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.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 20, 12:45 AM CDT, 2 hours 30 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
1245 AM CDT TUE MAR 20 2012

.AVIATION...
/06Z TAFS/

CONCERNS...THUNDER FIRST FEW HOURS OF TAFS.

MAIN LINE OF STORMS HAS PUSHED EAST OF METRO TAF SITES...BUT
INTERMITTENT LIGHTNING CONTINUES WITHIN A LARGE AREA OF TRAILING
PRECIPITATION. LIGHTNING WILL CONTINUE TO BE LESS FREQUENT THAN
EARLIER IN THE EVENT...BUT THUNDER MENTION CONTINUES THROUGH 10Z
(5 AM CDT). AIRPORT WEATHER WARNING CURRENTLY THROUGH 08Z (3 AM
CDT)...SO WILL ASSESS NEED FOR CONTINUATION BEFORE 09Z AMENDMENTS.
STRONG STORMS TRAINING NORTH THROUGH CENTRAL TEXAS WILL LIKELY
PASS EAST OF METRO TAF SITES. WITH UPPER SYSTEM LINGERING TO THE
WEST...SOUTHERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL PERSIST. AS SUCH...LIGHT RAIN
WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE MORNING PUSH...BUT ANTICIPATE A
DIMINISHING LIGHTNING THREAT AS AXIS OF HEAVIER ACTIVITY SHIFTS
EAST. LIGHT NORTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MIDDAY.

WACO...
NEARLY CONTINUOUS HEAVY RAIN WILL IMPACT WACO AS CELLS TRAIN
ACROSS THE AREA...WITH POTENTIAL FOR PROLONGED PERIOD OF IFR
CIGS/VSBY. TAF IS MORE OPTIMISTIC...BUT AIRPORT IS INACTIVE
REGARDLESS. THE LINE WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT EAST OF THE AIRFIELD
BEFORE THE TOWER OPENS IN THE MORNING...BUT LINGERING ACTIVITY
MAY STILL IMPACT EARLY MORNING ARRIVALS/DEPARTURES.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 403 PM CDT MON MAR 19 2012/

POWERFUL UPPER LOW CONTINUES TO SLOWLY MOVE EAST OUT OF THE FOUR
CORNERS REGION THIS AFTERNOON. ONE DISTINCT SHORTWAVE IS ROTATING
ACROSS WEST TEXAS NOW AND IS LIKELY PROVIDING LARGE SCALE FORCING
FOR ASCENT OVER THE AREA. MOST OF THE THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY
ONGOING ARE BEHIND A CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY AND ARE LIKELY
SLIGHTLY ELEVATED HOWEVER GIVEN STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES...
LARGE HAIL WILL REMAIN LIKELY. UNFORTUNATELY...IF YOU WANT
BEASTLY SURFACE BASED STORMS...THE DEEP NEARLY UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW
DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH EASTWARD COMPONENT TO KEEP THESE STORMS OUT
OF THE COOLER AIR BEHIND THIS BOUNDARY. THIS MAY CHANGE THROUGH
THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON INTO EVENING IF THIS BOUNDARY
CONTINUES TO SLOW DOWN. ATMOSPHERE IS SUFFICIENTLY CAPPED EAST OF
THE BOUNDARY AND TURBULENT MIXING IS LIKELY AIDING IN PREVENTING
LOCAL CONVERGENCE FROM BEING SUFFICIENT FOR SURFACE BASED STORMS
AHEAD OF THE MAIN LINE. FOR THE SHORT TERM...AND INTO TONIGHT...
HAVE FAVORED A BLEND OF THE AVAILABLE HIGH RESOLUTION CONVECTION
ALLOWING MODEL GUIDANCE. WILL SHOW THE MAIN LINE CONTINUING TO
MOVE EAST THROUGH THE EVENING. AS NEXT POTENT SHORTWAVE ROTATES
AROUND THE BASE OF THE UPPER LOW OUT WEST...NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DEVELOP AND OVERSPREAD PARTS OF NORTH TEXAS
DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE MAIN SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL
LINGER THROUGH THIS EVENING...ALTHOUGH STEEP LAPSE RATES ALOFT
WILL SUPPORT A LARGE HAIL THREAT THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. WILL
HAVE HIGH POPS THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT THEN TAPERING OFF FROM WEST
TO EAST DURING THE DAY TUESDAY.

AS FOR THE WIND ADVISORY...MIXING OF 50 TO 60KT LLJ PERSISTS THIS
EVENING ALTHOUGH THE LLJ WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTHEAST AFTER DARK.
WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET ALTHOUGH THEY WILL REMAIN GUSTY
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. WILL ALLOW THE WIND ADVISORY TO
EXPIRE AT 7.

AS FOR THE FLOOD WATCH...HEAVY RAINFALL POTENTIAL CONTINUES
THROUGH TUESDAY WITH WIDESPREAD AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 5 INCHES AND
ISOLATED AMOUNTS IN EXCESS OF 6 INCHES. WILL CONTINUE WITH THE
FLASH FLOOD WATCH...HOWEVER WILL ALLOW IT TO EXPIRE AT 7PM
TUESDAY NOW INSTEAD OF MIDNIGHT WEDNESDAY.

EXTENDED...MODELS ARE IN BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THE UPPER LOW AND
WILL RETAIN SOME LOW POPS INTO WEDNESDAY. UPPER LOW EJECTS
EASTWARD LATE WEEK WITH MID LEVEL RIDGING BUILDING INTO THE AREA
AND TEMPERATURES WARMING INTO THE 80S.
