What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood 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 river flood warning went out at Apr 29, 11:10 PM CDT, 1 hour 24 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 29, 11:10 PM CDT, 1 hour 24 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
1110 PM CDT WED APR 29 2009

.AVIATION...
1110 PM
EXTRAPOLATION OF WESTERN MCS PUTS IT IN THE METROPLEX 09-10Z
(04-05AM). UNCERTAINTY AS TO WHETHER IT WILL HOLD TOGETHER THAT
LONG...SO THESE TAFS COULD BE CONSIDERED A WORSE CASE SCENARIO. IF
THEY DO WEAKEN...NEXT SHIFT CAN PULL THEM OUT. GIVEN PAST FEW DAYS
FOR HISTORY...THIS MCS SHOULD PERSIST.   84

&&

.UPDATE...
907 PM
TODAY/S MCS CONTINUES TO WEAKEN AS STRONG COLD POOL SURGES OUT
AHEAD AND FAILS TO INITIATE NEW/VIGOROUS CONVECTION ALONG ITS
LEADING EDGE. LOW LEVEL JET IS NOW INTENSIFYING AND BEING FORCED
UP AND OVER SHALLOW COLD POOL WITH WEAK CONVECTION STREAMING
NORTHWARD. AFTER A BRIEF LULL...STRONGER CONVECTION ONCE AGAIN
FIRING NOW JUST NORTH OF COOKE AND MONTAGUE COUNTIES WHERE MORE
DEFINITIVE BAROCLINIC ZONE INTERSECTS LOW LEVEL JET. FLOODING
THREAT WILL CONTINUE MAINLY ALONG THE RED RIVER THROUGH THE NEXT
FEW HOURS.

ATTENTION SHIFTS TO GROWING CLUSTER OF STRONG/SEVERE CONVECTION
SOUTH OF CHILDRESS. THIS CONVECTION IS EVOLVING INTO A MCS...AND
WILL PROPAGATE E/SE...LIKELY ALONG THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY LEFT BY
TODAY/S MCS. THIS OUTFLOW BOUNDARY IS ANALYZED ROUGHLY FROM THE
METROPLEX TO WICHITA FALLS. AIRMASS ALONG AND SOUTH OF THIS
BOUNDARY IS UNSTABLE HAS NOT BEEN WORKED OVER. ALSO...LOW LEVEL
JET WILL TRANSPORT/CREATE A VERY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR A
STRONG/SEVERE MCS TO TRACK THROUGH THE NW ZONES AND INTO THE
METROPLEX LATER TONIGHT. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE THIS YOUNG
MCS INTENSIFY AS IT MOVES CLOSER...WITH A THREAT OF DAMAGING WINDS
PARTICULARLY OVER THE NW ZONES.

WILL KEEP HIGH POPS GOING ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CWA TO
ACCOUNT FOR CURRENT ACTIVITY AND EXPECTED TRACK OF NEW MCS AFTER
MIDNIGHT. AT THIS TIME THINK TRACK OF MCS WILL STAY NORTH OF WACO
AREA AND WILL KEEP POPS LOW FARTHER SOUTH BUT WILL NEED TO BE
WATCHED CLOSELY.     TR.92

&&

.PREV AVIATION...
619 PM
STORMS TO THE NORTH ARE WEAKENING...AND SHOWING NO TENDENCY TO MOVE
SOUTH INTO THE METROPLEX. WILL KEEP A FEW HOURS OF VCTS AND THEN THE
TSTM THREAT SHOULD EASE OFF. WEAK BOUNDARY WILL SHIFT WINDS EAST FOR
A COUPLE OF HOURS BUT THEY SHOULD RETURN TO THE SOUTH SOON. MVFR
CEILINGS SHOULD RETURN LATE THIS EVENING...AND LAST THROUGH MID
MORNING. SOUTH WINDS WILL REMAIN IN THE 10-15KT RANGE OVERNIGHT SO
SEE NO IFR AT THE TAF SITES.            84

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 256 PM CDT WED APR 29 2009/
CONVECTION IS BEING SUSTAINED ALONG THIS MORNINGS OUTFLOW BOUNDARY
WHICH LIES ROUGHLY ALONG THE RED RIVER. TRAINING CELLS ALONG THIS
BOUNDARY HAVE BEEN EFFICIENT RAINFALL PRODUCERS AND FLASH FLOODING
IS THE MAIN CONCERN FROM BOWIE EASTWARD. MORE DISCRETE STORMS ARE
FORMING TO OUR WEST AND REPRESENT MORE OF A HAIL AND TORNADO
THREAT. STORMS WILL DEVELOP SOUTH AND EAST WITH TIME AS THE MAIN
SHORTWAVE NEARS...AND AREAS NORTH OF I-20 WILL SEE A CHANCE OF
RAIN OVERNIGHT. THIS ACTIVITY WILL PUSH EAST BY MORNING AS THE
UPPER LEVEL LIFT MOVES EAST OF THE AREA.

NORTH TEXAS WILL REMAIN IN A PROGRESSIVE PATTERN OVER THE NEXT 7
DAYS WITH A LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER MOST OF THE COUNTRY. A FEW
SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVES AND NUMEROUS SMALLER DISTURBANCES WILL
AFFECT NORTH TEXAS DURING THIS TIME. A COLD FRONT WILL STALL JUST
SOUTH OF THE RED RIVER FRIDAY EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY...PROVIDING A
FOCUS FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN A VERY MOIST ENVIRONMENT.
CURRENTLY CHANCE POPS ARE INCLUDED FOR ALL OF THE CWA ON SUNDAY.
THE ATMOSPHERE WILL LIKELY REMAIN CAPPED EXCEPT RIGHT ALONG THE
FRONT...BUT THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH MUCAPE AND SHEAR FOR SOME STORM
SCALE ORGANIZATION AND A THREAT FOR LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS.
FLOODING WILL BE A CONCERN ONCE MORE WITH RELATIVELY SLOW EASTWARD
STORM MOTION ALONG THE WEST-TO-EAST ORIENTED FRONT.

A PIECE OF ENERGY WILL ROUND THE BASE OF THE TROUGH ON TUESDAY
AND DRIVE ANOTHER COLD FRONT SOUTHWARD. THIS TIME THE FRONT
APPEARS TO CLEAR THE CWA. MUGGY WARM WEATHER WILL PREVAIL THIS
WEEK DESPITE THE COLD FRONTS...WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE 70S AND
80S AND LOWS IN THE 60S. SH/13
