AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX
333 PM CDT SAT SEP 17 2005

.DISCUSSION...
CLOUDINESS OVER THE SOUTHEAST HAS KEPT LAGGING BEHIND THOSE TO THE
NORTH AND WEST. AT THE SAME TIME...RATHER DRY AIR IS IN PLACE JUST
TO THE WEST OF THE AREA. THIS HAS SET UP CONTRASTING CONDITIONS
ACROSS THE CWA. ANY ACTIVITY THAT INITIATES WILL BE ALONG A SOUTHWEST
TO NORTHEAST LINE LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE NIGHTTIME HOURS.

FOR THE EARLY WEEK...THE POSITION OF THE FRONT WILL MAKE TEMPS RATHER
COMPLICATED. NO BIG CHANGES THERE YET BUT ADJUSTMENTS MAY BE NEEDED
AS THE SITUATION DEVELOPS.

FOR THE LATER EXTENDED PERIOD...THE NONZERO POPS FOR THURSDAY STILL
SEEM TO BE THE WAY TO GO. THE PERSISTANT HIGH TO THE SOUTHEAST SHOULD
TEND TO KEEP MOST OF THE UNSTABLE CONDITIONS TO THE NORTH.
