Flash Flood Warning 2, NWS Fort Worth, TX

NORTH TEXAS SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FT WORTH TX
1215 PM CDT THU MAY 14 1987

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN NORTH TEXAS THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING GENERALLY TO THE SOUTH AND WEST OF A LINE FROM
HASKELL TO STEPHENVILLE TO TEMPLE. IN ADDITION...THUNDERSTORMS
PRODUCING HEAVY RAINS CAN BE EXPECTED IN AN AREA TO THE WEST OF A
LINE FROM WICHITA FALLS TO FT WORTH TO WACO.

THESE THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL
INCREASE IN AREA COVERAGE AND INTENSITY WITH AFTERNOON HEATING. SOME
HAIL CAN BE EXPECTED AS WELL AS BRIEF INTENSE WINDS...USUALLY AS THE
STORMS DISSIPATE. IN ADDITION...MOVEMENT OF THESE STORMS WILL BE
SLOW...PRODUCING HEAVY RAINS OVER A SMALL AREA.

THE JET STREAM IS WELL NORTH OF TEXAS AND WITH THE LACK OF ANY OTHER
SIGNIFICANT DYNAMIC SUPPORT...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE FEW AND
CONFINED TO SMALL AREAS. THE MAIN INGREDIENT FOR SEVERE WEATHER COMES
FROM OVERNIGHT THUNDERSTORMS IN SOUTHWEST TEXAS WHICH PRODUCED
OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES. THESE BOUNDARIES WILL BE THE MAIN FOCUS OF THIS
AFTERNOON'S ACTIVITY WHEN DAYTIME HEATING ALONG WITH ABUNDANT
MOISTURE WILL INTERACT WITH THE BOUNDARIES TO PRODUCE ITHUNDERSTORMS.

A SIGNIFICANT STORM SPOTTER EFFORT IS NOT ANTICIPATED TODAY BUT
SPOTTERS ARE REQUESTED TO PLAN FOR A POSSIBLE LIMITED ACTIVATION
SHOULD THUNDERSTORMS BECOME MORE NUMEROUS THAN EXPECTED.
