Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Amarillo TX
1127 AM CST Thu Jan 5 2017
.AVIATION...
MVFR/IFR conditions are expected throughout the majority of the 18Z
TAF period. Current observations show IFR conditions at KGUY as
snowfall and low ceilings move into that TAF location. KDHT will
start seeing some snowfall move in around the start of the TAF period
while KAMA will start seeing some light snow this evening. MVFR and
even IFR within the persistent snowfall will likely occur between 06Z
and 14Z Friday across all TAF sites. KDHT/KGUY will have snow begin
to taper off near the end of the TAF period while KAMA will continue
to have snow extending past the 18Z TAF period with MVFR conditions
at minimum to be expected.

AVIATION...
12Z Issuance...Current VFR conditions will slowly degrade as snow
begins to come into the area starting in the north around 21Z and
moving southward. Snow will likely start slow and eventually get
heavier with the worst looking to be after 06Z. Not enough confidence
attm to say just how low vis and cigs will go...would guess IFR and
possibly LIFR.

PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 451 AM CST Thu Jan 5 2017/
DISCUSSION...
Main focus of this forecast will be wind chills this morning and
accumulating snows this evening through Friday morning.
No major changes have been made to the forecast, except to refine
snow chances and accumulations. Cold airmass will take hold of the
Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles today with daytime high temperatures
remaining below freezing. Wind chill values of -5 to -15 degrees
Fahrenheit can be expected for a few hours this morning.
Shortwave trofs will traverse the area tonight and Friday morning.
Increasing upslope flow and isentropic lift will be maximized across
western sections. Areas of enhanced convergence near 700 mb will
also assist in snow production. Have issued winter weather advisory
for accumulating snow beginning at 10 PM this evening, continuing
through noon Friday. Generally expect one to three inches in
eastern sections and three to five inches in western sections. May
see local amounts at or above six inches in westernmost sections,
where an upgrade to a winter storm warning may be needed. Have
excluded northeastern most zone...Beaver County Oklahoma...from
winter weather advisory, where forcing and moisture will be more
limited.
Continued cold on Friday with most areas remaining below 20 degrees
Fahrenheit. Two cold nights tonight and Friday night with lows
mainly in the single digits or lower. Some sections rise above
freezing on Saturday, with highs mainly in the 40s on Sunday. Above
normal temperatures resume on Monday. 03
