AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX
314 PM CST THU FEB 6 2014

.DISCUSSION...
WEAK UPPER AIR DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE PANHANDLES TONIGHT
INTO FRIDAY CAUSING JUST ENOUGH LIFT TO PRODUCE SOME FLURRIES
OVERNIGHT. WINDS WILL PICK UP ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN
PANHANDLES OVERNIGHT WHICH SHOULD SEND WIND CHILLS BACK DOWN INTO
THE -5 TO -15 RANGE. WINDS WILL BE SLIGHTLY LESS IN THE WEST.
TEMPERATURES MAY ALSO HIT THEIR LOWS THIS EVENING AND THEN THEY MAY
ACTUALLY RISE AFTER MIDNIGHT.

A WARMING TREND WILL BEGIN ON FRIDAY AND IT WILL LAST INTO SATURDAY
AS DOWNSLOPING SOUTHWEST AND WEST WINDS TAKE OVER. WILL LIKELY
STILL HAVE SOME SNOW COVER LEFT OVER IN THE EASTERN PANHANDLES...SO
WARM UP THERE MAY BE SOMEWHAT TEMPERED.

NEXT COLD FRONT EASES INTO THE PANHANDLES FROM NORTHEAST TO
SOUTHWEST SATURDAY NIGHT...SO HIGHS ON SUNDAY WILL BE BACK BELOW
NORMAL.

NEXT UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGH APPROACHES THE PANHANDLES FROM
THE NORTHWEST BY MONDAY AFTERNOON. THIS SHORT WAVE WILL MOST LIKELY
PRODUCE SOME MORE SNOW FOR THE REGION MONDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
TUESDAY. AT THIS POINT...WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE SOME 1 TO 3
INCH SNOWFALL AMOUNTS ACROSS PARTS OF THE PANHANDLES.

DRIER WEATHER RETURNS FOR THE REST OF THE FORECAST.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
NO ELEVATED OR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH
THE WEEKEND GIVEN THE LATEST SNOWFALL.
