AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX
712 PM CDT SAT JUN 2 2007

.AVIATION...
ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED CONVECTION WILL PUSH SOUTH ACROSS THE
DALHART AND AMARILLO TAF SITES THROUGH LATE TONIGHT. MVFR TO IFR
CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES CAN BE EXPECTED IN AND NEAR THE
CONVECTION...WHILE VFR CONDITIONS OUTSIDE THE CONVECTION. LIGHT

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 333 PM CDT SAT JUN 2 2007/

DISCUSSION...
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT CURRENTLY SEEN ON SAT AND RADAR IN
NORTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO SHOULD SPREAD SOUTHWARD AND PROPOGATE INTO
THE WESTERN CWA. MID AND UPPER FLOW TODAY SEEMS A BIT MORE NORTHERLY
WHICH MAY KEEP THE CONVECTION A BIT FURTHER WEST THAN WHAT WAS
NOTICED YESTERDAY. DEWPOINTS ARE ALSO A BIT LOWER THAN WHAT WAS SEEN
YESTERDAY SO INSTABILITY SHOULD BE A BIT LESS...THOUGH STILL ENOUGH
TO SEEM SOME OF THE CONVECTION TO BECOME SEVERE WITH HAIL BEING THE
PRIMARY THREAT.

TOMORROW WILL BE MUCH LIKE TODAY WITH AFTERNOON MOUNTAIN CONVECTION
MOVING INTO THE WESTERN PANHANDLES AGAIN. MONDAY NIGHT WILL SEE
CONVECTION DEVELOP ONCE AGAIN TO THE WEST...HOWEVER AN UPPER RIDGE
WILL BE IN CLOSER PROXIMITY CAUSING MORE WESTERLY MID LEVEL FLOW
SPREADING CONVECTION FURTHER EAST. BY TUESDAY THE UPPER RIDGE WILL BE
OVER THE AREA FINALLY KILLING PRECIP CHANCES THROUGH THE END OF THE
FORECAST PERIOD AND USHERING IN A PERIOD OF WARMER TEMPERATURES.
LOOKS AS THOUGH WE WILL FINALLY BREAK 90 DEGREES BY THE END OF THE
WEEK HERE IN AMA. THE FRONT THAT YESTERDAYS GFS WAS SHOWING MOVING
INTO THE AREA LATE NEXT WEEK IS NOW SHOWN BY BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF
TO BE HOLDING UP IN KANSAS OR AT MOST THE NORTHERN CWA. AM NOW
GAINING CONFIDENCE THAT THE FRONT WILL NOT MAKE IT INTO OUR CWA
THANKS TO PROLONGED SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW AHEAD OF A DIGGING TROUGH OVER
THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST. SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW MEANS HOT AND DRY FOR US
THIS TIME OF YEAR...THOUGH I DID ALLOW TEMPS TO FALL SLIGHTLY THANKS
TO LOWER HEIGHTS.
