(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus64 kfwd 260852 afdfwd area forecast discussion national weather service fort worth tx 352 am cdt Mon aug 26 2019 Short term Today and tonight one more oppressively hot day is expected across the entire state of texas where actual air temperatures may top out as high as 115 degrees in the midland odessa area this afternoon. We won't be that hot here, but as the low level thermal ridge expands eastward this afternoon, we'll see 850 mb temps surge to near +30c across our western counties. Assuming a deeply mixed boundary layer, this should support surface temperatures in the 103-106 degree range across our western counties. We should see highs in the upper 90s to 103 degrees a little farther east. We'll also have to contend with an ample supply of low level moisture as dewpoints are in the low to mid 70s areawide this morning. These will likely mix down into upper 60s by afternoon resulting in heat indices of 107-112 degree during peak heating. The only saving grace will be a brisk southerly breeze feeding into an area of low pressure ahead of a cold front in the central plains. The 10-15 kt wind will help ease the intense solar load on human skin for those working outside, but it will still be quite hot and necessary precautions should be taken to stay cool. The current heat advisory will remain in effect for the entire area through this afternoon. Attention tonight turns to the aforementioned cold front in the central plains which will be driven southward by a strong upstream shortwave swinging through kansas and nebraska. Thunderstorms are expected to develop late this afternoon along the frontal boundary draped across kansas and northwest missouri. As 500 mb flow strengthens to 50-60 kt during the nighttime hours and low level inflow of 30-35 kt develops via a southern plains low level jet, the complex of thunderstorms is expected to strengthen and expand southwestward along the front into central oklahoma by late evening. A fairly well developed MCS should continue to move southeast into the ARKLATEX during the overnight hours into early Tuesday morning. There is a little uncertainty as to how intense the complex will be overnight tonight toward morning as low level inflow will veer and weaken, but there is pretty high confidence that the system will make it into north texas late tonight given ample moisture and instability present. Best chances for rain storms will be north of i-20 toward the red river and into our northeastern counties. We've raised pops late overnight into the 40-70% range for these areas. To the south of i-20, rain chances will remain slim overnight. At this time, the threat for severe weather is generally low given the expected weakening trend toward morning, but damaging wind gusts would be possible with any organized bowing line segments that linger. Overnight lows will drop into the lower 70s north of i-20 and remain in the mid upper 70s to the south. Dunn Long term Tuesday through next weekend after one of the hotter, if not the hottest days of the year today, the pattern changes quickly to a more wet and seasonal setup moving into the mid week period... Particularly for areas along and north of i-20. The expanding mid level ridge overhead is forecast to retreat back west in response to a strong mid level impulse tracking southward from the ozarks toward east texas and the lower mississippi valley on Tuesday. This disturbance will support a late summer surface cold front southward into the red river valley, and possibly toward i-20 later in the day depending on any assistance from a potential convective outflow and cold pool from morning thunderstorms. I expect the best coverage of a cluster of strong... Mostly elevated thunderstorms to be east of i-35w and north of i-20, as veered, low level inflow at 925mb of 20-25 knots feeds into and over the shallow frontal inversion across our far northern counties. More isolated-scattered storm coverage should occur further west toward northwest texas and our western counties Tuesday morning. With a hot and unstable airmass south-southwest of the cold front and any remnant storm outflow boundaries, storms will likely transition to becoming surface-based with gusty downbursts a potential as we progress toward the late morning into early afternoon hours. Despite high freezing levels, pockets of dry air within the mid level environment will support evaporative cooling and combine with steep mid level lapse rates for the production of at least smaller hail with more intense updrafts. In addition to the typical storm hazards, copious moisture will be pooling in the vicinity of the cold front with precipitable water values reaching or exceeding 2-2.25 inches. The multi-cellular, slow-moving nature of storms will likely result in localized torrential downpours and the potential for localized flooding or flash flooding... Particularly across our northeast counties on Tuesday. Recent dry weather for most locations will allow them to take on some water, though high rainfall rates will likely produce rapid run off and an isolated potential for flash flooding. |
The other quandary is how far southwest showers and storms, associated cloud cover, and storm outflows move southward and impact high temperatures. Given these uncertainties, we will not extend our current heat advisory into central texas for Tuesday just yet; nor will we be issuing any hydrologic watches across north texas regarding the potential for very heavy rainfall at this time. Look for some respite in thunderstorm coverage and intensity as we move into the afternoon and evening hours Tuesday. The first mid level impulse should be exiting our CWA to the southeast with a window of increasing subsidence, along with higher mid level heights across central texas. I cannot rule out widely scattered residual activity during MAX heating in vicinity of the stationary front or residual outflow boundaries, but for the most part, we will be in a relative "lull" with regard to convective activity. The "lull" doesn't lag long, however, as copious moisture pooling along the stationary front(where exactly that will be remains to be seen) will interact with the next mid level impulse approaching the area from the northwest later Tuesday night into Wednesday. Similar to Tuesday, southerly low level inflow near 20 knots early Wednesday morning will feed gulf moisture into and over the shallow frontal inversion and correlate with increasing mid level ascent for a second round of showers and storms after midnight through the mid-late morning hours Wednesday. Determining where the best coverage of thunderstorms and heavy rainfall will be dependent on where the low level boundary actually sets up and how far south the mid level impulse tracks. For now i'll play the odds of the more likely coverage of showers and thunderstorms remaining east of us 281 and mainly north of i-20, but this will need to be better resolved once our first system has come to pass and where all the low-level mesoscale features end up. Regardless, gusty winds, frequent lightning, small hail, and localized heavy rainfall and flooding will all be potential impacts once again as we move through the day Wednesday. We should see enough of a cold pool to push the diluted surface boundary into central texas Wednesday and Wednesday evening. With heights aloft slowly rising and residual subsidence countering strong heating in advance of our surface front, i'll only maintain low chances across the area, slightly higher across central texas near the old front. High temperatures Wednesday will be dependent on how convection evolves, then devolves later in the day. For now, I expect it to feel darn right "cool" across our northern CWA with highs 85 to 90 -- with warmer lower to middle 90s across central texas. The strong southwest us upper high expands back east across the state for the late week period, but is not expected to be overly strong. Afternoon high temperatures each day will reach into the the lower-mid 90s. I cannot rule out isolated showers or thunderstorms diurnally each afternoon, but for the most part the main storm track aloft will have retreated back north and northeast further away from north and central texas. A much weaker cold front looks to stall near or north of the red river valley the middle of next weekend. A mid level impulse will graze the area to our northeast, but the mid level anticyclone overhead appears to hold it's ground a bit more than what we'll see around mid week. I'll continue to carry some low coverage pops, especially north of i-20 with this in mind. Otherwise, look for mostly seasonal temperatures and with the isolated nature of rainfall, I see no need for folks to be changing any weekend plans at this point. 05 Aviation issued 1132 pm cdt Sun aug 25 2019 06z tafs no aviation weather concerns through Monday evening with only a few daytime CU and scattered high clouds. A south to southeast wind less than 12 knots overnight will increase between 12 and 16 knots during the day Monday along with some higher gusts. 79 Preliminary point temps pops Dallas-ft.
