HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK FOR NORTH TEXAS
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
400 PM CDT FRI MAY 26 2000

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS NORTH AND WEST OF
A LAMPASAS...DALLAS...TO PARIS LINE FOR THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT.
THE SLIGHT RISK AREA INCLUDES THE CITIES OF LAMPASAS...BOWIE...
STEPHENVILLE...MINERAL WELLS...GAINESVILLE...SHERMAN...PARIS...AND
THE DALLAS FORT WORTH METROPLEX.

AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVING INTO WEST TEXAS...WILL CONTINUE
TO TRIGGER THE DEVELOPMENT OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WEST OF A WICHITA
FALLS TO ABILENE LINE THIS EVENING. AS THESE THUNDERSTORMS MOVE
EAST...THEY MAY AFFECT AN AREA BETWEEN JACKSBORO AND EASTLAND BY
NIGHTFALL. ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS MAY ALSO DEVELOP ALONG THE
REMNANTS OF AN OLD THUNDERSTORM BOUNDARY LOCATED ALONG A SHERMAN...
DENTON...TO EASTLAND LINE.

THE AIRMASS OVER NORTH TEXAS REMAINS QUITE UNSTABLE. HOWEVER...AN
EXTENSIVE SHIELD OF CLOUDS OVER THE REGION HAS LIMITED THE AMOUNT OF
SURFACE HEATING. IN ADDITION...A WARM LAYER OF AIR ALOFT CONTINUES TO
INHIBIT THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. AS COOLER AIR IN THE MIDDLE
LAYERS OF THE ATMOSPHERE ARRIVES TONIGHT...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
WILL LIKELY DEVELOP TOWARD NIGHTFALL WEST OF A SHERMAN...DALLAS...TO
STEPHENVILLE LINE.

THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. ISOLATED
SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS ARE MORE LIKELY WEST OF A GORMAN TO GRAHAM
LINE WHERE THE TURNING OF THE WIND WITH HEIGHT IS MORE FAVORABLE
FOR ROTATING THUNDERSTORMS.

EMERGENCY MANAGERS AND STORM SPOTTERS WEST A GAINESVILLE...TO
STEPHENVILLE LINE...COULD BE ACTIVATED BY 7 PM. ELSEWHERE...
ACTIVATION IS NOT EXPECTED UNTIL LATER TONIGHT.
