AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX 635 PM CDT TUE MAY 29 2007 .AVIATION... DRYLINE CURRENTLY SET UP JUST WEST OF A KAMA TO KCAO LINE...BUT IT IS MOVING SLOWLY EAST. SO EXPECT STORM DEVELOPMENT MAINLY IN THE CENTRAL TO NORTHERN PANHANDLES WITH KGUY AND MAYBE KDHT AS MOST LIKELY TAF SITES TO SEE PRECIP. PRECIP CHANCES WILL MOVE EAST THROUGH THE EVENING THOUGH. WINDS WILL STAY IN THE 20KT RANGE GENERALLY OUT OF THE SOUTH AS THE LL JET IS IN PLACE. COLD FRONT ANTICIPATED TO REACH THE OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE AROUND 08Z THEN PASS THROUGH KAMA AROUND 10Z. COULD SEE SOME ISOLATED STORMS FORM ALONG THE FRONT...WITH LOW CIGS ALSO OCCURRING IN THE IFR RANGE. MAY SEE SOME PATCH BR FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME BEHIND THE FRONT...BUT ANY BR WOULD LIFT BY 13Z OR SO. JJB && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 345 PM CDT TUE MAY 29 2007/ DISCUSSION... DRYLINE HAS BECOME ESTABLISHED JUST EAST OF AMARILLO...ABOUT HALFWAY BETWEEN AMARILLO AND THE EDGE OF THE CAPROCK. WINDS ALOFT ARE RELATIVELY WEAK SO WE WILL HAVE TO SEE WHAT THUNDERSTORMS WILL DO ONCE THEY DEVELOP. BEST CHANCES FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE PANHANDLE WHERE SURFACE WINDS WILL BE OUT OF THE SOUTH SOUTHEAST AND DEEPEST MOISTURE WILL BE LOCATED. SEVERE WEATHER CHANCES WILL TAPER OFF AFTER MIDNIGHT BUT PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE EAST THROUGH TOMORROW AFTERNOON AS THE COLD FRONT PUSHES ACROSS THE AREA. SLOW STORM MOTION COULD RESULT IN ISOLATED AREAS RECEIVING HEAVY RAINFALL WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF FLASH FLOODING. FRONT PUSHES FAR ENOUGH SOUTH THAT RAIN CHANCES WILL REMAIN LOW WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...BUT NOT NEGLIGIBLE. A FEW SHORTWAVES COULD MOVE ACROSS THE AREA WED/THUR THANKS TO THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WHICH THE MAJORITY OF THE MODELS LEAVE SPINNING OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS. AS WARM FRONT MOVES NORTH ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH EVENING...RAIN CHANCES WILL ONCE AGAIN INCREASE FOR THURSDAY NIGHT. THROUGH SUNDAY...NORTHWESTERLY FLOW DEVELOPS SO PRECIPITATION CHANCES SHOULD REMAIN IN PLACE AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS THROUGH AT LEAST SUNDAY. CLEANED UP POP GRIDS FROM FRIDAY ON TO CARRY MAJORITY OF SLIGHT CHANCE POPS THROUGH SUNDAY. CONTINUED WITH TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN MEX GUIDANCE FOR HIGHS AND WARMER FOR LOWS AS MOISTURE REMAINS ACROSS THE REGION. JORDAN && .AMA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... TX...NONE. OK...NONE. && 14/11
