AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LUBBOCK TX 308 PM CDT WED AUG 3 2005 .SHORT TERM... ISOLATED SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS HAVE MATERIALIZED THIS AFTERNOON...ALTHOUGH THE SHOWERS ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. MAIN CONCERN FROM THESE ARE THE POTENTIAL FOR A SUDDEN WIND GUST TO AROUND 40 MPH...AS WELL AS THE USUAL CONCERN WITH CG LIGHTNING. OTHERWISE...RAINFALL (IF ANY) WILL BE LIGHT..WITH ONLY A FEW AREAS RECEIVING ANYTHING MORE THAN A TRACE. RAIN AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL IMPROVE TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS THE COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO SLIDE TO THE SOUTH. THIS AFTERNOON...THE FRONT WAS LOCATED ROUGHLY ALONG A LINE FROM NEAR DENVER TO SIOUX FALLS SOUTH DAKOTA. THIS FRONT IS PROGGED TO MOVE CLOSE TO THE AREA BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. ONCE THE FRONT IS CLOSE TO THE AREA...THE CLOUDS WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE FROM NORTH TO SOUTH...AND THE CHANCES FOR RAIN WILL ALSO INCREASE FROM NORTH TO SOUTH. HAVE RETAINED SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON...WITH THE THINKING THAT THE BEST SHOT AT PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR AFTER 00Z FRIDAY. .LONG TERM... MAIN CONCERN WITH FRONT IS HOW QUICKLY IT WILL PASS THROUGH THE AREA AND WHERE TO DRAW BEST POPS ON FRI GIVEN DIFFERING MODEL SOLUTIONS ON INSTABILITY/FORCING IN WAKE OF BOUNDARY. SURFACE FRONTAL PROGRESS EXPECTED TO BE DRIVEN LARGELY BY CONVECTION WITH MAIN H8 BOUNDARY REMAINING N OF AREA THROUGH EARLY FRI. THIS COULD SET THE STAGE FOR TWO SEPERATE PRECIP PERIODS...ONE WITH THE INTIAL FRONT/OUTFLOW THEN ANOTHER ALONG THE THETA-E RIDGE LAGGING BEHIND. UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT LOOKS WEAK FOR EITHER SO KEPT CHANCE POPS GOING WITH BEST COVERAGE EXPECTED LATE THU INTO FRI. ADDITIONAL MORE SCATTERED SHOWERS LIKELY TO FORM ON FRI ACROSS THE AREA AND SHOULD LINGER INTO FRI NIGHT. AFTER THAT...REMNANTS OF BOUNDARY WASHING OUT AND DAYTIME HEATING ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN SLIGHT CHC POPS INTO THE WEEKEND. WILL ALSO NOTE THAT PWAT VALUES ARE PROGD TO RISE TO NEAR 1.5 INCHES BY 00Z SAT WHICH MEANS THAT THERE IS CHANCE FOR DECENT PRECIP EFFICIENCY WITH ANY CONVECTION THAT DOES FORM AND THIS WILL BE COUPLED WITH SLOW STORM MOTION. DID NOT DEVIATE FROM CURRENT FORECAST FOR EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK GIVEN CONCERNS WITH MED RANGE MODEL CONSISTENCY. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
