AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
306 PM CST THU JAN 11 2007
...WINTER WEATHER WATCH ISSUED FOR THE NORTHWEST QUARTER SATURDAY
NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...
.DISCUSSION...
VERY INTERESTING...BUT COMPLETE FORECAST TODAY. SEVERAL ARCTIC
FRONTS ARE STACKED UP TO OUR NORTH. THE 1ST FRONT IS ALREADY IN
SOUTHERN KANSAS WITH TEMPS IN THE 30S...20S AND TEENS. A 2ND FRONT
IS LOCATED ACROSS CENTRAL WYOMING AND SOUTH DAKOTA WITH TEMPS IN THE
SINGLE DIGITS AND NEGATIVE NUMBERS. THE 1ST FRONT ARRIVES THE NW CWA
FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND CLEARS THE SE CWA SATURDAY AFTERNOON LATE. THE
2ND FRONT WILL PUSH TROUGH SUNDAY AS THE UPPER TROUGH MOVES ACROSS
THE STATE.
STRONG LOW LEVEL WAA ON 40-50 KTS OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS UNDER
INTENSE JET DYNAMICS AND RRE JET ALOFT WILL PRODUCE STRONG
CONVECTION WITH HEAVY RAINFALL POTENTIAL FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH
SATURDAY. AMOUNTS OVER ONE INCH ARE EXPECTED AND COULD LEAD TO LOCAL
FLOODING. HOWEVER...THE NAM MODEL IS NOT AS WET AS THE GFS
SERIES...AND FOR THIS REASONING...WE DECIDED TO HOLD OFF ISSUING A
FLASH FLOOD WATCH UNTIL A LATER SHIFT.
NOW FOR THE GOOD STUFF...
COLD...BUT SHALLOW ARCTIC AIR WILL OVERTAKE THE CWA SATURDAY WITH
SUB-FREEZING TEMPS EXPECTED OVER THE NORTHWEST QUARTER. A WINTER
WATCH WILL BE ISSUED NORTHWEST OF AN EASTLAND TO GAINESVILLE FOR UP
TO 1/4 INCH OF FREEZING RAIN SATURDAY EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. LATER MODEL RUNS MAY PUSH THIS LINE FURTHER SOUTHEAST AND
INTO OR THROUGH THE METROPLEX...BUT FOR NOW THIS IS OUR BEST GUESS.
ALSO THE 1/4 INCH OF ICE MAY INCREASE TOO...THUS PUSHING THE
NORTHWEST THIRD INTO AN ICE STORM WARNING. WE WILL RE-EVALUATE THIS
SCENARIO OVERNIGHT AND TOMORROW.
THE SECOND SURGE OF ARCTIC AIR COLD COMES IN SUNDAY WITH VERY COLD
TEMPS LINGERING ACROSS NORTH TEXAS ALL OF NEXT WEEK. OVERNIGHT LOWS
WILL BE IN THE TEENS TO MID 20S TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.. HIGHS WILL
BE IN THE 30S AND 40S MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. RAIN CHANCES WILL
END OVER THE SOUTHEAST COUNTIES BY MONDAY MORNING.

If the first front is already clearing their far SE zones of the DFW NWS by Saturday afternoon late (3-6pm)...then I have no doubt it will reach Houston by Saturday evening or very early Sunday morning.

Re: NWS DFW -- what is a "Winter Weather Watch"? There are Winter Storm Watches/Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories - but a "Winter Weather Watch"? That's like when the TV guys erroneously call a Severe Thunderstorm Watch a "Thunderstorm Watch". I wouldn't expect the NWS to erroneously flub their own terminology....OK I need to stop before I sound like Dana Carvey's "Grumpy Old man".

Good one Jason. Somehow when I typed www, it didn’t make sense. Sure the DFW boys are gritting their teeth on the forecast.

Assuming the front stays at 15-20 mph ... when does it reach DFW, then?

Hey Yankee - what's gonna be on your stovetop this weekend? What a wonderful shot at doing some cooking with all the nasty weather going on! I'm thinking homemade chicken & dumplings from scratch - making my own broth, etc. If the power goes out a couple days later leftovers are easy enough to heat up on the old camp stove. 
We're pretty well set for any power outages since we have so much camp equipment. Even have propane tent heaters to go with the fireplace heat. The best thing is we'll still have TV with our Rita-era purchase of a rechargeable battery TV.
