Area forecast discussion, Jul 27, 10:15 PM CST, 1 hour 45 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX 1115 PM CDT MON JUL 27 2009 .UPDATE... LARGE MCS HEADING TOWARD THE PANHANDLES FROM SOUTHWEST KANSAS. MCS HAS HELD STEADY THE LAST FEW HOURS SO THINKING THE SYSTEM SHOULD CONTINUE TO PUSH THROUGH THE PANHANDLES AND PROVIDE A GOOD SHOT AT PRECIP FOR THE NORTHEAST ZONES. UPPED POPS SIGNIFICANTLY ACROSS THE NORTHEAST...AND LOWERED THEM BELOW MENTIONABLE IN THE SOUTHWEST. ALSO TWEAKED SKY GRIDS TO ACCOMMODATE THE APPROACHING MCS. JJB && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 619 PM CDT MON JUL 27 2009/ AVIATION... NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL ALLOW UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES TO DROP DOWN INTO THE PANHANDLES THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING. A COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY MOVE THROUGH THE GUYMON AND DALHART TAF SITES BETWEEN 15Z AND 18Z TUESDAY...AND IS EXPECTED TO STALL BEFORE REACHING THE AMARILLO TAF SITE. GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OUTSIDE OF ANY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING...WITH MVFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED IN AND NEAR SHOWERS AND STORMS. SCHNEIDER PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 300 PM CDT MON JUL 27 2009/ DISCUSSION... SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN CWA CONTINUE TO MOVE VERY SLOWLY SOUTH WITH THE MID LEVEL DEFORMATION ZONE. MOUNTAIN CONVECTION SEEMS TO BE SLOWER TO START TODAY...SO OUR BETTER CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY COME OVERNIGHT AS AN MCS OVER WESTERN KANSAS AND EASTERN COLORADO APPROACHES OUR AREA IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE COLD FRONT. COLD FRONT NOW LIES FROM NORTHEAST COLORADO INTO EXTREME NORTHWEST KANSAS AND INTO SOUTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. THE COLD FRONT SHOULD MAKE STEADY PROGRESS SOUTH OVERNIGHT AND THEREFORE HAVE GONE CLOSER TO THE SLIGHTLY FASTER NAM MODEL. THE COLD FRONT ALONG WITH AN UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE MOVING SOUTHEAST IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. ON WEDNESDAY...COLD FRONT DISSIPATES AND WINDS TURN AROUND TO THE SOUTH IN RESPONSE TO ANOTHER STRONG UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE DIVING SOUTHEAST IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL BE APPROACHING THE OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND THIS WILL AGAIN PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR MORE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. THIS FRONT THEN SLIDES SOUTH ACROSS THE PANHANDLES ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT BRINGING ANOTHER FAIRLY GOOD SHOT AT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE COLD FRONT WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL BE A BIT STRONGER THAN THE ONE THAT PASSES THROUGH TUESDAY...WITH MOST PLACES NOT SEEING HIGHS OUT OF THE 70S. NORTHWEST FLOW IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE END OF THIS FORECAST...SO CAN NOT RULE OUT A DAILY CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE PANHANDLES. FIRE WEATHER... FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS WILL REMAIN AT A MINIMUM THROUGH THIS FORECAST AS DEW POINTS REMAIN FAIRLY HIGH AND DRYING POTENTIAL WILL BE LOW GIVEN THE CHANCES OF RAIN. HYDROLOGY... THE CIMARRON RIVER THROUGH CIMARRON COUNTY REMAINS NEAR BANKFULL STAGE THIS AFTERNOON. THE RIVER AT THE GAGE SITE IS EXPECTED TO RISE AGAIN EARLY THIS EVENING BEFORE FALLING AGAIN LATE TONIGHT. MORE RAIN IS POSSIBLE TONIGHT AND ESPECIALLY ON TUESDAY WHICH COULD KEEP THE CIMARRON RIVER NEAR BANKFULL. && .AMA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... TX...NONE. OK...NONE. && 11/14
