What 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, 3 hours 16 minutes earlier.

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.

.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.

.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.
