AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LUBBOCK TX 359 PM CDT FRI JUL 14 2006 .SHORT TERM... PERSISTENT SHEAR AXIS DRAPED ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST PANHANDLE...ROLLING PLAINS AND SOUTH PLAINS WILL BE THE FOCUS MECHANISM FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EARLY EVENING. SURFACE PRESSURE TROUGH TO THE NORTH WILL PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL MECHANISM FOR LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE. DRY LOWER TO MID LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE WILL MAKE FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF HIGH BASED CONVECTION WITH THE MAIN THREAT BEING BRIEF BUT STRONG WIND GUSTS. CLOUD DECK HAS GONE SCATTERED IN MOST LOCATIONS WHICH HAS LED TO RAPID HEATING ACROSS THE REGION. MIXED LAYER CAPES PER SPC SWOMCD ARE IN THE 1500-2000J/KG RANGE. THIS MAY LEAD TO A FEW SEVERE WIND GUSTS ALONG WITH SMALL HAIL. UPPER LEVEL RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT NORTH ON SATURDAY WITH LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS VEERING TO AN UPSLOPE COMPONENT FOR SATURDAY. THIS COMBINED WITH A NORTHWARD MOVING TUTT LOW OVER DEEP SOUTH TX/E-MX SHOULD SLOWLY ADVANCE GULF MOISTURE NORTHWARD INTO CENTRAL TX. THE UPSLOPE FLOW MAY BRING A MINOR INCREASE IN LOW LEVEL MOISTURE DURING SATURDAY. STILL EXPECTING HOT TEMPERATURES IN THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 90S ON THE CAPROCK TO LOWER 100S OVER THE EASTERN ROLLING PLAINS GIVEN THE VERY DRY SOIL MOISTURE. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE PRESENT AGAIN ON SATURDAY WITH STRONG WIND GUSTS THE MAIN THREAT. KW .LONG TERM... UPPER LEVEL RIDGING REMAINS A BIG INFLUENCE ON OUR FORECAST AS IT ELONGATES ACROSS THE SOUTHERN US. THIS WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO A WEAKNESS BETWEEN 2 CENTERS OF UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE. THIS WEAKNESS MAY BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO WEST TEXAS TO BRING RAIN CHANCES BACK INTO WEST TEXAS TUESDAY THROUGH NEXT WEEK AFTER A DAY OR TWO OF DRY WEATHER. EASTER FLOW AROUND THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE WILL ALSO HELP TO BRING BACK SOME HIGHER LEVELS OF MOISTURE. THIS MAY HAVE AN IMPACT ON TEMPERATURES WITH SLIGHTLY WARMER LOWS AND COOLER HIGHS. ALTHOUGH THE ADDED MOISTURE WILL LIKELY MAKE IT FEEL ABOUT THE SAME. && .AVIATION... ISOLATED HIGH BASED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING AT BOTH KLBB AND KCDS THROUGH 03Z. THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE STRONG WIND GUSTS.
