Area forecast discussion, Jun 11, 8:48 PM CDT, 1 hour 39 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN ANGELO TX 848 PM CDT FRI JUN 11 1999 WILL UPDATE ZONES TO REFLECT THE NEW SEVERE TSTM WATCH. REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST LOOKS OK. NORTHERN AREA OF PRECIPITATION WHICH IS JUST NORTHWEST OF THE CWA APPEARS TO BE DRIVEN BY SHORTWAVE ENERGY WHICH WILL MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS THE PANHANDLE. THE SOUTHERN AREA...WHICH IS JUST WEST OF THE EDWARDS PLATEAU APPEARS TO BE MORE OF A BOUNDARY DRIVEN EVENT WITH AN EXITING AREA OF UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT. NEVERTHELESS...LOOKS AS IF THE TWO AREAS WILL BEGIN TO FILL AND SUPPORT CURRENT POPS. INSTABILITIES QUITE IMPRESSIVE WITH CAPES OF ABOUT 4000 J/KG OVER THE WESTERN BIG COUNTRY. THIS WILL SUPPORT SEVERE ACTIVITY WHICH WILL BEGIN MOVING INTO THIS AREA WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. LLJ TO INTENSIFY SOME OVER THE AREA LATER TONIGHT AND THIS SHOULD SUPPORT THE OVERNIGHT SEVERE EVENT. ALREADY SEEING SOME CAPE INDUCED ROTATION WITH SOME OF THE STORMS SO PERHAPS A TORNADO OR TWO WILL BE POSSIBLE. WILL HOLD TEMPS AND WINDS IN CHECK FOR NOW WITH NO CHANGES NEEDED. WILL SEND UPDATED ZONES AFTER NEW WATCH IS RECEIVED. 21
