AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX

.DISCUSSION...
WINDS CONTINUE TO INCREASE WITH TEMPS SOARING INTO THE 90S ACROSS THE
PANHANDLES THIS AFTERNOON. WE HAVE ALREADY HAD A GUST OF 59 MPH
RECORDED AT THE BOISE CITY MESONET SITE AND THESE OBS SHOULD BECOME
MORE PREVALENT AS H5 SPEED MAX APPROACHES THE AREA. DRY LINE HAS HAD
A HARD TIME MIXING TO EAST AND RESIDES JUST WEST OF A KGUY TO KAMA
LINE AT THIS TIME. THERE IS STILL AN OUTSIDE SHOT THAT A STORM OR TWO
COULD DEVELOP ACROSS THE EASTERN PANHANDLES LATE THIS AFTERNOON...BUT
MID-LEVEL WARMING HAS RESULTED IN A VERY STRONG CAP. WILL CONTINUE
WITH LOW POPS ACROSS THE EXTREME EAST THROUGH THIS EVENING. WILL ALSO
CONTINUE THE HIGH WIND WARNING AND WIND ADVISORY IN THEIR CURRENT
ORIENTATION THROUGH 03Z.
HOT...DRY AND WINDY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ON THURSDAY AS WELL. WIND
SPEEDS SHOULD REMAIN BELOW WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA TOMORROW...BUT WILL
PROBABLY STILL CLIMB INTO THE 20-30 MPH RANGE. WENT AT OR ABOVE MOS
TEMPS FOR TOMORROW AS COMPRESSIONAL HEATING FROM STRONG DOWNSLOPE
FLOW AND MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES SHOULD HAVE MAX TEMPS APPROACHING 90
DEGREES AGAIN. COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE THURSDAY
EVENING IN THE NORTH...CLEARING THE SOUTHERN ZONES BEFORE 12Z FRIDAY.
THIS WILL RESULT IN A SHIFT TO NORTHERLY WINDS...GUSTY AT TIMES
THURSDAY NIGHT...AND COOLER TEMPS. EXPECT HIGHS IN THE AT OR JUST
BELOW 80 DEGREES ON FRIDAY WITH ENE LOW-LEVEL FLOW. FROPA SHOULD
REMAIN DRY DUE TO THE PROLONGED PERIOD OF DRY SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW
AHEAD OF THE FRONT.
LEE TROF WILL REDEVELOP BY FRIDAY NIGHT. WINDS WILL RESPOND BY
BECOMING SOUTHEASTERLY BY LATE AFTERNOON...GRADUALLY BECOME SOUTHERLY
BY SATURDAY MORNING. INCREASING MOISTURE AND LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE
SHOULD HELP PROVIDE A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE
SOUTHERN ZONES FRIDAY NIGHT...THEN AREAWIDE ON SATURDAY. LIFT WILL BE
ENHANCED BY SHORTWAVE EMBEDDED IN SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT LATE
SATURDAY. THIS MAY RESULT IN CONVECTIVE COMPLEX MOVING THROUGH THE
AREA SATURDAY NIGHT. GFS LOOKS TO BE SUFFERING FROM CONVECTIVE
FEEDBACK DURING THIS PERIOD...BUT THE FEATURES ARE THERE.
EXPECT A BRIEF DRY PERIOD SUNDAY AND MONDAY AS SUBTROPICAL RIDGE
BUILDS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. HOWEVER...MODELS ARE DEPICTING A
SLOW-MOVING CLOSED LOW OVER THE SOUTHWEST CONUS EARLY NEXT WEEK THAT
MAY BE A PLAYER IN OUR WEATHER AS EARLY AS TUESDAY. MOUNTAIN
CONVECTION IS LIKELY TO DEVELOP OUT WEST AND MOVE INTO THE PANHANDLES
DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. EARLY MODEL PROGS SUGGEST FAIRLY GOOD
INSTABILITY AND STRONG SHEAR DURING THIS PERIOD...SO SOME SEVERE
WEATHER DOES APPEAR POSSIBLE.

.FIRE WEATHER...
HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ON THURSDAY AS WESTERLY WINDS
INCREASE TO 20-30 MPH. RH VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO DROP BELOW 15
PERCENT ACROSS THE WESTERN ONE-HALF OF THE PANHANDLES AS WELL. WILL
HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE FIRE DANGER RATING FOR THE AREA AS IT HAS
REMAINED BELOW THE HIGH LEVEL REQUIRED FOR A RED FLAG WARNING. A FIRE
DANGER STATEMENT APPEARS THE MOST LIKELY PRODUCT TO BE ISSUED FOR
TOMORROW...BUT IF THE DANGER RATING CONTINUES TO CREEP UP...A RED
FLAG WARNING MAY BE REQUIRED...DESPITE THE RECENT RAINFALL.
