164 FXUS64 KFWD 110625 AFDFWD Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fort Worth TX 125 AM CDT Mon May 11 2026 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, AVIATION, SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... .KEY MESSAGES... - This morning`s lingering showers and storms will continue shifting east through the rest of today. A few isolated non- severe storms may develop across East Texas this afternoon. - A quiet weather pattern is expected through much of the week with highs returning to the upper 80s and lower 90s. && .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 121 AM CDT Mon May 11 2026 The cold front responsible for yesterday`s severe weather across parts of North and Central Texas has pushed south of our region. As of 1 am Monday, widespread precipitation continues across eastern portions of Central Texas. As we continue through the morning hours, expect the widespread precipitation to push away from our region. The shortwave responsible for today`s active weather is now centered over Lubbock, moving to the east/southeast. Given this shortwave is still to our west, a few additional showers and isolated storms may develop this afternoon east of I-35 where weak mid-level forcing for ascent will still be present. This afternoon`s thunderstorm activity will remain sub-severe with lightning and gusty winds the main threats. All precipitation will move east of North and Central Texas this evening, leaving behind precipitation-free conditions through the night. Expected mostly clear skies with light winds and lows in the mid 50s to lower 60s. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday through Sunday) Issued at 121 AM CDT Mon May 11 2026 A quiet and warming pattern is expected through much of the week as weak ridging builds over Texas. Highs will return to the upper 80s and lower 90s by mid-week, with humidity gradually increasing as southerly flow returns. Despite the moisture return, meaningful lift will remain limited, keeping rain chances low through late week. Low-end storm chances may return next weekend as moisture deepens and weak disturbances approach, but confidence in timing and coverage remains low. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 121 AM CDT Mon May 11 2026 A period of MVFR is currently traversing the North Texas TAF sites, however, this should be temporary as VFR skies return by 08z. Post-frontal winds remain out of the north, generally between 10-13 kts. For Waco, precipitation will come to an end shortly with a return to northerly winds after temporarily experiencing southeasterly winds. Later this morning, another round of MVFR ceilings is looking likely with moisture streaming in from the north. This will be short-lived as VFR once again returns by 16z. Northerly winds will become northeasterly late this morning, followed by easterly this evening. && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Issued at 121 AM CDT Mon May 11 2026 Spotter activation is not expected at this time. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... Dallas-Ft.
