Area forecast discussion 
National Weather Service Fort Worth Texas 
550 am CDT Wednesday may 22 2013 


Aviation... 
patchy fog has formed near the back edge of the exiting stratus 
deck over eastern North Texas. The 11-3.9 micron Sat imagery 
indicates that the fog is attempting to work slowly west...so 
there is still some concern that the metropolitan-area terminals may 
experience a brief period of reduced visibilities between now and 
15z. It is currently VFR...but will maintain a MVFR visibility 
forecast through 15z at Dal and dfw based mainly on satellite 
trends. Meanwhile Waco has already been waffling between 4sm and 
a quarter of a mile over the past few hours...so will likely 
continue with a tempo 1/2sm for another couple of hours in the 
kact taf. Otherwise light winds should pick up out of the 
southeast at 5-10 kts with improving visibilities later this 
morning.

Previous discussion... /issued 302 am CDT Wednesday may 22 2013/ 
skies have cleared over most of the area and now fog is forming 
along and east of I-35. A few areas will see dense fog...and it 
should burn off by middle morning. As the storm system moves 
east...a weak upper ridge will push into Texas Thursday morning 
located from The Big Bend north into the Dakotas. The ridge slides 
east over our area by Friday morning...and aided by an upper 
disturbance convection forming along the dry line Thursday 
afternoon should advect east into the area. I have kept low probability of precipitation 
for the northwest Thursday night and across the northern half of 
North Texas Friday into Friday night. A lot of the convective 
extent depends on just how strong of a short wave will actually 
support the event. 


Southwest flow aloft returns Saturday through much of next 
week...and although the GFS develops spotty precipitation most 
days...the probability of precipitation are quite low and the European model (ecmwf) seems drier. Have gone 
with the drier solution...although if later runs become wetter 
probability of precipitation will have to increase. 


Temperatures will be near normal for this time of year...with the 
flow turning back to the south Thursday and humidity increasing as 
well. After the last week/S events...all in all a fairly Boring 
forecast. 84
