AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LUBBOCK TX
651 PM CDT TUE APR 19 2016

.AVIATION...
IN SIMILAR FASHION TO THIS MORNING...VFR CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY TO
CRATER TO IFR AT PVW AND LBB AFTER MIDNIGHT AS THE LOWER
ATMOSPHERE REMAINS VERY MOIST. COULD SEE DENSE FOG ALSO DEVELOP
THOUGH THIS IS LESS LIKELY COMPARED TO JUST VERY LOW STRATUS.
CONFIDENCE IN IFR AT CDS IS LESS CERTAIN AS SOME MODELS ARE
RELUCTANT TO REDEVELOP LOW CLOUDS...BUT HAVE HINTED AT THIS
SCENARIO WITH A SCATTERED LOW LAYER.

SHOULD SEE VFR RETURN TO LBB AND PVW BY THE AFTN AT WHICH POINT A
REPEAT OF AFTERNOON TS ARE POSSIBLE SOUTH OF AN UPPER LOW...MAINLY
N OF LBB.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 318 PM CDT TUE APR 19 2016/

SHORT TERM...
PRECIP CHANCES WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE FOCUS TONIGHT AND AGAIN
WEDNESDAY. ONGOING SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
BEGINNING TO MARCH EWD ACROSS THE NRN HALF OF THE FCST AREA AT A
PRETTY GOOD CLIP. THE SOURCE REGION FOR CONVECTIVE REDEVELOPMENT
THAT HAD BEEN ANCHORED IN ERN NM IS SHIFTING TO THE WRN SOUTH
PLAINS. THIS ADJUSTMENT OCCURRING IN RESPONSE TO THE MAIN UPPER
TROUGH OVER NRN NM SHOWING EWD MOVEMENT PER WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
THE LAST COUPLE HOURS. TROUGH AXIS SHOULD SHIFT TO THE EAST OF THE
FCST AREA AROUND 06Z WITH HIGH CHANCE TO LIKELY POPS ERN HALF OF
THE FCST AREA APPROPRIATE UNTIL THEN. COULD ALSO SEE A SHIFT SWD
WITH THE CONVECTION AS OUTFLOW INTERACTS WITH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
SRN SOUTH AND ROLLING PLAINS PER HRRR OUTPUT.

FOCUS THEN SHIFTS TO PRECIP CHANCE WEDNESDAY. APPEARS A DECENTLY
DEFINED DRYLINE WILL SHIFT INTO THE WRN ZONES DURING THE AFTN. LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE TO REMAIN IN PLACE TO ITS EAST WITH SFC DEW POINT
TEMPS UPPER 40S-LOWER 50S. NOT MUCH UPPER SUPPORT EVIDENT WITH A
SHORT WAVE TROUGH PROGGED TO SEWD THROUGH THE MEAN FLOW FROM SRN
COLORADO TWD THE PANHANDLE. WEAKLY FORCED CONVECTIVE INITIATION
POSSIBLE LATE AFTN JUST EAST OF THE DRYLINE GENERALLY ALONG I-27.

ONLY OTHER ISSUE IS CHANCE FOR FOG AROUND SUNRISE. COOL...MOIST AIR
MASS WITH UPSLOPE EASTERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW POINT TO THE POSSIBILITY.
NO CONSENSUS FROM GUIDANCE ATTM. WILL KEEP MENTION OUT FOR NOW
AND LET NEXT SHIFT REEVALUATE.

LONG TERM...
A SECONDARY COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH TOMORROW NIGHT AS A SHORT
WAVE ROTATES AROUND THE BACKSIDE OF THE MUCH LARGER UPPER LEVEL LOW
ACROSS THE MIDWEST. WITH PLENTY OF MOISTURE IN PLACE AS WELL AS LIFT
FROM THE SHORTWAVE A COMPLEX OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
HIGHLY POSSIBLE ACROSS THE EASTERN TX PANHANDLE AND ROLLING PLAINS.
WHILE SOME HEAVY RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE AS PWATS WILL BE OVER 1 INCH
THE COMPLEX SHOULD MOVE QUICK ENOUGH TO HELP MITIGATE FLOODING
CONCERNS. WINDS WILL REMAIN OUT OF THE NORTHEAST INTO LATE THURSDAY
NIGHT WHICH WILL HELP KEEP TEMPS INTO THE LOW 70S. WINDS WILL TURN
BACK TO THE SOUTH/SOUTHEAST BY EARLY FRIDAY AFTERNOON AS A LEE TROF
DEVELOPS. THIS...IN ADDITION TO AN UPPER RIDGE MOVING OVER THE
REGION...WILL ALLOW TEMPS TO WARM BACK TO NEAR AVERAGE FRIDAY. TEMPS
WILL CONTINUE TO WARM TO SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE AVERAGE BY SUNDAY AS
WINDS WILL CONTINUOUSLY STAY OUT OF THE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST. THE LEE
TROF WILL PUSH SOUTHWARD STARTING LATE SUNDAY MORNING ALLOWING A
DRYLINE TO PUSH EASTWARD FROM NM. A SMALL CHANCE EXISTS FOR ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE DRYLINE...MOSTLY OVER THE ROLLING
PLAINS...SUNDAY BUT WILL BE DEPENDENT ON THE TIMING OF A PASSING
SHORTWAVE. WINDS WILL BE FAIRLY BREEZY...SPECIFICALLY ACROSS OUR
NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES...BEHIND THE DRYLINE AS THE MID TO LOWER
LEVELS DRY AND THERMAL PROFILES BECOME SUPER ADIABATIC. CONDITIONS
BEYOND LATE SUNDAY BECOME QUESTIONABLE AS MODELS BEGIN TO DIVERGE
WITH THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN. THE ECMWF BRINGS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW
CLOSE TO THE REGION BY MONDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING WHICH WOULD ALLOW
WINDS TO KEEP BLOWING WHILE THE GFS TAKES A MORE PACIFIST ROLE BY
KEEPING FLOW MOSTLY ZONAL AND DELAYING THE APPROACH OF THE LOW UNTIL
EARLY WEDNESDAY. EITHER WAY THE FORECAST LOOKS TO REMAIN DRY.

.LUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

1134 AM CDT TUE APR 19 2016

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR THE SOUTH PLAINS...ROLLING
PLAINS AND THE FAR SOUTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT EASTWARD
ACROSS THE SOUTH PLAINS AND FAR SOUTHWESTERN PANHANDLE TOWARD THE
ROLLING PLAINS AND FAR SOUTHEASTERN PANHANDLE THIS AFTERNOON. THE
PERSISTENT NATURE OF THIS PRECIPITATION WILL LIMIT AVAILABLE
ENERGY FOR AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS ON THE CAPROCK. HOWEVER...SOME
BREAKS IN CLOUD COVER ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ROLLING PLAINS THIS
AFTERNOON MAY HELP GENERATE ENOUGH INSTABILITY FOR A FEW THUNDERSTORMS
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING TO BECOME STRONG TO MARGINALLY SEVERE
HAIL WILL MOSTLY REMAIN SMALL BUT COULD BECOME AS LARGE AS QUARTERS.
THIS MARGINAL THREAT OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE LIMITED TO
AREAS SOUTH AND EAST OF A PADUCAH TO TAHOKA LINE. IN ADDITION...
THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE AVAILABLE WILL LEAD TO THE POTENTIAL FOR
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS THE ROLLING PLAINS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

THUNDERSTORMS MAY MOVE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE AND
ADJACENT PORTIONS OF THE SOUTH AND ROLLING PLAINS LATE WEDNESDAY
NIGHT INTO EARLY THURSDAY. THESE STORMS COULD BE STRONG...PRODUCE
SMALL HAIL...GUSTY WINDS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. THE THREAT FOR
THUNDERSTORMS...POTENTIAL SEVERE...MAY RETURN OVER THE WEEKEND.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME DUE TO THE LOW
