Area forecast discussion, Aug 27, 2:52 PM CDT, 5 hours 42 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX 252 PM CDT SUN AUG 27 2006 .DISCUSSION... SHORT TERM FORECAST CONCERNS WILL BE ANY SEVERE WEATHER DEVELOPING ACROSS THE PANHANDLES THROUGH TONIGHT. CLEARING ACROSS THE AREA HAS ALLOWED FOR BETTER SURFACE HEATING THAN YESTERDAY WHICH IS ALREADY CAUSING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP TO OUR NORTHWEST AND SOUTHEAST. DIFFLUENCE AHEAD OF A MID AND UPPER LEVEL TROUGH ROTATING EAST OUT OF THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES SHOULD CAUSE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO INCREASE FIRST IN EASTERN NEW MEXICO...THEN SPREAD EAST INTO OUR CWA THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW DECENT INSTABILITY AROUND 2K J/G BUT WITH WEAK 0-3KM SHEAR PRIMARY THREAT SHOULD BE HAIL. MOST OF THE CONVECTION SHOULD BE DONE BY DAWN AS A SECONDARY SURGE OF COOL NORTHERLY AIR INVADES IN THE WAKE OF THE PASSING UPPER TROUGH. TEMPERATURES SHOULD GRADUALLY REBOUND THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK UNTIL THE NEXT COLD FRONT LATE FRIDAY OR EARLY SATURDAY. LATEST GFS HAS SPED THE PROGRESS OF THE FRONT UP TO MOVING IT THROUGH BEFORE PEAK HEATING ON FRIDAY...BUT I FEEL THIS IS A BIT FAST. ENSEMBLE GFS AND ECMWF CONTINUE TO SHOW THE FRONT MOVING THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY. PLUS I DO NOT LIKE THE LOOK OF THE HIGHLY AMPLIFIED...YET LOW WAVELENGTH UPPER PATTERN THE LATEST GFS HAS SET UP. SO WILL GO ABOVE GUIDANCE FOR FRIDAY AND BELOW GUIDANCE FOR SATURDAY. HENNIG && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
