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 Dec 19, 6:47 PM CST, 4 hours 18 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 19, 6:47 PM CST, 4 hours 18 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
647 PM CST WED DEC 19 2012

.UPDATE...
HAVE UPDATED THE FORECAST TO INCLUDE HIGHER POPS ACROSS ROUGHLY
THE EASTERN HALF OF THE AREA. 0Z SOUNDING AND MORE RECENT ACARS
DATA SHOWS VERY IMPRESSIVE DYNAMIC LIFT IS OCCURRING OVER THE AREA
RIGHT NOW. THE CAP HAS BEEN ESSENTIALLY ERODED AND PARCELS JUST
ABOVE THE SURFACE ARE CONDITIONALLY UNSTABLE. MOISTURE REMAINS A
LIMITING FACTOR...BUT GIVEN THE DYNAMIC SUPPORT FOR LIFT AND THE
STRONG CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY...WE SHOULD SEE
CONVECTION FIRE ALONG THE FRONT AS IT REACHES A GAINESVILLE TO DFW
TO LAMPASAS LINE. CONVECTION WILL LIKELY FILL INTO A BROKEN OR
SOLID LINE ALONG THE FRONT AS IT MOVES THROUGH THE EASTERN ZONES
WHERE WE HAVE BUMPED UP POPS TO 40 PERCENT. SEVERE THREAT IS A BIT
AMBIGUOUS GIVEN LIMITED INSTABILITY VALUES...BUT SHEAR WILL BE
STRONG AND STORMS ALONG THE FRONT MAY BRING STRONG WINDS ALOFT
DOWN TO THE SURFACE. TR.92

&&

.AVIATION...
A DRYLINE STRETCHES FROM A DEEP SURFACE LOW OVER NORTHERN OK
SOUTHWARD TO JUST WEST OF NORTH TEXAS. AHEAD OF THE
BOUNDARY...SOUTH WINDS HAVE DECREASED WITH THE SETTING SUN TO
MAINLY IN THE 15-20 KT RANGE. WE SHOULD SEE THE DRYLINE MAKE A
PUSH TO THE EAST THIS EVENING AS A STRONG UPPER LOW MIGRATES EAST
ACROSS THE PLAINS. WILL CONTINUE WITH THE WIND SHIFT TO THE WEST
IN THE METROPLEX AT 04Z AND WACO AT 05Z...WITH SUSTAINED SPEEDS
INCREASING TO AROUND 20KTS. A STRONG COLD FRONT CURRENTLY DRIVING
SOUTHEAST THROUGH WESTERN OK AND NORTHWEST TX WILL QUICKLY FOLLOW
THE DRYLINE...BRINGING MORE OF A NORTHWESTERLY COMPONENT TO THE
SURFACE WINDS AND EVEN HIGHER SPEEDS. WILL INDICATE FROPA AT 06Z
AND KEEP AN EYE ON THE BOUNDARY AS IT APPROACHES THIS EVENING.
THERE COULD BE A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS WITH THE FRONT BUT AT THIS
TIME IT APPEARS THAT THE BEST POTENTIAL FOR PRECIP WILL BE WELL
EAST OF THE TAF SITES.

FOR DFW...CROSS WIND ISSUES WILL BE PREVALENT THROUGH MOST OF THE
NIGHT. WINDS WILL REMAIN GUSTY DURING THE DAY THURSDAY BUT SHOULD
BE AROUND 10KT LESS THAN THE UPCOMING OVERNIGHT PERIOD. WINDS WILL
SUBSIDE THURSDAY EVENING AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST.

30

&&

.PREV UPDATE...
.UPDATE...
HAVE EXPIRED THE WIND ADVISORY THAT WAS IN EFFECT OVER THE SOUTH
CENTRAL ZONES. ANOTHER WIND ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR ALL OF
NORTH TEXAS FOR THE STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT
TONIGHT. THESE WINDS TONIGHT WILL BE STRONGER THAN TODAY...WITH
GUSTS OVER THE NORTHWEST ZONES LIKELY PUSHING 45-50 MPH...TAPERING
DOWN TO 35-40 MPH GUSTS OVER THE SOUTHEAST ZONES. OTHERWISE HAVE
PULLED THE RED FLAG WARNING EARLY AS WINDS HAVE DIMINISHED WITH
THE LOSS OF HEATING.

NO OTHER SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE FORECAST...BUT MADE SOME
UPDATES TO THE HOURLY GRIDS TO SHOW THE SHARP CHANGES WITH THE
DRY LINE AND COLD FRONT LATER TONIGHT.

OF NOTE IS THE HRRR DEVELOPING RAIN ALONG THE FRONT FARTHER TO THE
WEST...POSSIBLE AFFECTING THE I-35 CORRIDOR THIS EVENING. MAY HAVE
TO PULL THE POPS BACK TO THE WEST...BUT WILL AWAIT THE FULL 0Z
FWD SOUNDING AND LOOK OVER A FEW MORE THINGS BEFORE TOUCHING THE
POP FORECAST. A PRELIM LOOK AT THE 0Z SOUNDING DOES SHOW THE CAP
HAS BEEN LIFTED AND REMOVED FROM THE AREA.

TR.92

&&

.SHORT TERM...
DESPITE PERSISTENT CLOUD COVER AND THE WEAK DECEMBER SUN...THE
DROUGHT-PARCHED GROUND ALLOWED TEMPS TO SOAR TO RECORD HIGHS AT
BOTH DFW AND WACO. THIS OCCURRED WITH DUE SOUTH WINDS AND
AFTERNOON DEW POINTS NEAR 60F. (DFW SET ITS RECORD BEFORE NOON.)

DESPITE CONSIDERABLE LIFT WITH THIS POTENT STORM SYSTEM...MOISTURE
REMAINS VERY SHALLOW. THERE WILL BE A BRIEF WINDOW FOR CONVECTION
IN FAR EASTERN ZONES...WITH THE FLOW QUICKLY VEERING THIS EVENING.

DRIER AIR HAS MIXED TO THE SURFACE IN FAR WESTERN ZONES...BUT THE
DRYLINE REMAINS TO THE WEST. AT 3 PM...ABILENE (KABI) HAD A DEW
POINT OF 47 WHILE 50 MILES TO THE WEST IN SWEETWATER (KSWW) THE
DEW POINT WAS 19. BLOWING DUST CONTINUES ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS OF
WEST TEXAS...WHERE WINDS HAVE GUSTED TO 60 MPH. A COLD FRONT HAS
NOW ENTERED THE PANHANDLE AND WILL CONTINUE DRIVING SOUTH. THE
DRYLINE WILL REACH THE I-35 THIS EVENING...WITH THE FRONT QUICKLY
OVERTAKING IT. THE ENTIRE CWA WILL BE UNDER A WIND ADVISORY BY THE
06-12Z (MIDNIGHT-6 AM CST) TIME FRAME. SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS WILL
OCCASIONALLY TOP 30 MPH...WITH PEAK GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 40 MPH.

LIGHT WINDS THURSDAY NIGHT WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO PLUMMET
AREAWIDE. A HARD FREEZE WILL OCCUR FRIDAY MORNING...WITH LOWS
DIPPING INTO THE TEENS IN LOW-LYING AND OTHER OUTLYING AREAS.

25

&&

.LONG TERM...
GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SUGGEST A WEAK SHORTWAVE WILL SWING THROUGH
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS CHRISTMAS EVE...WELL IN ADVANCE OF THE STORM
SYSTEM STILL IN THE NORTH PACIFIC. THIS WILL FORCE A WEAK FRONTAL
BOUNDARY INTO NORTH TEXAS...BUT THE ARCTIC PUSH WILL NOT OCCUR
UNTIL TUESDAY NIGHT. THE POTENTIAL REMAINS FOR LINGERING
PRECIPITATION WELL BEHIND THE ARCTIC INTRUSION...SUPPORTED BY BOTH
THE ECMWF AND CANADIAN. THE OPERATIONAL GFS IS CURRENTLY LESS
FAVORABLE...BUT ENSEMBLE MEMBER SPREAD REMAINS TOO LARGE TO HAVE
CONFIDENCE IN ONE SINGLE SOLUTION. THE AFTERNOON PACKAGE ENDS
PRECIPITATION DURING CHRISTMAS DAY WELL BEFORE TEMPERATURES ARE
COLD ENOUGH TO SUPPORT SNOW.

25

&&

FIRE WEATHER DANGER IS EXPECTED TO BE VERY HIGH ACROSS ALL OF
NORTH AND CENTRAL TEXAS THURSDAY...WITH SLIGHTLY LOWER FIRE
WEATHER DANGER ON FRIDAY.

ON THURSDAY...WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN OUT OF THE NORTHWEST AT
20 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 35 MPH. AFTERNOON RELATIVE HUMIDITY
VALUES WILL FALL BELOW 25 PERCENT FOR ALL OF NORTH TEXAS...WITH
AFTERNOON RH VALUES FALLING TO 15 PERCENT WEST OF INTERSTATE 35.
THE COMBINATION OF WINDS AND LOW RH MAKES IT NEARLY CERTAIN TO
VERIFY RED FLAG WARNING CONDITIONS ACROSS ALL OF NORTH TX
TOMORROW. WE DID NOT ISSUE A FIRE WEATHER WATCH TODAY THOUGH
BECAUSE HIGH TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY ARE ONLY EXPECTED TO TOP OUT
IN THE MID 50S. THESE COOL TEMPERATURES WILL HELP KEEP FUEL
TEMPERATURES DOWN WHICH DOES NOT SUPPORT ERRATIC OR CRITICAL FIRE
BEHAVIOR BECAUSE LOW FUEL TEMPERATURES WILL MAKE IT HARDER TO
START AND SPREAD GRASS FIRES. REGARDLESS...FIRE WEATHER DANGER
WILL REMAIN VERY HIGH...AND OUTDOOR BURNING IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
