Did it verify

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

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 Dec 26, 12:16 PM CST, 1 hour 27 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 26, 12:16 PM CST, 1 hour 27 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
1216 PM CST SAT DEC 26 2015

.DISCUSSION...
TRICKY FORECAST...AS NEARLY ALL AVAILABLE GUIDANCE SUGGESTS IFR
CONDITIONS ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT. OBSERVATIONAL DATA HAS MVFR
CEILINGS ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA. AT NOON...THERE IS EVEN A FEW
BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS...WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO HELP DESTABILIZE AN
ALREADY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE. EXPECTING THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP
AND INTENSIFY FOR BOTH THE AFTERNOON HOURS AND OVERNIGHT...WITH A
TWO TO FOUR HOUR PERIOD WHERE PREVAILING THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE...CENTERED AROUND 06Z SUNDAY.

EXPECT FRONTAL PASSAGE IN THE METROPLEX TO OCCUR LATE THIS
EVENING...AND ONCE THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH...CONDITIONS WILL
FURTHER DETERIORATE.

FOX

&&

.AVIATION...
/ISSUED 556 AM CST SAT DEC 26 2015/
MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL PREVAIL THROUGH TODAY WITH MVFR CIGS
LIKELY. SOME IFR IS POSSIBLE...AND MOS SEEMS ESPECIALLY ADAMANT
ON AN IFR OR LIFR CIG FORECAST THROUGH TODAY. HOWEVER CURRENT
TEMPERATURES ARE NEARLY EQUAL TO UPSTREAM DEWPOINTS AND THIS RULE
OF THUMB SUGGESTS IFR THREAT MAY BE OVER. OTHERWISE WILL SHOW VCSH
THROUGH THE DAY FOR SHOWERS THAT WILL STREAM ACROSS THE AREA.
MOST RAIN ACTIVITY WILL BE LIGHT AND BRIEF. WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN
EYE OUT FOR MORE INTENSE CONVECTION/THUNDERSTORMS THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING...BUT RIGHT NOW THE CHANCE FOR THIS IS TOO LOW
TO DELINEATE ANY ONE HOUR SO WILL HAVE TO LEAVE IT OUT OF THE TAF.
SOUTH WINDS WILL INCREASE TODAY TO NEAR 20KT AND GUSTY.

PREFER THE HI-RES MODELS WHICH SHOW A SLIGHTLY EARLIER COLD
FRONTAL PASSAGE...PUTTING IT THROUGH KAFW AROUND 3Z...DFW AROUND
5Z...AND WACO AROUND 7Z. WINDS WILL BECOME NORTHERLY BEHIND THE
FRONT AND RAIN/STORM CHANCES WILL ALSO INCREASE NEAR AND JUST
BEHIND THE FRONT SO WILL SHOW SHRA AND VCTS AFTER FROPA.
STRONGEST PERIOD OF UPPER LEVEL FORCING OCCURS AFTER 7 OR 8Z /1AM
OR 2AM TONIGHT/ AND WILL INDICATE PREVAILING TSRA THROUGH EARLY
MORNING SUNDAY.
