307 FXUS64 KFWD 291805 AFDFWD Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fort Worth TX 105 PM CDT Sun Jun 29 2025 ...New Short Term, Long Term, Aviation... .KEY MESSAGES... - Seasonable conditions will continue this week with daily highs in the 90s and heat indices between 99 to 103 degrees. - There are low chances for storms through the first half of this week, with best chances Monday into Tuesday across North Texas. - Triple digit highs are more likely than not this weekend, with chances of 40 to 70 percent in North Texas starting Saturday. && .SHORT TERM... /NEW/ /Today through Monday Afternoon/ A warm end to the weekend is expected across North and Central Texas. Afternoon high temperatures will peak in the 90s, with heat indices topping out between 95-103. Similar to days past, there will continue to be a diurnally-driven chance for isolated- scattered showers and storms across portions of Central Texas in response to an inland-moving sea breeze. Severe weather is not anticipated with this activity, though any more robust storm could produce gusty, erratic outflow winds and lightning. Nebulous ascent and no real focus for development will keep storm coverage very spotty, with most (if not all) of the region likely remaining dry. Nonetheless, for those of you in Central Texas - if you have outdoor plans today, make sure to stay weather aware in case you find yourself under/near a storm. Any lingering activity will wane over the evening hours with the loss of daytime heating. Overnight conditions will be warm and humid, with temperatures only dropping into the mid 70s by daybreak. Over the day tomorrow, a digging shortwave trough will continue its trek east across the Plains into the Midwest. In response, an attendant surface cold front will slide southward through Kansas and Oklahoma. Out ahead of the front, expect afternoon temperatures once again in the 90s, with heat indices peaking in the mid 90s to around 103. As the front continues south we`ll begin to see an uptick in convective development along the boundary near and north of the Red River late in the afternoon, with most activity remaining in Oklahoma during this time. Severe weather is not expected with any activity in our area, though any stronger storm could produce gusty, erratic winds, and lightning. Prater && .LONG TERM... /NEW/ /Monday Night Onward/ The front will stall near the Red River, with continued scattered showers and storms in North Texas as we head into Tuesday. Severe weather remains unlikely, with strong wind gusts and lightning the main hazards. Ridging will build in over midweek, forcing the front to retreat north. However, a weakness in the ridge will keep low PoPs in the forecast out west, and we`ll need to keep an eye on the potential for interruptions to July 4th activities. Looking ahead to next week, we may finally see more widespread triple digit temperatures as NBM probabilities of 100+ between 40-70% across North Texas (20-40% in Central Texas). Prater && .AVIATION... /NEW/ /18Z TAFs/ Southerly winds and VFR conditions will persist through the rest of today, with a smattering of afternoon Cu. Isolated sea breeze showers and storms may impact our Central Texas counties this afternoon, but coverage will remain too spotty to include in the ACT TAF at this time. Any lingering storm will dissipate with the loss of daytime heating. Southerly winds will prevail overnight, but will gradually shift a bit more out of the southwest tomorrow morning. A cold front will move south towards the Red River tomorrow, promoting increased chances for storms along the boundary. This activity should remain to the north of the D10 airports, but may impact the Bowie and Bonham cornerposts. Prater && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
