AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX 606 PM CDT SUN JUN 22 2008 .AVIATION... THE MAIN AVIATION CONCERN IN THE SHORT TERM WILL BE CONVECTIVE CHANCES. A QUASI LINEAR MCS HAS DEVELOPED FROM EAST CENTRAL NM INTO THE WESTERN OK PANHANDLE WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FORMING AHEAD OF THE LINE. THESE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE AFFECTING THE TERMINALS AT THE TAF ISSUANCE TIME. THIS CONVECTION WILL BE COVERED IN PREVAILING AND TEMPO GROUPS IN THE SHORT TERM. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF THE EVENING AS THE SHORTWAVE EMBEDDED IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT SHOULD HELP SUSTAIN THE CONVECTION EVEN AFTER SUNSET. MVFR VSBYS ARE EXPECTED TO ACCOMPANY THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING. BRIEF MVFR CIGS ARE POSSIBLE BUT GIVEN THE HIGH DEWPOINT DEPRESSIONS...I HAVE KEPT CIGS AT 4000 FEET OR HIGHER. CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO END BY 06Z-07Z FOR THE TAF LOCATIONS WITH PREVAILING MVFR CONDITIONS THEREAFTER. MONDAY SHOULD BE DRY THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY BUT THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL BE INCREASING BY LATE AFTERNOON AS THE NEXT SHORTWAVE APPROACHES AND INTERACTS WITH A RELATIVELY UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT.
