Area forecast discussion

900 PM CDT Monday Oct 6 2008 


Discussion... 


WV imagery shows upper trough centered over northern Kansas and extending 
into central Texas...W/associated front/dryline from kdrt-ksps 
according to latest surface analysis. Latest radiosonde observation analysis from kshv 
shows air mass has destabilized quite a bit over the last 24hrs...W/sb 
convective available potential energy in excess of 2000j/kg. Wet-bulb zeroes are still a little 
high...which probably explains the dearth of hail reports over the 
last few hours. However...this should come down during the next few 
hours as trough axis approaches and lr/S increase in the middle/upper 
levels and further destabilization takes place. Can/T rule out an 
isolated tornado...as 0-1km shear/helicities remain marginally 
favorable...especially to the northwest. We/ll make only minor tweaks to 
1st period forecast...as grids cover all this reasonable well...and will 
update mainly to mesh west/current observations. Updates out shortly. 


&& 


Aviation... 


Thunderstorms and rain activity continues across the i30 corridor...txk has carried 
IFR conditions during rain activity but MVFR has prevailed. 
Elsewhere across the area VFR conditions have prevailed this 
evening. Thunderstorms and rain activity is expected to continue to spread into the 
southern half of the area during the overnight hours...thus tempo 
thunderstorms and rain will remain common in 06z tafs. For the most part MVFR to VFR 
conditions will prevail...but IFR when thunderstorms and rain move over terminals. /11/
