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 Apr 25, 12:52 PM CDT, 1 hour 46 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 25, 12:52 PM CDT, 1 hour 46 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
1252 PM CDT MON APR 25 2011

.AVIATION...
STORMS APPEAR TO BE IN A WEAKENING PERIOD EARLY THIS AFTERNOON BUT
THEY SHOULD PICK BACK UP AS COLD FRONT AND DRY LINE APPROACHES
FROM THE NW AND WEST. FEEL CONFIDENT ABOUT STORMS GOING UP IN VERY
UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT BUT TIMING WILL BE DIFFICULT DO TO LATE
MORNINGS LINGERING/DEVELOPING CONVECTION. DRY LINE SHOULD SHIFT
WINDS WEST 22-24Z TIME FRAME AND THEN COLD FRONT BRINGS NW FLOW BY
06Z. STORMS SHOULD TAPER OFF AFTER DRY LINE PASSES.

80

&&

.UPDATE...
I AM RAISING THE POPS FOR THE METROPLEX EASTWARD TODAY AND THIS
EVENING...UPDATE OUT SHORTLY. 84

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 424 AM CDT MON APR 25 2011/
A LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL END FROM WEST TO
EAST THIS MORNING AS ENERGY FROM A SHORT WAVE TROUGH TRANSLATES
ACROSS THE REGION. ISOLATED HAIL AND DOWBURST WINDS WILL BE THE
PRIMARY HAZARDS THIS MORNING. EXPECT A DRY LINE TO MOVE INTO THE
WESTERN COUNTIES OF NORTH TEXAS THIS AFTERNOON WITH MUCH DRIER AND
BREEZY CONDITIONS BEHIND IT. WE DO EXPECT ELEVATED GRASS FIRE
DANGER GENERALLY WEST OF A BOWIE TO HAMILTON LINE. HOWEVER...
GENEROUS RAINFALL IN MANY NORTH TEXAS COUNTIES AND MARGINAL WIND
SPEEDS WILL KEEP FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS FROM BECOMING CRITICAL
THIS AFTERNOON. WIND SPEEDS EAST OF THE DRY LINE WILL BE A BIT
STRONGER...BUT AFTERNOON RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL REMAIN ABOVE 35
PERCENT. EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO INITIATE ON THE DRY LINE THIS
AFTERNOON AS ANOTHER SHORT WAVE APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. STORMS
THIS AFTERNOON SHOULD FORM A BIT FURTHER EAST AND AFFECT LOCATIONS
GENERALLY ALONG AND EAST OF THE INTERSTATE 35 CORRIDOR. SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE AGAIN WITH HAIL..DAMAGING
WIND...AND ISOLATED TORNADOES. THE STORMS WILL END FROM WEST TO
EAST TONIGHT AS THE DRY LINE AND A COLD FRONT MOVE ACROSS THE
REGION. THE COLD FRONT MAY HANG UP IN THE SOUTHEAST ZONES TUESDAY
AND BE A FOCUS FOR ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...BUT IT
APPEARS THAT THE BEST CHANCES WILL BE SOUTHEAST OF THE REGION. A
SECONDARY COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE RED RIVER TUESDAY NIGHT
WHILE ANOTHER TROUGH MOVES QUICKLY ACROSS THE REGION. MOISTURE SHOULD BE
A BIT LIMITED WITH THIS SYSTEM...BUT A FEW STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE
IN THE NORTH. THERE MAY BE AN ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER THREAT
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AS DRY NORTHWEST WINDS INCREASE BEHIND THE
COLD FRONT.

THE WEATHER PATTER LOOKS QUIET FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK AS
UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST. THE RIDGE AXIS
WILL SHIFT EAST OF THE REGION ON SATURDAY AS A TROUGH AND
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT MOVE ACROSS THE REGION. A FEW THUNDERSTORMS
MAY ACCOMPANY THE COLD FRONT SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...ESPECIALLY
IN THE EAST WHERE MOISTURE SHOULD BE MORE ABUNDANT.
