AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX 320 PM CDT THU JUN 30 2005 .DISCUSSION... COLD FRONT HAS BECOME STATIONARY SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST ACROSS THE PANHANDLES THIS AFTERNOON. MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE MOVING NORTHEAST FROM NORTHERN NEW MEXICO WILL COMBINE WITH MOISTURE CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT TO HELP PRODUCE THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT. MID LEVEL MOISTURE IS ALSO INCREASING ACROSS THE PANHANDLES FROM THE SOUTHWEST. THIS MOISTURE IS IN A ZONE OF ELEVATED INSTABILITY WHICH MAY ALSO HELP SPARK SOME CONVECTION. THUNDERSTORMS MAY HAVE A TOUGH TIME GETTING INTO THE NORTHWEST ZONES BEHIND FRONT...AS MOUNTAIN CONVECTION WOULD HAVE TO MAKE IT THAT FAR. UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES AND SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL RETREAT A LITTLE THROUGH THE WEEKEND TO ALLOW SEVERAL SHORT WAVES TO MOVE FROM THE ROCKIES ONTO THE PLAINS IN A ZONAL TO SLIGHTLY NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. RETURN FLOW BEHIND SURFACE COLD FRONT SHOULD HELP TO INTENSIFY THE DIRECTIONAL SHEAR INTO THE MOUNTAIN CONVECTION THAT IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THESE STORMS SHOULD THEN MOVE EAST SOUTHEAST INTO THE PANHANDLES. SEE SWODY2 AND HWOAMA FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE STORMS ON FRIDAY. WENT AHEAD AND ADDED SOME LOW POPS TO THE NORTHWEST ZONES SATURDAY NIGHT...ONCE AGAIN FOR MOUNTAIN CONVECTION MOVING THIS WAY ALONG WITH ANOTHER SHORT WAVE. ANOTHER COLD FRONT TRIES TO MAKE A RUN AT THE PANHANDLES ON MONDAY MORNING. WILL HOLD OFF ON ANY POPS FOR NOW AS THE NORTHERN STREAM WAVE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS NEXT FRONT IS WEAKER THAN THE CURRENT ONE MOVING ACROSS THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES. COULD ACTUALLY ADD SOME POPS AT LEAST TO THE NORTHWEST ZONES ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE END OF NEXT WEEK. UPPER HIGH STARTS TO BUILD ACROSS THE 4-CORNERS REGION AND THE PANHANDLES GO BACK TO A TYPICAL SUMMERTIME NORTHWEST FLOW REGIME. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
