AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LUBBOCK TX
319 PM CDT MON MAY 29 2006

.SHORT TERM...
BOUNDARY THAT MOVED DOWN FROM THE PANHANDLE EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON
APPEARS TO HAVE STALLED. CONVERGENCE IS NOT TERRIBLY STRONG IN ANY
LOCATION...BUT BEST COMBINATION OF WEAKEST CAP AND MAXIMIZED
CONVERGENCE IS ALONG THE BOUNDARY ACROSS THE NERN FCST AREA. MOST
RECENT VISIBLE IMAGES SHOW A THIN LINE OF CUMULUS DEVELOPING IN THAT
AREA. THIS AREA WILL ALSO HAVE BETTER WINDS ALOFT COMPARED WITH
FARTHER SOUTH DOWN THE LINE WHERE WINDS ALOFT WILL REMAIN VERY WEAK.
THUS WITH BEST CHANCE OF DEVELOPMENT AND ORGANIZATION ACROSS THE
NORTHEAST WILL RUN WITH CHANCE POPS THERE AND SLIGHT CHANCE
EVERYWHERE ELSE EXCEPT NEAR THE NEW MEXICO STATE LINE WHERE MOISTURE
SHOULD REMAIN LACKING FOR MOST OF THE NIGHT. WILL ALSO HAVE TO SEE
IF NAM IDEA OF BACKING AN MCS INTO THE NERN PART OF THE AREA LATE
TONIGHT HOLDS ANY WEIGHT. TYPICALLY WE DO NOT SEE THAT VERY OFTEN
BUT CONVECTION MIGHT BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN ITSELF INTO A FAIRLY STIFF
LOW LEVEL JET. CANNOT IGNORE THE MODEL COMPLETELY AND WILL RUN WITH
SLIGHT CHANCE WORDING ERN ZONES LATE TONIGHT AND PAST SUNRISE
TUESDAY. FINALLY...LOW LEVEL MOISTURE SHOULD BE HELD BACK FARTHER
WEST TUESDAY...MUCH NEARER THE NEW MEXICO STATE LINE WHILE A COLD
FRONT IS PROGGED TO PROGRESS THROUGH THE ERN PANHANDLE/WRN OKLAHOMA
DURING THE DAY. GREATEST CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL LATE TOMORROW
AFTERNOON WILL BE ACROSS THE NERN ZONES ONCE AGAIN AS THIS FRONT
NEAR THE AREA. DRYLINE ACROSS THE WEST MAY IGNITE IF CAP CAN BE
BROKEN...SOMETHING THE CURRENT MODEL RUNS SUGGEST WILL NOT HAPPEN.
HOWEVER THREAT IS GREAT ENOUGH TO CONTINUE SLIGHT CHANCE MENTION
THERE.

TEMPS TONIGHT PROBLEMATIC WITH RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND UNCERTAIN
AMOUNT OF CLOUD COVER. WITH SFC MOISTURE EXPECTED TO RETURN TO ALL
OF THE AREA BY SUNRISE LOWS ACROSS THE NW SHOULD BE HIGHER THAN THIS
MORNING. FOR HIGHS TUESDAY WILL CONTINUE TO RUN ABOVE GUIDANCE
NUMBERS AS THAT TREND HAS YIELDED GOOD RESULTS FOR SEVERAL WEEKS
NOW. BIGGEST CONCERN IS ACROSS THE EAST WHERE FRONTAL INCURSION
FURTHER SOUTH THAN PROGGED OR A CONVECTIVE SOLUTION CLOSE TO THE NAM
DEPICTION WOULD YIELD COOLER TEMPS.

.LONG TERM...
12Z MODEL SOLUTIONS CONSISTENT WITH SHORTWAVE...CURRENTLY PASSING
ACROSS OREGON AND NEVADA...ROTATING AROUND LARGER TROUGH ACROSS THE
WEST. THIS DISTURBANCE SHOULD EMERGE OVER THE NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS
BY LATE TUESDAY/EARLY WEDNESDAY. THE DISTURBANCE...AIDED BY
CONVECTION...WILL HELP PUSH A COLD FRONT SOUTH INTO THE AREA. THE
EXACT ARRIVAL TIME OF THE BOUNDARY WILL BE HIGHLY DEPENDENT THE
STRENGTH...TIMING AND EXACT LOCATION OF CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPS IN
THE VICINITY OF THE FRONT. IN ANY CASE...STILL APPEARS A MCS WILL
FORM ALONG AND BEHIND THE FRONT TUESDAY EVENING...SOMEWHERE FROM SE
COLORADO TO SW KANSAS OR IN THE PANHANDLES...THEN TRANSLATE SE ALONG
THE BOUNDARY. APPEARS THERE IS STILL AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE MCS TO
CLIP THE NORTHEASTERN CWA BY EARLY WEDNESDAY AND HAVE MAINTAINED
CHANCE POPS WITH THAT IN MIND. FRONT SHOULD THEN MAKE ITS WAY
THROUGH THE CWA DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY...WITH MOIST EASTERLY FLOW
OVER THE AREA THURSDAY. HENCE...HAVE COOLED TEMPERATURES A BIT MORE
ON WEDNESDAY AND MAINTAINED MID 80S MOST AREAS THURSDAY. ALSO HAVE
KEPT THE CHANCE /30 POPS/ OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE
FORECAST FROM WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. SURFACE BASED
INSTABILITY LOOKS FAIRLY MODEST /1000 J/KG OR LESS/...BUT 0-6 KM
BULK SHEAR DOES IMPROVE INTO THE 20 TO 30 KNOT RANGE...SUGGESTING A
BETTER CHANCE OF STORM ORGANIZATION GIVEN INITIATION.
HOWEVER...UPPER LEVEL FLOW IS STILL QUITE WEAK.

BEYOND THURSDAY...RIDGE WILL AGAIN BUILD UP ACROSS WEST TEXAS FROM
THE WEST. THIS SHOULD PUT THE REGION IN NORTH TO NORTHEAST MID-LEVEL
FLOW...WHICH SHOULD SUPPRESS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR APPRECIABLE
PRECIPITATION. ADDITIONALLY...THE INCREASING LOWER ATMOSPHERIC
TEMPERATURES /THICKNESSES/ SUPPORT A WARMING TREND HEADING INTO THE
WEEKEND AND POSSIBLY INTO NEXT WEEK.
