AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LUBBOCK TX 709 PM CDT SAT AUG 13 2005 .UPDATE... FRONTAL BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO SLOWLY DRIFT SOUTHWARD INTO THE NORTHERN CWA. MIDDLE LEVEL FLOW IS PARALLEL TO THIS BOUNDARY SO TRAINING OF ECHOES IS A GOOD POSSIBILITY. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE ABOUT 175 PERCENT OF NORMAL SO WE KNOW THAT HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP. WE HAVE ALREADY SEEN RAINFALL RATES OVER 2 INCHES PER HOUR...MAYBE EVEN HIGHER. HEAVY RAINS OVER THE LAST COUPLE DAYS HAVE SOAKED THE SOILS OVER PORTIONS OF THE NORTHERN ZONES SO ANY ADDITIONAL RAINFALL WILL LEAD TO RAPID RUN OFF. FOR THESE REASONS WE HAVE DECIDED TO GO WITH A FLASH FLOOD WATCH OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF OUR CWA. ADDITIONAL OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES SHOULD BRING A AT LEAST SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TO THE THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA. WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO SEE IF IT CAN SAG A BIT FURTHER SOUTH AND INTERACTS WITH THE LOW LEVEL JET OVERNIGHT. IF THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES CAN FOCUS ANY OF THE THUNDERSTORMS FURTHER SOUTH WE MAY NEED TO EXPAND THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH. HAVE RAISED RAIN CHANCES AND QPF VALUES OVER THE NORTHERN CWA. && .LUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... TX...FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR TXZ21>32 UNTIL 4 AM. && 18/24
