The local office's own words before this red flag 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 red flag warning went out at Sep 3, 12:45 PM CDT, 2 hours 48 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 3, 12:45 PM CDT, 2 hours 48 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX 1245 PM CDT SAT SEP 3 2011 .AVIATION... VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH FORECAST PERIOD. MAIN CONCERN WILL BE STRONG AFTERNOON WINDS. OTHERWISE...A FEW MID AND UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS MAY INCREASE FROM THE EAST DUE TO TS LEE. NORTHEAST WINDS BETWEEN 10 AND 15 MPH WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. KACT WILL SEE SLIGHTLY STRONGER WIND SPEEDS DUE TO THE INCREASED WIND FIELD OF TS LEE TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE REGION. STRONGER GUSTS WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR ALL HOWEVER WIND SPEEDS ARE EXPECTED TO DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET. A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PUSH THROUGH NORTH TEXAS SUNDAY MORNING...CAUSING NORTHEAST WINDS TO BACK TO THE NORTH FOR ALL LOCATIONS. WIND SPEEDS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE TO NEAR 20 KNOTS WITH SOME STRONGER GUSTS. 27 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 440 AM CDT SAT SEP 3 2011/ ONE MORE DAY OF HIGH TEMPS NEAR THE CENTURY MARK BEFORE AN UNSEASONABLY STRONG COLD FRONT BRINGS AN END TO OUR SUMMER HEATWAVE. A MAJOR PATTERN SHIFT WITH AN UPPER LOW MEANDERING OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE US WILL KEEP OUR PREVAILING FLOW OUT OF THE NORTH THROUGH THE WEEK. THIS WILL RESULT IN SPECTACULARLY PLEASANT WEATHER CONSIDERING THE HEAT WE HAVE ENDURED THE LAST TWO MONTHS AND THE FACT THAT IT IS EARLY SEPTEMBER. UNFORTUNATELY THERE WILL BE ESSENTIALLY NO CHANCE OF RAIN THROUGH THE WEEK WITH WINDY AND DRY CONDITIONS ATTRIBUTING TO CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TODAY THROUGH MONDAY. TROPICAL STORM LEE WILL SLOWLY MOVE NORTHWARD INTO LOUISIANA OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THE SYSTEM WILL BE TOO FAR SOUTHEAST TO PROVIDE ANY RAIN OR MOISTURE TO THE AREA. THE WIND FIELD AROUND LEE WILL INTENSIFY AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS IN RESPONSE TO THE APPROACHING SURFACE HIGH WITH OUR COLD FRONT. DIURNAL MIXING TODAY WILL BRING NORTHEAST WINDS TO THE AREA...WITH SPEEDS STRONGEST ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST ZONES WHERE THEY MAY APPROACH 20 MPH. RH VALUES WILL DIP BELOW 30 PERCENT THIS AFTERNOON...AND A RED FLAG WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE SOUTHEAST ZONES. ELEVATED FIRE DANGER EXPECTED ELSEWHERE. NORTHERLY WINDS WILL BE ONGOING TONIGHT WELL AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT...AND FROPA TOMORROW WILL BE GRADUAL AND UNREMARKABLE WITH WINDS INCREASING TO NEAR 20 MPH. AS A RESULT LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT WILL BE WEAK...AND THIS COMBINED WITH LIMITED MOISTURE AND UNIMPRESSIVE LAPSE RATES MEANS RAIN CHANCES WILL BE VERY LOW. WILL ONLY INCLUDE A MENTION OF ISOLATED LIGHT SHOWERS. HUMIDITY WILL ACTUALLY INCREASE BEHIND THE FRONT TO 35 TO 40 PERCENT...WITH THE CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS LIKELY ONLY OCCURRING SOUTH OF I-20 IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON BEFORE FROPA. CONSIDERED CANCELING THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR SUNDAY...BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE FINE TUNED LATER. STRONG COLD ADVECTION SUNDAY NIGHT WILL BRING TEMPS INTO THE 50S OVER THE NORTHERN ZONES AND 60S ELSEWHERE BY SUNRISE MONDAY. DESPITE FULL SUNSHINE MONDAY...HIGHS WILL ONLY BE IN THE LOW TO MID 80S. VERY DRY AIR WILL ALSO FILTER INTO THE AREA MONDAY WITH DEWPOINTS DROPPING INTO THE 30S. STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES SHOULD ENSURE DEEP MIXING AND EXPECT WINDS TO RANGE BETWEEN 15 AND 25 MPH...WITH MODELS LIKELY UNDERESTIMATING SPEEDS. RH MONDAY WILL BE BELOW 20 PERCENT AND THUS MONDAY LOOKS LIKE A DAY OF VERY CRITICAL FIRE DANGER AREA WIDE. WIND SPEEDS DIMINISH MONDAY NIGHT AND THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST LOOKS TRANQUIL. DRY AIR WILL ENSURE OPTIMAL RADIATIONAL COOLING WITH SEVERAL NIGHTS OF LOWS IN THE 50S IN OUTLYING AREAS WITH 60S IN URBAN LOCATIONS. HIGHS WILL SLOWLY WARM EACH DAY AS THE AIR MASS MODERATES AND EXPECT SOME LOW 90S TO GRADUALLY EXPAND FROM SOUTH TO NORTH ACROSS THE CWA BY LATE WEEK.
