AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX 328 PM CDT FRI AUG 19 2005 .DISCUSSION... STATIONARY FRONT IS LOCATED IN NORTHCENTRAL KANSAS WHERE CONVECTION IS BREAKING OUT. THE FRONT WILL NOT HAVE THE SYNOPTIC PUSH NEEDED TO MAKE IT INTO THE PANHANDLES AND WILL HAVE TO RELY ON COLD POOL ADVANCEMENT FROM ONGOING AND FUTURE CONVECTION. THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING MAY PUSH THE FRONT/OUTFLOW INTO THE NORTHCENTRAL PANHANDLES WHERE MORE DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED TOMORROW. THERE WONT BE MUCH COLD AIR BEHIND THE FRONT SO ANY COOLING WILL OCCUR DUE TO INCREASED CLOUD COVER AND RAIN COOLED OUTFLOW. THIS WILL MAKE TEMP FORECASTING DIFFICULT THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS DUE TO MESO/MICROSCALE EFFECTS SO DID NOT MAKE MANY CHANGES TO THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. THE DIFFUSE FRONT WILL STILL BE IN THE AREA SUNDAY SO THERE MAY BE ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA. MONDAY THE FRONT LIFTS TO THE NORTH FOCUSING THE CONVECTION ALONG A LEE TROUGH IN THE WESTERN PANHANDLES.
