What forecasters said that day

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.
