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 May 29, 2:52 PM CDT, 1 hour 11 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 29, 2:52 PM CDT, 1 hour 11 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX
252 PM CDT WED MAY 29 2013

.SHORT TERM...
THE DRYLINE REMAINS APPROXIMATELY ALONG A LINE FROM GUYMON...WEST OF
GRUVER...WEST OF BORGER...EAST OF AMARILLO...TO WAYSIDE. STORMS HAVE
ALREADY DEVELOPED ALONG THIS DRYLINE AND ONE QUICKLY BECAME SEVERE
THOUGH IT HAS WEAKENED SOMEWHAT LATELY.

THE ATMOSPHERE STILL LOOKS VERY UNSTABLE EAST OF THE DRYLINE...THE
18Z KAMA SOUNDING HAD A CAPE VALUE OF 2500 J/KG WITH A MINIMAL CAP.
THUS ANY STORMS THAT DEVELOP COULD QUICKLY BECOME SEVERE. ONE
LIMITING FACTOR AT LEAST INITIALLY COULD BE A BROAD THICK CIRRUS
ANVIL COVERING AREAS AHEAD OF WHERE THESE STORMS WILL BE MOVING
INTO...LIMITING THE HEATING AHEAD OF THE STORMS. AS FOR
HAZARDS...HAIL AND WINDS REMAIN THE PRIMARY HAZARDS...THOUGH
TORNADOES ARE ALSO A POSSIBILITY. IN ADDITION...GIVEN TRAINING
STORMS...THERE COULD BE A LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING THREAT.

EXPECT THIS DRYLINE TO CONTINUE PROGRESS EAST THROUGH AT LEAST THE
DAY TIME HOURS. THERE IS SOME DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN MODELS IF THE
DRYLINE WILL RETREAT AFTER SUNSET. EVEN IF IT DOES RETREAT DOUBT THAT
IT WILL MOVE ANY FURTHER WEST OF IT/S CURRENT POSITION.

.LONG TERM...
AS THE MAIN UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGH LIFTS NORTHEAST...SHOULD
SEE A TRANSITION TO A DRIER PATTERN OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. NO MAJOR
CHANGES THROUGH THE LONG TERM AS THE PREVIOUS FORECAST LOOKS ON TRACK
AND FOCUS WAS ON THE IMPACTS IN THE SHORT TERM.

JOHNSON
&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
DRIER AIR IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE PANHANDLES TOMORROW AS RELATIVE
HUMIDITY VALUES SHOULD BE BELOW 15 PERCENT FOR ALL OF THE OKLAHOMA
AND TEXAS PANHANDLES. ELEVATED TO NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL TEXAS
PANHANDLE WHERE THE WINDS WILL BE NEAR OR ABOVE 15 MPH. ELEVATED TO
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL AGAIN BE POSSIBLE IN THE
WESTERN TEXAS PANHANDLE ON FRIDAY DUE TO LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES
AND STRONG WINDS.
