Flash Flood Warning 1, NWS Lubbock, TX

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LUBBOCK TX
820 PM CST WED MAR 22 2000

LINEAR MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM (MCS) HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS THE
EASTERN ZONES. SEVERAL SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EMBEDDED IN THE LINE
OF DEEP CONVECTION ALONG THE LEADING EDGE OF THE MCS. DEEP
CONVECTION CONTINUES TO PROPAGATE EAST INTO ENVIRONMENT
CHARACTERIZED BY INFLOW OF HIGH LOW-LEVEL THETAE AND STRONG VERTICAL
WIND SHEAR. MAIN SEVERE WEATHER THREAT THUS LOOKS TO BE EAST OF OUR
AREA AT THIS TIME. IN ITS WAKE, PERSISTENT LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN
WAS NOTED, GENERALLY EAST OF I-27. FLASH FLOOD WATCH STILL OK,
ALTHOUGH AT THIS POINT THE WESTERN PART OF THE WATCH IS TO COVER
POTENTIAL FOR LATE NIGHT ACTIVITY. MEANWHILE, UPPER LOW LOOKS TO
HAVE REFORMED A LITTLE EAST INTO SOUTHWEST NEW MEXICO. THIS IS IN
LINE WITH EARLIER PROGS, AS WELL AS 18Z MESOETA AND LATEST RUC WHICH
BEGINS TO PULL SYSTEM NORTHEAST OVERNIGHT. RUC MOVES STRONG SURFACE
LOW TO THE NORTH, LEADING TO STRONG BOUNDARY LAYER WARM ADVECTION,
ESSENTIALLY REORIENTING THE LOW LEVEL BAROCLINIC ZONE FROM
NORTHEAST-SOUTHWEST, TO NORTH-SOUTH ALONG OUR WESTERN ZONES. DESPITE
THE CURRENT LULL IN ACTIVITY WEST OF THE MCS, SOME REDEVELOPMENT IS
POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT (MAYBE SEVERE AS STEEP LAPSE MOVES EAST) ACROSS
WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA AS THE UPPER SYSTEM MOVES NORTHEAST.
HOWEVER, THE EXISTING MCS MAKES CONFIDENCE IN PROGGED EVOLUTION OF
SURFACE FEATURES UNCERTAIN AT BEST. WILL LOWER POPS A LITTLE ACROSS
WESTERN ZONES, OTHERWISE NO LARGE SCALE CHANGES EXPECTED FOR NOW.
