SOUTH PLAINS AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LUBBOCK TX 300 PM CDT TUE JUN 10 2003 DAY ONE... SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS WEAK COLD FRONT DRAPED ACRS NRN ZONES FROM NEAR BOVINA TO NEAR QUITAQUE TO NORTH OF CDS. WEAK WSW FLOW DOMINATES SOUTH OF FRONT. SOME DRYING HAS OCCURRED ACRS ALL ZONES...BUT PRIMARILY ACRS WRN ZONES WHERE DEW POINTS HAVE LOWERED TO AROUND 50F. ALOFT WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS NICELY AN UPPER LOW OVER SCNTL TX PANHANDLE MOVING EWD. PROFILER NETWORK SHOWS GENERALLY WEAK NW FLOW IN SHORTWAVE RIDGING TO THE WEST OF THE LOW. THIS WILL ALLOW THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY FORMING ON MOUNTAINS OF NRN NM TO SLIDE ESEWD TWD/INTO FA. ALSO EXPECT THAT COLD FRONT WILL FOCUS ENOUGH CONVERGENCE FOR SCATTERED TSRA TO DEVELOP ALONG IT. THINK THAT SVR POTENTIAL IS PRETTY LOW BUT NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. TAPERED POPS NE TO SW FROM HIGHEST TO LOWEST. REMOVED MENTION OF SVR FROM ZONES GIVEN EXPECTED ISOLATED NATURE TO SEVERE. PROGRESSIVE NATURE TO FLOW ALOFT TO CONTINUE TOMORROW WITH SHORT WAVE RIDGING ALOFT PROGGED DURING THE MORNING HOURS...THEN ANOTHER S/W TROUGH MOVING OVERHEAD DURING THE AFTN. LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL AGAIN VEER TO THE SW WITH ADDITIONAL DRYING PROBABLE...ALTHOUGH NOT AS VIGOROUS AS PROGGED DRYLINE PUNCH OF THE ETA. APPEARS CONVECTIVE FOCUS WILL BE WELL NORTH OF THE FA. CANNOT RULE OUT LATE AFTN TSRA DEVELOPMENT WITH COOLER AIR ALOFT ASSOCIATED WITH S/W TROUGH. WILL MAINTAIN SLIGHT CHC POPS ATTM. OTHER ELEMENTS PRETTY MINOR IN RELATION TO POPS. GUIDANCE NUMBERS FOR TEMPS LOOK OK. WIND EVOLUTION PER ETA REASONABLE WITH SHORT TERM INPUT FROM THE RUC. FCSTID = VII DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN... REMNANTS OF UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST MOVES ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS WEDNESDAY. SURFACE TROF/DRYLINE TO EXTEND FROM A LOW OVER NEBRASKA SOUTHWEST INTO SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO. CONVERGENCE ALONG THE TROF/DRYLINE TO BE AREA OF FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORM DURING THE EVENING HOURS. DEEP MOISTURE...INSTABILITY AND SHEAR TO CONTINUE OVER THE AREA...THUS POTENTIAL SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN POSSIBLE. AS DISTURBANCE EXITS REGION LATE WEDNESDAY PRECIPITATION CHANCE TO RELAX SOMEWHAT AS WEAK RIDGE ALOFT IS ESTABLISHED OVER THE REGION. UPPER RIDGE THEN BEGINS TO BUILD OVER THE ROCKIES BY WEEKS END. LONG RANGE GFS MODEL AGAIN SHOWS UPPER LOW OVER THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY OVER THE WEEKEND WITH RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE DESTERT SOUTHWEST. ON THIS RUN HOWEVER...MODELS RETROGRADE THE UPPER LOW WESTWARD TO THE RED RIVER BETWEEN WICHITA FALLS AND DENISON MONDAY. THIS KEEPS US IN A NORTH TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT AND WILL ALSO HELP TO KEEP LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IN PLACE ACROSS WEST TEXAS. WITH DISTURBANCES ROTATING THROUGH THE UPPER FLOW CURRENT FORECAST ON POPS LOOK GOOD AND WILL ADD MENTION FOR TUESDAY AS WELL.
