AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX
1122 PM CDT TUE MAY 6 2014

.AVIATION...
NO REAL CHANGES FROM FORECAST OF SIX HOURS AGO.  SOUTHWEST SURFACE
WINDS OF 15 KT OR LOWER EXPECTED TO PREVAIL OVERNIGHT.  NO OVERNIGHT
FOG OR BR EXPECTED.

SOUTHWEST SURFACE WINDS EXPECTED TO BE SLIGHTLY HIGHER ON WEDNESDAY
AS COMPARED TO TUESDAY.  AVIATION WEATHER WARNING FOR GUSTS OF 40 TO
45 KT AT AMARILLO AREA AIRPORTS HAS BEEN ISSUED VALID 17Z WEDNESDAY
TO 02Z THURSDAY.  BLOWING DUST EXPECTED TO LOWER VISIBILITIES INTO
MVFR RANGE.

DRYLINE AND THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORMS REMAIN WELL EAST OF ALL TERMINALS
WEDNESDAY EVENING.

COCKRELL

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 641 PM CDT TUE MAY 6 2014/

AVIATION...
SOUTHWEST SURFACE WINDS EXPECTED TO GUST TO AROUND 25 KT FOR ANOTHER
HOUR OR SO...AND TO THEN DIMINISH TO AROUND 15 KT SUSTAINED FOR THE
REST OF THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT.  ONLY A FEW HIGH CLOUDS CAN BE
EXPECTED.  NO OVERNIGHT FOG OR BR EXPECTED.

WEDNESDAY EXPECTED TO BE MUCH LIKE TODAY...WITH SLIGHTLY STRONGER
SOUTHWEST SURFACE WINDS AND BLOWING DUST CAUSING VISIBILITIES TO DROP
INTO THE MVFR RANGE.  SURFACE WINDS EXPECTED TO GUST INTO THE 40 TO
45 KT RANGE IN THE AFTERNOON.  AN AVIATION WEATHER WARNING WILL BE
ISSUED SHORTLY FOR AMARILLO AREA AIRPORTS FOR GUSTS OF 40 KT AND
ABOVE.

ANY THUNDERSTORMS LATE WEDNESDAY EXPECTED TO BE WELL EAST OF ALL TERMINALS.

COCKRELL

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 441 PM CDT TUE MAY 6 2014/

SHORT TERM...
THROUGH TONIGHT: SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL REMAIN A LITTLE BREEZY
OVERNIGHT, HELPING KEEP TEMPS ON THE MILD SIDE. LOWS WILL RANGE FROM
THE UPPER 40S IN THE FAR NORTHWEST TO LOWER 60S IN THE SOUTHEAST.

WEDNESDAY-WEDNESDAY NIGHT: WARM, DRY, WINDY, AND DUSTY CONDITIONS
WILL STICK AROUND. SEE THE FIRE WEATHER SECTION BELOW FOR DETAILS ON
THE FIRE THREAT. WE MAY NEED A WIND ADVISORY ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA
TOMORROW, BUT WINDS HAVE SEEMED TO SLIGHTLY UNDER PERFORM THE LAST
COUPLE OF DAYS COMPARED TO GUIDANCE. THEREFORE, WE WERE A LITTLE
RELUCTANT TO HOIST AN ADVISORY, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE WINDY,
REGARDLESS. THESE STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS MAY ALSO CAUSE BLOWING DUST,
ESPECIALLY NEAR OPEN FIELDS AND CONSTRUCTION AREAS THAT COULD LOCALLY
REDUCE VISIBILITIES TO NEAR ONE MILE. THE DRY LINE WILL
RETREAT/SHARPEN LATE TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND EVENING TO AS FAR WEST AS
A SLAPOUT TO CLARENDON LINE. AS THIS OCCURS, A POTENT SHORTWAVE
TROUGH WILL BE APPROACHING FROM THE WEST, RESULTING IN INCREASED
FORCING FOR ASCENT. THIS MAY ALLOW ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION
TO INITIATE JUST AHEAD OF THE DRYLINE ACROSS THE FAR
EASTERN/SOUTHEASTERN TEXAS PANHANDLE AFTER 7 PM. IF ANY STORMS CAN
DEVELOP, SUFFICIENT BUOYANCY AND SHEAR WILL SUPPORT A SEVERE THREAT.
HODOGRAPHS INDICATE SUPERCELL STRUCTURES INITIALLY WITH ANY
CONVECTION, BUT WITH A VEER/BACK/VEER PROFILE DEVELOPING LATE
TOMORROW EVENING, SPLITTING SUPERCELLS WILL BE A DISTINCT
POSSIBILITY. DUE TO THIS, WE MAY ACTUALLY NEED TO EXPAND OUR POPS
SLIGHTLY FARTHER NORTH TO ACCOUNT FOR ANY DEVIANT STORM MOTION, BUT
WE CAN ADDRESS THIS TOMORROW IF IT LOOKS LIKE STORMS WILL ACTUALLY
DEVELOP IN OUR AREA. IF STORMS DO DEVELOP AND BECOME SEVERE, LARGE
HAIL UP TO GOLF BALL SIZE AND DAMAGING WINDS UP TO 60 MPH WILL BE THE
PRIMARY HAZARDS. ANY STORM/SEVERE WEATHER THREAT SHOULD END BY 3 AM.

THURSDAY-THURSDAY NIGHT: A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE
NORTHERN PANHANDLES IN THE MORNING BEFORE RETREATING NORTHWARD BY
THE AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES WILL BE NOTICEABLY COOLER WITH HIGHS IN
THE MID 70S TO UPPER 80S. A STRONGER COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH
THURSDAY EVENING WITH NORTHERLY WINDS BRIEFLY GUSTING UP TO 30 MPH.
THERE COULD BE SOME SHOWERS, POSSIBLY AN ISOLATED STORM OR TWO,
NORTH OF A DALHART TO CANADIAN LINE LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND
THURSDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER, CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW TO MENTION RIGHT NOW.

FRIDAY-SATURDAY NIGHT: BENIGN WEATHER EXPECTED AS THE UPPER AIR
PATTERN UNDERGOES ANOTHER TRANSITION FROM ZONAL TO SOUTHWEST FLOW
AHEAD OF THE NEXT UPPER TROUGH. AFTER NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES ON
FRIDAY, HIGHS WILL REBOUND BACK INTO THE 80S AND 90S ON SATURDAY.

JACKSON

LONG TERM...
FOR THE SUNDAY AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...UNCERTAINTY IN THE
FORECAST INCREASES. THE GFS SLIDES AN UPPER TROUGH THE NORTHERN
PLAINS BY SUNDAY...WITH A WEAK COLD FRONT PUSHING THROUGH THE
PANHANDLES BY SUNDAY NIGHT. THE COOL AIR MASS IN THE GFS IS WEAK AND
SOUTHERLY FLOW RETURNS QUICKLY. THE ECMWF DISAGREES AND INDICATES A
SLOWER AND DEEPER TROUGH OR CLOSED LOW TO EJECT FROM THE GREAT BASIN
ON MONDAY. IT THEREFORE BRINGS A MUCH STRONGER COLD FRONT THROUGH
THE PANHANDLES ON MONDAY...AND IT DOES NOT RETURN TO SOUTHWESTERLY
LOW LEVEL FLOW IN THE PANHANDLES UNTIL WEDNESDAY.

AS FAR AS PRECIP CHANCES...AGAIN IT DEPENDS ON THE MODEL OF CHOICE.
THE ECMWF KEEPS PRECIPITATION WELL TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE
PANHANDLES THROUGH AT LEAST THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THE GFS IS MORE
ACTIVE...WITH NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT BY TUESDAY AND MOIST UPSLOPE FLOW
IN THE LOWER LEVELS EARLY NEXT WEEK. GIVEN THE DISPARATE
SOLUTIONS...HAVE ONLY PUT 20 PERCENT SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN THE
FORECAST FOR TUESDAY MORNING AND AFTERNOON. WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH
THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM FOR PRECIPITATION AND TSTORM CHANCES.

NF

FIRE WEATHER...
POOR OVERNIGHT RECOVERIES ARE EXPECTED AGAIN TONIGHT WITH RELATIVE
HUMIDITY VALUES ONLY INCREASING BETWEEN 20 AND 30 PERCENT. CRITICAL
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP AROUND 11 AM IN MOST
LOCATIONS. THEREFORE, A PROLONGED PERIOD OF NEARLY 11 CONSECUTIVE
HOURS OF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL BE EXPERIENCED IN SOME
AREAS ON WEDNESDAY. WHILE THE FORECAST PATTERN DOES NOT CONCEPTUALLY
FIT THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WILDFIRE OUTBREAK COMPOSITE PATTERN, THE
ACCELERATED DRYING OF FUELS WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS COMBINED
WITH THE EXPECTED WEATHER ON WEDNESDAY ARE CAUSE FOR CONCERN. IN
FACT, ERC VALUES ARE EXCEEDING THE 97TH PERCENTILE AND EVEN
APPROACHING/EXCEEDING HISTORICAL VALUES ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS. SOME
SEMBLANCE OF A BROAD LOW-LEVEL THERMAL RIDGE MAY DEVELOP FROM WESTERN
KANSAS SOUTH SOUTHWEST INTO THE PERMIAN BASIN. THE STRONGEST MID-LEVEL
FLOW IS EXPECTED TO INTERSECT THIS WEAK/BROAD LOW-LEVEL THERMAL RIDGE
FROM CENTRAL/EASTERN PANHANDLES BACK INTO THE WEST-CENTRAL PERMIAN
BASIN. WHILE A WILDFIRE CAN'T BE RULED OUT ANYWHERE IN OUR AREA,
WE'LL BE MOST CONCERNED WITH ANY FIRE THAT DEVELOPS IN THE MORE
ROBUST FUEL LOADED AREAS OFF THE CAPROCK. CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO END BY AROUND 11 PM WEDNESDAY AS WINDS
SUBSIDE AND RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES SLOWLY CLIMB. WINDS WILL SHIFT
TO THE WEST AFTER MIDNIGHT WEDNESDAY AND BRIEFLY TO THE NORTHWEST
THURSDAY MORNING. ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE
ACROSS THE WESTERN AND SOUTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE ON THURSDAY AS WINDS
SHIFT BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE
AREA THURSDAY EVENING, SHIFTING WINDS TO THE NORTH. BRIEF ELEVATED
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE WESTERN
PANHANDLES ON FRIDAY. FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS MAY SETTLE DOWN THIS
WEEKEND, BUT COULD RAMP BACK UP AGAIN EARLY NEXT WEEK. HOWEVER,
CONFIDENCE IN THIS SCENARIO IS LOW.
