SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
6 AM CST WED MAR 7 1990

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TODAY OVER THAT PART
OF NORTH TEXAS ALONG AND EAST OF A LINE FROM STEPHENVILLE TO GAINESVILLE
AND NORTH OF A LINE FROM STEPHENVILLE TO NEAR SHREVEPORT.

A STRONG SPREADING OF WINDS AT HIGH LEVELS WILL EXIST OVER NORTH TEXAS
TODAY AS AN INTENSE UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER SOUTHEAST COLORADO MOVES
NORTHEAST. ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS PRESENT ACROSS MOST OF NORTH
CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST TEXAS. WARM AIR CONTINUES TO FEED INTO THE
THREAT AREA FROM THE SOUTH AND THIS WILL DESTABALIZE THE ATMOSPHERE
EVEN MORE.  STRONG TURNING OF LOW LEVEL WINDS WAS ABSENT FROM THE WEATHER
PATTERN THIS MORNING.  CONSEQUENTLY...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE MORE
LIKELY THAN TORNADOES.

FLASH FLOODING IS A GREATER THREAT TODAY OVER PARTS OF NORTH TEXAS
DUE TO ALMOST SATURATED GROUND AND A CONTINUANCE OF STORM DEVELOPMENT
OVER THE SAME AREAS.

WIND GUSTS TO ABOUT 60 MILES AN HOUR WERE REPORTED IN SOME OF THE
STORMS EARLIER THIS MORNING SO SEVERE THUNDERTORMS COULD OCCUR AT
ANY TIME ALTHOUGH THE BEST CHANCE WILL BE IN THE AFTERNOON WHEN A DRY
LINE WILL EDGE CLOSER THE THE AREA AND SOME HELP WILL COME FROM DAYTIME
HEATING.

STORM SPOTTERS ARE REQUESTED TO KEEP INFORMED OF THE LATEST WEATHER
DEVELOPMENTS TODAY IN CASE ACTIVATION OF SPOTTER NETS BECOMES NECESSARY.
