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 May 10, 8:20 PM CDT, 2 hours 40 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 10, 8:20 PM CDT, 2 hours 40 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fort Worth TX 820 PM CDT Mon May 10 2021 ...New Short Term, Aviation... .SHORT TERM... /NEW/ /Through Tuesday/ Ample MUCAPE and effective shear combined with isentropic upglide above the frontal inversion to result in numerous thunderstorms across North Texas this evening. A hail threat will be maintained with this activity due to steep lapse rates and the ability for convection to take on an elevated supercellular storm mode. Convection should be able to continue through the rest of this evening, but may lessen overnight as the column experiences convective overturning and undergoes some modest stabilization. Another round of widespread convection should materialize sometime tomorrow morning with another strong wave of isentropic ascent. This should traverse most of the CWA throughout the course of the day. More marginal lapse rates through the mid levels and slightly weaker shear are expected to be in place as this occurs, which should keep the potential for strong/severe storms lower than this evening's convection. However, some sub- severe hail will certainly be possible with more robust cells. The main concern may be from heavy rainfall and flooding with isolated areas possibly receiving a few inches in a short time span. This wave should taper off from west to east late tomorrow afternoon or evening. Outside of convective chances, other forecast concerns include the potential for some dense fog tonight, while abnormally cool conditions persist. The main area for fog potential will be roughly west of I-35 and south of I-20, and we'll need to keep an eye on a potential Dense Fog Advisory overnight. Temperatures will mostly hover in the mid 50s to upper 60s for the next 36 hours beneath overcast skies with some mist/drizzle possible elsewhere. -Stalley && .LONG TERM... /Issued 339 PM CDT Mon May 10 2021/ /Tuesday night Through Next Weekend/ Another cold front arrives in late Tuesday afternoon and night period across the area, as a strong mid level impulse moves gradually to the south and east of the CWA through Wednesday morning. This will continue the highest rain chances across Central and East Texas, while continuing the well below normal and wet conditions. I did begin to undercut the NBM PoPs gradually after midnight and through Wednesday, as the CWA begins to experience gradually increasing mass subsidence aloft. I maintained lower thunderstorm possibilities versus actual PoPs, as enough MUCAPE and steep enough lapse rates linger to allow for some discharge potential above the cool near surface frontal layer. Though the potential for localized heavy rainfall and an isolated flood threat continue Tuesday evening, I expect the heavier convective rainfall to begin shifting toward the Texas Coast and the Lower Mississippi River Valley as we move into early Wednesday. Little diurnal range between low and high temperatures Wednesday are expected to continue as low level cold advection and expansive cloud cover keep temperatures from responding. Continuing cloud cover from weak isentropic low level ascent over the shallow frontal boundary and light northeast winds will likely keep things cool and moist Wednesday night. Decreasing clouds and increasing insolation on Thursday should allow for a gradual modification of the airmass and a warm up back into upper 60s to mid 70s on Thursday. This will be the transition day and likely the trickiest day to forecast temperatures, as temperatures could be warmer, or cooler if cloud cover decreases more or less than currently depicted in the forecast. Increasing ridging aloft across the Western U.S. and Rockies will bring a drier northwest flow regime across North and Central Texas by Friday. Shortwave ridging then takes hold for much of the weekend, before breaking down in response to a lead shortwave transiting the area well in advance of an organizing and strengthening trough over the Great Basin well to the west. At the surface, strengthening lee cyclogenesis across the Central High Plains will bring gusty southerly surface winds and moisture return back northward across the area moving into next weekend. This will also bring the humidity back northward, as well as more seasonable temperatures indicative of mid-May around here. Lows in the 60s and humid highs in the 80s will make their return. Though low convective chances increase late Saturday and into Sunday, it doesn't appear severe weather will be a major issue due to a strengthening elevated mixed layer/capping inversion across the area. The more established severe weather threat appears to be confined across West Texas and the Texas Panhandle in the vicinity of an established surface dryline, hotter temperatures likely in the 90s, and strong instability that correlate with increasingly divergent mid level flow over that area. Deterministic models want to cut off and deepen the energy across the Desert Southwest and Northwest Mexico early next week, while ensembles prefer a deep, but slow-moving open trough that brings off and on convective chances to the Southern Plains. As is usually the case with deep, southern latitude systems, finer details and and potential for more significant weather will likely iron themselves out with time. 05/ && .AVIATION... /NEW/ /00z TAFs/ A few more hours of TSRA impacts are possible at DFW area airports before convection tapers off somewhat later this evening. Afterwards, predominantly IFR or even LIFR conditions should exist into tomorrow morning at all TAF sites. Another round of TSRA is expected sometime tomorrow morning with additional TSRA expected at all TAF sites. Right now, the most likely window for this would be about 15z to 19z, but this timing could change by a couple hours in either direction depending on trends. Activity should taper off from west to east in the afternoon or evening. Otherwise, some visibility reductions are possible throughout the period, particularly at Waco tomorrow morning when some borderline dense fog is possible. Poor flying conditions with IFR/LIFR cigs should persist into tomorrow night. -Stalley && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... Dallas-Ft.

Thunderstorm chances will continue through tonight. A few strong to severe storms containing hail are possible, especially in North Texas this evening. Gusty storm outflow winds can't be ruled out across eastern Central Texas if storms develop near a stalled front. In addition, brief heavy rainfall may also result in minor flooding. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday. Thunderstorm chances will continue through Wednesday. While the overall severe weather threat will be low, localized heavy rainfall may lead to isolated instances of flash flooding across eastern Central Texas late Tuesday into Tuesday night. Mainstem rivers across this area may also experience enough run off for the potential for minor flooding in nearby farmland. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is not expected at this time.
