AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX
346 PM CDT WED JUN 13 2007

.DISCUSSION...
UPPER LOW IS SPINNING OVER THE NORTHERN PANHANDLES GENERATING SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS. ALSO SEEING SCATTERED STORMS FORM IN THE SOUTHERN
PORTION OF THE TEXAS PANHANDLE. BUMPED UP POPS FOR THE NEXT 12 HOURS
AND INCREASED QPF AS WELL. INSTABILITY AND SHEAR WILL SUPPORT
ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS MAINLY IN THE EASTERN PANHANDLES. SEVERE WATCH
IN EFFECT THROUGH 03Z BUT IT APPEARS THE SEVERE POTENTIAL WILL BEGIN
TO DECREASE AFTER 00Z OR SO AS THE LOW CONTINUES TO MOVE SLOWLY EAST.
STALLED FRONT SITTING DIAGONALLY ACROSS THE PANHANDLES FROM BEAVER
COUNTY DOWN THROUGH ARMSTRONG COUNTY. EXPECTING THE FRONT TO FINALLY
PUSH SOUTH AFTER 00Z.

NORTHERLY LL FLOW WILL REMAIN THROUGH THURSDAY WITH THE UPPER LOW
STALLING SOMEWHERE NEAR THE EASTERN PANHANDLES OR IN WESTERN
OKLAHOMA. KEPT THE LOWER HIGH TEMPS IN PLACE FOR TOMORROW WITH THE
POPS FOCUSED ON THE CENTRAL TO EASTERN PANHANDLES. MODELS STILL NOT
SURE EXACTLY WHERE THE UPPER LOW WILL END UP. THE 00Z AND 12Z
SOLUTIONS REVERTED BACK TO OLDER RUNS WITH THE POSITION OF THE LOW
BEING SLIGHTLY FURTHER TO THE WEST. THIS WOULD MEAN INCREASED POPS
CHANCES FOR THE CENTRAL TO EASTERN PANHANDLES WITH COOLER AIR IN
PLACE. ESPECIALLY AS THERE APPEARS TO BE A FAIRLY CONSTANT UPSLOPE
FLOW COMPONENT TO THE WINDS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. SO...DROPPED TEMPS A
FEW EXTRA DEGREES IN THE EASTERN ZONES. THE BIG WRENCH IN THE SYSTEM
WOULD BE THE SOLUTION PROVIDED BY THE NGM. OF ALL THE MODELS...THE
NGM PAINTS THE LOW MUCH FURTHER WEST WITH THE CENTER OF THE SYSTEM
OVER THE SOUTHWEST TEXAS PANHANDLE. THIS WOULD MEAN A MUCH WETTER
PATTERN FOR OUR CWA WITH TEMPS 5 TO 10 DEGREES BELOW THE CURRENT
GRIDS.

IN THE EXTENDED...MODELS STILL SHOW A FRONT PUSHING INTO THE
PANHANDLES AROUND MONDAY. SO INSERTED SOME SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN THE
EAST AND CONTINUED THE COOLER TEMPERATURE TREND. MODELS SHOW THE
UPPER LOW WILL BEGIN TO PUSH EAST ON MONDAY AS A KICKER SYSTEM BUILDS
SOUTH OUT OF THE GULF OF ALASKA. STILL PLENTY OF UNCERTAINTIES WITH
TIMING AND STRENGTH OF THE KICKER SYSTEM SO WILL HOLD OFF ON SLIGHT
CHANCE POPS FOR NOW. PLUS THE PATTERN SEEMS TO BE TRENDING INTO A
MORE WEST COAST RIDGE AND EAST COAST TROUGH PATTERN...WHICH WOULD BE
CONDUCIVE TO FORCING THE KICKER SYSTEM NORTH OF THE PANHANDLES.
