Area forecast discussion, Jul 5, 1:12 PM CST, 7 hours 5 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX 212 PM CDT TUE JUL 5 2005 .DISCUSSION... SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY...FEEL BEST CHANCES FOR CONVECTION WILL BE AFTER ABOUT 00Z TO 03Z WEDNESDAY WHEN WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH EJECTS OUT OF EASTERN CO AND NORTHEASTERN NM THIS EVENING. ALTHOUGH CONVECTION YESTERDAY TRACKED MORE SOUTHERLY AND STAYED OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS OF NM...FEEL THAT THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT/S CONVECTION WILL TRACK MORE SOUTHEASTERLY INTO THE PANHANDLES AS A MORE WESTERLY COMPONENT TO THE 500 MB WINDS FORECASTED. GFS FORECASTING THE MOST QPF WITH ANYWHERE FROM 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN ACROSS THE NORTHWEST INTO THE SOUTHEAST TX PANHANDLE TONIGHT. NAM/ETA FORECASTING LESS PRECIP...BUT FEEL HEAVY RAINFALL WILL DEFINITELY BE A THREAT TONIGHT AND HAVE INCLUDED MENTION IN THE GRIDS AND FORECAST. DO NOT THINK FLASH FLOOD WATCH NECESSARY JUST YET...BUT LATER SHIFTS WILL NEED TO WATCH SITUATION CLOSELY. NORTHWESTERLY FLOW REGIME CONTINUES TODAY INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. NAM/ETA FORECASTING MOST PRECIP WEDNESDAY EVENING AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...CLOSE TO 2 INCHES IN THE WESTERN TX PANHANDLE...AS YET ANOTHER SHORTWAVE DROPS SOUTHEAST OUT OF CO AND NORTHEAST NM. UPPER RIDGE AMPLIFYING NORTHWARD INTO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT WHICH WILL GIVE THE FORECAST AREA A MORE NORTH-NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT. THE GFS IS NOT AS BULLISH ON PRECIP WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. PLAN ON LEANING TOWARD THE GFS THIS FORECAST PACKAGE BUT WILL ALSO INCORPORATE THE NAM/ETA INTO THE FORECAST AS WELL. THINKING IS THAT THE GFS IS PROBABLY THE BETTER SOLUTION TONIGHT AND THE NAM/ETA IS THE MODEL OF CHOICE WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. TWEAKED MAX AND MIN TEMPS SLIGHTLY AND ALSO WINDS DURING THE FIRST THREE PERIODS...OTHERWISE THE BIGGEST CHANGES TO THE GRIDS WERE TO THE POPS AND QPF. INTRODUCED CHANCE POPS WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN THE EXTREME WESTERN SECTIONS FRIDAY NIGHT AS A PIECE OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY DROPS DOWN ACROSS EASTERN NM. INTRODUCED SLIGHT CHANCE POPS SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING...WHICH MAY VERY WELL NEED TO BE BUMPED UP FURTHER IF THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS REMAIN CONSISTENT WITH THE SOLUTION...AS A STRONGER SHORTWAVE DROPS SOUTHEAST FROM NORTHERN NM INTO WESTERN SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. LEFT REAMINDER OF THE EXTENDED FORECAST ALONE AS UPPER RIDGE BUILDS BACK ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
