Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Amarillo TX
1224 PM CDT Mon Apr 3 2023

...New AVIATION...

.SHORT TERM ...
(Today through Tuesday night)
Issued at 350 AM CDT Mon Apr 3 2023

A cold front is expected to move through the Oklahoma Panhandle and
end up in the northern Texas Panhandle by late this morning.  Winds
will be much lighter behind this front until early afternoon.
Meanwhile, southwest winds at 20 to 30 mph with higher gusts will be
common across the southern Texas Panhandle by mid day. This cold
front is expected to dissipate during the early afternoon hours and
gusty southwest winds should then spread across the rest of the
region, with Beaver County seeing the gusty winds last.  A surface
lee-side trough will continue to strengthen today which will help to
stop the southward progress and eventual demise of the cold front.

Southwest and west winds will pick up even more on Tuesday into the
35 to 45 mph range with gusts to 60 and 65 mph as a strong upper
level low moves out into the northern Nebraska Panhandle.  The
Panhandles will be under the upper level jet and the surface
gradient will increase between low pressure over eastern Nebraska
and high pressure over eastern Wyoming and northeastern Colorado
behind a Pacific front that will move across the area during the
afternoon.  Winds will then decrease Tuesday night with the setting
sun and as the pressure gradient relaxes.

Highs today are expected to be mainly in the 80's.  Highs on Tuesday
will range from the mid 50's in the northwest to the lower 80's in
the southeast with the Pacific cold front moving through.

&&

.LONG TERM ...
(Wednesday through Sunday)
Issued at 350 AM CDT Mon Apr 3 2023

Cooler temperatures can be expected Wednesday followed by gradual
warming through the weekend as the upper level pattern
deamplifies. Freezing temperatures can be expected starting out early
Wednesday morning and again Wednesday night for most of the area
in the wake of a cold front. NBM probabilities for lows below 32
range from near 100% in the northwest to 0% in the southeast. Breezy
northwest winds will also make for some chilly wind chill
readings possibly in the teens Wednesday morning. While some
elevated or brief critical fire weather will be possible towards
the weekend as temperatures return back above normal, the latest
GEFS output does not suggests a favorable pattern for higher-end
fire weather through the next week. Unfortunately, the chances for
precipitation also look pretty low through the next 7, although a
weak shortwave or two could bring some showers near the outlook
area this weekend into early next week (currently 10% to 15%
chance).

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1219 PM CDT Mon Apr 3 2023

VFR conditions will prevail through the period. West winds will be
gusty today with sustained speeds of 2o to 25 knots with gusts up
to 40kts through the afternoon. Winds will remain gusty through
the night, with sustained speeds remaining around 15kts but gusts
dropping to around 20 to 25kts. Stronger winds will occur tomorrow
morning through the day with gusts of 50-55kts through the
afternoon expected. Visibilities could also be reduced due to
blowing dust in some locations.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 350 AM CDT Mon Apr 3 2023

Critical fire weather conditions are expected across the Panhandles
today through Tuesday evening.  Lowest relative humidity values are
expected to be in the single digits both days with very poor
recovery of RH's overnight tonight.  Southwest winds of 20 to 30 mph
with higher gusts will only increase Tuesday into the 35 to 45 mph
range with higher gusts. Winds will slowly decrease Tuesday
evening.
