper- level shortwave troughs propagate across oklahoma and kansas. Right now, it does not look like we are looking at much in the way of widespread, wetting rains, but there appears to be enough there to justify at least slight chance to chance pops for portions of the county warning area through the weekend. Some people will see perhaps a few tenths of an inch of rain. A few lucky individuals may pick up a half-inch or more. But for most of us, we will stay hot and dry, longing for the relief of a late-summer downpour. The upper-level pattern with the ridge centered over the desert southwest looks to continue into next week, with perhaps an increase in tropical moisture towards the middle of the week. There has been little run-to-run consistency regarding precipitation coverage during this time period, so kept pops in the slight chance to chance range areawide. As for your extended outlook, some members of the GFS ensemble forecast system (gefs) continue to hint at some sort of cold front towards the end of next week (august 30 - september 1). Details are obviously very uncertain right now, but this signal has appeared in several consecutive runs of the gefs, and in fact, cpc is indicating a slightly increased probability of below normal temperatures and above normal precipitation during this time period. Doubtful it'll be time to break out the pumpkin spice, but perhaps we might manage to get some reasonable temperatures (highs only in the upper 80s?) in time for labor day weekend. We shall see. 37 Preliminary point temps pops Dallas-ft.

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. 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.
