Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Amarillo TX
530 PM CDT Tue May 2 2017

.AVIATION...
An upper level disturbance will combine with a cold front to bring a
chance of showers and thunderstorms to the DHT and GUY TAF sites
tonight. The best chance looks to be at GUY so have an extended
amount of time for rain there. Low clouds in the IFR range are
expected to move in behind the front at all sites overnight. The low
clouds will then slowly lift during the day on Wednesday. More
showers may be possible for the GUY TAF site on Wednesday with
another disturbance, but chances do not look too great right now.
North winds will gust to around 30 knots behind the cold front.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 525 PM CDT Tue May 2 2017/

DISCUSSION...
For tonight, a cold front will move through the Oklahoma and Texas
Panhandles. In addition, a fast moving upper level shortwave trof
is progged to track east southeast across the area later tonight
and Wednesday. Short range models are in very good agreement on
handling this feature. Based on the project path of this
particular storm system, the OK Panhandle still stands the
greatest threat for showers and tstms, while the far southern
Texas Panhandle will have the overall least threat. Considering
this, have raised pops about 10 percent across the board for the
OK Panhandle and far ncntrl and nern TX Panhandle tonight. Pops
then diminish markedly to non-mentionable across the far southern
Texas Panhandle. Tstms that develop this evening and tonight
should do so on the cool side of the frontal boundary. Enough
moisture has returned to the region as seen by dewpoints in the
40s and 50s across most of the area. The combination of the above
plus sufficient lift from the approaching upper level shortwave
trof, steep mid level lapse rates, and strengthening mid to upper
level wind profiles courtesy of the shortwave trof suggest tstm
potential will increase this evening and tonight. A few storms
that develop will have the potential to become strong to marginally
severe, with hail and gusty winds the primary hazards.

Lingering slgt chc to chc pops were included for Wednesday across
mainly the northeast half of the fcst area as the upper level
shortwave trof continues to track across and then east of the
region.

An upper level ridge of high pressure will then dominate the
weather across the srn high plains from Thursday through Sunday
with warmer temperatures. All medium range models suggest a
vigorous upper level low pressure system will dig southward to a
position near srn CA by next Monday morning. This far out in time,
have incorporated only slgt chc pops for showers and tstms across
mainly wrn sections of the OK and TX Panhandles for Sunday night
through Tuesday.
