188 FXUS64 KFWD 282326 AFDFWD Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fort Worth TX 626 PM CDT Tue Oct 28 2025 ...New UPDATE, AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - Gusty northwest winds will continue through Wednesday with gusts as high as 45 mph Wednesday afternoon. - A Wind Advisory is in effect for all of North and Central Texas. - Below normal temperatures will continue through the end of the week. && .UPDATE... Issued at 620 PM CDT Tue Oct 28 2025 No significant changes were made to the evening forecast as gusty northwest winds continue. These will diminish a bit after sunset but remain elevated around 15 mph through the overnight hours. Strong afternoon mixing will lead to wind gusts approaching 45 mph through the day Wednesday, but winds will diminish sharply Wednesday evening. Overnight lows will drop into the 40s tonight and into the mid/upper 30s on Wednesday night west of I-35. Dunn && .SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Wednesday night) Issued at 100 PM CDT Tue Oct 28 2025 Clouds across the area will continue to lift and move out of the region through the afternoon, and into the evening. This all comes in the wake of a robust cold front that is quickly racing into East Texas and the ArkLaTex vicinity. Though the clouds are dissipating, a strong gradient overhead will support gusty northwesterly winds through the rest of the afternoon, and into the overnight period. This gradient will remain locked in across the FA into Wednesday, therefore a Wind Advisory remains in effect through early Wednesday evening. Gusty northwesterly winds between 20-25 mph will be accompanied by gusts between 40-45 mph. As a result, the Wind Advisory has been expanded to the remaining areas of the FA with this package. Though temperatures will fall into the 40`s tonight as the post frontal passage airmass is introduced, it won`t be until Wednesday night, into early Thursday AM that lows in the 30`s emerge across the western zones. At the same time, a spread of 40`s will exist across the central and eastern zones heading into Thursday AM. Highs through the immediate short term will be comfortable, sitting in the 60`s for both Wednesday and Thursday. Cloud coverage looks to increase Wednesday afternoon as moisture around the northern and western side of the low feature creeps into the northeastern third of the FA. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday through next Monday) Issued at 130 PM CDT Tue Oct 28 2025 By Thursday, the influence of the upper trough will dwindle as milder temperatures stick around through the end of the week, and heading into the weekend. The forecast looks to remain rain free through the end of the week, though a shortwave embedded within the mid-level flow looks to increase rain prospects come Saturday afternoon. Decent agreement among the global guidance scenarios for this synoptic feature, though confidence in PoPs is not as strong citing timing and moisture availability. For now, something to keep watching through the rest of the week. In the meantime, it is worth noting that the forecast showcases a gradual warming trend towards the back half of the period as highs in the mid and upper 70`s look to return as early as Monday. This looks to be the theme through the end of the forecast period. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 620 PM CDT Tue Oct 28 2025 VFR will prevail through the period with gusty northwest winds diminishing a bit this evening after sunset. Strong mixing on Wednesday will lead to another windy day with northwest winds 25 kt gusting to near 40 kt through the afternoon. These winds will diminish sharply after sunset Wednesday evening.
