HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK FOR NORTH TEXAS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
125 PM CDT SUN JUN 4 2000

HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE OVER MOST OF NORTH TEXAS THIS AFTERNOON
AS A SLOW-MOVING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKS EAST.  THIS SYSTEM...
CENTERED SLIGHTLY SOUTHEAST OF DALLAS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...
WILL TAP INTO A TROPICAL-LIKE ENVIRONMENT AND WILL GENERATE
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL.  WITH GROUND
SOILS AT SATURATION...FLASH FLOODING IS OCCURRING IN SEVERAL
COUNTIES AND COULD PERSIST THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.

THESE HEAVY RAINS WILL SHIFT SLIGHTLY AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
EXITS SLOWLY TO THE EAST.  AS A RESULT...THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL
POSSIBLY BE EXTENDED INTO TONIGHT FOR MAINLY THE EASTERN TWO THIRDS
OF NORTH TEXAS.  RESIDENTS AND EMERGENCY MANAGERS SHOULD LISTEN FOR
ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS...OR FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS.

BECAUSE THE INSTABILITY IN LIMITED AND WIND PROFILES ARE WEAK...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.
