Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Amarillo TX
356 PM CDT TUE AUG 30 2016

.DISCUSSION...
A south to southwest flow aloft between an upper low over Colorado
and an upper ridge over the southeast U.S. This flow continues to
bring rich subtropical moisture across the panhandles. Therefore,
showers and thunderstorms will continue to be widespread over
the region.

The subtropical moisture will finally get suppressed to the south of
the panhandles by Friday as an upper level high builds southward
over the southern plains. However, shower and thunderstorm chances
will continue through the rest of this forecast as the upper high
shifts off to the southeast of the panhandles and a stronger
southwest flow aloft moves over the area.  Shower and thunderstorm
coverage will not be as great beyond Thursday given the drier
atmosphere.

High temperatures will be below normal through Friday given the
extra cloud cover and rain. Temperatures will rebound to around
normal or a little above for the weekend and for Labor Day. South to
Southwest winds will also increase into the 15 to 25 mph range for
the weekend as upper heights fall over the Rockies in association
with the large upper level low moving into the northwest U.S.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Will continue the Flood Watch for the eastern half of the Texas
Panhandle and the central and eastern Oklahoma Panhandle. These
areas will continue to be under the gun for heavy rain producing
thunderstorms through Wednesday. Some of the creeks and rivers,
especially in the southeast Texas Panhandle, have seen some rises.
In fact, the Prairie Dog Town Fork of the Red River near Wayside has
risen over a half of foot in just 15 minutes. The river should stay
below flood stage with the rain that has already fallen, but if more
heavy rain develops near the gage site in south central Armstrong
county it could push the river to around flood stage.
