Severe Thunderstorm Warning 183, NWS Amarillo, TX

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX
343 PM CDT FRI AUG 26 2005

.DISCUSSION...
COLD FRONT HAS STALLED OUT OVER THE WESTERN CWA AND WILL CONTINUE TO
WEAKEN THROUGH THE NIGHT. MAY POSE AS A FOCUSING MECHANISM FOR STORMS
BUT THINK BEST SHOT FOR RAIN WILL BE DRIVEN BY NW FLOW ALOFT. SHORT
RANGE MODELS PROVIDE A FEW DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS FOR PRECIP CHANCES FOR
THE REST OF TODAY AND TOMORROW MORNING...RANGING FROM DRY WITH THE
MESO ETA TO VERY WET WITH THE GFS. MODELS DO AGREE THAT UPPER PATTERN
WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE NW FLOW ALOFT WITH EMBEDDED SHORT WAVE
ENERGY. GFS BRINGS IN THE DEEPEST AND STRONGEST VORT MAX SO IT MAKES
SENSE THAT IT ALSO PRODUCES THE MOST PRECIP. A BIT CONCERNED THAT THE
MESO ETA DOES NOT HAVE A GOOD HANDLES ON THE MOIST ATMOSPHERE OVER
THE PANHANDLES...ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING CONVECTION IS ALREADY
APPARENT ON SATELLITE AND RADAR. SO TRENDED POP AND QPF STRUCTURE
MORE WITH THE GFS TO BRING STORMS IN FROM NM AND COLORADO...AND TRACK
THE PRECIP SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE CWA. THERE IS ENOUGH UNSTABLE AIR IN
PLACE TO SUPPORT STORMS THROUGH THE EVENING AND EARLY
MORNING...ALTHOUGH SHEAR PROFILES APPEAR MARGINAL TO WEAK SO NOT
THINKING THAT WIDESPREAD OR LONG LASTING SEVERE STORMS WILL BREAK
OUT. CAN NOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED HAILER...WITH THE BEST POSSIBLE
CONDITIONS FOR SEVERE IN THE NORTHEAST CWA WHERE HIGHEST CAPE AND
SHEAR VALUES EXIST.

A STRONGER SHORT WAVE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED BY THE MODELS AND WILL
MOVE ACROSS THE PANHANDLES SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. WEAK SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE IN THE WAKE OF THE STALLED OUT COLD FRONT WILL SETTLE OVER
SOUTHERN COLORADO PRODUCING EASTERLY UPSLOPE FLOW FOR THE PANHANDLES.
THE SHORT WAVE...UPSLOPE FLOW...AND ABUNDANT LL MOISTURE SHOULD ALLOW
FOR STORMS TO GENERATE IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS THIS
WEEKEND. POP STRUCTURE LOOKED GOOD WITH CHANCE POPS MENTIONED FOR
MOST AREAS SO LEFT EVERYTHING ALONE FOR NOW.

GRADUAL WARMING TREND EARLY NEXT WEEK AND THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK.
MODELS INDICATING ANOTHER COLD FRONT POSSIBLE FOR WEDS AFTERNOON.
DECIDED THAT MODELS SEEM TO HAVE A MUCH BETTER HANDLE ON FRONT WITH
RECENT RUNS SO DECIDED TO DROP TEMPS A FEW DEGREE WEDS AND THURS. IN
THE MEANTIME...WARMER AND DRIER MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS THE UPPER
RIDGE BUILDS BACK OVER THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES AND THE PANHANDLES.
