SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK FOR NORTH TEXAS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FT WORTH TX
1125 AM CDT WED MAY 16 1990

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT OVER MOST OF NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST TEXAS. THE AREA
OF RISK IS THAT PART OF NORTH TEXAS GENERALLY EAST OF A LINE FROM
HENRIETTA /CLAY COUNTY/ TO BRECKENRIDGE /STEPHENS COUNTY/ TO
COLEMAN /COLEMAN COUNTY/.

AT 1100 AM A COLD FRONT WAS LOCATED ROUGHLY FROM WICHITA FALLS TO
A LITTLE WEST OF SAN ANGELO... MOVING SLOWLY EAST. THUNDERSTORMS
ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE FRONT IN THE WARM UNSTABLE
AIR BY MID AFTERNOON... POSSIBLY BECOMING SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL ...
STONG WINDS... OR TORNADOES.

THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOPED ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS EARLIER
THIS MORNING WERE CONTINUNING AT MIDDAY FROM BETWEEN PARIS AND
TEXARKANA...SOUTHWEST TO BETWEEN TYLER AND DALLAS... AND FURTHER
SOUTH TO NEAR AUSTIN. THIS AREA OF PRECIPITATION WAS ASSOCIATED
WITH A WEAK DISTURBANCE IN THE UPPER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE
THAT WAS MOVING AWAY FROM NORTH TEXAS. HOWEVER... THE CLOUDS AND
PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM MAY TEND TO ENHANCE
LOW LEVEL WINDS OVER WESTERN PORTIONS OF NORTH TEXAS LATER TODAY.

STRONGEST INSTABILITES WERE LOCATED ALONG THE FRONT AT MIDDAY.
AS DAYTIME HEATING PROGRESSES... THE BEST CHANCES FOR SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ALONG AND JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT. LOW LEVEL
WINDS ALONG THE FRONT ARE FAVORABLE FOR A FEW TORNADIC STORMS.

CURRENT TRENDS INDICATE THAT THE COLD FRONT WILL REACH A LINE
NEAR HENRIETTA...BRECKENRIGDE... COLEMAN BY EARLY AFTERNOON.
BY THAT TIME TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE WARM ENOUGH TO INITIATE
THUNDERSTORMS... A FEW OF WHICH COULD REACH SEVERE LIMITS.
THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE EAST INTO THE GAINESVILLE...DENTON...
DALLAS/FORT WORTH...GRANBURY... COMANCHE AREAS BY LATE AFTERNOON...
AND INTO THE SHERMAN...PARIS...TYLER...WACO AREAS BY EARLY EVENING.

SPOTTERS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS WILL WANT TO KEEP
IN TOUCH WITH LATEST WEATHER DEVELOPMENTS THIS AFTERNOON.
