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 16, 5:48 AM CDT, 2 hours 13 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 16, 5:48 AM CDT, 2 hours 13 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fort Worth TX 548 AM CDT Sun May 16 2021 ...New Short Term, Aviation... .SHORT TERM... /NEW/ Update: Current forecast through today is in good shape and have only made some minor tweaks to PoPs. A band of showers has developed over the last hour from Fort Worth northwest toward Wichita Falls with additional showers in the vicinity of Waco. Expect this initial activity to continue moving northeast through the early morning with more robust development expected around mid morning. PoPs will be highest later this morning through early evening as a weak disturbance moves through the Southern Plains. For tonight, it's becoming a little more likely that convection will become organized off to our northwest during the overnight hours and move toward the region as a MCS by early Monday morning. We've lowered PoPs for the overnight hours tonight and raised them through mid/late Monday morning. Any complex should travel mainly north of I-20 during the morning hours with additional convection developing farther south later in the day on residual outflow boundaries. No other changes made at this time. Dunn && Previous Discussion: /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... /Issued 247 AM CDT Sun May 16 2021/ /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... /NEW/ /12Z TAFs/ Precipitation has developed over the last hour and is increasing in coverage mainly across western parts of the Metroplex extending to the northwest toward Wichita Falls. Additional showers have developed near Waco. Coverage of showers/storms is expected to increase through the morning hours with a noticeable reduction in cigs/vis. We'll continue with periods of SHRA/TSRA into the early afternoon before most of the activity moves off to the east. We'll keep it fairly quiet overnight with additional convection expected on Monday. Cigs will lower to MVFR shortly across the region and should generally stay there through the period, with intermittent IFR in areas of heavier precipitation. Dunn && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
