Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Amarillo TX
1229 AM CDT Sun Jun 23 2019

.AVIATION...06Z TAFS...
VFR conditions are favored through the TAF period, with KGUY as
the exception. Outside chance that storms across the northern
Panhandle will clip the southern Panhandle and impact KAMA. So for
now no mention of storms and will amend TAF as necessary if it
nears KAMA. KDHT is also on the fringe, but has a better chance of
storms than KAMA, so have noted a TEMPO group from 06z-08z. KGUY
looks pretty solid based on radar, and will prevail -TSRA for the
first 3 hours. Isolated high wind gusts will be possible at this
TAF site, although general winds will be around 15kts. For now
have kept the cigs and vis out of MVFR, but brief MVFR conditions
can't be ruled out with the thunderstorms. Storms should be free
of all TAF sites by 12z and VFR conditions will continue through
the rest of the TAF period. Low chance of storms again from 21z-
00z at KGUY so not enough for TAF notation at this time.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 320 PM CDT Sat Jun 22 2019/

SHORT TERM (through tonight)...

Wind shift line associated with cold front has remained over far
southeast Texas Panhandle for the past few hours, running
southwest to northeast across Collingsworth County. Baroclinic
zone however, lies about 40 miles to its northwest, with
temperatures in the lower- 80s in close proximity to lower-90s.
Airmass over eastern sections remains very unstable, with surface
based CAPEs of 1000 to 2500 J/kg noted at this time. Shear values
of 30 to 55 kt are overhead, with the higher values in the
northwest.

A shortwave trof arriving from the southwest will help
instability be released this afternoon and this evening, with
scattered strong to severe thunderstorms developing. Evolution of
frontal boundary expected to be somewhat complex. Falling
pressures over eastern New Mexico expected to cause low-level
winds to trend to east and southeast this evening. Low-level jet
of 30 to 45 knots expected to set up this evening, providing
additional moisture and inflow. Next complicating factor will be
cold front entering northwest part of forecast area around
midnight, providing another focusing mechanism for thunderstorms.
Have increased pops across Oklahoma Panhandle late tonight with
this feature, also adding mention of heavy rain. Expect front to
move through most of the forecast area by sunrise Sunday.

Cockrell

LONG TERM (Sunday through Friday)...

Lingering convection may be ongoing to start Sunday, but chances
are storms will be east of the area after ~7am. Given this
departure time, the atmosphere may have enough time to recover
later in the afternoon. This is all contingent also on any stalled
boundary or possible outflow boundaries around eastern parts of
the Panhandles from exiting convection. We may get convection
going again late Sunday afternoon to early evening.

Sunday, an upper level wave will be transitioning through eastern
Colorado and into the Central Plains. Placement of the vorticity
max may result in better precipitation chances east of the
forecast area. However, with the surface trough and possible
boundary/boundaries setting up across eastern parts of the
forecast area we may have some convection for mainly eastern parts
of the Panhandles. With an associated surface low developing in
western parts of the Central Plains, our northern zones may also
have some thunderstorms. Low chances overall for precipitation,
but nonetheless severe weather will be possible. Better chances
will be for east/southeastern parts of the Texas Panhandle near
the "better" instability. Bulk shear values around 50-60 knots
will be plenty to make up for regarding lower end MLCAPE values
around 1000-1500 J/kg (higher with the NAM though) late
afternoon/early evening when the cap erodes.

Monday we transition to zonal flow before a ridge starts to build
in over the region. Placement of the ridge will make it possible
for small impulses to ride over the northern periphery of the
broad anticyclonic flow. This may result in at least small chances
for thunderstorms as we reach peak heating late afternoon to
early evening each day after Monday. Storms may very well be
ordinary pulse type thunderstorms as we reach peak heating.
Overall, chances are low at this time for precipitation, but given
the time of year we cannot rule out at least some isolated severe
weather in the extended.
