The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm 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.

The nearest sounding before it

Fort Worth, TX (KFWD), launched 00:00Z, 4.3 hours before the alert went out and 44 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

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 Oct 13, 9:41 PM CDT, 1 hour 35 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 13, 9:41 PM CDT, 1 hour 35 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
941 PM CDT SAT OCT 13 2012

.UPDATE...
MARGINALLY SEVERE STORMS CONTINUE ALONG THE RED RIVER...BUT WITH
THE TORNADIC THREAT DIMINISHED...THE TORNADO WATCH WAS ALLOWED TO
EXPIRE ON TIME (9 PM CDT). 00Z FWD RAOB SHOWED A STRONGLY UNSTABLE
PROFILE THAT IS SO FAR UNTAPPED. FWS VWP STILL SHOWING 50-KT WINDS
AT 3-4KFT AGL. THIS STRONG LOW-LEVEL WARM ADVECTION...VEERING
SHEAR PROFILE...AND STRONG MID-LEVEL WINDS WILL REMAIN SUPPORTIVE
OF STRONG UPDRAFTS. BUT AS THE INFLOW BECOMES NEARLY PARALLEL TO
THE MEAN STORM MOTION...THE LINE SHOULD CONGEAL FURTHER...LIKELY
UNZIPPING SOUTHWESTWARD INTO THE METROPLEX AROUND MIDNIGHT OR
THEREAFTER. ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE
OVERNIGHT...WITH DAMAGING WINDS BEING THE PRIMARY THREAT WITH THIS
CONVECTIVE MODE.

25

&&

.AVIATION...
NO REAL CHANGE TO ONGOING TAF FORECAST. STILL EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS
TO AFFECT METROPLEX TERMINALS BETWEEN 4Z-8Z/11PM-3 AM. CONVECTION
IS EXPECTED TO BE IN THE FORM OF SHORT LINE SEGMENTS/TRAINING
CLUSTERS. THIS MAY RESULT IN AN HOUR OR TWO OF THUNDERSTORM AT A
PARTICULAR AIRPORT...RESULTING IN A LONG GROUND STOP. WILL
CONTINUE TO MONITOR CONVECTIVE TRENDS AND UPDATE AS NEEDED.

OTHERWISE WINDS WILL BE SOUTH AT 15KT THIS EVENING AND SWITCH TO
THE WEST WHEN STORMS/FRONT ARRIVE. WINDS SHOULD BECOME NORTHWEST
AT 10KT TOMORROW MORNING WITH CLEARING SKIES. NO AVIATION CONCERNS
FOR TOMORROW. TR.92

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 303 PM CDT SAT OCT 13 2012/
SHORTWAVE THIS MORNING NOW TRACKING NORTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA AND
HAS PRODUCED SCATTERED SHOWERS WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY
ALONG AND WEST OF INTERSTATE 35W/35E. WITH A RELATIVELY STRONG
CAP THIS MORNING...THIS FIRST DISTURBANCE WILL ACT AS SOMEWHAT OF
A PRIMER TO LIFT AND WEAKEN THE CAP IN ADVANCE OF THE LARGE SCALE
ASCENT THAT IS NOW ENTERING NORTHWEST TEXAS. A PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH
FROM JUST WEST OF WICHITA FALLS TO NEAR SWEETWATER WAS BECOMING
ACTIVE THIS AFTERNOON WITH A FEW SUPERCELLS DEVELOPING IN THE
VICINITY OF HASKELL AS OF THE PAST HOUR. WE EXPECT THE PACIFIC
COLD FRONT FURTHER WEST OVER THE TEXAS PANHANDLE TO EVENTUALLY
OVERTAKE THE PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON WITH
INCREASING STORMS ACROSS OUR FAR WESTERN COUNTIES BY MID-LATE
AFTERNOON. CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURE IS AROUND 85 DEGREES PER THIS
MORNINGS FWD SOUNDING AND AMDAR VAPOR AND WE ARE JUST A FEW
DEGREES BELOW THAT. WITH THIS ALL IN MIND...OUR FIRST WATCH OF
THE DAY HAS BEEN ISSUED ACROSS OUR NORTHWEST COUNTIES. TORNADO
WATCH 661 IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM NORTHWEST OF AN
EASTLAND...MINERAL WELLS...SAINT JO LINE.

WE DO EXPECT THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT TO RAMP UP ACROSS THE
WESTERN HALF OF NORTH TEXAS IN THE 4-7 PM TIME FRAME...AS THE
LARGE SCALE ASCENT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. WITH MORE OF A CAP
TO ERODE ACROSS NORTH TEXAS VERSUS OKLAHOMA...ITS LIKELY THE
STORM MODE WILL BE MORE CELLULAR INITIALLY VERSUS A SOLID SQUALL
LINE THAT IS EXPECTED FURTHER TO THE NORTH. MLCAPE NOW ACROSS THE
WESTERN COUNTIES IS 1000-1500 J/KG WITH 0-3KM/0-1KM HELICITIES
RANGING FROM 150-300 M2/S2 ACROSS THE WATCH AREA. THROW IN 0-6KM
BULK SHEAR ON THE ORDER OF 45-50KTS INDICATES THAT WIND FIELDS
WILL BE MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR THE ORGANIZATION OF STRONG TO SEVERE
STORMS. INITIAL THREATS INTO EARLY EVENING WILL BE LARGE HAIL...
DAMAGING WINDS AND THE POSSIBILITY OF A TORNADO WITH CELLS
REMAINING DISCRETE. BY MID EVENING... A 40-50 KT LLJ WILL LIKELY
CONGEAL STORMS INTO A LINEAR MCS...WHICH WILL MOVE SOUTH AND EAST
OVERNIGHT AND SLOW DOWN. WE THINK THE GREATEST SEVERE WEATHER
RISK WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE NORTHWEST HALF OF THE CWA...THEN
BECOME MORE LOCALIZED WITH A POSSIBLE INCREASING HYDROLOGICAL
SITUATION FOR OUR SOUTHEAST HALF OF THE CWA OVERNIGHT AND EARLY
SUNDAY MORNING...THOUGH A VEERING LLJ OVERNIGHT SHOULD KEEP ANY
FLOODING MINOR AND LOCALIZED.

WE EXPECT THE PACIFIC FRONT TO CONTINUE ITS SOUTHEAST MIGRATION
THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS SUNDAY AND LIKELY ENDING RAIN CHANCES
ACROSS OUR CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST TEXAS COUNTIES BY EARLY
AFTERNOON. DRY AIR WILL THEN INFILTRATE INTO THE AREA BY SUNDAY
EVENING AND INTO THE FIRST HALF OF THE WORK WEEK WITH HIGHS IN
THE 80S AND LOWS IN THE 50S AND LOWER 60S. A WEAK SOUTHERN BRANCH
SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE ACROSS SOUTH TEXAS LATE TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY...BUT NOTHING IS EXPECTED ACROSS NORTH TEXAS OUTSIDE OF
INCREASING SOUTH WINDS AND SOME MODIFIED MOISTURE RETURN BACK
NORTH ACROSS MAINLY EAST TEXAS AND THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.
ACCOMPANYING COLD FRONT WILL ARRIVE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY
AND HAVE PUSHED BEST RAIN CHANCES TO THIS TIME PERIOD MAINLY EAST
OF I-35. SEE ENOUGH FORCING WITH THE FRONT AND LAPSE RATES ALOFT
FOR THE MENTION OF THUNDER WITH THIS FRONT.

FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...AN UPPER LOW DEEPENS OVER THE UPPER
MIDWEST AND GREAT LAKES...HELPING TO KEEP A DRY AND COOL
CONTINENTAL AIRMASS ACROSS NORTH TEXAS. AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES
TOWARD NEW ENGLAND NEXT WEEKEND...WE SHOULD SEE AN UPPER RIDGE
ESTABLISH OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WITH A RETURN OF BREEZY SOUTH
WINDS AND WARMER TEMPERATURES ONCE AGAIN.
