What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this tornado 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 tornado warning went out at Nov 5, 3:31 PM CST, 1 hour 2 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Nov 5, 3:31 PM CST, 1 hour 2 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
331 PM CST THU NOV 5 2015

.DISCUSSION...

OUR UNUSUALLY WARM AND HUMID NOVEMBER WEATHER WILL END THIS
WEEKEND.

A LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION HAS MOVED INTO THE NORTHWEST
COUNTIES THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL PROGRESS THROUGH MUCH OF THE CWA
THIS EVENING. FORCING FOR ASCENT WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE
THROUGH THIS EVENING AS A STRONG SHORT WAVE MOVES ACROSS THE GREAT
PLAINS. AHEAD OF THE SHORT WAVE IS A 100+ KNOT JET THAT EXTENDS
DOWN INTO NORTH TEXAS WITH THE REAR ENTRANCE REGION ALOFT AIDING
FORCING FROM ABOVE. A DRYLINE OVER WEST TEXAS IS AIDING LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE AND HELPING TO PUSH THIS CONVECTIVE LINE ACROSS THE
REGION. THE ATMOSPHERE AHEAD OF THIS ACTIVITY IS UNSTABLE AND HAS
ENOUGH SFC-1KM HELICITY TO PRODUCE STRONG ROTATING UPDRAFTS. THUS SOME
TORNADOES...LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH
MID EVENING AT LEAST. THE ACTIVITY COMING OUT OF THE TEXAS HILL
COUNTRY IS OF CONCERN AS IT CONTINUES TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE
THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING. LATER THIS EVENING...THIS
SYSTEM AND THE UPSTREAM LINEAR CONVECTION WILL LIKELY CONGEAL INTO
ONE EXTENSIVE BAND OF RAIN/STORMS. THIS WILL RESULT IN HEAVY RAIN
CORES AND ECHO TRAINING THAT WILL PRODUCE RAIN SWATCHES OF 1 TO 2
INCHES WITH SOME HIGHER AMOUNTS...THUS THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL
REMAIN AS IS THROUGH MIDNIGHT.

THE ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO LINGER OVER THE SOUTHEAST COUNTIES
FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT AS THE SYSTEM BECOMES MORE PARALLEL
TO THE UPPER FLOW. THUS...THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER FLASH
FLOOD WATCH IN THIS TIME PERIOD IF HEAVY RAINFALL OCCURS BEFORE
FRIDAY NIGHT.

THE INITIAL PUSH OF COOLER AIR INTO THE REGION ON FRIDAY WILL
BRING TEMPERATURES BACK TO NORMAL...THEN AS THE UPPER TROUGH
BECOMES MORE POSITIVELY TILTED...A SECOND SURGE AND MORE WIND
WILL ARRIVE SATURDAY. THIS WILL ALSO PUSH THE RAIN OUT OF THE
SOUTHEAST COUNTIES FOR THE REST OF THE WEEKEND. SUNDAY AND MONDAY
WILL BE DRY AND THE COOLEST SO FAR THIS SEASON WITH LOWS IN THE
40S AND HIGHS IN THE 60S.

TEMPERATURES TURN WARMER TUESDAY AS ANOTHER COLD FRONT NEARS.
THIS FRONT WILL BRING RAIN CHANCES BACK TO THE REGION TUESDAY
NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PUSH
THROUGH ON WEDNESDAY WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY. 75

&&

.AVIATION...

CIGS/VIS HAS BEEN BOUNCING AROUND AREA AIRPORTS THIS MORNING BUT
EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY IMPROVE THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOON. LINE OF
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING OVER NORTHWEST TEXAS WILL BECOME BETTER
ORGANIZED AS THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES AND ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE NW-
SE ACROSS THE TAF SITES GENERALLY FROM 23Z-03Z THOUGH A COUPLE OF
HOURS LATER AT KACT. EXPECT FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND GUSTY WINDS
WITH THESE THUNDERSTORMS.

FAIRLY CONFIDENT ON THE TIMING CONCERNING THIS LINE OF
THUNDERSTORMS...BUT LOWER CONFIDENCE ON WHAT MAY DEVELOP AHEAD OF
THIS LINE. APPEARS THAT THERE WILL BE SCATTERED SHOWERS WITH
EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AHEAD OF THE LINE SO HAVE
SHRA AND VCTS AN HOUR OR SO BEFORE THE LINE MOVES THROUGH BUT WILL
CONTINUE TO MONITOR FOR POSSIBLE UPDATES DEPENDING UPON THE
DEVELOPMENT OF PRECIP THIS AFTERNOON.

FOLLOWING THE LINE OF THE THUNDERSTORMS....MVFR CIGS ARE EXPECTED
FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS BEFORE DRIER AIR STARTS TO MOVE IN AT THE
LOWER LEVELS. VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THEREAFTER THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE TAF PERIOD.
