AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN ANGELO TX 631 PM CDT FRI MAY 13 2005 .UPDATE... UPDATED FOR TORNADO WATCH 273 WHICH INCLUDES SAN ANGELO TO SABA...THEN NORTHWARD ACROSS ALL OF THE BIG COUNTRY. STORM WERE DEVELOPING SOUTH OF SWEETWATER AND MAY MOVE EASTWARD ALONG I-20 TOWARD ABILEN THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS. LARGE SUPERCELL IN KNOX COUNTY MAY AFFECT HASKELL OR THROCKMORTON 730 TO 8 PM TIME FRAME. LARGE DAMAGING HAIL LIKELY TO DEVELOP WITH THESE STORMS TONIGHT...WITH ISOLATED TORNADOES. && .PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 301 PM CDT FRI MAY 13 2005) DISCUSSION... SCENARIO SHAPING UP FOR AN ACTIVE THUNDERSTORM SCENARIO LATER THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT IN OUR REGION. A SHARPENED DRYLINE HAS MIXED EASTWARD ACROSS WEST TX AND WAS APPROACHING AN IRAAN TO SNYDER LINE. DRYLINE EXTENDED UP TO A MESO-LOW EAST OF LUBBOCK. A TORNADO WATCH HAS ALREADY BEEN ISSUED FOR THE AREA JUST NORTH OF OUR COUNTIES INTO SOUTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA...WHERE THUNDERSTORM INITIATION IS IMMINENT. FARTHER SOUTH ALONG THE DRYLINE...EXPECT SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP BY LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING ALONG THE DRYLINE AS THE STRONGER PART OF THE CAP IS EVENTUALLY BROKEN. STORMS HAVE ALREADY DEVELOPED NEAR FORT STOCTON. EXPECT SCATTERED STORMS TO MOVE OFF THE DRYLINE AND AFFECT OUR AREA NORTHWEST OF AN ALBANY TO SAN ANGELO TO OZONA LINE THIS EVENING/ EARLY TONIGHT. GIVEN THE STRONG INSTABILITY AND SUFFICIENT VERTICAL SHEAR PROFILES...SOME OF THE STORMS COULD BE SEVERE. LATER TONIGHT THE EFFECTIVE COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL PUSH SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE RED RIVER AND INTO THE BIG COUNTRY. EXPECT ADDITIONAL STORM DEVELOPMENT ALONG AND AHEAD OF THIS FRONT. LOW-LEVEL JET AND 850 MILLIBAR THETA-E RIDGE SUPPORT HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL WITH THE STORMS OVERNIGHT. CARRYING CHANCE POPS FOR MOST OF WEST CENTRAL TX SATURDAY...WITH THE BEST SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE SHIFTING SOUTHWESTWARD AS THE FRONT CONTINUES SOUTHWARD. THE NAM AND GFS MODELS STILL SHOW SOME DIFFERENCES LATE SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY. NAM TRYING TO BRIEFLY BRING IN DRIER AIR FROM THE NORTHEAST...BUT IS LESS AGGRESSIVE THAN IN PREVIOUS MODEL RUNS. WITH REMAINING MOISTURE AND POSSIBLY SOME LIFT WITH WEAK EMBEDDED SHORTWAVES ALOFT...KEEPING THE POPS GOING SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. STILL HAVE SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH TIMING...PLACEMENT AND STRENGTH OF THESE WAVES...SO LEANING TOWARD BEING CONSERVATIVE WITH THE POPS AT THIS TIME. THE RAIN CHANCE SHOULD DIMINISH EARLY NEXT WEEK. HEIGHT RISES ALOFT ARE PROGGED THROUGH MID-WEEK WITH UPPER RIDGE BUILDING ACROSS TX LATE NEXT WEEK. THIS PAINTS A DRY WEATHER SCENARIO WITH VERY WARM TEMPERATURES...AND HIGHS CLIMBING INTO THE 90S FOR THE LATTER HALF OF NEXT WEEK. && .SJT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... TX...NONE. && 04/04

AS TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO CLIMB THIS AFTERNOON...THIS CAP IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN AND EVENTUALLY BREAK...ALLOWING THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ALONG A SHARPENING DRYLINE FROM BIG LAKE TO SNYDER. OTHER STORMS WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE REMNANTS OF AN OLD OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM LUBBOCK TO WICHITA FALLS. ALL OF THESE STORMS WILL PUSH TO THE EAST AND NORTHEAST...LIKELY BRINGING THEM INTO THE WEST AND NORTHWEST SECTIONS OF WEST CENTRAL TEXAS. THE MOST LIKELY AREA TO SEE ANY OF THE SEVERE WEATHER THIS EVENING WILL BE ALONG AND WEST OF AN OZONA TO SAN ANGELO TO ABILENE LINE. GIVEN THE INSTABILITY PRESENT...ANY STORM THAT DOES DEVELOP WILL QUICKLY REACH SEVERE LEVELS...WITH VERY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS THE PRIMARY THREATS. IN ADDITION...THERE IS SUFFICIENT WIND SHEAR THROUGH THE ATMOSPHERE TO ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FEW ISOLATED TORNADOES...PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN BIG COUNTRY. LATE TONIGHT...THE STORMS MAY MERGE INTO A SQUALL LINE ALONG A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE NORTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE AREA. IF THIS LINE DOES DEVELOP...THEN IT WOULD BE EXPECTED TO MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS MUCH OF THE REMAINDER OF WEST CENTRAL TEXAS BY SUNRISE SATURDAY MORNING. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WOULD BE THE PRIMARY THREATS FROM THIS LINE OF STORMS. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH FRIDAY ALTHOUGH COOLER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED SATURDAY AND SUNDAY BEHIND THE WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY...THERE REMAINS THE POTENTIAL OF AT LEAST SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS. AGAIN...THESE STORMS COULD BECOME QUITE STRONG...WITH A FEW PERHAPS BRIEFLY REACHING SEVERE LEVELS. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL LIKELY BE REQUESTED LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN BIG COUNTRY.
