631 PM CDT FRI MAY 13 2005

.UPDATE...
UPDATED FOR TORNADO WATCH 273 WHICH INCLUDES SAN ANGELO TO
SABA...THEN NORTHWARD ACROSS ALL OF THE BIG COUNTRY. STORM WERE

.PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 301 PM CDT FRI MAY 13 2005)

DISCUSSION...
SCENARIO SHAPING UP FOR AN ACTIVE THUNDERSTORM SCENARIO LATER THIS
EVENING AND TONIGHT IN OUR REGION. A SHARPENED DRYLINE HAS MIXED
EASTWARD ACROSS WEST TX AND WAS APPROACHING AN IRAAN TO SNYDER LINE.
DRYLINE EXTENDED UP TO A MESO-LOW EAST OF LUBBOCK. A TORNADO WATCH
HAS ALREADY BEEN ISSUED FOR THE AREA JUST NORTH OF OUR COUNTIES INTO
SOUTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA...WHERE THUNDERSTORM INITIATION IS IMMINENT.
FARTHER SOUTH ALONG THE DRYLINE...EXPECT SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TO
DEVELOP BY LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING ALONG THE DRYLINE AS THE
STRONGER PART OF THE CAP IS EVENTUALLY BROKEN. STORMS HAVE ALREADY
DEVELOPED NEAR FORT STOCTON.

EXPECT SCATTERED STORMS TO MOVE OFF THE DRYLINE AND AFFECT OUR AREA
NORTHWEST OF AN ALBANY TO SAN ANGELO TO OZONA LINE THIS EVENING/
EARLY TONIGHT. GIVEN THE STRONG INSTABILITY AND SUFFICIENT VERTICAL
SHEAR PROFILES...SOME OF THE STORMS COULD BE SEVERE. LATER TONIGHT
THE EFFECTIVE COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL PUSH SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE
RED RIVER AND INTO THE BIG COUNTRY. EXPECT ADDITIONAL STORM
DEVELOPMENT ALONG AND AHEAD OF THIS FRONT. LOW-LEVEL JET AND 850
MILLIBAR THETA-E RIDGE SUPPORT HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL WITH THE STORMS
OVERNIGHT.

CARRYING CHANCE POPS FOR MOST OF WEST CENTRAL TX SATURDAY...WITH
THE BEST SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE SHIFTING SOUTHWESTWARD AS THE
FRONT CONTINUES SOUTHWARD. THE NAM AND GFS MODELS STILL SHOW SOME
DIFFERENCES LATE SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. NAM TRYING TO BRIEFLY BRING
IN DRIER AIR FROM THE NORTHEAST...BUT IS LESS AGGRESSIVE THAN IN
PREVIOUS MODEL RUNS. WITH REMAINING MOISTURE AND POSSIBLY SOME LIFT
WITH WEAK EMBEDDED SHORTWAVES ALOFT...KEEPING THE POPS GOING
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. STILL HAVE SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH
TIMING...PLACEMENT AND STRENGTH OF THESE WAVES...SO LEANING TOWARD
BEING CONSERVATIVE WITH THE POPS AT THIS TIME.

THE RAIN CHANCE SHOULD DIMINISH EARLY NEXT WEEK. HEIGHT RISES
ALOFT ARE PROGGED THROUGH MID-WEEK WITH UPPER RIDGE BUILDING
ACROSS TX LATE NEXT WEEK. THIS PAINTS A DRY WEATHER SCENARIO WITH
VERY WARM TEMPERATURES...AND HIGHS CLIMBING INTO THE 90S FOR THE
LATTER HALF OF NEXT WEEK.

.SJT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

220 PM CDT FRI MAY 13 2005

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR WEST CENTRAL TEXAS.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT
A MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS REMAINS IN PLACE ACROSS WEST CENTRAL
TEXAS...BUT A WARM LAYER OF AIR ALOFT HAS ACTED AS A CAP TO
PREVENT THUNDERSTORM FORMATION SO FAR THIS AFTERNOON. AS
TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO CLIMB THIS AFTERNOON...THIS CAP IS
EXPECTED TO WEAKEN AND EVENTUALLY BREAK...ALLOWING THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT ALONG A SHARPENING DRYLINE FROM BIG LAKE TO SNYDER.
OTHER STORMS WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE REMNANTS OF AN OLD OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY FROM LUBBOCK TO WICHITA FALLS. ALL OF THESE STORMS WILL
PUSH TO THE EAST AND NORTHEAST...LIKELY BRINGING THEM INTO THE
WEST AND NORTHWEST SECTIONS OF WEST CENTRAL TEXAS. THE MOST LIKELY
AREA TO SEE ANY OF THE SEVERE WEATHER THIS EVENING WILL BE ALONG
AND WEST OF AN OZONA TO SAN ANGELO TO ABILENE LINE.

GIVEN THE INSTABILITY PRESENT...ANY STORM THAT DOES DEVELOP WILL
QUICKLY REACH SEVERE LEVELS...WITH VERY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WINDS THE PRIMARY THREATS. IN ADDITION...THERE IS SUFFICIENT WIND
SHEAR THROUGH THE ATMOSPHERE TO ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FEW
ISOLATED TORNADOES...PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN
BIG COUNTRY.

LATE TONIGHT...THE STORMS MAY MERGE INTO A SQUALL LINE ALONG A
COLD FRONT ACROSS THE NORTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE AREA. IF THIS LINE
DOES DEVELOP...THEN IT WOULD BE EXPECTED TO MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS
MUCH OF THE REMAINDER OF WEST CENTRAL TEXAS BY SUNRISE SATURDAY
MORNING. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WOULD BE THE PRIMARY
THREATS FROM THIS LINE OF STORMS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

ALTHOUGH COOLER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED SATURDAY AND SUNDAY BEHIND
THE WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY...THERE REMAINS THE POTENTIAL OF AT
LEAST SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS. AGAIN...THESE STORMS COULD BECOME
QUITE STRONG...WITH A FEW PERHAPS BRIEFLY REACHING SEVERE LEVELS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL LIKELY BE REQUESTED LATE THIS AFTERNOON
AND INTO THE EVENING ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN BIG
COUNTRY. SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE REQUESTED FARTHER SOUTH ACROSS
THE CONCHO VALLEY AND NORTHERN EDWARDS PLATEAU THIS EVENING.
