Fxus64 kfwd 211111 afdfwd area forecast discussion national weather service fort worth tx 611 am cdt Wed aug 21 2019 Aviation 12z tafs concerns and challenges: none...VFR. I expect few-sct CU between fl070-090 by late morning and continuing into this evening. Any isolated TS or -shra to remain east of the airports once again through nightfall. South winds will remain 10 knots or less through the day, backing southeast briefly this evening. 05 Short term issued 309 am cdt Wed aug 21 2019 through tonight though I prefer not to say this, I have no choice but to say you can expect another hot and steamy day across north and central texas this afternoon. Though the upper high across the region weakens to 591 decameters, it also expands slightly. Temperatures will rise to around the century mark once again across especially those areas areas west of i-35 and along and north of i-20. Areas east of i-35 will not mix out their surface dew point temperatures quite as much with a little deeper low level moisture within the boundary layer. As such, we are continuing the heat advisory for areas along east of i-35 for this afternoon and early evening. In addition to the heat, forcing from a nebulous mid level impulse embedded within the eastern periphery of our upper high will work upon higher moisture content across east texas. Weak ascent from this feature will combine with diurnal heating today for a few pop up showers and tstorms once again across across our far E se counties. A few showers were already ongoing with this feature between emory and athens and will keep slight chances for a shower or two through mid morning. Otherwise, south-southeast winds to around 10 mph are expected for much of the area, though this won't do much to quell the effects from the continuing heat. By nightfall, a clear to partly forecast is expected with a continuation of very warm and humid nocturnal conditions. While lows in the mid-upper 70s will be the general rule across rural areas, typical "heat island" areas will see lows only fall to around 80 degrees. A weak and slow-moving cold front will be setting up across north-central oklahoma with a few storms popping up to our north. This activity is not expected to progress far enough south to affect the immediate red river valley later tonight. 05 Long term issued 309 am cdt Wed aug 21 2019

Thursday into next week the long-term forecast is characterized by occasional (but modest) chances for showers storms and near to slightly above normal temperatures. Any significant cooldown may be delayed until late next week -- just outside the range of this current forecast. In the meantime, our persistent mid-level ridge will continue to weaken overhead through the end of this week, thanks to the influence of a pair of weak shortwave troughs near the ok ks border. In turn, expect an increase in primarily diurnal activity Friday into Saturday, with the highest chances focused near the red river and across east texas. Highs will be slightly cooler as well, although any relief will likely be minor, at best. Expect most locations to still reach the mid to upper 90s. Unfortunately, temperatures look to rebound some Sunday into Monday, given the eastward departure of a broad trough and some re-establishment of anticyclonic flow aloft. Indeed, several locations may once again hit 100+ degrees on Monday. Additionally, building heights aloft should quell any deeper convective attempts, keeping conditions dry in most locales during the first half of the week. Deterministic and ensemble guidance continue to suggest a more substantive pattern shift across the central CONUS around the middle of next week, with the development of sharper cyclonic flow across the central northern plains. Within this regime, a surface front should be driven south towards north texas by next Wednesday or Thursday. However, significant differences exist in model solutions regarding the amplitude and timing of the mid-level systems that would drive this front south. For now, it appears at least some cooling trend should take shape by the middle end of next week, with increasing chances for showers and storms as this front crosses the region.

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.
