What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind advisory 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 wind advisory went out at Feb 5, 11:19 PM CST, 3 hours 45 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 5, 11:19 PM CST, 3 hours 45 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Amarillo TX
1119 PM CST Tue Feb 5 2019
.AVIATION...
For the 06Z TAFs, a cold front has now pushed further southwest to
near KDHT, Panhandle, and southeast to KCDS as of this writing. IFR
to LIFR cigs and vsbys due to FG and FZFG will persist at KGUY
tonight until around mid morning Wednesday before rapidly
improving as strong and gusty southwest winds commence, then
continue through late Wednesday afternoon at the terminal sites.
It will be a close call whether the cold front makes it past KDHT
and KAMA tonight. If it does then amendments will become necessary.
Also, later shifts may need to consider an Aviation Weather
Warning for KAMA on Wednesday afternoon as wind gusts may reach or
exceed 40 knots.

AVIATION...
For the 00Z TAFs, a cold front has pushed thru most of the OK
Panhandle, including KGUY, and much of the eastern TX Panhandle
as of this writing. IFR to LIFR cigs and vsbys due to FZFG will
persist at KGUY tonight until around mid morning Wednesday before
rapidly improving as strong and gusty southwest winds commence,
then continue through late Wednesday afternoon at the terminal
sites. Later shifts may need to consider an Aviation Weather
Warning for KAMA on Wednesday afternoon as wind gusts may reach or
exceed 40 knots.
02
PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 335 PM CST Tue Feb 5 2019/
DISCUSSION...
Cool moist airmass holding strong across eastern half of Oklahoma
Panhandle. Have reissued Dense Fog Advisory for this area
through the night and into Wednesday morning.
On Wednesday, strong deep southwest flow will act to dislodge
above-mentioned cool moist airmass from the northeast. Strong
southwest winds will spread across Panhandles from west to east,
possibly reaching Wind Advisory levels.
Cold front passes Wednesday night. Wind chill readings early
Thursday morning will be in the 0 to -5 degree range across the
Oklahoma Panhandle and the northern 1/4 of the Texas Panhandle.
North winds on Thursday will hold maximum temperatures in the
lower- to mid-30s across the northern half of the forecast area,
with upper-30s and lower-40s elsewhere.
Modest recovery begins on Friday with most sections rising into
the 40s. By Sunday, highs at or above normal are expected, with
readings in the 50s prevailing.
Models diverge in later periods. Southwest flow aloft is
interrupted briefly by a modest shortwave, progged to pass Monday
or Tuesday. Pops offered by Blend Sunday night and Monday have
been reduced in area and capped at 20 percent. See very little
opportunity for moisture return to set up a precipitation event.

then passes all of Texas Panhandle by sunrise Thursday. Light to
