Area forecast discussion, Jul 2, 6:37 PM CDT, 56 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Amarillo TX 637 PM CDT SAT JUL 2 2016 .Aviation... Several boundaries around the area could spark additional showers and thunderstorms this evening. But think the best chance of rain may develop near the DHT and GUY TAF sites after midnight in association with a cold front. So have mentioned a tempo group for these sites. Will leave AMA out of the rain for this forecast. North winds will prevail at DHT and GUY...first behind a trough and then behind the cold front. North winds should develop at AMA around 11Z. VFR conditions are expected outside of thunderstorms. && .Prev Discussion... /Issued 521 PM CDT SAT JUL 2 2016/ Discussion... For this evening and tonight, a well defined upper level shortwave trof will move across the srn high plains, accompanied by isolated to scattered showers and tstms. Based on projected path of this shortwave trof, the OK Panhandle will have the greatest threat for precipitation, followed by nrn TX Panhandle, with the srn TX Panhandle having the lowest threat. Pop structure was fashioned in this manner. Also went with areal qualifiers for tonight. The strongest storms will pose a marginal svr threat this evening and would not be surprised to see a couple to a few storms becoming strong to perhaps marginally svr. In addition, a weak cold front will move across the TX and OK Panhandles tonight and could serve as an additional low level lifting mechanism to assist in tstm development. On Sunday, the upper level shortwave trof will be movg east of the area, with much less in the way of tstm activity. Pops have been restricted to far sern TX Panhandle and far nwrn zones. Then from next Monday through Saturday, a somewhat dirty upper level ridge of high pressure will prevail across much of the srn states. This particular upper level ridge of high pressure will likely not be strong enuf to completely suppress tstm development durg this time period. Have incorporated slgt chc pops across parts of the fcst area to account for the low threat of tstm development. Well above normal temperatures including some triple digit values are forecast to return to the area by Tuesday and lasting at least a few days after. Andrade && .AMA Watches/Warnings/Advisories...
