JLDUNNWhat 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 May 8, 7:00 PM CDT, 5 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 8, 7:00 PM CDT, 5 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX 700 PM CDT FRI MAY 8 2015 .AVIATION... /00Z TAFS/ CONCERNS CONTINUE REGARDING CONVECTIVE TIMING AND MAIN WINDOW FOR TSRA ACROSS DFW METRO TERMINALS. IN ADDITION...THE CONVECTION IS MAKING TIMING MVFR CIGS BACK INTO THE REGION DIFFICULT DUE TO MIXING FROM STORMS. A LITTLE PATCHY HIGH MVFR WAS AROUND KGKY...HOWEVER WE EXPECT VFR CIGS TO PREVAIL TO 04Z-05Z WITH MVFR CIGS PREVAILING UNTIL AFTER 18Z SATURDAY. INFLOW INTO STORMS TO THE NORTHWEST HAVE RESULTED IN GUSTY SE WINDS AROUND 15 KTS...THOUGH GUSTS SHOULD SETTLE BY 02Z-03Z UNTIL THUNDERSTORMS ARRIVE. WE WILL HAVE A BETTER WINDOW FOR THE TEMPO GROUP FOR STORMS AS THE SYSTEM EVOLVES...AS EVEN HIGH RES MODELS HAVE STRUGGLED WITH CONVECTIVE EVOLUTION AND TIMING THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS. OVERNIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING...WILL CARRY SOME -RA/-SHRA WITH VCTS REMAINING...AS MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES REMAIN HIGH. OTHERWISE...AFTERNOON COMPLEX OF STORMS NEAR WACO HAS MOVED NORTHEAST OF THE TERMINAL. VFR HIGH CIGS SHOULD LAST TIL 02Z-03Z AT WHICH TIME MVFR CIGS RETURN WITH THE LLJ INCREASING ACROSS THE AREA. ELEVATED -RA/-SHRA AND VCTS WILL RETURN DURING THE LATER OVERNIGHT HOURS AND SATURDAY MORNING AS A SHORTWAVE MOVES ACROSS. 05/ && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 349 PM CDT FRI MAY 8 2015/ THE ATMOSPHERE ACROSS NORTH TEXAS THIS AFTERNOON WAS MOIST AND UNSTABLE AS PER THE 18Z FWD SOUNDING. THIS SOUNDING ALSO INDICATED THAT A CAP OF WARM AIR WAS STILL IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION. WE EXPECT THE CAP TO BREAK IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS WITH SOME ADDITIONAL SURFACE HEATING. SCATTERED STORMS SHOULD DEVELOP THROUGH THE EVENING AS A SHORT WAVE EMBEDDED IN SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT TRANSLATES ACROSS THE REGION. WE ALSO EXPECT STORMS ACROSS WEST TEXAS TO BUILD SOUTHWARD IN A LINE AS THE MOVE NORTHEAST. THESE STORMS WILL HAVE A POTENTIAL TO IMPACT THE NORTHWEST ZONES THROUGH THE EVENING. ALL STORMS THAT DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT WILL HAVE A POTENTIAL TO BECOME SEVERE. THERE IS ALSO A THREAT FOR TORNADOES THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHWEST ZONES WHERE LOW LEVEL SHEAR IS MOST FAVORABLE. ALL STORMS WILL ALSO BE EFFICIENT RAIN MAKERS AND MAY PRODUCE SOME FLOODING...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN ZONES WHERE HEAVY RAIN FELL ON THURSDAY. THEREFORE...WE WILL KEEP THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS TONIGHT. THE UPPER LOW THAT IS CURRENT LOCATED OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WILL MOVE EAST TO THE FOUR CORNERS REGION BY SATURDAY MORNING. NORTH TEXAS MAY INITIALLY START OUT THE MORNING WITH LARGE SCALE SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THE EXITING SHORT WAVE. HOWEVER...THE ATMOSPHERE SHOULD RECOVER THROUGH THE DAY AND ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP. STORMS ON SATURDAY WILL ALSO HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME SEVERE DUE TO REMAINING MOISTURE... INSTABILITY AND SHEAR. IT IS DIFFICULT TO SAY WHERE THE BEST STORM COVERAGE WILL BE ON SATURDAY SINCE IT WILL LARGELY HINGE ON WHAT HAPPENS OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. HOWEVER...THE BEST LARGE SCALE FORCING AND INSTABILITY SHOULD RESIDE ACROSS THE NORTHWEST HALF OF THE CWA. THE UPPER LOW IS PROGGED TO LIFT ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY WHICH WILL ALLOW A PRE- FRONTAL TROUGH AND COLD FRONT TO ENTER INTO THE STATE. THE SURFACE TROUGH/DRY LINE SHOULD MOVE INTO THE WESTERN ZONES DURING THE DAY SUNDAY AND BECOME A FOCUS FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. STORMS SHOULD BECOME ORIENTED ALONG THIS SURFACE BOUNDARY AND HAVE A GOOD POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE HEAVY RAINFALL. SEVERE STORMS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE. WE WILL ALLOW LATER SHIFTS TO ASSESS THE NEED FOR A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR SUNDAY BASED ON WHERE THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL OCCURS TONIGHT AND SATURDAY. THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS SHOULD FINALLY MOVE EAST OF THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT/MONDAY AND ALLOW A COLD FRONT TO MOVE THROUGH NORTH TEXAS. RAIN CHANCES WILL DECREASE FROM NORTH TO SOUTH THROUGH THE DAY MONDAY AS DRIER AIR WORKS IN FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS. MODELS CONTINUE TO STALL THE COLD FRONT ACROSS THE HILL COUNTRY MONDAY NIGHT AND LEAVE IT NEARLY STATIONARY THROUGH TUESDAY. LIFT OVER THE FRONT WILL KEEP SOME GOOD RAIN/STORM CHANCES IN THE SOUTHERN ZONES MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. THE FRONT IS PROGGED TO LIFT NORTHWEST ON WEDNESDAY IN RESPONSE TO ANOTHER DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IN THE WEST. THIS SYSTEM SHOULD BRING ADDITIONAL SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES TO NORTH TEXAS THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. 79 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... DALLAS-FT.
