AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX
1130 PM CST SUN JAN 27 2008
.AVIATION...
VFR THROUGH THE TAF CYCLE BUT DID INCLUDE BLOWING DUST AT KAMA FOR
TOMORROW AFTERNOON WHEN THE STRONGEST WINDS COULD BE. THIS COULD
BRIEFLY KNOCK VISIBILITIES INTO THE MVFR RANGE. WINDS WILL REMAIN
OUT OF THE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WITH SUSTAINED SPEEDS AROUND 20 KTS.
OCCASIONAL GUSTS UP TO 30 KTS COULD BE POSSIBLE BUT SHOULD NOT BE
PREVALENT THROUGH THE ENTIRE NIGHT. MONDAY STILL SHAPING UP TO BE
WINDY WITH SUSTAINED SPEEDS OF 30 TO 35 KTS AND GUSTS UP TO 45 KTS.
SPEEDS WILL DEPEND ON HOW THICK A HIGH LEVEL CLOUD SHIELD WILL BE.

AVIATION...
WIND SPEEDS CONTINUE TO DECREASE ACROSS THE AREA BUT WILL REMAIN IN
THE SUSTAINED 15 TO 20 KT RANGE OVERNIGHT AND THEN INCREASE ONCE
AGAIN MONDAY MORNING. MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE THAT SUSTAINED 30
KT WINDS WILL BE LIKELY AND WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE GUSTS OVER
40 KTS MONDAY AFTERNOON. HAVE HELD OFF ISSUING AVIATION WEATHER
WARNING FOR NOW TO SEE JUST HOW STRONG WINDS WILL BE MONDAY. ALSO
ADDED MENTION OF REDUCED VISIBILITIES DUE TO BLOWING DUST AT KAMA FOR
THE AFTERNOON HOURS WHEN THE WIND WILL BE THE STRONGEST.
JORDAN
PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 306 PM CST SUN JAN 27 2008/
DISCUSSION...
THERE IS A LOT TO TALK ABOUT OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THE MAIN CONCERN
IN THE SHORT TERM WILL BE THE STRONG WINDS AND ASSOCIATED FIRE
DANGER. DEWPOINTS HAVE BEEN SLOW TO INCREASE OVER THE NORTHWEST ONE
THIRD OF THE FORECAST AREA TODAY RESULTING IN RED FLAG CONDITIONS.
THE MODELS DID HAVE A HANDLE ON THE INCREASE MOISTURE ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST TODAY...BUT HAVE HAD A HARD TIME ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF
THE AREA. AS WINDS BECOME MORE WESTERLY FOR MONDAY...THE INCREASING
DOWNSLOPE COMPONENT WILL SERVE TO DRY THE LOWER LEVELS DESPITE THE
MID/UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM. THUS...MODEL
DEWPOINTS WERE UNDERCUT BY 5 TO 10 DEGREES FOR MONDAY AFTERNOON. WIND
SPEEDS SHOULD BE HIGHER TOMORROW THAN TODAY...WITH SUSTAINED WIND
SPEEDS OF 30 TO 40 MPH. WE COULD SEE GUSTS APPROACHING THE HIGH WIND
WARNING CRITERION OF 58 MPH AS WELL...BUT NO HIGH WIND WATCH WILL BE
ISSUED AT THIS TIME. INSTEAD...A WIND ADVISORY WILL BE ISSUED FOR
ROUGHLY THE NORTHWEST ONE OF OF THE FORECAST AREA. AN AVIATION
WEATHER WARNING WILL LIKELY BE REQUIRED AS WELL AS GUSTS SHOULD
EASILY ATTAIN THE 40 KT CRITERION. FOR MORE ON THE FIRE WEATHER
CONCERNS...SEE THE FIRE WEATHER DISCUSSION BELOW.
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE PANHANDLES MONDAY NIGHT. THE GFS
AND NAM HAVE QUITE DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS WITH HOW THIS WILL PLAY OUT
WITH THE GFS ABOUT 10 DEGREES COOLER THAN THE NAM. I STAYED CLOSER TO
THE PREVIOUS FORECAST THINKING THAT THE GFS IS A BIT TOO COLD SINCE
MOST OF THE COLD AIR WILL REMAIN TO OUR NORTH AND EAST. CLOUD COVER
DOES NOT LOOK TO BE EXCESSIVE EITHER...SO INSOLATION AND A DEVELOPING
WESTERLY WIND SHOULD HELP WARM TEMPS A BIT. IT WAS ALSO WORTH NOTING
THAT THE MAV WINDS WERE ABOUT 40 KTS TUESDAY MORNING...WHICH SEEMED
EXCESSIVELY HIGH. THESE WERE BROUGHT DOWN CLOSER TO 20 KTS WHICH
WILL STILL FALL IN THE BREEZY CATEGORY. A RAPID WARM UP IS EXPECTED
ON WEDNESDAY AS LEE TROFFING RESUMES. THIS SHOULD PUSH TEMPS BACK
INTO THE MID 50S FOR MOST LOCATIONS...WITH A FEW AREAS POTENTIALLY
REACHING THE UPPER 50S.
ANOTHER COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED ON THURSDAY. THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE IN
FAIR AGREEMENT WITH THE TIMING OF THIS SYSTEM...BRINGING A POTENT
TROF ACROSS THE DURING THE DAY THURSDAY. THE LOCATION OF THIS FEATURE
APPEARS TO BE FAVORABLE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF LIGHT PRECIPITATION ON
THURSDAY. ANY PRECIP COULD BEGIN AS EARLY AS WEDNESDAY NIGHT...BUT
THIS PERIOD WILL REMAIN DRY FOR NOW. POPS WERE INCREASED ACROSS THE
NORTHERN ZONES...BUT NOT QUITE TO THE SLIGHT CHANCE THRESHOLD.
PRECIP WOULD BEGIN AS LIGHT SNOW AND POSSIBLY MIX WITH LIGHT RAIN
DURING THE AFTERNOON IF TEMPS ARE ABLE TO WARM INTO THE 40S AS
PROGGED. AFTER THAT...A WARMING TREND IS EXPECTED WITH TEMPS CLIMBING
TO JUST ABOVE CLIMO. THE FORECAST REMAINS DRY AFTER THURSDAY.
JOHNSON
FIRE WEATHER...
RH VALUES TODAY REMAIN 10 TO 15 PERCENT ACROSS THE NORTHWEST ZONES
BUT MOISTURE HAS INCREASED SUFFICIENTLY ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE
AREA TO PRECLUDE RED FLAG CONDITIONS. HOWEVER...DRY CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED ON AGAIN ON MONDAY WITH RHS PROGGED TO DROP TO AT OR JUST
BELOW 15 PERCENT ACROSS THE WESTERN THREE STACKS OF COUNTIES IN THE
TEXAS PANHANDLE. IN ADDITION...WEST WINDS OF 30 TO 40 MPH...WITH
GUSTS EXCEEDING 50 MPH AT TIMES...WILL CREATE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS. SPC HAS INCLUDED THE PANHANDLES UNDER THE
CRITICAL CATEGORY FOR MONDAY /SEE FWDDY2/. THUS...A FIRE WEATHER
WATCH WILL BE ISSUED FOR THE AFOREMENTIONED AREA.
