AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX 642 PM CDT FRI JUN 18 2010 .AVIATION... STRONG TO SEVERE TSTMS EXPECTED TO IMPACT AREAS MAINLY E OF TERMINALS THIS EVE. BY 00Z SAT...LOW-LEVEL JET EXPECTED TO DEVELOP... PRODUCING AREAS OF LOW-LEVEL WIND SHEAR. NO LOW CLOUDS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT. SFC WINDS EXPECTED TO GUST AROUND 25 KT FOR GOOD PART OF THE DAY ON SAT. BY 21Z SAT...AXIS OF INSTBY EXPECTED TO LIE FROM W OF AMA TO GUY...WITH HIGH-BASED CB FCST AS CLOUD TYPE. APART FROM BRIEF MVFR VSBYS IN TSTMS...VFR FCST CONTINUES NEXT 24 HOURS. COCKRELL && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 456 PM CDT FRI JUN 18 2010/ UPDATE... HAVE UPDATED GRAPHICAL FCSTS...ALLOWING FOR SCT TO ISOLATED TSTMS OCCURRING BEFORE 00Z. HAVE ALSO MADE ADJUSTMENTS TO POPS AFTER 00Z...INCREASING POPS OVER CENTRAL ZONES BASED ON CURRENT RADAR TRENDS. HAVE ADJUSTED QPF FCSTS ALSO. UPDATED TEXT PRODUCTS WILL BE ISSUED SHORTLY. COCKRELL PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 316 PM CDT FRI JUN 18 2010/ DISCUSSION... CU HAS DEVELOPED IN EASTERN NEW MEXICO AND IN THE SOUTHWEST TEXAS PANHANDLE ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE SURFACE TROUGH. THE EASTERN PANHANDLES ARE UNDER SOME SUBSIDENCE BEHIND OUR DEPARTING SHORT WAVE. BELIEVE THAT ALL OF THE PANHANDLES HAVE A SHOT AT A SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM THROUGH TONIGHT. THE FIRST SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY MAY START IN THE WEST...BUT AS THE LOW LEVEL JET DEVELOPS LATER TONIGHT IT MAY HELP ANY CONVECTION THAT HAS DEVELOPED TO CONTINUE ON TO THE EAST. THERE IS STILL SOME CONCERN ABOUT THE CAP IN PLACE ACROSS THE AREA. BUT FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW THAT IF TEMPERATURES CAN GET INTO THE LOWER TO MID 90S...THEN THE CAP CAN BE BROKEN. SOME OF THE STORMS...IF THEY DEVELOP... COULD BECOME SEVERE AGAIN TONIGHT. LATEST SPC MESOSCALE ANALYSIS OF SURFACE BASED CAPE SHOWS 2000 TO 4000 J/KG ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA. THE WINDS ALOFT ARE A LITTLE WEAKER THAN YESTERDAY... SO STORMS MAY MOVE SLOWER...WHICH COULD LEAD TO SOME HEAVIER RAINFALL AMOUNTS. WILL KEEP THUNDERSTORMS GOING ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHWEST FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND SATURDAY EVENING FOR ANY ISOLATED ACTIVITY THAT COULD DEVELOP IN THE SOUTHWEST FLOW AROUND THE NORTHWEST EDGE OF THE UPPER HIGH WHICH WILL BE OVER SOUTHEAST TEXAS. HAVE ADDED SOME POPS FOR FATHERS DAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT. MODELS INDICATE THAT THERE MAY BE A WEAK SHORT WAVE TROUGH THAT MOVES THROUGH THE SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT ON THE NORTHWEST SIDE OF THE HIGH. HAVE LEFT THE REST OF THE FORECAST DRY FOR NOW. THE UPPER LEVEL HIGH BUILDS BACK OVER THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS AND IT SEEMS TO PARK THERE FOR THE REST OF THIS FORECAST. STILL COULD NOT RULE OUT THE POSSIBILITY OF ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ON ONE DAY NEXT WEEK...BUT WILL WAIT TILL WE GET CLOSER TO SEE THE TRENDS BEFORE WE INSERT POPS. FIRE WEATHER... CHANCES OF RAIN AND THE PRESENCE OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE THROUGH THE WEEKEND WILL PRECLUDE CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
