What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this flash flood 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 flash flood warning went out at Jun 17, 1:24 PM CDT, 1 hour 51 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 17, 1:24 PM CDT, 1 hour 51 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
124 PM CDT WED JUN 17 2015

.AVIATION...

FOR THE 18Z TAFS...THE IMPACTS OF THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM
BILL IS THE PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN OVER THE NEXT 12 TO 24
HOURS.

THE CENTER OF THE REMNANTS OF BILL WAS LOCATED NEAR THE
TARRANT/PARKER/JOHNSON COUNTY BORDERS AS OF 1 PM. TO THE EAST OF
THIS CIRCULATION...PERSISTENT LIGHT RAIN WITH SOME MODERATE RAIN
SHOWERS MIXED IN WERE MOVING OVER ALL DFW AREA TAF SITES. THE
SMALL RAIN DROP SIZE WAS HOLDING VISIBILITIES DOWN TO 2 MILES OR
BELOW DESPITE RELATIVELY LOW RAINFALL RATES ACROSS THE DFW AREA.
IFR VISIBILITIES WILL LIKELY CONTINUE UNTIL AT LEAST 21Z. RADAR
AND SATELLITE OBSERVATIONS SHOWED SOME DRIER AIR MIXING INTO THE
REMNANTS OF BILL FROM THE SOUTHWEST. IF SOME OF THIS DRIER AIR CAN
WORK IN OVER THE DFW AREA THIS AFTERNOON...CONDITIONS SHOULD
IMPROVE TO MVFR. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN RELATIVELY STRONG
AND SUSTAINED AT AROUND 20 TO 25 MPH...GUSTING TO 30 TO 35 MPH
THROUGH SUNSET.

DRIER AIR WORKING IN MAY ALSO ALLOW FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS OF
HEATING. BECAUSE THERE IS NO CAP IN PLACE...ANY HEATING MAY CAUSE
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP OR INTENSIFY. KEPT
A MENTION OF VICINITY SHOWERS IN THE TAFS THROUGH THIS EVENING DUE
TO THE POTENTIAL FOR THIS REDEVELOPMENT. THINK THE COVERAGE WILL
REMAIN SCATTERED IN NATURE ONCE THE REMNANTS OF BILL MOVE NORTH OF
THE DFW AREA. WITH BILL ALREADY WELL NORTH OF WACO, ONLY SCATTERED
SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS
ACROSS CENTRAL TEXAS.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY DEVELOP ONCE AGAIN TOMORROW DURING
THE PEAK HEATING HOURS OF THE DAY...HOWEVER CONFIDENCE IN THE
EXACT TIMING AND COVERAGE OF STORMS ACROSS THE REGION TOMORROW
REMAINS TOO LOW TO PLACE A MENTION OF THUNDERSTORMS AT THE END OF
THE DFW 30 HOUR TAF.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1130 AM CDT WED JUN 17 2015/

TD BILL CONTINUES TO DUMP CONSIDERABLE RAINFALL OVER ITS
