AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX
723 AM CDT MON JUN 20 2011

.UPDATE...
UPDATED THE FORECAST TO INCLUDE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR PARTS OF THE
NORTHERN PANHANDLES. CONVECTION DEVELOPING THIS MORNING OVER THE
WESTERN OK PANHANDLE AND SHOULD CONTINUE TODAY AS THE UPPER LOW OVER
CO MOVES INTO WESTERN KS BY THIS AFTERNOON. SHORTWAVE ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS UPPER LOW WILL AFFECT THE OK PANHANDLE AND INSTABILITY WITH THE
COLD CORE UPPER LOW AND DAYTIME HEATING SHOULD TRIGGER ADDITIONAL
CONVECTION...MAINLY NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA BUT ALSO ACROSS THE
EXTREME NORTHERN PANHANDLES.

ALL PUBLIC AND FIRE WEATHER PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN UPDATED AND SENT.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 633 AM CDT MON JUN 20 2011/

AVIATION...
FOR THE 12Z TAFS...THE MAIN CONCERN REMAINS WIND. THE COLD FRONT HAS
ALREADY ENTERED THE NORTHWEST PART OF THE PANHANDLE REGION. AS A
RESULT...WIND AT KGUY AND KDHT ARE ALREADY NORTHWESTERLY AND SHOULD
SHIFT TO NORTHERLY LATER TODAY. AT KAMA THERE IS A BIT MORE
UNCERTAINTY. THE STRONG WESTERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE FOR AT LEAST THE
NEXT FEW HOURS. WINDS COULD BE NEAR BUT ARE NOT EXPECTED TO SURPASS
AWW CRITERIA AT THIS TIME. TIMING OF THE WIND SHIFT AT KAMA IS THE
MOST UNCERTAIN AS THE FRONT COULD SLOW AFTER SUNRISE THIS
MORNING...THOUGH IT SHOULD STILL ARRIVE BY 00Z.

MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED. HOWEVER...A BROAD DECK OF MVFR
CLOUDS HAS DEVELOPED BEHIND THE FRONT THIS MORNING. NOT ONLY COULD
THESE LOW CLOUDS AFFECT KGUY AND KDHT THROUGH 15Z...BUT THERE IS A
MINIMAL CHANCE THAT MVFR CONDITIONS WILL REDEVELOP TONIGHT AS
MOISTURE POOLS BEHIND THE FRONT.

FIRE WEATHER...
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS POSSIBLE MAINLY ACROSS THE TX

ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHWEST SECTIONS. ALSO...LOW CLOUDS ARE
EXPECTED TO SLIP INTO THE OK PANHANDLE AND MAY PUSH INTO THE TX
PANHANDLE THIS MORNING. 20 FOOT WINDS AHEAD AND BEHIND THE COLD
