The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

Did it verify

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

The nearest sounding before it

Fort Worth, TX (KFWD), launched 00:00Z, 7.6 hours before the alert went out and 161 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

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 May 1, 11:41 PM CDT, 2 hours 57 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 1, 11:41 PM CDT, 2 hours 57 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX
1141 PM CDT SUN MAY 1 2016

.AVIATION...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS PARTS OF NORTH
AND CENTRAL TEXAS THIS EVENING IN RESPONSE TO A WEAK UPPER-LEVEL
DISTURBANCE TRAVERSING THE REGION. THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE THE MAIN
CONCERN FOR THIS TAF FORECAST PACKAGE WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS
POSSIBLE AT ALL TAF SITES THROUGH EARLY MONDAY MORNING.

VFR CONDITIONS AND NORTH WINDS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE TAF
PERIOD...ALTHOUGH CIGS AROUND FL040-060 WILL PERSIST THROUGH
MONDAY MORNING BEFORE MOVING EASTWARD BY MIDDAY. BRIEF MVFR CIGS
WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE VICINITY OF ANY RAIN SHOWERS...BUT DO NOT
EXPECT COVERAGE TO BE WIDESPREAD ENOUGH TO WARRANT ANY MENTION IN
THE TAFS AT THIS TIME. SHOULD A LARGER AREA OF SHOWERS DEVELOP AND
APPROACH A TAF SITE...A TEMPO GROUP MAY NEED TO BE INCLUDED TO
MENTION BRIEF CIGS AROUND FL020. THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDER IS TOO
LOW TO INCLUDE IN THE TAFS WITH VERY LIMITED INSTABILITY IN PLACE
NORTH OF THE STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS.
OTHERWISE...SKIES WILL GRADUALLY CLEAR ON MONDAY AFTERNOON WITH
NORTH WINDS OF 10-15 KTS PERSISTING THROUGH MONDAY MONDAY NIGHT.

STALLEY

&&

.UPDATE...
EVENING SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS MID LEVEL CLOUDINESS SPREADING IN
FORM THE WEST AHEAD OF A SHORTWAVE TROUGH. SKIES ARE EXPECTED TO
BECOME OVERCAST OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. AS THE SHORTWAVE
CROSSES THE AREA...LIFT IS EXPECTED TO BE SUFFICIENT FOR SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND PERHAPS A THUNDERSTORM THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
CURRENT FORECAST HANDLES THIS WELL BUT HAVE MADE SOME CHANGES TO
TIMING AS MOST OF THE ACTIVITY SHOULD BE AFTER MIDNIGHT.
LIKEWISE...ANY REMAINING SCATTERED SHOWERS SHOULD BE MOVING OUT OF
THE AREA DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS ON MONDAY. NORTH WINDS 10
TO 15 MPH WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY WITH SKIES CLEARING LATER
IN THE DAY.

DUNN

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 307 PM CDT SUN MAY 1 2016/
A DRY AND COOLER AIRMASS HAS TAKEN OVER NORTH-CENTRAL TX TODAY
WITH A STATIONARY COLD FRONT LOCATED NEAR THE I-10 CORRIDOR
TEXAS. MEANWHILE AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE OVER NORTHERN AZ/NM
WILL CONTINUE TO OPEN UP AND LIFT EAST-NORTHEAST OVER THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS TONIGHT AND MONDAY.

BETTER MOISTURE AND RESULTANT SURFACE-BASED INSTABILITY WILL
REMAIN SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST OF THE CWA NEAR THE STALLED SURFACE
FRONT. AS THE LARGE-SCALE LIFT APPROACHES THIS EVENING...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH
ELEVATED INSTABILITY REMAINING ACROSS THE AREA. SMALL HAIL AND
FREQUENT LIGHTNING WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE AREA WHICH IS
WITHIN THE LOW LEVEL COOL SECTOR...THOUGH RAINFALL IS NOT EXPECTED
TO BE OVERLY HEAVY. ACTIVITY MAY START OFF AS VIRGA...BEFORE THE
ATMOSPHERIC COLUMN BECOMES SATURATED ENOUGH TO TRANSPORT RAIN DOWN
TO THE SURFACE. WE WILL MAINTAIN CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE AREA...DUE
TO THE DRIER COLUMN MOISTURE NEEDING TO BE OVERCOME AND THE
GRADUAL WEAKENING OF THE UPPER DISTURBANCE NORTH OF THE RED RIVER.
BEST RAIN CHANCES WILL BE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST COUNTIES WHERE
SLIGHTLY RICHER PWAT VALUES BETWEEN 1.25-1.5 INCHES WILL EXIST BY
SUNRISE MONDAY.

UPPER LEVEL LIFT WILL TRAIL ACROSS THE AREA MAINLY MONDAY MORNING
WITH LINGERING CHANCES MOSTLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-20...BEFORE
SUBSIDENCE ARRIVES MONDAY AFTERNOON WITH THE DEPARTURE OF THIS
DISTURBANCE. THE MOSTLY CLOUDY...COOL AND SHOWERY CONDITIONS WILL
RESULT IN A COOL START TO THE WEEK WITH HIGHS STRUGGLING THROUGH
THE 60S AND LOWER 70S. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE IN WITH
CLEARING SKIES AND LIKELY OUR COOLEST MORNING OCCURRING ON TUESDAY.
LOWS WILL FALL TO BETWEEN 45 AND 55 DEGREES...BUT SHOULD WARM
READILY BACK INTO THE LOWER 70S UNDER ABUNDANT SUNSHINE. BY LATE
IN THE DAY...A SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCE EMBEDDED WITHIN CYCLONIC
FLOW ALOFT ARRIVES ACROSS NORTHWEST TX AND MAY BRING A LOW CHANCE
FOR A FEW HIGH-BASED STORMS ACROSS OUR NORTHWEST COUNTIES TUESDAY
EVENING. AT THIS TIME...WE DO NOT EXPECT THESE TO PRODUCE HEAVY
RAINFALL OR SEVERE WEATHER AS MOISTURE WILL LIKELY BE BASED IN THE
MID LEVELS. THAT BEING SAID...WE WILL WATCH THIS SYSTEM CLOSELY
AS THEY CAN BE TRICKY TO DIAGNOSE AND CAN CATCH ONE OFF-GUARD.
THIS DISTURBANCE WILL PASS SOUTHEAST OF THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY
WITH CLEARING SKIES AND A WARM UP BACK INTO THE 80S FOR WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON.

A LONGWAVE UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS THE
REMAINDER OF THE WEEK WITH SOUTHERLY BREEZES AND HIGHS WARMING
WELL INTO THE 80S. WITH THE GULF OF MEXICO OPEN FOR BUSINESS...A
GRADUAL UPWARD TREND IN SURFACE DEW POINTS WILL OCCUR BY FRIDAY
INTO SATURDAY WITH THE APPROACH OF YET ANOTHER LARGE UPPER LOW
OVER THE CENTRAL ROCKIES. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE AREA WILL GET
THE CHANCE TO DRY OUT SOME AFTER SOME OF THE RECENT HEAVIER RAINS
ACROSS THE EASTERN COUNTIES.

SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL THEN OCCUR LATER NEXT WEEKEND WITH AN
INCREASE OF CLOUDINESS AND SOME LOW CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS
ACROSS THE NORTHWEST HALF OF THE CWA. OBVIOUSLY THIS FAR OUT...
UNCERTAINTIES ABOUND ON MOISTURE...CAP STRENGTH AND INSTABILITY
REGARDING RAIN CHANCES AND SEVERE POTENTIAL NEXT SUNDAY INTO
MONDAY MAY 9TH. IT/LL TAKE AWHILE BEFORE THIS SYSTEM TRULY GETS
SAMPLED WELL WITHIN THE NORTH AMERICAN U/A NETWORK AND DETAILS
BECOME MORE CLEAR ON ALL THESE PARAMETERS.
