AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX 422 PM CDT MON JUN 5 2006 .DISCUSSION... HIGH BASED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED ONCE AGAIN OVER THE PANHANDLES...WITH THE MOST FAVORED AREA ALONG THE WEST WHERE THE CAP WAS WEAK. INVERTED-V SOUNDINGS SUGGEST STRONG DOWNBURST POTENTIAL THIS EVENING. SURFACE BOUNDARY PUSHES FURTHER SOUTH AND ENCOURAGES A COOLER UPSLOPE FLOW ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. MAINTAINED POPS OVER THE WEST WHERE CONVECTION IS FAVORABLE. TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE COOLER OVER MOST OF THE PANHANDLES WITH A PREDOMINATELY EAST WIND. UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS OVERHEAD AND LESSENS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CAP TO BREAK DURING PEAK HEATING. KEPT POPS FOR WEDNESDAY EVENING FOR THE STORMS COMING OFF THE HIGHER TERRAIN. OTHERWISE...FORECAST WILL BE DRY THEREAFTER. THE RIDGE DOMINATES THE AREA THROUGH THE REST OF THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST THOUGH IT IS EXPECTED TO BECOME FLATTER BY THE WEEKEND. DISTURBANCES COULD IGNITE STORMS NORTH OF THE PANHANDLES. AT THIS TIME...CONFIDENCE IS LOW FOR STORMS TO DEVELOP THIS FAR SOUTH. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
