$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Fort Worth, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Feb 5, 2:10 PM CST, 59 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 5, 2:10 PM CST, 59 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX 210 PM CST TUE FEB 5 2008 .UPDATE... WILL ISSUE WIND ADVISORY FOR NORTH TEXAS THROUGH 7 PM. AS FRONT MOVES THROUGH WINDS ARE PICKING UP QUITE STRONGLY. WINDS SHOULD LAST A COUPLE OF HOURS BEHIND THE FRONT BEFORE MODERATING. 84 && .PREV UPDATE... 1206 NEW PACKAGE COMING OUT TO GET TORNADO WATCH 34 IN THE PRODUCTS. WATCH IS FOR AREAS ALONG AND NORTHEAST OF A LINE FROM BONHAM...GREENVILLE...CANTON. HAVE DROPPED POPS FOR METROPLEX WESTWARD. WEST WIND AND DROPPING TEMPERATURES HAVE NOW MADE IT AS FAR EAST AS THE OFFICE IN FORT WORTH. EXPECT WINDS TO STAY JUST BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA THIS AFTERNOON...WITH WINDS 15 TO 20 WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS TO 30 MPH. 84 && .PREV UPDATE... 1144 AM COLD FRONT HAS CAUGHT UP TO DRY-LINE NOW PER IMMEDIATE VEER TO W/NW WINDS AND TEMP CONTRASTS. THIS FRONT PER SATELLITE IS AN INITIAL PACIFIC AIRMASS...WITH MORE POLAR/COLDER AIRMASS AND STRONGER NW WINDS ARRIVING BY THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...WITH SOME CHILLY WIND CHILLS BY MORNING. BEST CHANCE FOR SOME WIDELY SCT STRONG-SEVERE STORMS WILL LIKELY BE OVER NE COUNTIES WHERE DEEPEST MOISTURE AND BEST LARGE-SCALE LIFT WITH APPROACHING S/W OVER SW TX OCCURRING. THESE COUNTIES WILL BE IN FAR SWRN PORTION OF TORNADO WATCH ABOUT TO COME OUT FROM SPC. CAP FURTHER SOUTH PER SOUNDINGS WILL LIKELY KEEP THOSE AREAS FAIRLY LIMITED. WE HAVE UPDATED FOR THESE TRENDS AND EXPECT MOST THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL BE PUSHED E/NE OF N TX BY 21Z/AFTER. && .AVIATION... TOUGH CALL ON TIMING OF WIND SHIFT AND IF ANY CAA/STRATUS WILL GRAZE D/FW TAF SITES. FOR NOW AND PER COORD WITH CWSU...THINK SRN FRINGE OF STRATUS WILL AFFECT D/FW TAF SITES DURING THE AFTN HRS...GOING TO MORE VFR CIGS AND STRONGER/OCCASIONALLY GUSTY NW LOW LVL FLOW BY 00Z/AFTER.. AS S/W LIFTS AWAY AND COLDER POLAR AIRMASS MOVES IN AND THIS CAN BE SEEN IN TX PANHANDLE/WRN OK ALREADY. A FEW AMENDS LIKELY FIRST 6 HRS DUE TO CHALLENGES THAT EXIST...BUT DONT EXPECT PBLMS AFTER 00Z WITH CIG/WIND TRENDS. && .FIRE WEATHER... THOUGH GRASS FIRE DANGER BECOMING MORE MARGINAL OVER RED FLAG WARNING OVER SW COUNTIES DUE TO COLD FRONT OVERTAKING DRY-LINE EVENTUALLY....RHS STILL PROGGED TO DROP TO NEAR 30 PERCENT BY LATE AFTERNOON AND WINDS MAY OCCASIONALLY GUST TO BETWEEN 20 AND 25 MPH BEHIND THE FRONT. AREAS FROM LAMPASAS TO HAMILTON WERE STILL CONCERNED WITH. THUS...WELL LEAVE RFW (RED FLAG WARNING) GOING...THOSE NEAR COLORADO RIVER WILL SEE THE MAIN THREAT. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 740 AM CST TUE FEB 5 2008/ UPDATE... UPDATING TO EXPIRE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH. ALTHOUGH SUBSIDENCE IN THE WAKE OF EARLY MORNING CONVECTION/SHORTWAVE HAS LIKELY BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR SUPPRESSION OF STORMS THUS FAR...SURFACE OBS CONTINUE TO INDICATE MODERATE PRESSURE FALLS OVER NORTH TEXAS WITH MOISTURE/INSTABILITY RECOVERING. LOCAL NOWCAST MODELS ALSO DEPICT LOWERING CIN AND INCREASING CAPES AHEAD OF SLOWLY MOVING DRY LINE. LATEST GLOBAL MODELS CONTINUE TO SLOW THE PROGRESS OF THE SYSTEM DOWN AND THEREFORE AM HESITANT TO REDUCE POPS MUCH OVER THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN CWA. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE SEVERE RISK IS BEST NORTHEAST OF A GAINESVILLE TO CORSICANA LINE WHERE WINDS HAVE BACKED AHEAD OF SURFACE LOW. FOR THIS UPDATE PULLED THUNDER FROM THE WESTERN COUNTIES AND LOWERED POPS...OTHER JUST SOME COSMETIC CHANGES TO HOURLY GRIDS. TR.92 PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 538 AM CST TUE FEB 5 2008/ AVIATION... 12Z TAF PACKAGE THUNDERSTORMS HAVE CLEARED THE METROPLEX AIRPORTS AND THE RADAR IS MOSTLY CLEAR BUT FOR SOME LIGHT LINGERING RAIN. IN THE WAKE OF THE STORMS...WINDS VARY FROM THE SOUTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 12KTS BUT A QUICK RECOVERY AND RETURN TO SOUTHERLY WINDS AT 14-18KTS IS EXPECTED BY 13-14Z. ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE METROPLEX AIRPORTS THIS MORNING. CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS AT WACO IS LESS AND HAVE INCLUDED VCTS FOR NOW IN THE TAF BUT A THUNDERSTORM OR TWO MAY IMPACT THE AIRPORT LATE THIS MORNING. SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE METROPLEX THIS MORNING PRODUCING GUSTY WINDS UP TO 60 KTS AND LARGE HAIL ALONG WITH FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING. STRONG WINDS WILL PREVAIL THIS TAF PERIOD BUT WILL SHIFT TO THE WEST AND THEN NORTHWEST AS A DRYLINE MOVES IN AROUND 17-18Z AND THEN A COLD FRONT AROUND 00Z. THIS WILL RESULT IN A POSSIBLE CROSSWIND PROBLEM AT MOST OF THE METROPLEX AIRPORTS. CEILINGS ARE ALREADY LIFTING OUT OF MVFR CATEGORY AND EXPECT THEM TO CONTINUE TO LIFT AND BE NEARLY SKC BY THIS EVENING. 82/JLD PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 248 AM CST TUE FEB 5 2008/ DISCUSSION... POTENT UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IS NOW MOVING THROUGH NEW MEXICO AND WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION TODAY. MODELS HAVE SLOWED THE PROGRESS OF THE SYSTEM AND THIS WILL RESULT IN GREATER COVERAGE OF STORMS THIS MORNING...SOME SEVERE. DYNAMIC LIFT IS NOW BEGINNING TO OVER SPREAD NORTH TEXAS EARLY THIS MORNING...BUT STORMS ARE ELEVATED AT THIS TIME. VERY STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE PRODUCING MU CAPES APPROACHING 1000 J/KG WHILE DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS MORE THAN AMPLE FOR ORGANIZED CONVECTIVE MODES...INCLUDING BOWING SEGMENTS AND SUPERCELLS. SEVERE THREAT WILL PRIMARILY BE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. LOW LEVEL SHEAR IS VERY STRONG...BUT CURRENTLY TORNADO THREAT IS MITIGATED BY LIMITED ABILITY FOR STORMS TO INGEST SURFACE PARCELS DUE TO CAP AROUND 850 MB. THE RUC SHOWS A NARROW OPPORTUNITY AHEAD OF AN EASTWARD MOVING COLD FRONT WHERE THE CAP ERODES ENOUGH FOR SURFACE BASED CONVECTION AFTER DAY BREAK. THUS WILL NEED TO MONITOR DISCRETE STORMS CLOSELY FOR ISOLATED TORNADIC POTENTIAL THIS MORNING MAINLY ALONG AND EAST OF I-35. ASIDE FROM SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL...FIRE WEATHER WILL BE A CONCERN LATER THIS AFTERNOON OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN COUNTIES. MODELS ARE IN POOR AGREEMENT ON WIND SPEEDS AND HUMIDITY VALUES OVER THE AREA. WILL GENERALLY SIDE WITH A BLEND OF THE GFS/RUC FORECASTS WITH THE DRY SLOT FROM THE UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES. THIS WILL ALLOW WINDS 20-30KT 925MB WINDS TO MIX DOWN FROM ALOFT AS WELL AS SOME LOW DEWPOINTS. DESPITE MORNING RAINS IN THE AREA...A COUPLE HOURS OF SUN...DRY WINDS...AND 70 DEGREE TEMPERATURES WILL DRY OUT THE FREEZE DRIED GRASSES AND FUELS. WE HAVE UPGRADED MOST OF THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH TO A RED FLAG WARNING FOR THE SW ZONES. COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE REGION LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH BREEZY NW WINDS CONTINUING THROUGH THE NIGHT. SOME WRAP AROUND CLOUDS ARE POSSIBLE OVER THE NORTHERN ZONES TONIGHT...BUT OTHERWISE IT WILL BE SUNNY WEDNESDAY WITH PLEASANTLY COOL TEMPERATURES. THE PROGRESSIVE ZONAL UPPER LEVEL FLOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH ANOTHER COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH ON THURSDAY AND AGAIN FRIDAY EVENING. NO RAIN WITH EITHER SYSTEM AND IT WILL ONLY SERVE TO SWITCH WINDS AROUND AND REINFORCE THE MILD WEATHER. AIRMASS WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN DRY AND MAINLY CLEAR SKIES ARE EXPECTED INTO THE WEEKEND. LONG RANGE MODELS SHOW A COLD FRONT BACK-DOORING IN FROM THE NORTHEAST AS POLAR HIGH MOVES INTO THE EASTERN SEABOARD. WILL SHOW A SLIGHT COOL DOWN SUNDAY AND MONDAY AND AN INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER. HAVE KEPT FORECAST DRY MONDAY AND TUESDAY...ALTHOUGH GFS IS TRYING TO SPIT OUT SOME LIGHT QPF AMOUNTS. TR.92 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... DALLAS-FT.
