SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK FOR NORTH TEXAS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FT WORTH TX
600 PM CDT SAT MAY 6 1995

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER THAT
PART OF NORTH TEXAS GENERALLY WEST OF A MONTAGUE TO LAMPASAS
LINE TODAY AND TONIGHT AND THE REMAINDER OF NORTH TEXAS TONIGHT.
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE RISK AREA WILL PRODUCE DAMAGING HAIL...HIGH
WIND AND POSSIBLY TORNADOES.

AN UPPER AIR DISTURBANCE IS TRIGGERING ANOTHER OUTBREAK OF
THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE EASTERN PART OF WEST TEXAS. THIS SQUALL
LINE WILL THREATEN THE WESTERN PART OF NORTH TEXAS THIS MORNING.
ANOTHER SQUALL LINE SHOULD FORM ACROSS WEST TEXAS BY EARLY
AFTERNOON AND MOVE INTO WESTERN NORTH TEXAS BY LATE AFTERNOON..
REACHING THE CENTRAL PART OF NORTH TEXAS EARLY THIS EVENING AND
EAST TEXAS LATER TONIGHT.

THE AIRMASS OVER NORTH TEXAS REMAINS UNSTABLE.  WARM MOIST GULF
OF MEXICO AIR WILL CONTINUE TO FLOW INTO THE AREA AT LOW
LEVELS...WHILE AT UPPER LEVELS COOLING WILL CONTINUE.  THESE
FEATURES COMBINE TO FURTHER DESTABILIZE THE AIRMASS.   LOW LEVEL
WIND FROM THE SOUTHEAST WILL RAPIDLY SHIFT TO THE SOUTHWEST WITH
HEIGHT.  THIS CLOCKWISE TURNING OF THE WIND IS A FAVORABLE
PATTERN TO INTENSIFY ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP.

AFTER THIS ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AND TONIGHT...A VERY
INTENSE UPPER AIR TROUGH WILL MOVE INTO WEST TEXAS ON SUNDAY.
THIS TROUGH WILL PROBABLY TRIGGER YET ANOTHER SQUALL LINE WHICH
SHOULD MOVE RAPIDLY INTO NORTH TEXAS DURING THE DAY SUNDAY.  DUE
TO THE INTENSITY OF THE UPPER AIR TROUGH...THERE COULD BE A
DANGEROUS OUTBREAK OF SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS NORTH TEXAS.  THIS
WEATHER DEVELOPMENT IS BEING MONITORED CLOSELY.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DIRECTORS AND STORM SPOTTER GROUPS SHOULD IN
THE WESTERN THIRD OF THE AREA SHOULD EXPECT ACTIVATION ANY TIME
TODAY...THOSE OVER THE CENTRAL 1/3 BY EARLY EVENING AND THE
EASTERN THIRD BY 9 PM CDT.
