GuerreroWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this tornado warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Amarillo, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at May 16, 3:55 PM CDT, 54 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 16, 3:55 PM CDT, 54 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Amarillo TX 355 PM CDT Tue May 16 2017 .DISCUSSION... See below for details on today's setup with scattered to numerous thunderstorms over eastern half of the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles through this evening. Isolated tornadoes expected across the eastern one-third. Main trof passes overnight, with winds increasing with arrival of Pacific cold front. May see a few thunderstorms after midnight in northwest part of forecast area, as steep lapse rates and mid- level moisture accompany sharp shortwave trof. Wednesday through Thursday morning expected to remain dry. By Thursday afternoon, next strong mid-level closed low sets up to our northwest, with low pops warranted across most of area Thursday afternoon through Saturday. Followed blended guidance closely, with pops accepted Sunday night through Tuesday. Cockrell && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 128 PM CDT Tue May 16 2017/ MESOSCALE UPDATE... ..Severe weather outbreak likely today... * Overview/Bottom Line: This has the makings of a pretty significant severe weather outbreak and as much we dug for a reason it may not happen, there are few to point to. Everyone stay safe and weather aware today! * Synoptic Overview: A synoptically evident severe weather outbreak pattern has set up with pretty much all the boxes checked and also verified by observational data. In short, an upper low analyzed near Las Vegas this morning will open as it bottoms out over srn NM this afternoon before lifting and deepening again as it ejects over us tonight. Though the best height falls will occur this evening, modest height falls and the approach of a lead shortwave will be able to easily overcome a weak EML with storms all but guaranteed to form this afternoon. * Mesoscale: A dryline is slowly mixing east early this afternoon and with the more significant synoptic forcing hanging back and fairly meridional flow aloft, think dryline progression will continue to be slow early this afternoon. Mid to upper 60s dewpts are present over the eastern half of the Panhandles and with the exception of the very western edge of the deep sfc moisture, these dewpts should not mix out much through the day. Unlike many severe weather days around here, this one won't require sunshine and strong daytime heating as forecast soundings indicate 76/68 will yield upwards of 3500 J/kg MLCAPE in the east. Even if temperatures rise to the mid 80s...mixing of dewpts into the low to mid 60s that would occur simultaneously would probably keep CAPE values in the same range as they would be with 76/68. These T/Td trends will be monitored closely though for tornado potential this afternoon as more limited mixing could actually somewhat counter-intuitively increase the tornado threat by keeping LCLs lower. In addition to expecting MLCAPE values to push 3500-4000 J/kg, a good deal of 0-3km MLCAPE should be noted with values pushing 150 J/kg this afternoon. CAPE in the hail growth zone will be near or surpass 1000 J/kg as well, so thermodynamically this event is on point. If that wasn't quite exciting (or scary) enough for you, kinematically this event may be better. After a period of veer-back-veer profiles early this afternoon (seen on the 18z KAMA special sounding), expected veering flow around h6 will put the last piece of the puzzle in place to create uber- favorable shear profiles. These forecast profiles feature veering and mostly strengthening flow with height through the entire atmosphere and effective and 0-8km bulk shears of 60-70 kts. Initially weak low level shear/helicity will increase rapidly late this afternoon, especially in the eastern 2 tiers of Panhandle counties. * Threats and Timing: Storms may struggle a bit initially due to the VBV profile and a bit of remaining CINH, but won't take long to get going in earnest and this is an "all-threats" kind of day, though fast storm motions could keep the flash flood threat on the lower side. The biggest concerns are tornadoes and large to giant hail given supercell storm mode and the aforementioned CAPE/shear combo. Some hail could get as big as softballs. The tornado threat is pretty concerning late this afternoon/early evening as 0- 1 SRH values increase to nearly 300 m2/s2 by 23Z in the southeast TX Panhandle and over 200 m2/s2 further north. Given this and expected discrete or quasi-discrete supercell storm mode, concern certainly exists for a strong tornado or two. The best tornado threat will be 20Z-01Z in the eastern half of the combined Panhandles with the first round of storms, though another tornado threat cannot be ruled out in the far east with a possible second round later this evening. This second round of storms will be conditional on the first round, but the stronger dynamics as the main upr wave crosses should help make up for any lacking thermodynamics in the wake of the first round. * Location: As has been mentioned, the eastern half of the Panhandles looks the best. Right now it looks like the western edge of the severe threat will be bounded by a Canyon to Amarillo to Stinnett to Spearman to Liberal line. None of these aforementioned locations are free from a severe threat though the tornado threat on the western edge is certainly lower than it is further east. If a second round materializes, it should occur after 9 PM and be confined to areas east of a Clarendon to Pampa to Perryton line. Simpson && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
