What was reported inside it

Time	Report	Where	Remark
Oct 23, 5:23 PM CDT	TSTM WND DMG	Teague, TX	TREE BLOWN DOWN INTO POWER LINES IN TEAGUE

Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this tornado 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 tornado warning went out at Oct 23, 3:15 PM CDT, 1 hour 2 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 23, 3:15 PM CDT, 1 hour 2 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
315 PM CDT SAT OCT 23 2010

.DISCUSSION...

AT FORECAST TIME A WELL DEFINED OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WAS LOCATED FROM
ROUGHLY THE CITY OF DALLAS SOUTHWESTWARD TO JUST NORTH OF
GOLDTHWAITE. 1930Z WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATED THAT THE BASE OF
A SHORTWAVE TROUGH WAS ROTATING NORTHEAST MOVING TOWARDS AREAS
JUST SOUTH OF WACO.  LARGE SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT WAS AIDING IN
THE DEVELOPMENT OF WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORMS OVER MUCH OF NORTH
TEXAS THIS AFTERNOON. FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON...THE
BIGGEST SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THREAT WOULD APPEAR TO EXIST FOR AREAS
SOUTHEAST OF THE CURRENT LOCATION OF THE OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY...GENERALLY SOUTHEAST OF A DALLAS TO GOLDTHWAITE LINE.
LOCALLY CALCULATED ENVIRONMENTAL PARAMETERS INDICATE THAT THIS
ENVIRONMENT IS CHARACTERIZED BY 1500 J/KG OF MIXED LAYER CAPE...50
KTS OF 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR AND 30 KTS OF 0-1 KM BULK SHEAR. BETWEEN
THE STRONG FORCING FOR ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH
AND OUT AHEAD OF THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY THINKING IS THAT STORM MODE
WILL BE LARGELY QUASI-LINEAR. THE CAPE AND SHEAR PARAMETERS
COMBINED SUGGEST THAT SUPERCELL STRUCTURES WILL LIKELY BE EMBEDDED
WITHIN THESE QUASI-LINEAR STRUCTURES. DAMAGING OUTFLOW WINDS AND
LARGE HAIL ARE THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER HAZARDS...HOWEVER
TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE THRU THE EARLY EVENING HOURS AS WELL.

TORNADO POTENTIAL...SOUTHEAST OF THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY THE LARGE
SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT HAS CAUSED PRESSURE FALLS ON THE ORDER OF
1 MB/HR. WINDS HAD BACKED A BIT WHERE PRESSURE FALLS WERE
OCCURRING WHICH WAS BRINGING 0-1 KM STORM RELATIVE HELICITY VALUES
UP ABOVE 300 M2/S2. WITH SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUD COVER 0-3 KM
CAPE VALUES HAVE CLIMBED TO NEAR 100 J/KG OVER THE SAME AREA.
THINKING IS THAT STORMS THAT DEVELOP SOUTHEAST OF THE OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY AND CAN REMAIN DISCRETE THE LONGEST WILL BE THE MOST
LIKELY TO PRODUCE TORNADOES THROUGH THIS EVENING. ANY QLCS
ACTIVITY MAY ALSO PRODUCE BRIEF TORNADOES IN THIS HIGHLY SHEARED
LOW LEVEL ENVIRONMENT.

FLASH FLOODING POTENTIAL...PWATS HAVE CLIMBED TO NEAR 1.5 INCHES
ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA. WHILE THE REGION HAS BEEN WELL
BELOW NORMAL IN TERMS OF PRECIPITATION FOR THE MONTH OF
OCTOBER...RAINFALL RATES OF 1.5 TO 2 INCHES PER HOUR REMAIN
POSSIBLE THRU LATE THIS EVENING. ANY LOCATIONS THAT SEE MULTIPLE
ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY SEE SOME LOCALIZED FLOODING
PROBLEMS.

TONIGHT...LATE THIS EVENING THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO
MOVE NORTHEAST INTO EASTERN OK SPREADING LARGE SCALE FORCING FOR
SUBSIDENCE OVER NORTH TX. THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING COUPLED WITH
FORCING FOR SUBSIDENCE IS EXPECTED TO BRING A QUICK END TO TSTM
ACTIVITY A FEW HRS AFTER SUNSET.

SUNDAY...A STRONG SHORTWAVE TROUGH CURRENTLY MOVING SOUTHEAST
THRU NV IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. THE REMNANT OUTFLOW BOUNDARY AND DRYLINE ARE EXPECTED
TO BE DRAPED OVER THE CWA TOMORROW AFTERNOON. THE LATEST MODEL
CONSENSUS HAS THIS BOUNDARY EXTENDING FROM A SHERMAN TO DFW TO
HAMILTON LINE AT 18Z EARLY SUNDAY AFTERNOON. ASSUMING THIS
BOUNDARY POSITION IS ACCURATE WE WILL LIKELY SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF
STRONG THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP SUNDAY AFTERNOON. CAPE VALUES ARE
ONCE AGAIN EXPECTED TO CLIMB TO 1500 J/GK WHILE DEEP LAYER SHEAR
VALUES REMAIN AROUND 50 TO 55 KTS. ONCE AGAIN SUPERCELL
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THIS ENVIRONMENT. LARGE HAIL MAY
BE A BIGGER THREAT TOMORROW AFTERNOON AS MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES
LOOK TO BE STEEPER THAN THEY ARE TODAY. THE NEAR SURFACE WINDS
APPEAR TO BE SLIGHTLY WEAKER AND MORE VEERED ALONG THE FRONT
TOMORROW...SO THE TORNADO THREAT MAY BE A BIT LOWER...HOWEVER
ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE.

THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST REMAINS LARGELY UNCHANGED AT THIS
TIME WITH THE FOCUS OF THE FORECAST PACKAGE ON THE NEXT 24 TO 48
HRS.
