AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX 345 AM CDT SUN JUN 12 2005 .DISCUSSION... STILL HAVE STORMS IN NORTHERN CWA PUSHING OFF TO THE NORTH...WITH ANOTHER SHORT WAVE MOVING TOWARD THE PANHANDLES OUT OF NEW MEXICO. SPENT MOST OF THE MORNING WORKING ON SHORT TERM DUE TO THE STRONG POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER SEVERE EVENT TOMORROW...AND GENERALLY LEFT THE LONG TERM PACKAGE AS IT STOOD. WV IMAGERY SHOWS SHORT WAVE ENERGY MOVING TOWARD PANHANDLES AND COULD BRING ANOTHER BOUGHT OF THUNDERSTORMS WITHIN THE NEXT FEW HOURS...OTHERWISE WORRIED MOST ABOUT BASE OF UPPER TROUGH THAT SHOULD REACH THE CWA BY 15Z OR SO. MESO ETA INDICATING STRONG VORT MAXES BEHIND THE TROUGH AXIS THAT WILL BE PASSING THROUGH REGION UNTIL 06Z OR SO. SO UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT WILL BE MORE THAN AVAILABLE. AT THE SURFACE...A LEE SIDE TROUGH DEVELOPS OUT AHEAD OF THE UPPER TROUGH. MODELS SEEM TO AGREE THAT WINDS IN THE SOUTHEASTERN TEXAS PANHANDLE WILL BACK MORE TO THE SOUTHEAST PROVIDING STRONG DIRECTIONAL SHEAR. CURRENTLY MODELS SHOW THE LEADING EDGE OF AN UPPER LEVEL JET WILL PIERCE INTO THE EASTERN CWA RIGHT AROUND 00Z...WITH A DIFFLUENT ZONE IN THE SAME AREA. MOISTURE WILL BE THERE AHEAD OF THE DRY LINE THAT WILL SET UP ROUGHLY ALONG THE CENTRAL ZONES. ADJUSTED POPS TO BETTER SUIT WHERE THE DRY LINE WILL BE...AND INCREASED POPS IN THE EAST WITH MENTION OF SEVERE FOR TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND EVENING. ALSO INCLUDED SOME CHANCE POPS FROM 06 TO 12Z JUST IN CASE STORM DECIDE TO LINGER AS THEY DID TONIGHT. ALTHOUGH EXPECTING THE UPPER TROUGH TO PUSH MOST OF THE ACTIVITY EAST OF THE CWA BY 08Z OR SO. SET UP IS IN PLACE FOR ANOTHER SEVERE EVENT...AND SPC HAS NOTCHED THE SOUTHEASTERN TEXAS PANHANDLE WITH A 15 PERCENT RISK OF TORNADOES WHICH SEEMS VERY PLAUSIBLE GIVEN THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN. AS MENTIONED ABOVE...ONLY MADE MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO LONG TERM PACKAGE. MESO ETA NOW SEEMS TO HAVE BEST HANDLE ON COLD FRONT FOR TUESDAY MORNING...SO WENT MOSTLY WITH A MIX OF THE PREVIOUS GRIDS AND THE MESO ETA FOR THE FRONT. ALSO INCLUDED 10 POPS FOR THURSDAY MORNING...WHICH MAY NEED TO BE UPPED IF MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THE SHORT WAVE ENERGY MOVING INTO THE CWA AROUND THE UPPER RIDGE. IN FACT...WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF STORMS DEVELOP THURSDAY AND EVEN FRIDAY IN THE NORTH WEST FLOW REGIME. BUT MODELS ARE HAVING A BIT OF TROUBLE WITH THE MASSIVE CLOSED LOW THAT WILL DEVELOP IN THE GULF OF ALASKA THURSDAY AFTERNOON. THE LOW WILL PROBABLY PUSH THE RIDGE OFF TO THE EAST...BUT MODELS THINK THE LOW WILL RIDE OVER THE TOP OF THE RIDGE WHICH APPEARS TO AMPLIFY EARLY NEXT WEEK. IT WILL BE THE MIDDLE OF JUNE SO THAT RIDGE MAY INDEED BE FAIRLY STOUT...SO LEFT OUT POPS FOR NOW AFTER THURSDAY MORNINGS 10S. BROST && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
