AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LUBBOCK TX
921 PM CST TUE MAR 21 2000

ARCTIC COLD FRONT THROUGH ALL BUT EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN CWA AS OF 9
PM.  THIS BOUNDARY SHOULD CONTINUE A SLOW MOVEMENT TO THE SOUTH.
WITH THE AREA NEARLY SATURATED WOULD EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO REMAIN
NEAR PRESENT VALUES THROUGH THE NIGHT. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WERE INCREASING IN COVERAGE ACROSS SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO.  EXPECT
THIS TREND TO CONTINUE AND SPREAD OVER THE SOUTH PLAINS THE NEXT
COUPLE HOURS AS ISENTROPIC LIFT INCREASES OVER THE ARCTIC BOUNDARY.
ELEVATED LAYER CONTINUES TO BE UNSTABLE WITH GOOD SHEAR PROFILES SO
SOME STORMS MAY BE ABLE TO ROTATE. SINCE THEY WILL NOT DEVELOP FROM
THE SURFACE THE THREAT WILL BE LARGE HAIL. WILL CONTINUE THE MENTION
OF SEVERE.  ONLY CHANGES TO THE FORECAST WILL BE TO DECREASE
TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY TO CURRENT LEVELS.  WILL ALSO INCREASE WIND
SPEEDS OVER THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF TH	E AREA.

.LBB...NONE.
