AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX
1253 PM CDT SAT MAY 28 2011
.AVIATION...
FOR THE 18Z TAFS...GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED.
MVFR CEILINGS AT KGUY SHOULD IMPROVE TO VFR 19-21Z. MVFR/IFR
CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY TO REDEVELOP AT KGUY 06-16Z...SO MENTIONED IN
TAFS. THESE LOWER CONDITIONS MAY BE CLOSE TO KDHT DURING THIS TIME
FRAME...BUT THINK THEY WILL STAY NORTH OF THIS SITE AS WELL AS KAMA.
SURFACE WINDS...MAINLY DIRECTION...REMAIN A BIG CHALLENGE. BELIEVE
WINDS WILL SWITCH TO THE SOUTHWEST AT KAMA 20-23Z....AND POSSIBLY AT
KDHT 22-01Z...THOUGH MUCH LESS CONFIDENT AT KDHT. THINK WINDS AT KGUY
WILL MAINLY HAVE AN EASTERLY COMPONENT THROUGH 15Z.
GUSTY SOUTH/SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL DEVELOP AT ALL SITES AFTER 15Z...
ESPECIALLY AT KAMA AND KDHT. A FEW GUSTS MAY APPROACH 40 KTS AT KAMA
AFTER 18Z...SO AN AIRPORT WEATHER WARNING MAY BE NECESSARY.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1052 AM CDT SAT MAY 28 2011/
UPDATE...
ADJUSTED DEWPOINTS AND TEMPERATURES ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA.
DISCUSSION...
CLOUDS ARE SLOWLY LIFTING ACROSS THE PANHANDLE REGION THIS MORNING AS
AMPLE MOISTURE REMAINS OVER MUCH OF THE AREA. CURRENTLY...THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINS SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA BUT WILL BEGIN TO
SLOWLY LIFT BACK NORTH AS A WARM FRONT LATE THIS AFTERNOON. DECIDED
TO GO AHEAD AND ADJUST DEWPOINTS UPWARDS A FEW DEGREES THIS
AFTERNOON AS MOST LOCATIONS HAVE DEWPOINTS STILL IN THE 50S AND 60S.
HIGH TEMPERATURES MAY BE IMPACTED SOME FROM THE CLOUD COVER...BUT
THIS SHOULD REALLY ONLY AFFECT LOCATIONS ACROSS THE OKLAHOMA AND
EXTREME NORTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLES. AS A RESULT...TEMPERATURES WERE
SLIGHTLY LOWERED IN THESE LOCATIONS WHILE INCREASED ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE.
KNS
PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 652 AM CDT SAT MAY 28 2011/
