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 Apr 13, 7:14 AM CDT, 3 hours 33 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 13, 7:14 AM CDT, 3 hours 33 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Fort Worth TX
714 AM CDT Sat Apr 13 2019

.AVIATION...
/12 UTC TAF Cycle/

Concerns---Periodic TS and ceiling trends. Non-thunderstorm winds.

Summary: Very poor flying conditions are likely today at all
North/Central Texas terminals.

Confidence in TS/ceiling forecast: Medium to High.

Confidence in Non-TS winds: Medium.

The first wave of TSRA will continue to lift northward from
Metroplex TAFs, but impacts to northbound departures and the
Bonham and Bowie cornerposts will continue. SHRA will likely
continue through the morning and into the afternoon. The next
opportunity for TSRA will be from mid morning through the
afternoon when activity will approach from the southwest and
south. Gusty winds, poor vsby and small hail will be possible
with this activity. IFR ceilings will complicate things as well,
and while brief improvements have been noted at some sites, it's
probable that IFR will be the rule for most of today. LIFR is
possible at Waco as a warm front lifts northward.

Non-thunderstorm winds will increase drastically this afternoon,
with north winds sustained near 25 knots with gusts as high as 35
knots at all sites. An AWW will likely be needed to address these
wind speeds. The potential for TSRA should come to an end by 00
UTC Sunday, but there's a chance that there could be some elevated
storms beyond this period as an upper low tracks overhead. Future
TAFs will need to keep tabs on this potential. VFR does not
appear that it will return until after midnight for Metroplex
terminals, though it'll be a little sooner at Waco (around 2100
UTC Sat). Breezy north winds will prevail even during the
nighttime hours.

.DISCUSSION... /Issued 401 AM CDT Sat Apr 13 2019/
The main focus in the short term period will be the threat for
strong to severe thunderstorms and heavy rain across the area. In
addition, there is the potential for strong to near severe-caliber
non-thunderstorm winds. But wait! There's more...there's a non-
zero chance for some light wintry precipitation north of the US
HWY 380 corridor early Sunday!

Surface analysis early this morning indicated a diffuse surface
warm front waffled near an Ozona to Giddings to Huntsville line.
Numerous pre-warm frontal showers and thunderstorms have erupted
in a regime characterized by steep lapse rates as evidenced by our
06 UTC FWD RAOB (in support of VORTEX-SE). The current radar
presentation along with RAP mesoanalysis suggests that this WAA
shower/storm activity will continue over the next several hours.
As a result, there will be an ever present severe hail threat with
this elevated activity as we've already observed near 2" diameter
hail in East TX. The latest HRRR seems to have captured the
evolution of the ongoing radar presentation and I see no reason to
deviate from its output for PoPs today. As the very impressive
upper trough swings eastward this morning and into the afternoon,
intense cyclogenesis is progged to occur and the surface low
should ride the aformentioned warm front into the Hill Country. As
this occurs, increasing baroclinicity should continue to fuel
showers and thunderstorms as the warm sector grows to encompass
portions of Central and East Texas. There is still a chance that
pre-warm frontal convection may impede the boundary's northward
progress, such that it remains south of our Central and East Texas
counties. At this time, I'm finding it hard to believe that this
will come to fruition (given the strong model consensus), but it
is still worth keeping an eye on.

The key message in this is that locations on the cool side of
the warm front (north of the warm front) will mainly see a risk of
heavy rain and large hail associated with elevated storms (likely
supercells). This is primarily due to very steep 700-500mb lapse
rates near 8.5 C/km, deep layer shear values around 60 knots and
MUCAPE values near 1000 J/kg. Locations to the south will have
be in an environment characterized by MLCAPE values near 2000
J/kg and very strong to extreme values of 0-1 km shear (in excess
of 40 knots). This will support all modes of severe weather,
including tornadoes. It should be noted that the risk for
thunderstorms after the noon time hour across East Texas and the
Brazos Valley has increased some and this would certainly mean
that some of our area could get in on some of the more significant
severe weather. At this time, it still appears, however, that a
bulk of the intense activity will remain deeper into East Texas
this afternoon. With repeated waves of rain and storms, a flood
threat may materialize, especially along the Red River. The fast
storm motions, may mitigate a more appreciable threat and as a
result, we will forgo any Flood/Flash Flood watches. Isolated
instances of flooding/flash flooding cannot be ruled out.

Strong non-thunderstorm winds are also expected late this
afternoon and into the overnight hours across the western half of
the area as the surface pressure gradient really tightens. I've
hoisted a Wind Advisory that runs from 21 UTC Saturday through 12
UTC Sunday, though some alterations to the product may be needed.
Conceptual models suggest that there could be some sort of sting
jet that sets up on the backside of the low. Given that there will
be some precipitation occurring on the backside of this system
associated with the TROWAL, we may see enough downward momentum
transfer due to evaporative effects which could result in some
very strong winds across the northern Big Country and possibly
into western North Texas. In fact HRRR, TTU WRF and NAM NEST
guidance has been insistent on a corridor of very intense wind
gusts (greater than 50 knots) from near and northwest of a
Gainesville to Weatherford to Eastland line. At this time, I'll
hold off on a High Wind Watch/Warning, but one may be needed if these
trends continue.

As the upper level low ejects out into the southern plains, there
will be the potential for cold core convection beneath the low
center. I'll keep PoPs in the chance to likely category as it
lifts northward. There may be a hail risk with the more vigorous
convection. As mentioned above, this upper low will induce a
TROWAL as it exits into the Ark-La-Tex and with some decent WAA
and resultant FGEN, there is the potential for some banded
precipitation. Most model guidance supports mainly a cold rain
after tonight, but the NAM suggests that a few snow flakes may mix
in along the Red River. For now, will show an all rain forecast,
but this will be another element to monitor.

The first part of next week will be generally quiet as shortwave
ridging dominates the weather. That will change around the mid-
week time frame as return flow sets up across the area. Dewpoints
are expected to creep back up into the low to mid 60s with a very
sharp dryline forecast to set up and mix eastward towards the I-35
corridor. A majority of the forcing for ascent will lift into
Oklahoma with likely capping across North and East Texas. The
dryline should slide eastward which should yield showers and
thunderstorms. Given that instability and wind shear will be
available, we will likely have to contend with another threat for
severe weather.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for North and Central Texas.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.

Storms across most of North and Central Texas will support a hail
threat throughout today. The greatest potential for severe
thunderstorms will be roughly southeast of a Temple to Athens line
where a tornado or damaging wind threat may organize later this
morning. There will also be a heavy rain and flood potential for
locales near and north of the US HWY 380 corridor.

Very strong non-thunderstorm winds will be possible during the
afternoon and overnight hours. Northerly winds of 25 to 35 MPH with
gusts to near 50 MPH will be possible, especially near and west of
I-35.

Thunderstorms may linger late tonight near and north of I-20 and
could pose a hail threat.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday.

After a brief reprieve from storm chances early in the week,
additional thunderstorms are possible late Tuesday through Thursday.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is likely this morning and into the early
afternoon across a good portion of North and Central Texas.
