AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX
156 PM CDT WED MAR 28 2007

.DISCUSSION...
DRYLINE IS BEGINNING TO MIX EAST AS SEEN ON KFDX RADAR IMAGERY AND
SURFACE OBS. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE CASE THIS AFTERNOON. 28/12Z
GUIDANCE DEPICTS THE DRYLINE SHARPENING OVER THE WESTERN/CENTRAL
PORTIONS OF THE TX/OK PANHANDLES LATE THIS AFTERNOON...WITH
CONVECTIVE INITIATION BEGINNING AS EARLY AS 20/21Z. THERE WILL BE
ADEQUATE INSTABILITY/SHEAR TO SUPPORT DISCRETE SUPERCELLS AS
INSOLATION ALLOWS THE CAP TO BREAK. LARGE SCALE LIFT WILL BE AIDED BY
THE APPROACHING UPPER-LEVEL TROF AND INCREASING DIFFLUENT PATTERN
ALOFT. EXPECT A WATCH TO BE ISSUED FOR PART/ALL OF THE AREA IN THE
NEXT ONE TO TWO HOURS.  SEE THE HWO AND/OR SPS FOR DETAILS ON THE
SEVERE THREAT THIS EVENING. EXPECT STORMS TO EVOLVE INTO LINEAR MCS
OVERNIGHT...ADDING THE THREAT OF HEAVY RAINFALL TO THE EQUATIONS AS
STORMS TRAIN OVER THE SAME AREAS. RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1-2 INCHES ARE
POSSIBLE EAST OF THE DRYLINE...WITH ISOLATED AMOUNTS OF 2-4 INCHES
POSSIBLE THROUGH TONIGHT.

WEAK PACIFIC FRONT IS EXPECTED TO OVERTAKE THE DRYLINE LATE IN THE
FIRST PERIOD WHICH WILL HELP SCOUR OUT THE MOISTURE FOR MOST OF THE
AREA. HOWEVER...UPPER-LOW WILL REMAIN CENTERED OVER COLORADO THROUGH
FRIDAY. WITH LIFT ENHANCED BY WEAK IMPULSES ROTATING AROUND THIS
LOW...THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH MOISTURE ACROSS THE EASTERN PANHANDLES
TO WARRANT THE MENTION OF SLIGHT CHANCE POPS THU AND FRI. AT THIS
TIME...IT APPEARS THAT MOISTURE WILL BE TOO LIMITED ACROSS THE
CENTRAL AND WESTERN ZONES. I DID LOWER MAX TEMPS A CATEGORY OR SO ON
FRIDAY BUT WE SHOULD STILL SEE MAX TEMPS WITHIN A FEW DEGREES OF
CLIMO.

AS UPPER-LOW DEPARTS TO THE EAST ON SATURDAY...QUASI-ZONAL MID/UPPER-
LEVEL FLOW WILL RESULT IN LEE-SIDE TROFFING. THIS WILL BRING A RETURN
TO SOUTH/SOUTHWEST FLOW AND WILL PUSH TEMPS BACK INTO THE MID AND
UPPER 70S BY SUNDAY. FLOW ALOFT WILL QUICKLY BECOME MORE
SOUTHWESTERLY BY MONDAY AS NORTHERN STREAM TROF DIGS INTO THE INTER-
MOUNTAIN WEST. H85 TEMPS ARE PROGGED TO CLIMB TO AROUND 20C ACROSS
THE AREA ON MONDAY...WHICH WILL SUPPORT TEMPS NEAR 80 DEGREES. GFS
DEPICTS A STRONGER COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE PANHANDLES ON
TUESDAY. WILL UNDERCUT THE MEX GUIDANCE BEHIND THIS FRONT AS IT KEEPS
TEMPS ABOVE CLIMO DESPITE PROGGING H85 TEMPS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS.
WILL NOT ADD PRECIP MENTION FOR THE FORECAST FOR TUESDAY BUT WILL
HAVE TO MONITOR THIS POSSIBILITY OVER THE NEXT FEW MODEL RUNS.
