441 FXUS64 KFWD 162303 AFDFWD Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fort Worth TX 603 PM CDT Mon Jun 16 2025 ...New Aviation, Short Term... .KEY MESSAGES... - Seasonably hot and humid conditions are forecast through the rest of the workweek, with low rain chances returning Wednesday night. && .SHORT TERM... /NEW/ Update: With all Southeast/East Texas convection expected to remain removed from the forecast area the rest of this evening, have eliminated the mention of low rain chances across our southeast zones with this forecast update. Seasonably hot and humid weather will continue tomorrow, but it will also be breezy with south winds of 10-20 mph and gusts up to 30 mph. This will bring a small amount of relief to the otherwise uncomfortable heat index values of 100-105 degrees. -Stalley Previous Discussion: /Through Tuesday Night/ Much of North and Central Texas is expected to remain quiet as ridging to our west keeps any major weather systems at bay. Temperatures this afternoon will peak in the mid to upper 90s along and west of I-35 with the coolest temperatures expected across East Texas. A few thunderstorms will develop closer to the Gulf coast, producing an outflow boundary that will shift north as we approach sunset. This outflow boundary may provide just enough lift for a few showers and storms in our Brazos Valley and southeastern counties through this evening. Severe weather is not expected. With mid-level heights increasing tonight and tomorrow, the region will remain precipitation free with slightly warmer temperatures expected. Highs will be in the mid to upper 90s with heat index values between 100-103 degrees. Hernandez && .LONG TERM... /Issued 143 PM CDT Mon Jun 16 2025/ /Wednesday Onward/ The long-term forecast will be influenced by a slowly eastward migrating ridge that will keep widespread rain chances at bay. After this afternoon`s isolated showers, our next rain chances will arrive Wednesday evening as a cold front slides into our region. This cold front will likely stall across North Texas and lead to a few showers and thunderstorms. CAPE values will range between 1500-2000 along the leading edge of the front, which will likely be enough for a few strong to isolated severe storms. Given weak deep-layer shear, individual storms are expected to become a cluster of storms with strong wind gusts the main threat. Rain chances should diminish after midnight as instability and forcing for ascent diminishes. The latter half of the week will continue to be warm as temperatures stay in the mid to upper 90s. With southerly flow in place, afternoon thunderstorms near the Houston metro will produce a northward moving outflow boundary that may kick off additional storms in our region each afternoon. All storms should remain sub-severe with minimal coverage expected. Hernandez && .AVIATION... /NEW/ /00z TAFs/ VFR will prevail through the period with southerly winds. While wind speeds are currently light around 5 kts, they will increase tomorrow to around 15 kts with gusts near 25 kts through the afternoon hours. All low stratus is expected to remain south and east of the TAF sites through the valid period. -Stalley && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
