NWS Amarillo, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 2, 5:39 PM CST, 2 hours 14 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX 639 PM CDT WED JUL 2 2008 .AVIATION... THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE IN THE VICINITY OF THE KDHT/KGUY TERMINALS FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS BUT ARE NOT EXPECTED TO AFFECT KAMA. THIS WILL RESULT IN VFR CONDITIONS OVERNIGHT WITH MID/UPPER LEVEL CLOUD COVER. A COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO PUSH INTO THE PANHANDLES THURSDAY MORNING...CLEARING KGUY AND KDHT BY MID TO LATE MORNING. IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THE FRONT WILL REACH KAMA...INSTEAD STALLING OUT NEAR THE CANADIAN RIVER VALLEY. THIS FRONT WILL SERVE AS A FOCUS FOR ADDITIONAL CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT THURSDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. THE BEST CHANCES APPEAR TO BE ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. THEREFORE...PROB30 GROUPS WERE INSERTED BETWEEN 18Z AND 00Z AT KDHT/KGUY. I ONLY ADDED CB REMARKS FOR KAMA AT THIS TIME GIVEN THE LOWER PROBABILITY OF CONVECTION. PREVAILING VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD...ALTHOUGH BRIEF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS ARE POSSIBLE IN THUNDERSTORMS. JOHNSON && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 504 PM CDT WED JUL 2 2008/ UPDATE... TEMPS HAVE WARMED TO AT OR JUST ABOVE 100 DEGREES ACROSS THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE CWA THIS AFTERNOON...ALLOWING THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ALONG THE SURFACE TROF FROM NEAR DALHART...TO GUYMON...TO KNOWLES. THESE THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD LAST FOR SEVERAL MORE HOURS GIVEN THE SURFACE HEATING AND LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THE TROF AXIS. HOWEVER...SINCE DIURNAL FORCING IS THE DOMINANT MECHANISM WITH THIS CONVECTION...COVERAGE SHOULD DROP SIGNIFICANTLY AFTER SUNSET. POPS WERE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ALL OF THE OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE AS WELL AS THE NORTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE. I DO NOT THINK THAT THIS ACTIVITY WILL VENTURE SOUTH OF THE CANADIAN RIVER VALLEY THIS EVENING GIVEN THE WEAK STEERING FLOW SO THESE AREAS WERE LEFT DRY. OTHER MINOR TWEAKS WERE MADE TO THE DEWPOINT AND SKY GRIDS. UPDATE PUBLIC AND FIRE WEATHER PRODUCTS WILL BE ISSUED SHORTLY. JOHNSON PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 335 PM CDT WED JUL 2 2008/ DISCUSSION... COLD FRONT CURRENTLY EXTENDS FROM EASTERN NE TO CENTRAL KS TO NORTHEASTERN NM. SCT TSRA ONGOING IN SOUTHERN KS WITH CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT AND LLVL MOISTURE ADVECTION HAS PUSHED SFC DEW POINTS INTO THE LOWER 60S. FOR TONIGHT...WEAK NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT MAY ALLOW SCT TSRA IN NORTHERN NM TO MOVE INTO THE FAR WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE PANHANDLES THIS EVENING. GIVEN THE DIURNAL NATURE OF THIS CONVECTION AND WITHOUT ANY UPPER SUPPORT...ANY CONVECTION SHOULD REMAIN WEST OF THE REMAINDER OF THE PANHANDLES. LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE SIMILAR WITH TEMPS GENERALLY IN THE 60S TO LOWER 70S. FRONT BECOMES QUASI STATIONARY AS IT HANGS UP ACROSS THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE PANHANDLES THU AFTERNOON. MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH FRONT HANGING UP JUST NORTH OF AMARILLO. SOUTHEAST UPSLOPE FLOW NORTH OF FRONT WILL ADVECT LLVL WARM MOIST AIR AND COMBINED WITH CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT...SCT TSRA COULD DEVELOP ACROSS THE NORTHERN PANHANDLES IN THE AFTERNOON. SPEED SHEAR VALUES LOOK MARGINAL GIVEN RATHER WEAK MID/UPPER FLOW ALTHOUGH MARGINAL DIRECTIONAL SHEAR CAN BE ENOUGH FOR SEVERE THREAT. ALSO GIVEN WEAK FLOW ALOFT...ANY STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP WILL BE SLOW MOVING AND WITH FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOWING PWAT VALUES HIGHER THAN CLIMATOLOGY NORMS...FLOODING MAY BE A CONCERN. THE 4TH OF JULY IS SHAPING UP TO BE A DECENT ALBEIT HOT DAY AS THE FRONT LIFTS WELL NORTH OF THE CWA AND MID/UPPER RIDGE OVER THE FOUR CORNERS REGION EDGES A BIT FURTHER TO THE EAST. SUBSIDENCE ASSOCIATED WITH THE RIDGE AND WARMING TEMPS ALOFT SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO KEEP THE CWA PRECIP FREE. RIDGE BECOMES HIGHLY AMPLIFIED AND MOVES FURTHER TO THE EAST SAT IN RESPONSE TO DIGGING UPPER TROUGH OVER NORTHWESTERN CANADA. MADE VERY FEW CHANGES TO REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST WITH ANOTHER LARGE MID/UPPER RIDGE BECOMING ESTABLISHED ACROSS THE DESERT SOUTHWEST. CLK FIRE WEATHER... FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS WILL REMAIN MINIMAL FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AS RH VALUES TO REMAIN ABOVE 20 PERCENT. CLK && .AMA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... TX...NONE. OK...NONE. && 24/07
