What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this flash flood watch 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 flash flood watch went out at May 16, 2:47 AM CDT, 47 minutes earlier.

...New Long Term...

.SHORT TERM... /Issued 1225 AM CDT Sun May 16 2021/
/Rest of Tonight through Monday/

It's currently all quiet across North and Central Texas tonight
with high cloudiness from convection to the west passing overhead,
but things will begin to change over the next several hours as we
enter a period of active weather that will continue into the next
several days. Satellite and radar imagery show a large area of
ongoing showers and thunderstorms across West Texas. This activity
is moving in our general direction, but should continue to weaken
as instability wanes.

Meanwhile, the latest RAP forecast indicates that the mid level
shortwave responsible for ongoing thunderstorms to the west
should be approaching our far western counties prior to sunrise.
Increasing synoptic scale forcing for ascent will begin to
overspread North Texas during this time while low level moisture
advection will become maximized at the same time. An axis of 1.5"+
PWs will surge northward along the I-35 corridor by early Sunday
morning. Forecast soundings across the region show an uncapped
moist environment with only subtle lift required for the
development of new showers and thunderstorms. We'll ramp up PoPs
during the morning hours across the region as showers and
thunderstorms will likely blossom over the area as they move east
with time. A deep moist environmental column will support
efficient rain processes and a locally heavy rainfall threat
through the day. Convection should move at a steady enough pace to
preclude the need for a flood watch today, but this round of
rainfall should prime the region for flooding with additional
rains early this week.

We'll also be monitoring at least a low potential for rotating
storms through this afternoon. Low level wind fields won't be
overly strong, but forecast soundings/hodographs across the
region suggest that we'll maintain some degree of backed
flow/helicity in the lowest 1 km. This modest wind shear could
support some rotating storms through the afternoon. Weak lapse
rates and widespread coverage of storms are the main limiting
factors to a more significant tornado threat.

Rain chances should taper off by evening as the initial weak
shortwave moves off to the east, but we'll be keeping an eye on
upstream convection which could organize and make a run at North
Texas late overnight. We'll maintain relatively low PoPs during
the overnight hours with areas along the Red River seeing the best
chance for additional storms. Additional scattered showers/storms
are expected again on Monday as we remain in a moist uncapped
environment with persistent lift.

Dunn

&&

.LONG TERM... /NEW/
/Monday Night Onward/

Unsettled weather will continue into Tuesday and beyond with
severe weather and flooding rains possible through at least the
end of the week.

A deep, cutoff low near the Four Corners Region will lose some of
its eastward momentum on Tuesday. Multiple disturbances on the
periphery of the low will work in tandem with a dryline across
West Texas, allowing showers and thunderstorms to blossom across
the area. The greatest severe weather risk for the next several
days will occur on Tuesday, as ample instability will exist across
the region. Marginal, but adequate, bulk shear values will likely
result in rather messy convection; however, it's possible
multiple MCSs will organize throughout the day, bringing a variety
of hazards to the area. With PWATs approaching or exceeding 2",
the highest rainfall totals of the week are expected to occur
Tuesday and into Wednesday, resulting in a flash flood threat
across North and Central Texas.

Showers and thunderstorms will continue for the remainder of the
week and into the weekend as our upper-level pattern remains
rather progressive, and onshore flow supplies an abundance of
Gulf moisture. A continued threat for strong to severe storms is
expected through the end of the week as we remain fairly
unstable; however, meager bulk shear values may limit the
potential for severe storms. Additional rainfall will exacerbate
any flooding issues, with widespread rainfall totals near 3-6
inches anticipated through next Saturday. Totals in the 6-7 inch
range will be likely near and east of I-35, along with localized
values approaching the double digits in areas that receive the
greatest rainfall.

Rainy and gloomy conditions will keep low temperatures in the 60s
to low 70s and highs in the mid 70s to low 80s for the next week.

Barnes

&&

.AVIATION... /Issued 1225 AM CDT Sun May 16 2021/
/6Z TAFs/

VFR BKN/OVC100 conditions prevail across the region at this time
as high cloud cover from western TX convection overspreads the
region. We'll see an uptick in showers and thunderstorms over the
next several hours coincident with an increase in low level
moisture. Cigs are expected to lower and will likely be MVFR prior
to sunrise at all sites. Showers and thunderstorms will become
numerous across the region during the early morning hours and
we'll have TSRA in the TAFs from around 13-19Z. This activity
should move to the east by evening with additional showers and
thunderstorms on Monday.

We'll keep cigs MVFR through the period, although a tropical like
airmass will be in place and IFR conditions will be possible
especially later today into tonight. We'll continue to monitor
this possibility over the next several hours.
