AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX
644 AM CST WED FEB 20 2013

.DISCUSSION...
A VERY COMPLICATED WEATHER SCENARIO IS EXPECTD TO UNFOLD TODAY THRU
ABOUT NOON THURSDAY. A POWERFUL UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND
ITS ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL AFFECT THE SRN HIGH PLAINS THRU
THURSDAY MORNING. THE SCREAMING MESSAGE THE PAST FEW DAYS HAS BEEN
FOR THIS SYSTEM TO SLOW DOWN AND DIG FURTHER S. THE ECMWF MODEL HAS
BEEN THE BEST PERFORMER WITH THIS NOTABLE TREND. THE NAM MODEL HAS
OUTPERFORMED OTHER MODELS WITH RESPECT TO DEPICTING COLDER
TEMPERATURES AND AN ATMOSPHERIC PROFILE FAVORABLE FOR MORE WINTRY
PRECIPITATION. THAT SAID...HAVE FOLLOWED A BLEND OF THE ECMWF AND NAM
MODELS FOR THIS FCST PCKG. WILL COMMENT THAT THE 06Z GFS HAS COME
INTO MUCH BETTER ALIGNMENT WITH THE ECMWF AND NAM WITH RESPECT TO
TIMING AND PROGGED TRACK OF THIS UPPER LOW. HOWEVER...THE 06Z GFS IS
STILL A LITTLE ON THE WARM SIDE. PUTTING ALL THIS TOGETHER...IT
APPEARS A VARIETY OF MIXED PRECIPITATION WILL LIKELY AFFECT MUCH OF
THE AREA DURG THE NEXT 24 TO 30 HOURS. BASED ON THE PROJECTED PATH OF
THIS UPPER LOW...WHICH IS FURTHER S THAN THE MODELS HAD 24 HOURS
AGO...IT SEEMS MORE OF THE AREA MAY SEE WINTER PRECIPITATION. IT
STILL APPEARS HIGHEST SNOW AND SLEET ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE IN NERN
ZONES...WITH LESSER AMOUNTS TOWARDS THE S AND W...SPECIFICALLY THE
SWRN TX PNHDL. HAVE DECIDED TO GO WITH A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR
NERN ZONES BEGINNING AT NOON TODAY AND ENDING AT NOON THURSDAY...AND
A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY ACROSS REST OF FCST AREA BEGINNING AT 6 PM
TODAY AND ENDING AT NOON THURSDAY. ISOLD TSTMS EVEN PSBL ACROSS SRN
TX PNHDL LATER TODAY AND THIS EVENING. HAVE INCREASED POPS FOR
THURSDAY MORNING ACROSS THE FCST AREA DUE TO THE SLOWER MODEL TRENDS
IN LIFTING THIS STORM COMPLETELY OUT OF THE FCST AREA. IMPROVING
CONDITIONS FROM SW TO NE THURSDAY.

ANOTHER WEAKER SHORTWAVE TROF IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS TX AND OK
PNHDLS FRI NIGHT..AND HAVE RETAINED SLGT CHC POPS FOR LIGHT RAIN AND
LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS NRN ZONES FRI NIGHT.

MODELS ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE WITH THE NEXT IN THE PARADE OF STORM
SYSTEMS SLATED TO AFFECT THE AREA SUNDAY AFTERNOON INTO EARLY MON.
HAVE SIDED WITH THE MORE CONSISTENT ECMWF AND CANADIAN MODELS...BOTH
OF WHICH SUPPORT THE LOW POPS FOR SUN AFTERNOON THRU MON MORNING. THE
06Z GFS HAS ALSO TRENDED A BIT TOWARDS THE ECMWF AND CANADIAN MODELS.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 612 AM CST WED FEB 20 2013/

AVIATION...
/12Z TAFS/ MAIN AVIATION CONCERNS CENTERS ON TIMING OF PRECIP AND THE
RESULTING IMPACTS OF IFR AND LIFR CIGS/VISBYS. EXPECT PERIODS OF
LIGHT RAIN TODAY AS A STRONG UPPER STORM SYSTEM OVER THE BAJA CA
REGION MOVES ACROSS SOUTHERN AZ/NM TODAY. HAVE INSERTED MENTION OF
VCTS AT KAMA BETWEEN 17-01Z ALTHOUGH CONFIDENCE OF TIMING AND
DEVELOPMENT OF TSRA IS LOW AS THE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY LOOKS TO BE
FRAILLY LOW. THINK SLIGHTLY COLDER AIR EXPECTED AT THE KDHT/KGUY
TERMINALS WILL GREATLY LIMIT THE THREAT OF TSRA. WHILE NOT EXPECTING
RAIN THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE DAY...CONFIDENCE IS RATHER LOW WRT TO THE
TIMING OF ANY SHOWERS/THUNDER CHANCES. CAN SEE A BRIEF PERIOD OF
RAIN/SNOW/ICE PELLETS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AT KGUY/KDHT AND EARLY
EVENING AT KAMA BEFORE PRECIP CHANGES TO ALL SNOW AS TEMPS COOL DOWN.
NWP MODELS HAVE TRENDED SLOWER WITH THIS SYSTEM SO EXPECT SNOW TO
CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY MORNING BEFORE ENDING BY EARLY AFTERNOON. CIGS
AN VISBYS ARE EXPECTED TO GENERALLY REMAIN IN THE IFR/LIFR RANGE
THROUGH THE ENTIRE VALID TAF FORECAST PERIOD. IN ADDITION GUSTY
SOUTHEAST WINDS OF 20 TO 30 KTS WILL CONTINUE INTO THIS EVENING
BEFORE DIMINISHING TO AROUND 15 KTS. FUTURE AMENDMENTS TO THE TAFS
WILL LIKELY BE REQUIRED DURING THE DAY.
