SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK FOR NORTH TEXAS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
530 AM CDT SUN JUN 2 1991

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER THROUGH TONIGHT FOR THE
NORTHWEST PART OF NORTH TEXAS...GENERALLY NORTH AND WEST OF A LINE FROM
COLEMAN...TO DALLAS...TO PARIS.  THIS INCLUDES THE CITIES OF WICHITA
FALLS...ABILENE...SHERMAN...PARIS AND THE DALLAS-FT WORTH METROPLEX.

AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IN THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES IS FORECAST
TO MOVE NORTHEAST DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS. AS IT DOES...COLDER MID
LEVEL TEMPERATURES WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE RISK AREA TO DESTABILIZE THE
ATMOSPHERE.  IN ADDITION...THE DRY LINE...NOW LOCATED FROM NEAR DALHART
TO MIDLAND...WILL MOVE EAST INTO THE WARM MOIST AIRMASS ALREADY IN
PLACE.

TO FURTHER COMPLICATE THE SITUATION...A LARGE THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX IN
THE TEXAS PANHANDLE AND WESTERN OKLAHOMA THIS MORNING WILL LEAVE A
SURFACE BOUNDARY ACROSS THE RISK AREA THAT WILL ALSO ACT AS A FOCUS FOR
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT.

OVERALL DYNAMICS AND THE VERTICAL WIND PROFILE DO NOT APPEAR CONDUCIVE
FOR TORNADO DEVELOPMENT...WITH THE MAIN THREAT BEING HAIL AND HIGH
WINDS.  IN ADDITION...HEAVY RAINS MAY BE A PROBLEM IN THE EXTREME
WESTERN PORTION OF THE RISK AREA WHERE THUNDERSTORMS COULD TRAVEL
REPEATEDLY ACROSS THE SAME AREA.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS AND SPOTTERS SHOULD KEEP INFORMED OF
CHANGING WEATHER CONDITIONS TODAY AND TONIGHT FOR POSSIBLE ACTIVATION.
WHILE ACTIVATION COULD BE POSSIBLE EARLY TODAY IN THE EXTREME
NORTHWEST...IT WILL LIKELY BE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING BEFORE
SEVERE WEATHER WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE RISK AREA.
