NWS Amarillo, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 26, 1:09 PM CST, 3 hours 6 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX 209 PM CDT THU JUN 26 2008 .DISCUSSION... LOCAL PROFILERS SHOW A FAIRLY LIGHT ZONAL TO SOUTHWEST FLOW AT THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS. THIS IS NOT THAT FAVORABLE OF A FLOW TO BRING MOUNTAIN CONVECTION THIS WAY. THEREFORE...WILL CONTINUE WITH THE CURRENT CONFIGURATION OF THE POPS FOR TONIGHT...UNLESS WE SEE MORE CONVECTION DEVELOPING AHEAD OF THE MOUNTAIN CONVECTION. A COLD FRONT ENTERS THE PANHANDLES FROM THE NORTH BY LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND THEN IT SLOWLY MAKES IT WAY SOUTHWARD BEFORE STALLING SOMEWHERE IN THE SOUTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE SATURDAY MORNING. BELIEVE THIS FRONT WILL HELP TO FOCUS A BETTER CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY NIGHT AND AGAIN SATURDAY NIGHT AS UPSLOPE FLOW NEAR THE SURFACE GETS SET UP AND FLOW ALOFT TURNS MORE NORTHWESTERLY AS UPPER RIDGE BUILDS ACROSS THE ROCKIES AND A UPPER LOW MOVES SLOWLY SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES. POPS WILL CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT AS THE FRONT DISSIPATES AND NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES TO BRING THUNDERSTORMS THIS WAY. IT APPEARS THAT THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BUILD EASTWARD INTO THE PLAINS STARTING NEXT WEEK...WHICH MAY LOWER OUR CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS AS MOUNTAIN CONVECTION SHOULD STAY TO OUR WEST. HOWEVER...IF THE RIDGE STAYS BACK OVER THE ROCKIES AND THE NORTHWEST FLOW CONTINUES OVER THE PANHANDLES...THEN WE MAY CONTINUE TO SEE LATE AFTERNOON AND NIGHTTIME THUNDERSTORMS. && .FIRE WEATHER... LIGHTNING WILL BE A THREAT FOR STARTING WILDFIRES. BUT...WITH THE MOISTURE IN PLACE AND RAIN IN THE FORECAST THE OVERALL WILDFIRE DANGER WILL BE LOW THROUGH THIS FORECAST. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
