INCLUDED A CB MENTION AT KGUY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SOME
CU HAS BEGUN TO DEVELOP OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF SOUTHERN

BETTER UPPER FORCING...THEN WORK INTO THE OK PANHANDLE LATE THIS
AFTERNOON OR EVENING. ANY THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 649 AM CDT SAT JUN 18 2011/

UPDATE...
UPDATED FOR 12Z AVIATION DISCUSSION.

AVIATION.../12Z TAFS/
BRIEF MVFR CEILINGS CAN BE EXPECTED AT KAMA AND KDHT OVER THE NEXT
COUPLE HOURS. CONFIDENCE OF MVFR CEILINGS AT KGUY IS LOW SO VFR
CONDITIONS WERE MAINTAINED THERE. OTHERWISE ALL TERMINALS SHOULD BE
AT VFR CONDITIONS BY 1400Z AND REMAIN THERE FOR THE REST OF THE
FORECAST.

WINDS WILL BE OUT OF THE NORTH AT ALL TERMINALS UNTIL SWINGING AROUND
TO A WEST/SOUTHWESTERLY DIRECTION BY 1800Z TO 2000Z. WINDS WILL
INCREASE TO NEAR 15 KNOTS WITH GUST AROUND 25 KNOTS AT KAMA AND KDHT
BY 1800Z BEFORE DIMINISHING THIS EVENING. WINDS AT KGUY SHOULD REMAIN
BELOW 15 KNOTS THROUGH THE DAY BEFORE DIMINISHING THIS EVENING AS
WELL.

DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 407 AM CDT SAT JUN 18 2011/

MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS ARE STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING ACROSS THE NORTHEAST AND FIRE WEATHER ON SUNDAY.

COLD FRONT IS EASILY SEEN ON RADAR MOVING SOUTH ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
TEXAS PANHANDLE. GUSTY NORTHERLY TO NORTHEASTERLY WINDS ACCOMPANY
THIS FRONT AND THIS BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO PUSH SOUTH THROUGH THE
REST OF THE AREA THIS MORNING. LOCATIONS ACROSS THE NORTHERN
PANHANDLES SHOULD BE BEHIND THE FRONT FOR MOST OF THE DAY...WHICH
SHOULD KEEP TEMPS IN THE LOWER 90S. TEMPS SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM
CLIMBING INTO THE UPPER 90S TO 100S ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TEXAS
PANHANDLE AS WEST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS RESUME. LATEST NAM/SREF/4KM SPC
WRF SUPPORT CONVECTION DEVELOPING ALONG RETREATING FRONT AS
SHORTWAVE TROUGH GLANCES ACROSS THE NORTHERN ZONES LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HAVE INTRODUCED SOME LOW END POPS ROUGHLY
ALONG AND NORTH OF A LINE FROM LIPSCOMB TO TEXLINE. MLCAPES SHOULD
CLIMB BETWEEN 1500 AND 2000 J/KG ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE
OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE...SO A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WOULD
BE POSSIBLE.

SHORT TERM MODELS ALL AGREE THAT FRONT WILL BE WELL NORTH OF THE
AREA ON SUNDAY...AS 990MB SURFACE LOW DEVELOPS OVER EASTERN
COLORADO. SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL ONCE AGAIN INCREASE AS PRESSURE
GRADIENT STRENGTHENS. TEMPERATURES SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM SOARING
BACK INTO TRIPLE DIGITS ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA...WITH RECORD HIGHS
POSSIBLE AT AMARILLO AND BORGER. BELIEVE WINDS WILL FALL JUST SHY OF
ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS...BUT STILL ANTICIPATING SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS
AROUND 25 TO 30 MPH WITH SOME GUSTS BETWEEN 40 AND 45 MPH DURING THE
AFTERNOON HOURS.

UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL EMERGE INTO THE PLAINS ON MONDAY...WITH THE
FRONT TO MOVE BACK THROUGH AREA. HOWEVER...DIFFERENCES CREEP UNTIL
IN HANDLING THIS FRONT BETWEEN THE NAM/GFS. THE NAM BRINGS THE FRONT
THROUGH THE NORTHERN PARTS OF THE CWA LATE SUNDAY NIGHT/EARLY MONDAY
MORNING...HANGS IT UP ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE DAY MONDAY AND JUST
ABOUT THROUGH THE REGION BY 00Z TUESDAY. GFS IS SLOWER WITH THE
FRONT BRINGING IT INTO THE NORTHERN PARTS OF THE PANHANDLES BY 00Z.
THIS COULD POTENTIALLY MAKE FOR A TRICKY TEMPERATURE FORECAST AND
COMPLICATE FIRE WEATHER ISSUES ON MONDAY. WILL KEEP A STATUS QUO
WITH THE FORECAST AND HOPE MODELS CONVERGE A SOLUTION IN SUBSEQUENT
RUNS.

BEHIND THE FRONT...TEMPERATURES WILL BE SOME 15 TO 20 DEGREES COOLER
FOR TUESDAY WITH LOWER/MID 80S. FORECAST WILL REMAIN DRY THOUGH AS
BETTER CHANCES FOR PRECIP WILL CONTINUE OVER OKLAHOMA.

THE STALLED FRONT ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHERN ZONES ON WEDNESDAY MORNING
WILL MIX NORTH DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY. SOUTH OF THE FRONT
TEMPERATURES WILL RISE INTO THE UPPER 80S AND LOWER 90S ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE. NORTH OF THE FRONT IN THE NORTHERN TEXAS
PANHANDLE AND OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN IN THE
MID 80S. WITH REGARDS TO PRECIPITATION CHANCES...SOUTH OF THE FRONT
THERE WILL BE SURFACE UPSLOPE FLOW IN PLACE WHICH WILL KEEP SOME
MOISTURE IN PLACE AND WITH A RIDGE ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST UNITED STATES
THIS WOULD KEEP THE AREA UNDER NORTHWEST FLOW. IT APPEARS THOUGH THAT
ANY MOUNTAIN CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPS WILL REMAIN NORTH OF THE
FORECAST AREA.

THURSDAY WILL BE MUCH WARMER WITH THE FRONT MIXED OUT OF THE AREA AND
ALSO WITH THE RIDGE STARTING TO MAKE ITS WAY EAST. TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE
FROM THE UPPER 80S IN THE NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE TO THE UPPER
90S IN THE FAR SOUTHEAST TEXAS PANHANDLE. IT APPEARS THAT A WEAK
DRYLINE WILL PUSH EAST INTO THE EASTERN PART OF THE AREA BY THE
AFTERNOON HOURS. SOME OF THE MODELS DO TRY TO DEVELOP PRECIPITATION
IN THE EASTERN PART OF THE AREA BUT WITH ONLY WEAK NORTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT PRECIPITATION WILL STRUGGLE TO DEVELOP.

FRIDAY APPEARS TO BE THE BEGINNING OF ANOTHER VERY WARM PERIOD WITH A
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE WEST. TEMPERATURES ON
FRIDAY WILL BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST
AREA. A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE IN SOUTHEAST COLORADO APPEARS TO DEEPEN DURING
THE AFTERNOON HOURS WHICH WILL PUSH THE DRYLINE EAST OF THE FORECAST
AREA LEAVING THE AREA DRY AND WITH WINDIER CONDITIONS DURING THE
AFTERNOON HOURS.

BEYOND FRIDAY IT APPEARS THAT THE RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD IN
WITH HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS PREVAILING.

FIRE WEATHER...
ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL EXIST ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST HALF
OF THE TEXAS PANHANDLE TODAY...WITH SOUTHWEST TO WEST WINDS OF 15 TO
20 MPH AND MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUE BETWEEN 10 AND 15 PERCENT.
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL ARE ANTICIPATED ON SUNDAY
ACROSS ALL OF THE TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA PANHANDLES AS SOUTHWEST WINDS
INCREASE BETWEEN 20 AND 30 MPH WITH GUSTS TO NEAR 40 MPH AND MINIMUM
RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES BETWEEN 5 AND 10 PERCENT. ELEVATED TO
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL BE CONDITIONAL ON MONDAY
DEPENDING ON THE TIMING OF A COLD FRONT. IF THE COLD FRONT MOVES
THROUGH THE AREA QUICKER THAN CURRENT THINKING...THEN LIGHTER WINDS
AND HIGHER RELATIVE HUMIDITY WOULD NEGATE A FIRE WEATHER THREAT.
