The local office's own words before the first event, 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 the first event at Jun 1, 2:13 PM CST, 2 hours 42 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX 313 PM CDT MON JUN 1 2009 .DISCUSSION... ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD CONTINUE TO FIRE THROUGH SUNSET ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF NORTH TEXAS. THE BEST CHANCE FOR STRONG TO ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS WILL BE IN THE NORTHWEST ZONES IN THE VICINITY OF A WEAKENING MCV. THE CIRCULATION WILL MOVE NORTH OF THE REGION BY SUNSET AND STORM CHANCES WILL DECREASE. THE NEXT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD ARRIVE IN NORTH TEXAS ON TUESDAY WHEN INCREASING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INTERACTS WITH ENERGY FROM A FAST MOVING SHORT WAVE TROUGH. MOST OF THE ENERGY ASSOCIATED WITH THE TROUGH WILL REMAIN IN THE NORTHWEST ZONES. HOWEVER...A FEW SEA BREEZE INDUCED STORMS MAY ALSO AFFECT THE SOUTHEAST ZONES DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON. THE SHORT WAVE WILL TRANSLATE EAST OF THE REGION TUESDAY EVENING AND OPEN THE DOOR TO A COLD FRONT. THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP NEAR THE COLD FRONT AS IT MOVES SOUTHEAST THROUGH OKLAHOMA AND WEST TEXAS. THESE STORMS SHOULD IMPACT THE NORTHERN HALF OF NORTH TEXAS TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING AND THE REMAINDER OF THE REGION WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. MUCH DRIER AND SOMEWHAT COOLER AIR WILL FILTER INTO NORTH TEXAS WEDNESDAY NIGHT/THURSDAY. HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL DOMINATE NORTH TEXAS THOUGH THE WEEKEND WITH A CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY SKY AND A SLIGHT WARMING TREND. UNFORTUNATELY...IT APPEARS THAT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL ALSO INCREASE LATE IN THE WEEKEND THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK SO IT SHOULD START TO FEEL A BIT MORE LIKE EARLY SUMMER IN NORTH TEXAS. 79 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
