Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Amarillo TX
345 AM CDT Thu Mar 19 2020

.SHORT TERM...
Overnight showers and thunderstorms brought measurable
precipitation to most of the Texas Panhandle with only a handful
of West Texas Mesonet stations missing out. Current activity over
a large part of the southeast half of the Combined Texas and
Oklahoma Panhandles expected to end before the Thursday daytime
period begins.

Strong shortwave trof expected to drive Pacific cold front across
the forecast area by 10 AM, with dry southwest and west winds
increasing with its passage. A Wind Advisory will be in effect
today across all of the area, with sustained winds of 35 MPH or
higher. The strongest winds are expected along a wide corridor
from near Glenrio to near Beaver. May see winds briefly reach 40
MPH or a few gusts reaching 58 MPH within this area, so a possible
upgrade to a High Wind Warning may be needed. Winds will stay up
well into the evening as a polar cold front moves in from the
northwest.

High temperatures today expected to be a few degrees above
normal, thanks to the downsloping winds. Lows tonight about 5 to
10 degrees below normal, with all but the southeast part of the
forecast area freezing. North and northeast post-frontal winds on
Friday will diminish during the afternoon. Cold air advection
expected to hold max temperatures below 50 over most of the area
on Friday, about 15 to 20 degrees below normal.

Cockrell

&&

.LONG TERM...Friday night through Thursday

Southwesterly flow aloft across the Panhandles Friday night and
Saturday and a surface ridge building down from the northeast into
the forecast area will maintain dry conditions. Freezing temps
Friday night with a moderating trend into the weekend. A shortwave
trough over the Great Basin region and Four Corners region
Saturday will approach the Panhandles by late in the day and into
Saturday night. Surface low over northeastern New Mexico and
southeastern Colorado with frontal boundary will push south
Sunday through Sunday evening across the Panhandles.

Rain showers are expected late Saturday into Saturday night ahead
of the shortwave trough across mainly the Oklahoma Panhandle and
the northern half of the Texas Panhandle before exiting east out
of the forecast area by 12Z Sunday. An upper ridge will build in
from the west early to mid next week with dry and warmer
conditions expected. Next cold front not expected until late next
week.

Schneider

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Strong winds today will lead to elevated fire weather conditions
across the western 2/3 of the Oklahoma Panhandle. This area
received no rain during the past 24 hours, with spotty amounts
below 0.15" the day before. Although relative humidity should rise
above 20 percent by 7 PM, will issue Fire Danger Statement to run
through 10 PM, as we expect this to be a wind-driven episode.
