Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fort Worth TX 304 AM CDT Fri Aug 14 2020

SHORT TERM. /Issued 1257 AM CDT Fri Aug 14 2020/ /Through Friday Night/

Dangerous heat is the main story through the short term forecast, although elevated fire danger and some low storm chances will also continue into the upcoming weekend.

Through the rest of the morning, we'll have to keep an eye on an area of possible convective development in eastern Oklahoma. Some ascent can be spotted on infrared satellite imagery as of 1 AM, and elevated convection could develop and spread southeast through the early morning hours, possibly affecting our northeastern zones. This would likely be in the form of a small convective complex by the time it reaches the ArkLaTex, which at a minimum could send an outflow into our forecast area. Low PoPs have been maintained roughly from Bonham down to Emory through mid-morning.

Following any possible morning convective activity, we'll be dealing with some exceptionally hot weather today and into Saturday, with highs today climbing into the 105-108 degree range for some areas west of I-35. These ambient temperatures warrant an Excessive Heat Warning, and this product's configuration is unchanged from previous forecasts with this update. The rest of the area remains under a Heat Advisory with temperatures up to 105 and/or heat index readings in the 105-108F range. Regardless of the product in effect, this will be some of the hottest weather we'll see the entire year, and heat safety should be taken seriously. This exceptionally hot spell will largely be due to southwesterly winds during the afternoon hours, which can easily add a few degrees to high temperatures due to compressional warming. The presence of a surface thermal low to our northwest will act as a positive feedback mechanism, with the low's circulation acting to veer winds more westerly, causing greater adiabatic warming, thereby enhancing the thermal low, and so on. In addition, the combination of very hot temperatures, low humidity, and a southwesterly breeze will mean yet another day of elevated fire conditions. Temperatures won't have much of an opportunity to cool off overnight, and lows in the upper 70s and low 80s will occur tonight into Saturday.

LONG TERM. /NEW/ /Saturday and Beyond/

A surface low will be positioned near Wichita Falls at the start of the period with a stationary front along the Red River. The resulting veered low level flow will provide added compressional heating to the already hot conditions resulting from the mid level ridge centered to our west. Triple digit high temperatures will occur just about everywhere across the CWA, the exception being Lamar County where recent rains have occurred. With higher dewpoints, however, heat indices will have no trouble exceeding 105 degrees in the northeast counties. The ongoing Excessive Heat Warning and Heat Advisory will remain unchanged for now, with the bottom line being that folks area-wide should be mindful of the dangerous heat and limit outdoor activities.

On Sunday, the ridge will retreat farther to the west while a shortwave trough drops southeast through the Southern Plains. This pattern shift will send a cold front south to the Red River on Sunday. The front should then make slow but steady progress southward through North and Central Texas Sunday night, bringing with it a chance of thunderstorms and welcomed relief from the scorching heat. POPs have been increased to the chance category for most locations as the operational GFS continues to aggressively develop convection, but will not go any higher at this time as not all guidance is sold on widespread precipitation. It’s possible that an MCS will develop, which would lead to significantly higher POPs being added somewhere in the CWA. This and other details will be ironed out as we trudge through the sweltering weekend.

Either way, the region will be greeted with near to slightly below normal temperatures for the first half of next week. Red-River counties will likely see overnight low temperatures in the upper 60s, with lower 70s likely elsewhere through at least the middle part of next week, while daytime highs stay generally in the lower to middle 90s.

AVIATION. /Issued 1257 AM CDT Fri Aug 14 2020/ /06z TAFs/

VFR will prevail through the period. Any potential convective activity over the next ~12 hours is expected to remain well northeast of the terminals. Outside of some passing high clouds, diurnal cumulus around 6-7 kft will be the extent of cloud cover. Winds will veer a bit more WSW this afternoon while increasing to 15-20 kts, but they'll return to the south this evening.
