What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at Feb 3, 5:53 PM CST, 36 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 3, 5:53 PM CST, 36 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
553 PM CST FRI FEB 3 2012

.AVIATION...
CONCERNS...
TIMING OF TSRA AND VARIABLE WINDS GUSTS/VSBYS WITH PASSAGE OF
DRYLINE/COLD FRONT THROUGH 06Z...THEN TRENDS OF CIGS AND VEERING
WINDS BEHIND THIS FEATURE.

VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD GENERALLY PREVAIL EXCEPT UNDERNEATH TSRA...
WHERE MVFR CIGS ARE LIKELY TO OCCUR. CAN'T RULE OUT A BRIEF IFR PD
RIGHT UNDER A STORM CORE...BUT TOO DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT SUCH A
TIME RIGHT NOW. WE HAVE SPED UP TIMING OF COLD FRONT/TROUGH
PASSAGE NOW THAT UPPER JET IS ROUNDING UP THE UPPER LOW OVER
KS/CO. WILL TREND WESTERN METRO TERMINALS FROM SOUTH FLOW 10-15 KTS
TO WEST FLOW AROUND 10 KTS BY 03Z...WITH AN HOUR OR SO DELAY
ACROSS THE EASTERN METRO AIRPORTS.

COLD FRONT WILL ARRIVE AT OR SHORTLY AFTER 06Z WITH WINDS VEERING
NORTHWEST TO AROUND 15 KTS WITH SOME BRIEF MVFR CIGS ASSOCIATED
WITH FROPA. WITH SOME ELEVATED FORCING AROUND...WILL CONTINUE VCSH
WORDING WITH CB UNTIL AT LEAST 09Z. WE WILL FINE TUNE TRENDS IN
LATER FORECAST.

OTHERWISE...MVFR CIGS TO BECOME VFR BEFORE 12Z SATURDAY MORNING AS
LOW LEVEL DRY AIR ADVECTION CONTINUES IN BEHIND THE COLD FRONT.

05/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 311 PM CST FRI FEB 3 2012/
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP
ACROSS NORTH TEXAS THIS EVENING AHEAD OF A DRY LINE AND COLD
FRONT. THE STRONGEST STORMS EARLY THIS EVENING SHOULD REMAIN
ACROSS THE WESTERN COUNTIES NEAR THE DRY LINE. A FEW SUPERCELLS
ARE POSSIBLE WITH ISOLATED TORNADOES. THE COLD FRONT WILL CATCH
UP TO THE DRY LINE DURING THE EVENING AND STORMS WILL BECOME MORE
LINEAR WITH AN INCREASED THREAT OF DOWNBURSTS. THE LINE OF STORMS
WILL MOVE STEADILY ACROSS NORTH TEXAS THROUGH THE NIGHT AND
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL END QUICKLY FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST.
A FEW STORMS MY LINGER IN THE EAST SATURDAY MORNING.

NORTHERLY WINDS WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT AND SHOULD
REMAIN HIGH ENOUGH TO KEEP TEMPERATURES FROM DROPPING TOO FAR.
MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES SHOULD PERSIST OVER THE WEEKEND AS MID AND
UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE CONTINUES TO STREAM NORTHEASTWARD OVER THE
REGION. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE OVER THE AREA SUNDAY
INTO MONDAY ALLOWING WINDS TO DROP AND LOW TEMPERATURE TO COOL
INTO THE LOWER TO MID 30S ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS.
HAVE ADDED A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ZONES
FOR SUNDAY ASSOCIATED WITH A PASSING SHORT WAVE.

EASTERLY SURFACE FLOW AND PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES WILL
DOMINATE MUCH OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD. A LARGE UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM
WILL DROP SOUTH ALONG THE WEST COAST INTO MEXICO DAYS 6 AND 7.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE PRETTY SIGNIFICANT AT
THIS POINT SO HAVE ONLY INTRODUCED SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS ACROSS
THE AREA AT THIS TIME.
