The local office's own words before this special weather statement 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 special weather statement went out at Jul 11, 2:09 AM CDT, 2 hours 25 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 11, 2:09 AM CDT, 2 hours 25 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fort Worth TX 209 AM CDT Sun Jul 11 2021 ...New Long Term... .SHORT TERM... /Issued 741 PM CDT Sat Jul 10 2021/ /Tonight through Sunday Night/ The remaining few showers across Central TX this evening should continue to taper off over the next couple of hours. The rain- free period tonight will be somewhat short lived as the storms currently along the cold front in northern Oklahoma should approach the Red River after midnight tonight. These storms are expected to decrease in coverage and strength as they approach the Metroplex late overnight although a few strong wind gusts may occur. Early tomorrow, the influence of the upper level ridge to our west will diminish over our area slightly, allowing for stronger upper level northwesterly flow to nudge into the area. This should provide some additional southward push to the boundary through the afternoon. The primary driver in determining the areas that see storms re-develop along the front through the afternoon will be the strength of the outflow boundaries associated with tonight's storms. With this uncertainty, the second round of thunderstorms will likely initiate near or just south of the Metroplex. Damaging winds will again be the primary hazard along with a threat for isolated severe hail. For the rest of tonight, we'll have increasing PoPs north of I-20 to the Red River after midnight into the early morning hours Sunday. After a brief lull in activity during the mid morning hours, PoPs will increase again into the afternoon as we get into peak heating and the remnant frontal boundary sags into Central Texas. Gordon && .LONG TERM... /NEW/ /Monday and Beyond/ The upper low partially responsible for our ongoing weather pattern shift will begin to open into a trough, which will extend from the Great Lakes to Central Texas on Monday. Weak ascent associated with the trough axis should be ongoing at the start of the forecast period. Another round of scattered showers and storms can therefore be expected by Monday afternoon, with the best rain chances being in the vicinity of the remnant surface front. The severe threat should lessen by then due to weaker flow aloft, but there may still be a few strong storms capable of producing gusty winds, heavy rain, and small hail. Storms should gradually weaken while moving east of the region Monday night. The upper trough will finally lift off to the northeast on Tuesday while a mid and upper ridge noses in from the west. This will decrease the rain chances and return the area to more typical July weather for mid to late week. Will stick close to the NBM for temperatures with near seasonable normal values expected Wednesday through next weekend. After Monday, it looks like our rain chances will be slim and limited mainly to the east and southeast zones where the afternoon seabreeze will occasionally make its presence known. Otherwise, highs in the low to mid 90s and lows in the 70s can be expected Tuesday through the end of the period. 30 && .AVIATION... /Issued 741 PM CDT Sat Jul 10 2021/ /00Z TAFs/ Main concern through Sunday will be widespread convective potential. Line of thunderstorms organizing in Oklahoma will head south overnight and should approach the Metroplex airports well after midnight, in a weakened state. We'll continue with a VCTS from 8-12Z with VFR prevailing outside of any convection. Outflow and the associated frontal boundary will be in the vicinity of the Metroplex during the late morning and will serve as a focus for additional convection Sunday afternoon. Significant impacts to departures/arrivals should be anticipated along with variable winds in an around convection through the afternoon. Most of the activity should gradually slide southward into Central Texas by late afternoon/evening. VFR will prevail Sunday night. Dunn && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... Dallas-Ft.
