AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX
215 PM CDT FRI MAY 25 2007

.DISCUSSION...
THE PANHANDLES WILL BE UNDER FAIRLY WEAK FLOW ALOFT THROUGH THE
MEMORIAL DAY HOLIDAY. WEAK UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGHS WILL
SLOWLY PUSH EAST NORTHEAST ONE FROM NORTH CENTRAL MEXICO AND
ANOTHER FROM NORTHWEST MEXICO THROUGH THE WEEKEND. MEANWHILE...THE
MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WILL STICK AROUND FOR THESE SHORT WAVES TO
WORK WITH AS THEY MOVE INTO WEST TEXAS. THEREFORE...THINK THERE
WILL BE A DAILY CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS. ALSO THE NORTHERN
STREAM SHORT WAVES WILL MOVE CLOSE ENOUGH TO OUR AREA TO KEEP A
LEE-SIDE TROUGH IN TACT...WHICH WILL NOT ONLY KEEP OUR WINDS
SOUTHERLY...BUT IT MAY BECOME A FOCUS FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
TO DEVELOP.

A DRYLINE IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AND MOVE TO THE EASTERN PANHANDLES
ON TUESDAY AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT WHICH WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION ON
WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE FLOW ALOFT THEN BECOMES NORTHWESTERLY
BETWEEN AN UPPER LOW OVER THE MIDWEST AND A RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDING ACROSS THE ROCKIES. MODELS INDICATE THAT THERE
MAY BE SOME MINOR SHORT WAVES MOVING THROUGH THE NORTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT AND ACROSS THE PANHANDLES THROUGH LATE NEXT WEEK...SO CAN NOT
RULE OUT A DAILY CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

GENERALLY FOLLOWED THE GFS MODEL FOR TEMPERATURES...BUT BLENDED THE
POP FORECAST BETWEEN SEVERAL MODELS.
