NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX
1148 PM CDT SUN APR 17 2011

.AVIATION...
06Z TAFS...SURFACE LOW WILL CONTINUE TO SLIDE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE
PANHANDLES OVERNIGHT...PRODUCING SOME CHANGING WIND DIRECTIONS AND
SPEEDS AT THE TERMINALS. WINDS HAVE ALREADY SWUNG AROUND TO THE
NORTHEAST AT KGUY...WITH SOME BRIEF GUSTS OVER 30 KTS DUE TO 3-4MB
PRESSURE RISES BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. WINDS AT KDHT EXPECTED TO VEER
TO THE NORTH BY 06Z AND AT KAMA TO THE NORTHWEST BETWEEN 07 AND 09Z.
NOT ANTICIPATING AS STRONG AS GUSTS AS WHAT OCCURRED AT KGUY...BUT
COULD SEE SOME GUSTS TO AROUND 25 KTS. WINDS WILL WEAKEN AFTER 09Z
AND PREVAIL OUT OF THE NORTHWEST INTO LATE MONDAY MORNING. AS SURFACE
LOW PRESSURE REDEVELOPS OVER SOUTHEAST CO...WINDS AT KAMA AND KDHT
WILL BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST LATE MONDAY MORNING. WIND SPEEDS AT THESE
TWO TERMINALS WILL INCREASE TO JUST OVER 20 KTS WITH GUSTS AROUND 30
KTS MONDAY AFTERNOON...BEFORE WEAKENING AROUND SUNSET. AT KGUY...WINDS
WILL CONTINUE TO VEER AROUND THE DIAL ON MONDAY...WITH LIGHT
NORTHWEST WINDS VEERING THROUGH THE NORTHEAST EVENTUALLY TO SOUTHEAST
BY LATE MORNING...AND THEN CONTINUING TO VEER TO THE SOUTHWEST IN THE
AFTERNOON WITH SPEEDS INCREASING TO NEAR 20 KTS WITH GUSTS OF 25-30
KTS BEFORE DISSIPATING AROUND SUNSET. VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH
THE PERIOD UNDER SCT-BKN HIGH CLOUDS.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 643 PM CDT SUN APR 17 2011/

AVIATION...
00Z TAFS...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE NEXT 24
HOURS. WEAK MIDLEVEL SHORTWAVE WILL BRING SOME SCT MIDLEVEL CLOUDS IN
THE 12-15 KFT AGL RANGE TO THE TERMINALS THIS EVENING...BUT OTHERWISE
ONLY EXPECTING SCT-BKN HIGH CLOUDS THROUGH THE PERIOD. WINDS WILL BE
THE BIGGER CONCERN...DUE BOTH TO SOME DIRECTION CHANGES AND
INCREASING SPEEDS MONDAY AFTERNOON. WEST/SOUTHWEST WINDS EARLY THIS
EVENING WILL VEER TO THE NORTHWEST LATE THIS EVENING OR EARLY
OVERNIGHT /DEPENDING ON TERMINAL LOCATION/ AS A SURFACE LOW PUSHES
SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE PANHANDLES. WINDS AT KAMA AND KDHT WILL THEN
BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST LATE MONDAY MORNING AS SURFACE LOW PRESSURE
REDEVELOPS OVER SOUTHEAST CO. WIND SPEEDS AT THESE TWO TERMINALS WILL
INCREASE TO 20-25 KTS WITH GUSTS AROUND 30 KTS MONDAY AFTERNOON. AT
KGUY...WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO VEER AROUND THE DIAL ON MONDAY...WITH
LIGHT NORTHWEST WINDS VEERING THROUGH THE NORTHEAST EVENTUALLY TO
SOUTHEAST BY LATE MORNING...AND THEN CONTINUING TO VEER TO THE
SOUTHWEST IN THE AFTERNOON WITH SPEEDS INCREASING TO NEAR 20 KTS WITH
GUSTS OF 25-30 KTS.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 348 PM CDT SUN APR 17 2011/

DISCUSSION...
SURFACE TROUGH HAS FAIRLY CLOSE TO THE NORTHERN PARTS OF THE
PANHANDLES THIS AFTERNOON...ALLOWING FOR RELATIVELY LIGHT WIND SPEEDS
ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA. THE ONE EXCEPTION IS ACROSS THE FAR
SOUTHWESTERN CWA WHERE THE SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS MAY APPROACH 20 MPH.
TEMPS HAVE CLIMBED INTO THE MIDDLE AND UPPER 80/S THIS AFTERNOON
UNDER PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES. TONIGHT...THE SURFACE LOW WILL MOVE
SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA WITH WINDS SWITCHING AROUND TO THE WNW TO
NORTHWEST. LOWS WILL RANGE FROM THE MIDDLE 40S IN THE WESTERN
OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE TO LOWER/MIDDLE 50S IN THE SOUTHEAST TEXAS
PANHANDLE.

THE NEXT FAST MOVING SHORTWAVE EMBEDDED IN THE ZONAL FLOW WILL MOVE
ACROSS THE AREA TOMORROW. SURFACE LOW WILL DEVELOP ACROSS EASTERN
COLORADO BY 18Z WITH SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTHWARD.
HOWEVER...MOS GUIDANCE HAS COME DOWN A BIT ON THE WIND SPEEDS FOR
TOMORROW AFTERNOON AS PRESSURE GRADIENT MAY NOT BE AS STRONG AS
PREVIOUSLY ANTICIPATED. THINK THE STRONGEST WIND SPEEDS WILL BE FOUND
ACROSS THE WESTERN ZONES WHERE A RETURN TO SOUTH... SOUTHWESTERLY
WINDS WILL OCCUR FIRST. DO NOT THINK ADVISORY CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR
TOMORROW AS WINDS SHOULD REMAIN MORE IN THE 25 TO PERHAPS 30 MPH
RANGE. TEMPS WILL BE QUITE WARM ON MONDAY WITH UPPER 80S IN THE
NORTHERN ZONES TO LOWER/MIDDLE 90S IN THE SOUTHERN ZONES.

UPPER LEVEL LOW BECOMES MORE SOUTHWESTERLY ON TUESDAY IN ADVANCE OF
THE NEXT UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. HIGHEST CONFIDENCE FOR THE STRONGEST
WINDS IS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ZONES WHERE ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS MAY
MATERIALIZE. OF NOTE THOUGH...12Z MAV HAS RETURNED SOME VERY HIGH
WINDS FOR TUESDAY WITH SUSTAINED SPEEDS BETWEEN 35 AND 40 KNOTS IN
THE AFTERNOON. NOT QUITE CONFIDENT TO GO THAT HIGH ON THE WINDS JUST
YET THOUGH. IN ADDITION...THE SHORT TERM MODELS INDICATING NOW THAT
THE COLD FRONT WILL BEGIN TO MOVE INTO THE NORTHERN ZONES AROUND 21Z
WHICH COULD COMPLICATE THE WIND AND FIRE WEATHER THREAT FOR THE DAY.
BUMPED WIND SPEEDS DOWN JUST A BIT FOR TUESDAY AND STARTED TO BRING
THE WIND SHIFT INTO THE NORTHERN ZONES DURING THE AFTERNOON.
ALSO...LOWERED TEMPS A FEW DEGREES IN THE FAR NORTHERN OKLAHOMA
PANHANDLE ON TUESDAY. TEMPS MAY BECOME MORE PROBLEMATIC ON TUESDAY
IF TRENDS DICTATE A FASTER ARRIVAL WITH THE FRONT. AS WITH THE LAST
FEW DAYS...THE NAM CONTINUES TO PAINT SOME QPF ACROSS THE NORTHERN
ZONES LATE IN THE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING. WILL CONTINUE WITH A DRY
FORECAST THOUGH AS THE LAST SEVERAL SYSTEMS ALL HAVE REMAINED NORTH
OF THE AREA WITH LITTLE IF ANY PRECIP OCCURRING.

COLD FRONT SHOULD MOVE SOUTH OF THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT...WITH COOLER
TEMPS IN STORE FOR WEDNESDAY. INHERITED TEMPS OF LOWER/MID 60S IN
THE NORTH TO LOWER/MID 70S IN THE SOUTH SEEM REASONABLE. SURFACE
TROUGH DEVELOPS ONCE AGAIN ON THURSDAY...BUT MAY ACTUALLY SET UP A
BIT FURTHER WEST THIS TIME. THIS COULD ALLOW FOR SOME HIGHER
DEWPOINTS TO ADVECT INTO THE EASTERN ZONES COURTESY OF SOUTHEASTERLY
UPSLOPE WINDS. DRYLINE MAY ALSO SET UP IN THE AREA...AND THE GFS IS
IN FACT HINTING AT SOME THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING OFF THE CAPROCK.
STILL TOO EARLY TO TO PINPOINT THE EXACT DETAILS SO WILL HOLD ON TO
NON MENTIONABLE POPS ATTM.

FIRE WEATHER...
ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EARLY
EVENING WITH SOUTHWEST TO WEST WINDS OF 15 TO 20 MPH AND RELATIVE
HUMIDITY VALUES BETWEEN 5 AND 10 PERCENT. CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE PANHANDLES ON MONDAY AS STRONG
SOUTHWEST WINDS COMBINE WITH DRY CONDITIONS. HIGHEST CONFIDENCE FOR
RED FLAG CONDITIONS WILL BE ACROSS THE WESTERN PANHANDLES BUT WILL
CONTINUE THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH ACROSS ALL THE AREA FOR NOW. ANOTHER
ROUND OF ELEVATED TO CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS MAY EVOLVE ON
TUESDAY SOUTH OF AN ADVANCING COLD FRONT.
