AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX
328 PM CST MON NOV 14 2005
.DISCUSSION...
ADVERTISED MAJOR CHANGE IN THE WEATHER CONTINUES TOWARDS THE
REGION
POLAR JET CONTINUES TO DIG TOWARDS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON...WITH
SURFACE COLD FRONT EXTENDING FROM THE WESTERN DAKOTAS INTO NORTHERN
COLORADO MOVING SOUTH AT A RAPID CLIP. LEADING EDGE OF COLD FRONT
SHOULD PUSH INTO THE OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE NEAR MIDNIGHT AND PUSH
THROUGH ALL OF THE TEXAS PANHANDLE BY SUNRISE. NAM RUNS FROM 12Z AND
18Z ATTEMPT TO HOLD FRONTAL PROGRESSION UP A FEW HOURS...BUT SUCH A
COLD AND DENSE AIRMASS SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM SLIDING DOWN THE LEE OF
THE ROCKIES ACROSS THE REGION SO KEPT TIMING OF FRONT INTACT FROM
PREVIOUS PACKAGE.
BIG QUESTIONS WITH FRONT ARE HOW STRONG WINDS WILL BECOME...
TEMPERATURES...AND PRECIP CHANCES. COULD SEE SOME INITIAL GUSTS
IMMEDIATELY AFTER FRONTAL PASSAGE BETWEEN 40-50 MPH BUT THESE SHOULD
NOT LAST LONG. AS THE FRONT MOVES SOUTH OF THE REGION AND DAYTIME
MIXING TAKES PLACE...WINDS SHOULD REMAIN AROUND 35 MPH SUSTAINED WITH
A FEW HIGHER GUSTS. FELT THAT BEST COURSE OF ACTION WAS TO KEEP WIND
ADVISORY GOING AS WAS INHERITED FROM PREVIOUS SHIFT. WILL HAVE TO
WATCH SITUATION CLOSELY AS STRONGEST 850 MB WINDS ARE JUST ACROSS THE
BORDER OVER NW OK. IF STRONGEST WINDS ALOFT SLIDE FURTHER WEST ACROSS
THE PANHANDLES...WINDS COULD BE CLOSER TO THE HIGH WIND WARNING
CRITERIA OF SUSTAINED 40 MPH FOR ONE HOUR OR MORE. TEMPERATURES WILL
BE SLOW TO CLIMB...IF AT ALL...DURING THE DAY WITH THE SE TX PNHDL
WITH THE BEST CHANCE TO CLIMB A BIT DURING THE AFTERNOON. COMBINED
WITH THE WIND...WIND CHILL READINGS WILL ALSO BE LOW MAINLY IN THE
MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. PRECIP CHANCES ARE VERY SLIM AS
ATMOSPHERE REMAINS DRY. RECENT MODEL RUNS ARE TRYING TO SQUEEZE OUT
SOME PRECIP IMMEDIATELY ALONG THE FRONT ACROSS THE NE TX PNHDL BUT
FEEL MOISTURE IS LACKING AND LEFT FCST DRY. DRY CONDITIONS...STRONG
WINDS...AND LOW RH VALUES WILL ALSO PROMOTE RED FLAG CONDITIONS AND
HAVE ISSUED A RED FLAG WARNING FOR ALL OF THE AREA FOR TOMORROW. SEE
RFWAMA AND FWFAMA FOR MORE DETAILS.
TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY WILL BE THE COLDEST THE REGION HAS SEEN
SO FAR WITH MANY AREAS DIPPING INTO THE UPPER TEENS. WIND CHILL
READINGS WILL ALSO BE CLOSE TO ZERO IF THE WINDS STAY AROUND 10 MPH.
THE COLD AIRMASS WILL REMAIN ENTRENCHED OVER THE REGION WITH A VERY
SLOW WARMUP EXPECTED THROUGH END OF THIS WEEK. TEMPERATURES ON
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY ALSO HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO DIP INTO THE
20S AS DRY AIRMASS AND LIGHT WINDS REMAIN OVER THE REGION...SO I
DROPPED TEMPS BY 3-5 DEGREES MOST AREAS. NWLY FLOW ALOFT WILL HELP TO
KEEP LOW THICKNESSES OVER THE REGION AND HELP TO SEND A SERIES OF
FRONTS ACROSS THE AREA. NEXT FRONT EXPECTED TO ARRIVE FRI/SAT BEFORE
MODELS DIVERGE ON WHAT HAPPENS INTO NEXT WEEK. DID DROP TEMPS SOME
FOR FRI AND SAT TO REFLECT NEXT FRONT...AND GENERALLY KEPT TEMPS A
BIT COOLER THAN GUIDANCE.
