What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Amarillo, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Sep 5, 3:50 PM CDT, 1 hour 13 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 5, 3:50 PM CDT, 1 hour 13 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX 350 PM CDT WED SEP 5 2012 .DISCUSSION... MAIN FOCUS IS ON THUNDERSTORM CHANCES THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT INCLUDING SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL...AND COOLER TEMPERATURES TO INVADE THE REGION FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND BEHIND A STRONG COLD FRONT. SURFACE COLD FRONT HAS PULLED UP NEARLY STATIONARY ACROSS THE TX PANHANDLE THIS AFTERNOON...ROUGHLY BISECTING THE TX PANHANDLE FROM NORTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST. A COUPLE OTHER BOUNDARIES/CONVERGENCE ZONES AREA ALSO IN PLACE ACROSS THE AREA BASED ON RADAR/SATELLITE IMAGERY...INCLUDING ONE ORIENTED MORE WEST/EAST NEAR THE SOUTHERN CWA BORDER AND MORE OF A MOISTURE BOUNDARY EXTENDING SOUTH FROM NEAR DALHART. QUITE A MOISTURE GRADIENT IN PLACE ACROSS THE AREA...WITH SFC DEWPOINTS RANGING FROM THE UPPER 30S AT CLAYTON NM AND SPRINGFIELD CO TO THE MID 60S IN THE SOUTHEAST TX PANHANDLE. LAPS/RUC ANALYSIS MLCAPE FIELDS MIRROR THIS TREND...WITH VIRTUALLY NO INSTABILITY ACROSS THE WESTERN OK PANHANDLE...AND 1500-2500 J/KG SOUTHEAST OF THE FRONT. DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS ON THE ORDER OF 20-30 KTS...SO THIS COMBINATION OF SHEAR AND CAPE WILL SUPPORT A THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING GENERALLY ALONG AND SOUTHEAST OF A DALHART TO GUYMON LINE. SUBTLE MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVES CONTINUE TO RIPPLE ACROSS THE AREA ON THE SOUTHERN FRINGE OF FASTER WEST/NORTHWESTERLY FLOW SANDWICHED BETWEEN SOUTHERN UPPER RIDGE AND LARGE UPPER TROUGH OVER CANADA/THE NORTHERN TIER STATES. ONE SUCH SHORTWAVE AND THE RRQ OF AN UPPER JET STREAK HAVE BEEN SUSTAINING CONVECTION ACROSS THE EASTERN OK PANHANDLE...WITH A TRAILING LITTLE STRONGER WAVE APPROACHING OUT OF CO/NORTHERN NM. EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING GIVEN THE COMBINATION OF LOW- LEVEL AND UPPER-LEVEL FORCING...ALONG WITH THE INSTABILITY IN PLACE. A 30 KT SOUTHERLY LLJ WILL DEVELOP LATER THIS EVENING IN RESPONSE TO FALLING PRESSURE/HEIGHTS AT LOW LEVELS ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS...AS WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT STRENGTHENS AHEAD OF A STRONG MID/UPPER-LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH DIGGING SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. RESULTANT WAA/MOISTURE ADVECTION WILL HELP TO SUSTAIN CONVECTION THROUGH THE EVENING AND POSSIBLY OVERNIGHT...ALTHOUGH THE MAIN CLUSTER OF STORMS WILL LIKELY PUSH SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT. SURFACE WINDS WILL ALSO VEER AROUND TO THE SOUTHEAST AND EVENTUALLY SOUTH OVERNIGHT IN RESPONSE TO FALLING SURFACE PRESSURES AHEAD OF THE UPPER WAVE...WHICH WILL BEGIN TO LIFT THE STALLED SURFACE FRONT BACK NORTHWARD AS A WARM FRONT. THE WARM FRONT IS EXPECTED TO LIFT NORTH OF THE PANHANDLES ON THURSDAY...GIVING WAY TO SOUTHERLY SURFACE FLOW ACROSS THE AREA. DEEPEST LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE AND ASSOCIATED STRONGEST INSTABILITY /MLCAPES IN THE 1500-2000 J/KG RANGE/ IS EXPECTED TO BE ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE OK PANHANDLE AND NORTHEAST TX PANHANDLE...DIMINISHING TO THE SOUTHWEST. THE AREA WILL REMAIN ON THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF STRONGER WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PLAINS...AND IT APPEARS THAT ANOTHER WEAK MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE RIDING THROUGH THIS FLOW AND SOME UPPER JET ENERGY COULD COMBINE WITH DESTABILIZATION FROM DAYTIME HEATING TO HELP TRIGGER ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS. WEAK CONVERGENCE ALONG A SURFACE TROUGH NEAR THE NORTHWEST CWA MAY ALSO SERVE AS A FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORMS. DEEP LAYER SHEAR PROGGED TO BE AROUND 30 KTS IN THE NORTHEAST /DECREASING TO 20 KTS IN THE SOUTH/ COMBINED WITH THE AVAILABLE INSTABILITY WILL SUPPORT A SEVERE THREAT ONCE AGAIN. A 40 KT LLJ DEVELOPING THURSDAY NIGHT AHEAD OF A STRONG COLD FRONT IMPINGING ON THE AREA MAY HELP TO SUSTAIN CONVECTION OVERNIGHT. THE MUCH ADVERTISED STRONG COLD FRONT IS STILL ON SCHEDULE TO SWEEP THROUGH THE PANHANDLES ON FRIDAY...LIKELY PASSING THROUGH ALL BUT THE SOUTHEAST TX PANHANDLE BY MIDDAY. SOME CHANCE FOR RAIN WILL ACCOMPANY THE FRONT...HOWEVER THE TIME OF DAY OF ITS PASSAGE AND DRY AIR ADVECTION BEHIND IT WILL LIMIT THE CHANCES. PRECIPITATION CHANCES LOOK TO BE LIMITED PRIMARILY TO THE EASTERN PANHANDLES AND FAR SOUTHERN TX PANHANDLE. SOME DECENT MID AND UPPER-LEVEL FORCING WILL GRAZE THE AREA AS THE POTENT WAVE DIVES SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS FRIDAY INTO THE LOWER/MID MS VALLEY BY SATURDAY MORNING. HOWEVER...THESE DYNAMICS WILL LARGELY LAG THE SURFACE FRONT AND THUS WILL BE BATTLING DRY AIR AND MAY LARGELY GO TO WASTE. JUST ENOUGH MOISTURE MAY LINGER IN THE SOUTH TO SUPPORT A SMALL CHANCE OF RAIN AS THE DYNAMICS SWING ACROSS THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. THE GFS REMAINS MUCH MORE BULLISH WITH QPF THAN THE NAM AND ECMWF...BUT APPEARS WAY OVERDONE WITH LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE. COULD SEE A FEW STRONG STORMS IN THE SOUTHEAST FRIDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING BASED ON ITS SOLUTION...BUT AGAIN BELIEVE IT IS TOO MOIST AND THUS ITS INSTABILITY IS WAY OVERDONE. ANY THREAT FOR PRECIP WILL SLIDE SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA LATE FRIDAY NIGHT AS A STRONG SURFACE HIGH BUILDS IN BEHIND THE FRONT. DRY CONDITIONS ARE THEN EXPECTED SATURDAY INTO MID NEXT WEEK. SIGNIFICANT COOL DOWN STILL EXPECTED FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY BEHIND THE FRONT...WITH HIGHS IN THE 70S TO LOWER 80S ON SATURDAY. TEMPS WILL THEN GRADUALLY MODERATE SUNDAY INTO MID NEXT WEEK AS A DAMPENED UPPER RIDGE SLIDES EAST ACROSS THE AREA EARLY IN THE WEEK...GIVING WAY TO A MORE ZONAL FLOW ALOFT BY MID WEEK. NEXT COLD FRONT MAY DROP IN TUESDAY NIGHT OR WEDNESDAY...BUT LOOKS MUCH WEAKER THAN THE FRIDAY ONE. KB && .FIRE WEATHER... NO ELEVATED OR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED INTO MID NEXT WEEK. NORTH WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 20 TO 30 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS FRIDAY BEHIND A STRONG COLD FRONT...BUT RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL REMAIN AROUND 30 PERCENT OR HIGHER. KB && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
