AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LUBBOCK TX 325 PM CDT SUN SEP 11 2005 .SHORT TERM... SHEARED AND UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT IN PLACE ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AS UPPER TROUGH AND SPEED MAX APPROACH. INCREASED THUNDERSTORMS TO HIGH CHANCES MOST OF THE WESTERN AND NORTHERN PARTS OF THE AREA. STORMS HAVE BEEN AND LIKELY WILL CONTINUE TO FAVOR MULTICELLULAR LINES WITH A LOW SEVERE THREAT FOR BOTH HAIL AND WIND. WITH HEIGHTS ALOFT SLOWLY FALLING...CONVECTIVE LINES WILL BE MOVING EAST AS WELL ALTHOUGH SLOWLY...SO THE EXCESSIVE RAINFALL THREAT WILL STILL NEED SOME WATCHING TONIGHT. APPEARS ACTIVITY MAY LET UP SOME AFTER THE EVENING AS TROUGH PASSES AND COOLER AIR SETS IN...BUT WILL NOT REMOVE LATE NIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS JUST YET. DRY LINE AND LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE MAY BE EVEN MORE PRONOUNCED ON MONDAY...BUT UPPER FORCING LESS. CHANCE OF STORMS STILL JUSTIFIED THEREFORE AND WILL REQUIRE FEW CHANGES. MCQUEEN .LONG TERM... RECENT MODEL RUNS HAVE TRENDED TOWARD RETAINING LOW-LVL MOISTURE ACROSS MOST OF THE CWA MON EVE INSTEAD OF DRYING OVER THE WESTERN COUNTIES BEHIND A SFC TROF. HAVE THUS DECIDED TO EXPAND OUR CHC POPS WEST TO THE NM BORDER. IN FACT...IF THE NORTH-WEST/CENTRAL COUNTIES CAN HOLD ON TO THE MOISTURE THEY APPEAR TO HAVE THE BEST CHC FOR TSTMS AS THEY SHOULD BE CLOSER TO THE SYN-SCALE LIFT. A STRONG SHTWV FROM THE WESTERN U.S. TROUGH EJECTS OUT INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS TUES WHILE THE UPPER FLOW BECOMES MORE WESTERLY OVER THE SRN PLAINS. A 100+ KT 250MB JET WILL BE NOSING INTO THE NRN NM AND THE PANHANDLES ON WED. THIS BRINGS LOTS OF UNCERTAINTY WITH REGARDS TO THE MOTION OF THE COLD FRONT MOVING INTO THE SRN PLAINS TUES AND WED. THE 12Z RUNS BACKED OFF ON THE STRONG PUSH INTO OUR CWA THAT WAS APPARENT IN THE 6Z MODEL RUNS. STILL PREFER THE MORE AGGRESSIVE ETA ON TUE DEPICTING A SURGE DOWN THE HIGHER TERRAIN OUT WEST AND INTO OUR NW COUNTIES...SOMETHING THAT OFTEN OCCURS. ETA AND GFS SHOW THE FRONT THEN HANGING UP OVER THE PANHANDLES MOST OF TUE EVE AND WED AS A LOW-AMPLITUDE WAVE MOVES ACROSS THE CENTRAL ROCKIES. THEN WE MAY SEE ANOTHER PUSH TO THE FRONT BEHIND THIS WAVE THAT WILL SEND IT SOUTHWARD INTO THE SPLNS WED EVE. UNFORTUNATELY...GIVEN THE INCONSISTENCY OF THE MODEL SOLUTIONS ...DID NOT WANT TO MAKE MANY CHANGES TO THE GRIDS. DID UP THE POPS ACROSS THE EXTREME SOUTHERN PANHANDLE AND NRN ROLLING PLAINS WED AND THU. THERE IS ALSO THE POSSIBILITY THAT MUCH OF THE AREA WILL SEE COOLER TEMPS BEHIND THE FRONT ON THU...BUT CONFIDENCE TOO LOW TO LOWER TEMPS AT THIS POINT. BY THURSDAY...EVEN WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF A WEAKENING FRONT IN THE AREA...LITTLE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT TO SPEAK OF AS RIDGE BUILD IN OVER TX. TROF OVER THE NORTHWEST U.S. DEEPENS FRI AND SAT WITH RIDGE AMPLIFYING DOWNSTREAM OVER WTX...ARGUING FOR CONTINUING THE DRY CONDITIONS AND ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS INTO THE WEEKEND. LOTS OF VARIATION BETWEEN MODEL SOLUTIONS WITH REGARDS TO PATH OF THIS TROF...SO HAVE LEFT DRY FCST IN PLACE FOR NOW. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
