The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Amarillo, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 9, 3:12 PM CDT, 3 hours 20 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 9, 3:12 PM CDT, 3 hours 20 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX 312 PM CDT THU JUN 9 2005 .DISCUSSION... CONVECTION SLOW TO GET GOING OVER THE PANHANDLES WITH THE DRYLINE NOT PROVIDING ENOUGH CONVERGENCE TO BREAK THE CAP IN PLACE. HOWEVER ADDTIONAL AFTERNOON HEATING SHOULD CAUSE CONVECTION TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE CENTRAL PANHANDLES AND PROGRESS EAST INTO WESTERN OKLAHOMA. MESONET OBS INDICATE THE DRYLINE IS LOCATED FROM ABOUT AMARILLO...TO GRUVER...TO LIBERAL AND IS STATIONARY OR VERY SLOWLY MOVING WEST. WITH A 20 DEGREE DEWPOINT SPREAD BETWEEN AMA AND BUSHLAND AMARILLO MAY SEE THUNDERSTORMS...HOWEVER THEY WILL PROBABLY MOVE EAST OF THE CITY BEFORE BECOMING SEVERE. A DEEP SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE INTO AZ/NM TOMORROW WHICH WILL CAUSE PRESSURES TO FALL IN EASTERN NM PULLING THE DRYLINE BACK TO OUR WESTERN COUNTIES. A MINOR...THOUGH POTENT...NEGATIVELY TILTED S/W TROUGH WILL MOVE OVER THE AREA TOMORROW PROVIDING A DECENT CHANCE FOR WIDESPREAD SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. THE AREA MOST AT RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER FRIDAY WILL BE THE NORTHERN ZONES WHERE A WEAK FRONT WILL PULL UP STATIONARY. LOW LEVEL VEERING WINDS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS FRONT COULD PROVIDE FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR A FEW THUNDERSTORMS TO PRODUCE TORNADOES. ENOUGH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN IN THE EASTERN COUNTIES TO PROVIDE A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON SATURDAY...THEN MORE WESTERLY FLOW WILL RESUME SUNDAY BRINGING WARMER AND DRIER CONDITIONS TO THE PANHANDLES. THERE ARE INDICATIONS THAT THE FLOW WILL BECOME NORTHWESTERLY MID TO LATE NEXT WEEK WHICH COULD PRODUCE MOUNTAIN CONVECTION MOVING INTO THE WESTERN COUNTIES...HOWEVER DO NOT HAVE CONFIDENCE ENOUGH YET TO INCLUDE POPS FOR THIS TIME FRAME.
