828 FXUS64 KFWD 011036 AFDFWD Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fort Worth TX 536 AM CDT Tue Jul 1 2025 ...New Aviation... .KEY MESSAGES... - A few lingering showers will continue this morning with isolated storms possible (20% chance) this afternoon and evening. - Low storm chances (10-20%) will continue Wednesday through Friday for areas near/west of U.S. 281. - Seasonable conditions will continue with highs in the 90s and heat indices between 99 to 103 degrees at times. && .SHORT TERM... /Issued 105 AM CDT Tue Jul 1 2025/ /Through Tonight/ The outflow boundary from tonight`s storms has crossed southward through the Metroplex and is slowly losing momentum heading into Central Texas. Ongoing bands of showers and a few storms across North Texas will continue for a few more hours at most, before diminishing. Temperatures behind the outflow dropped into the low 70s, with even a few upper 60s readings interspersed along the Red River and northwest of the Metroplex. Ample cloud cover is overhead still, but lows should drop a bit more this morning and fall into the mid/upper 60s for a few lucky spots across North Texas, with the more seasonable lower/middle 70s expected elsewhere. Otherwise, July will kick off with near or slightly cooler than normal afternoon highs, with readings in the low to mid 90s. July 1 is the average first date of reaching 100 degrees for DFW (July 4 for Waco), and thankfully, North and Central Texas will be later than average this year with run-of-the-mill summer heat anticipated the next few days. Storm chances will return Tuesday during the day for much of the area, but coverage will remain low (~20-30%). Isolated storms are most likely to develop where the aforementioned outflow boundary remains draped, generally bisecting the forecast area across northern Central TX which aligns with an axis of higher low/mid level moisture. Similar to many of the previous days over the last week or so, these storms aren`t expected to be impressive, but may contain gusty winds, brief heavy rain, and frequent lightning. Gordon && .LONG TERM... /Issued 105 AM CDT Tue Jul 1 2025/ /Wednesday Onward/ The extended period will be largely quiet with highs in the 90s and low rain chances for areas out west. A subtropical ridge centered just to the south/east of the region will keep largely subsident weather in place with moist, southerly flow. The exception to this is for locations near and west of U.S. 281 through the end of the work week, where an enhanced plume of tropical moisture through West TX and a weak upper trough will support rain chances. The better chances will exist outside of the forecast area, but 20% PoPS have been maintained each day through Friday. Beyond Friday/July 4th, rain chances will come to an end with highs nudging into the mid/upper 90s. Gordon && .AVIATION... /NEW/ /12Z TAFs/ No major concerns are expected through the TAF period with VFR prevailing. Winds have weakened this morning to around 5 kts or less and any lower decks near 050-060 have now lifted/scattered at all sites. Winds will increase in speed slightly to around 5 to 10 kts through today out of the northwest, before gradually shifting to become more E and SE this afternoon/evening. Outside of this, there is a low potential for storms across the region, but coverage will remain isolated today with impacts at the sites themselves unlikely (20% chance).
