HernandezWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood 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 river flood warning went out at Apr 28, 6:08 AM CDT, 1 hour 51 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 28, 6:08 AM CDT, 1 hour 51 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fort Worth TX 608 AM CDT Wed Apr 28 2021 ...New Short Term, Aviation... .SHORT TERM... /NEW/ Update: Showers and a few thunderstorms continue across northwestern portions of the FWD CWA. A few of these thunderstorms have prompted Severe Thunderstorm Warnings, but thus far, no reports of large hail or wind damage have been received. This activity should wane later this morning as the LLJ weakens, and the Tornado Watch will likely expire on time at 10:00 a.m. CDT. The main challenge with this update was afternoon cloud cover and high temperatures. Some of the latest high-res model guidance clears out much of this cloud cover, allowing high temperatures to rise into the mid to upper 80s. Given the widespread convection over western North TX and the amount of anvil stratus that will likely remain over the area, cloud cover was increased over NBM values, and high temperatures were lowered into the low/mid 80s. Other than this change, the 12Z issuance is largely an update of the previous forecast. Godwin Previous Discussion: Update: A cluster of vigorous convection has developed over portions of the Big Country early this morning. The most intense thunderstorm is located over Jones and Shackelford Counties where one volume scan from the KDYX WSR-88D indicated Vrot approaching 50 KT. These thunderstorms are occurring within a robust warm air advection regime, with low-level wind shear being enhanced by a potent low- level jet. The KDYX VWP shows 0-1 km SRH of over 200 m2/s2 and deep layer shear exceeding 70 KT. This environment will continue to support rotating updraft during the next few hours as this convection continues east to northeastward. As this convection moves east, it will encounter an increasingly strong cap that was evident on the 00Z FWD RAOB, making the tornado threat east of U.S. Highway 281 somewhat uncertain. Given the vigor of this convection and strong low-level wind shear however, a Tornado Watch has been issued to cover this potential threat over western portions of North TX through the morning hours. Godwin Previous Discussion: /Through Wednesday Night/ Southwesterly flow aloft continues across the south-central CONUS this morning ahead of an approaching, but slow-moving upper-level low. This upper-level low was analyzed at 00Z to be located across northern Baja California, and is moving much slower than was forecast by global models this time yesterday. In the lower levels of the troposphere, 850 mb analysis from 00Z reveals an elongated trough extending from the western Great Lakes region, through the Central Plains, then southward across the Southern Plains and into northern Chihuahua. At the surface, a dryline is present across West TX. Finally, widespread convection is occurring well east of this dryline across the Red River Valley, some of which has made its way into northwestern portions of the FWD CWA. The convection ongoing this morning continues to wane. A few of the stronger multi-cellular clusters within this convective shield may have produced small hail earlier (though no reports have been received), but these thunderstorms are on the decline. Severe Thunderstorm Watch #115 continues until 3 a.m. CDT, and while it is possible this watch could be canceled early, with only a couple hours left to go, the watch will probably be allowed to continue until its scheduled expiration time. This convection is forecast to continue eastward slowly through the rest of the overnight period, but will wane towards daybreak as it struggles against a still robust EML evident on the 00Z FWD RAOB. A respite is convective activity is expected during the morning and early afternoon hours Wednesday, though some isolated to widely scattered showers and a few thunderstorms will remain possible. By 00Z, the upper-level low is forecast to move over southern NM/northern Chihuahua, with a lead shortwave trough approaching North TX by this time. This lead shortwave trough can be noted this morning over eastern NM on GOES moisture channel imagery. Mid-level ascent associated with the approaching lead shortwave trough should act to weaken the cap across North TX, allowing for convective development after 21Z. Convection is likely to initiate along the leading edge of an approaching cold front across northwestern portions of the FWD CWA to Wichita Falls. Near-storm environment forecast soundings from the HRRR indicate SBCAPE in excess of 2000 J/kg, mid-level lapse rates approaching 7 C/km, and nearly 70 KT of effective bulk shear. These forecast soundings, as well as HREF neighborhood probability fields for updraft helicity suggest that some supercellular thunderstorms will be possible, with large hail and tornadoes being the primary threats. The tornado threat will be at its highest 00Z-03Z (7-10 p.m.) across western North TX as the LLJ increases. After 03Z, convection is likely to grow upscale into backward-propagating MCS as it moves slowly across North TX. While Corfidi upshear propagation vectors indicate storm motions of 30-40 KT, the potential for training convection as well as abnormally high PWAT values for late April suggest a localized potential for flash flooding. HREF probability-matched mean QPF shows 2-3 inches of rainfall possible across western North TX (north of a line from Breckenridge to Decatur to Sherman/Denison). A mitigating factor will be the recent dry conditions, but even with a D1-D2 drought in place across these areas, high rainfall rates could still result in flash flooding in poor-drainage areas and areas near creeks and streams. Given the localized nature of the threat however, a Flash Flood Watch is not needed at this time. Convection will continue eastward overnight, and while the severe weather threat should diminish after 06Z (1 a.m.), the threat for localized heavy rainfall/flash flooding will continue. Godwin && .LONG TERM... /Issued 257 AM CDT Wed Apr 28 2021/ /Thursday through Tuesday/ Numerous showers and thunderstorms will continue Thursday as lift and moisture associated with a slow moving low pressure system remains over the region. The good news is that all this activity will be elevated over a wedge of cooler, post-frontal air near the surface. Therefore, the potential for severe weather will be low Thursday but the potential for heavy rain will continue, especially east of the I-35 corridor where precipitable water values will remain above 1.5 inches. The models are coming into better agreement on the fate of the upper low with the general consensus that it will remain closed while rotating across Northern Mexico Friday. This solution will shift most of the rain chances south of the forecast area but we will linger some low PoPs across our Central Texas zones. Unfortunately, it is now looking like the weekend will be a little more unsettled than previously through with the upper low progged to lift slowly northeast Saturday and Sunday, keeping at least some low shower/thunderstorm chances. The good news is that the weekend should not be a total wash and there will still be plenty of sun with seasonably warm temperatures. Brief ridging aloft Sunday night through Monday will result in warm and rain-free weather with highs Monday afternoon from the mid 80s to the lower 90s. DFW could actually see its first 90 degree day since mid October 2020. The upper ridge will not linger long across the region with another trough developing over the Central Rockies Monday afternoon. This trough will move across the Central and Southern Plains Tuesday allowing a cold front to move southward through the region. Thunderstorms will likely accompany the cold front through Tuesday night with the best rain chances across the eastern half of the region. 79 && .AVIATION... /NEW/ /12Z TAFs/ Area terminals continue to bounce between MVFR and VFR, but with lowest cloud bases generally near 020, will prevail MVFR at the start of the period, though some intermittent VFR conditions will be possible. Additionally, a few -SHRA have developed across the Metroplex. Any impacts should be minimal, but will show VCSH through the rest of the morning. TSRA continue well north and west of the D10 TRACON however which will result in impacts to the Bowie arrival gate as well as northbound and westbound departures. Renewed SHRA/TSRA development is expected after 21Z, initially west of D10. More widespread convection is likely within D10 after 05Z, with CIGs becoming IFR.
