Fxus64 kfwd 171129 afdfwd area forecast discussion national weather service fort worth tx 629 am cdt Sat aug 17 2019 Aviation 12z tafs no major aviation concerns are anticipated during this TAF period. Southerly flow andVFR conditions will persist today. By mid late afternoon and especially this evening, strengthening low-level flow and residual boundary-layer mixing should yield an uptick in wind speeds (around 15 kt sustained with a few gusts up to 20-22 kt). Occasional gustiness may continue through the overnight as well. As for cloud cover, MVFR CIGS should remain southeast of kact this morning. Across the region, fair-weather cumulus are expected to develop through the day, with bases around 070. Any regional convection this evening should remain displaced well to the west and north of metroplex airports. Otherwise, the only potential concern is a re-invigoration of low-level stratus across central texas late tonight. Strengthening flow should transport these clouds northward towards kact, but confidence in MVFR cigs developing before 12z Sunday is low; therefore, the TAF only advertises sct015 through 12z. Additionally, this cloud deck may try to approach the metroplex Sunday morning (during kdfw's 30-hour extended taf). At this time, low-level flow should keep any MVFR CIGS southeast of the metroplex, but this will have to be monitored closely. Picca Short term issued 308 am cdt Sat aug 17 2019 through tonight rather impressive zonal mid-level flow (at least by august standards) is maintaining a tight low-level pressure gradient across the southern plains currently, with recent VWP data suggesting 925mb flow from the south around 30-35 kt. In turn, gulf moisture continues to stream north across our area. Thus, while afternoon mixing should be relatively deep, our low-level moisture should be of sufficient depth to maintain surface dew points in the 60s to lower 70s in most spots around peak heating. With temperatures rising into the upper 90s to lower 100s, this moisture profile should yield heat indices around 105-108 in many locations. Therefore, have opted to issue a heat advisory for today (as well as tomorrow -- see the long-term discussion for more details). Besides the heat, there's a slim chance for a shower or two across east texas this afternoon, where the deepest moisture will reside. However, given a lack of any clear forcing for ascent and persistent dry air in the mid levels, refrained from introducing any convection to the forecast at this time. Picca

Long term issued 308 am cdt Sat aug 17 2019 Sunday through next weekend a mid upper ridge will strengthen while expanding north into the plains on Sunday, then remain dominant across the central part of the CONUS through the first part of next week. Triple digit high temperatures will be common at least through Monday. In addition, persistent southerly winds will continue to bring gulf moisture northward across the region, preventing any significant diurnal drop in the dewpoint temperature. The resulting heat indices will be widespread in the 105 to 110 range each afternoon, and barring any unforeseen circumstances the heat advisory will likely need to be extended into Monday at some point this weekend. A brief opportunity for relief will occur Tuesday as a subtle weakness develops over the southern edge of the ridge. A strong seabreeze is progged to push inland Tuesday afternoon, and slight chance pops have hence been added across the southeastern-most row of counties. The rest of the region will remain hot and rain-free, though perhaps a couple of degrees cooler than Sunday Monday. The latest guidance continues to indicate a break-down of the ridging over the plains during the second half of next week as the ridge center shifts westward into the rockies. A shortwave embedded in the subsequent northwest flow aloft should kick off a round of convection north of the region Wednesday afternoon. Showers and storms will likely move southeast, some of which may cross the red river Wednesday evening. Low-end pops have hence been included for areas north of the i-20 corridor Wednesday night, then to areas along and east of i-35 on Thursday as the disturbance continues to move southeast. A second shortwave will generate another round of showers and storms by Friday, but at this time it looks like the disturbance and associated convection will remain north of the region. Near-normal temperatures and little to no rain chances will therefore be the official forecast as we enter next weekend. 30 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.
