The episode as NWS FWD wrote it up.
Driven by a weak frontal zone over southern Oklahoma, two separate thunderstorm complexes tracked from west to east over the same areas, causing flash flooding across Lamar County. The bulk of the flooding occurred on June 23 in connection with the second complex. The systems also produced isolated large hail and a single severe wind gust.
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 22, 4:41 AM CST, 5 hours 4 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Fort Worth TX 541 AM CDT Mon Jun 22 2026 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... - Strong thunderstorms capable of severe wind gusts and heavy rainfall will spread into parts of North Texas this morning. Localized flash flooding is possible near and north of I-20. - Scattered showers and thunderstorms may redevelop tonight into Tuesday, with the highest rain chances across North Texas near a stalled front. - Seasonably hot and humid conditions will continue through the rest of the workweek. && .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Tuesday) Issued at 1144 PM CDT Sun Jun 21 2026 The main concern through the short term period is the upstream convective complex in Oklahoma as of midnight, which will move SSE into parts of North Texas this morning. While some weakening of this complex is expected as it outruns synoptic scale support while encountering increasing nocturnal MLCIN, it will likely remain capable of strong to marginally severe wind gusts upon entering North Texas after 3-4AM. Would expect activity to at least advance as far south of the I-20 corridor towards daybreak, with some of the more aggressive guidance pushing an outflow all the way into our southeastern zones by mid-morning. PoPs will be highest across our northeast and taper off to the southwest with western portions of Central Texas unlikely to be impacted by such a complex this morning, but a large portion of North Texas should expect to experience a stormy morning commute. Should this complex begin to slow or stall, individual cells would begin training in a west-east fashion, and this would increase the potential for flash flooding in along a localized corridor. We will likely see a relative minimum in convection by this afternoon and evening as morning convection winds down towards midday. However, redevelopment is possible later this evening and overnight along a newly established and repositioned effective frontal zone, which may be located near the Red River or even slightly farther south through North Texas depending on the evolution of today's convection. PoPs will be indicated particularly near/north of I-20 for the tonight/Tuesday period to account for this. This morning's convective complex does complicate the potential need for heat headlines today. We'll likely have a dense cirrus canopy present across at least the eastern half of the CWA through the first portion of the day. In addition, if the convective outflow does surge all the way south into Central Texas, this will help scour dewpoints by a few degrees which would keep heat index values well below 105 this afternoon. If this scenario does not play out and our south/southeast zones are unaffected by remnant convection today, then these areas probably will meet Heat Advisory criteria. Should this occur, a Heat Advisory may still need to be issued later this morning for roughly our southeastern quadrant of counties. This same area will also be the most likely to reach criteria on Tuesday afternoon, barring any additional effects from nearby convection later tonight or Tuesday morning. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday night through next Sunday) Issued at 1144 PM CDT Sun Jun 21 2026 With the upper ridge axis beginning to expand late Tuesday and Wednesday, our potential for thunderstorm complexes will diminish during the second half of the week as we transition to weaker zonal flow aloft. The last potential for nearby thunderstorm complexes will probably be on Wednesday, with no PoPs mentioned from Thursday onward as the more active storm pattern retreats northward into the Central Plains. Without convection nearby to interrupt daytime heat and humidity, we should make a more convincing return to clear-cut Heat Advisory levels, especially heading into next weekend. Highs will be in the mid 90s to around 100 late in the week and next weekend, while overnight lows fall into the mid and upper 70s. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 530 AM CDT Mon Jun 22 2026 A weakening line of convection is approaching the Metroplex airports from the north as of 11z and is still expected to result in a brief period of TSRA at the TAF sites during the next few hours. This activity will also likely be accompanied by a temporary north wind shift with gusts as high as 25-30 kts. Following the gradual dissipation of convection late this morning and early this afternoon, VFR and a south wind will prevail into the early evening. There is some potential for convective redevelopment in parts of North Texas late this evening and overnight, but confidence in placement and coverage remains far too low to include additional period of TSRA in the remainder of the TAF. && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is not expected at this time. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... Dallas-Ft.
