144 FXUS64 KFWD 081030 AFDFWD Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fort Worth TX 530 AM CDT Wed Oct 8 2025 ...New Aviation... .KEY MESSAGES... - Isolated rain showers are possible east of I-35 today with coverage of 10% or less. - Warm and mostly dry weather will continue into next week with temperatures 5 to 10 degrees above normal. && .SHORT TERM... /Issued 1237 AM CDT Wed Oct 8 2025/ /Through Tonight/ A stalled frontal boundary draped through the forecast area from southwest to northeast may support additional diurnally driven rain shower activity this afternoon with coverage of 10% or less, and this will be most likely across East Texas where pooled moisture remains. Otherwise, the presence of anomalously strong mid-level heights will maintain above normal temperatures with highs in the upper 80s to mid 90s. -Stalley && .LONG TERM... /Issued 1237 AM CDT Wed Oct 8 2025/ /Thursday Onward/ Low-level wind fields return to ESE during the second half of the workweek which will result in a fetch of drier air and lower dewpoints, so despite persistent above normal temperatures, low humidity will result in fairly pleasant conditions with overnight lows still falling into the 60s and even upper 50s. Lower RH may result in an uptick in wildfire activity heading into the weekend, especially given the recent dry spell and increasingly available cured fuels. Southern plains ridging will prevail into next week with rain chances remaining below 10% through the entire extended forecast period. There is no sign of a significant pattern change in the next ~10 days. -Stalley && .AVIATION... /NEW/ /12z TAFs/ VFR will prevail through the period while a cirrus canopy thickens overhead. Expect northeast winds around 5-10 kts with a few daytime gusts to 15 kts. A few rain showers are possible east of D10 this afternoon, but no precip is forecast at any of the TAF sites themselves. -Stalley && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
