AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LUBBOCK TX
645 PM CDT TUE JUN 12 2012

.AVIATION...
POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS TOPS THIS FCST. BEST CHANCES LOOK TO
BE INITIALLY AT KLBB PERHAPS AS EARLY AS 03Z-05Z BUT PERHAPS A BIT
LATER AS REFLECTED IN THE OFFICIAL FORECAST AT PRESENT. CURRENT
ACTIVITY SOUTHWEST OF KLBB SOME 100NM OR SO THOUGH WE WILL ALSO
HAVE TO CAREFULLY WATCH A CONVECTIVE SYSTEM OUT OF THE NW
PANHANDLE WHICH MAY AFFECT BOTH KLBB AND KCDS LATE TONIGHT.
OUTSIDE OF STORMS..CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN VFR.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 417 PM CDT TUE JUN 12 2012/

SHORT TERM...
PRETTY MUCH IN A HOLDING PATTERN TO SEE HOW THINGS EVOLVE THIS
AFTERNOON.  TTU AND OUN WRF RUNS ARE ALL SHOWING CONVECTION
DEVELOPING ACROSS EASTERN NEW MEXICO/PERMIAN BASIN WITH FURTHER
DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE SOUTH PLAINS.  THESE AREAS GRADUALLY CONGEAL
INTO A COUPLE OF MCS CLUSTERS...FIRST ONE THE MODELS HINT AT IS
ACTIVITY ACROSS THE PERMIAN BASIN MOVING EAST WITH THE SECOND ONE
DEVELOPING ACROSS NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO AND SLIDING SOUTHEAST ACROSS
THE PANHANDLE AND DOWN INTO THE NORTHERN SOUTH PLAINS/ROLLING
PLAINS.  UNFORTUNATELY THESE SCENARIOS DO NOT BODE TOO WELL FOR THE
HUB CITY BUT THERE STILL IS A CHANCE THAT WE COULD SEE SOME ACTIVITY
LATER THIS AFTERNOON.  LATEST SOUNDING INFORMATION FROM THE TEXAS
TECH MESONET INDICATES THAT THERE IS STILL A POST-OUTFLOW BOUNDARY
AIRMASS ACROSS THE REGION WITH DEEP BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE UP TO
AROUND 700 MB AND A FAIRLY HIGH FREEZING LEVEL.  THERE ALSO IS A
FAIRLY STRONG CAP OVER THE REGION IN THE TTU SOUNDING THAT WILL
NEED SOME HELP ERODING EITHER BY WEAK SYNOPTIC SCALE LIFT...
COOLING/DRYING ALOFT...OR CONTINUED MIXING OF THE BOUNDARY LAYER
AS TEMPERATURES WARM UP.

SHEAR PROFILES ARE STILL SUFFICIENT FOR SEVERE WEATHER ALTHOUGH THE
HAIL THREAT MAY BE MITIGATED SOMEWHAT BY THE HIGH FREEZING LEVELS.
WILL ALSO HAVE TO CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY OF HEAVY RAINFALL WITH
THE AMPLE BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE AND INITIAL SLOW STORM MOTION
BEFORE STORMS ORGANIZE INTO SOME FORM OF A COMPLEX/SYSTEM. BECAUSE
OF THE POSSIBILITY OF A SERIES OF STORM COMPLEXES AFFECTING THE
AREA LATE THIS EVENING AND AGAIN POSSIBLY OVERNIGHT...OPTED TO
KEEP POPS FAIRLY GENERALIZED TONIGHT THEN TAPER THEM OFF FOR
TOMORROW MORNING. CHANCES ONCE AGAIN INCREASE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON
AS THE NAM HINTS AT ANOTHER COMPLEX TRYING TO DEVELOP ACROSS
EASTERN NEW MEXICO AND SLIDES TOWARDS THE AREA THROUGH TOMORROW
AFTERNOON.

JORDAN

LONG TERM...
BRIEF UL RIDGING WILL EXIST TOMORROW EVENING THROUGH EARLY
THURSDAY MORNING...AS FORECAST MODELS HINT AT AN EMBEDDED
DISTURBANCE THAT MAY BE THE SYNOPTIC SPARK TO INITIATE STORMS
ALONG THE DRYLINE ACROSS EASTERN NEW MEXICO. ADEQUATE
SOUTHWESTERLY MEAN FLOW MAY ALLOW STORMS TO FILTER ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS TOMORROW NIGHT. LLJ INCREASING TO AOA 30 KTS
COMBINED WITH PWATS EXCEEDING 1.00 INCH...LITTLE TO NO CONVECTIVE
INHIBITION...AND BEING ABLE TO TAP INTO THE PROGGED SFC-BASED CAPE
VALUES OF 1.5-2.5 KG/KG SUGGESTS THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO
SEVERE STORMS WITH MODERATE RAINFALL...HAIL AND BRIEF GUSTY WINDS
THE PRIMARY THREATS. HOWEVER TONIGHTS ANTICIPATED CONVECTION COULD
WRECK HAVOC ON TOMORROW NIGHTS SUPPOSED CONVECTION...AS THE
DISPLACEMENT OF LINGERING BOUNDARIES COULD SERVE AS /1/ THE FOCUS
FOR BEST PRECIP AND /2/ POSSIBLY INDUCE LOWERED DEWPOINTS THAN
EXPECTED. WILL OPT TO MAINTAIN MENTIONABLE POPS WITH BEST CHANCES
ACROSS THE WEST NEAREST TO THE DRYLINE. STORMS DEVELOPING ALONG
THE DRYLINE MAY OCCUR ONCE AGAIN LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON...AS AN
UL TROUGH DIGS ESE ACROSS THE SOUTHWESTERN CONUS WHICH WILL
PROMOTE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT. AS A RESULT...THE DRYLINE WILL
MOVE CLOSER TO THE TEXAS/NEW MEXICO STATE LINE AS SOUTHEASTERLY
SFC WINDS EAST OF THE DRYLINE SURGES IN DEWPOINTS IN THE 50S AND
60S. SEVERE INDICES MAY BE SIMILAR TO TOMORROW NIGHT /SFC-BASED
CAPE AOA 2.5 KJ/KG...LITTLE TO NO CIN AND INVERTED-V SOUNDING
PROFILES/...AND THEREFORE POSE A THREAT FOR HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS.

THEREAFTER...THE AFOREMENTIONED SOUTHWESTERN CONUS UL DISTURBANCE
WILL RETROGRADE WEST ACROSS THE PACIFIC OCEAN...AND UA RIDGING WILL
COMMENCE ACROSS THE EASTERN CONUS. THIS SYNOPTIC SETUP WILL ALLOW
DEWPOINTS TO BE IN THE 50S AND 60S ACROSS THE CWA...AND ALSO CAUSE
THE DRYLINE TO LINGER NEAR THE TEXAS/NEW MEXICO LINE FRIDAY-SUNDAY.
LONG TERM SOLUTIONS FIRE STORMS ALONG THE DRYLINE AND ADEQUATE SOUTH
TO SOUTHWESTERLY MEAN FLOW SUGGESTS THE POTENTIAL FOR STORMS TO
FILTER ACROSS THE WESTERN ZONES EACH AFTERNOON/EVENING DURING THE
SAID PERIOD. EARLY NEXT...THE GFS AND TO A LESSER EXTENT THE ECMWF
DISPLAY A BROAD UA LOW DIGGING ESE ACROSS THE CENTRAL/HIGH
PLAINS...WITH ITS SOUTHERN PERIPHERY MOVING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS MONDAY...AND THUS ENCOURAGING FLOW ALOFT TO EVOLVE TO A
SLIGHT NORTHWEST FLOW. WEST TO NORTHWEST SFC WINDS WILL SHIFT THE
DRYLINE TO OFF THE CAPROCK MONDAY NIGHT...AND REMAINING THERE
THROUGH THE END OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD. AN INCOMING COLD FRONT MAY
PROVIDE ANOTHER FOCUS FOR STORMS ESPECIALLY IF IT IS CAPABLE OF
INTERACTING WITH THE LINGERING DRYLINE. WILL HOWEVER MAINTAIN SILENT
POPS BEYOND SUNDAY NIGHT...GIVEN THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN COULD DIFFER
BY DAY 7.

HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK

1132 AM CDT TUE JUN 12 2012

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR THE EXTREME SOUTHERN TEXAS
PANHANDLE...SOUTH PLAINS AND ROLLING PLAINS.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

CONVECTIVE

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING ACROSS MUCH OF THE OUTLOOK AREA...BUT WILL BE GREATEST
ACROSS THE EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN PANHANDLE AND THE WESTERN SOUTH
PLAINS. STRONG AND COOL EAST TO NORTHEAST WINDS EMANATING FROM
THUNDERSTORMS THAT MOVED ACROSS THE PANHANDLE EARLY THIS MORNING
HAVE STABILIZED THE AIR MASS ACROSS THE AREA AND HAVE SHIFTED THE
CONVERGENCE ZONE ALONG THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WELL WEST AND SOUTH OF
THE AREA. THIS BOUNDARY IS UNLIKELY TO SHIFT TOO FAR TO THE NORTH
THIS AFTERNOON DESPITE SOME HEATING DURING THE AFTERNOON. THUS...
THE MAIN FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORM INITIATION IS LIKELY TO BE OUTSIDE
THE OUTLOOK AREA. THUNDERSTORMS THAT FORM TO THE WEST OF THE AREA
ON THE HIGH TERRAIN OF NEW MEXICO WILL MOVE TO THE EAST AND ARE
EXPECTED TO ENTER THE WESTERN SOUTH PLAINS AREA THIS EVENING.
HOWEVER...HEATING THAT OCCURS THIS AFTERNOON WILL CAUSE SOME
DESTABILIZATION OF THE AIR MASS IN PLACE ACROSS THE AREA...AND
UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT FROM AN UPPER LEVEL JET STREAK AND DISTURBANCE
MOVING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS MAY RESULT IN SOME THUNDERSTORM
INITIATION WELL NORTH AND EAST OF THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY AS WELL.
IN BOTH OF THESE SCENARIOS ENOUGH INSTABILITY WILL BE PRESENT AND
WINDS IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE PARTS OF THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE
FAVORABLE FOR SOME STORMS TO BECOME SEVERE WITH HAIL TO THE SIZE
OF GOLFBALLS AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. ISOLATED TORNADOES AND MINOR
FLOODING WILL BE A LESSER RISK.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

THERE IS SLIGHT CHANCE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MUCH OF THE
AREA EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING FROM WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS THE PRIMARY THREATS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
