NWS Amarillo, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 22, 5:35 PM CST, 2 hours 2 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX 635 PM CDT TUE JUN 22 2010 .AVIATION... CONVECTION DURING THE FIRST FEW HOURS OF THE TAF CYCLE WILL BE MAIN CONCERN. STORMS ACROSS THE NORTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE TO THE NORTHEAST INTO THE OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE. OPTED TO CARRY VCTS REMARKS FOR GUY AND RETAIN CB REMARKS AT DHT/AMA. WILL AMEND AS NECESSARY. OTHERWISE...LOW LEVEL JET TO SET UP TONIGHT AND WILL CONTINUE WITH THE LLWS REMARKS. WIND SHIFT STILL ANTICIPATED AS COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA WED MORNING. TAB && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 336 PM CDT TUE JUN 22 2010/ UPDATE... UPDATE FOR THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH ACROSS THE OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 320 PM CDT TUE JUN 22 2010/ DISCUSSION... THE FIRST CONCERN IS GOING TO BE THE EVOLUTION OF THE COLD FRONT OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS. THERE IS A BOUNDARY FROM NEAR KTCC TO KLAA ACROSS NORTHWEST KS...THOUGH WITH THE LACK OF TEMPERATURE GRADIENT ACROSS THIS...THIS APPEARS TO BE THE PRE FRONTAL TROUGH AND NOT THE MAIN FRONT. STILL...IT WILL SERVE AS A FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ALONG THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WITH SIMILAR CONDITIONS TO YESTERDAY...EXPECT MOSTLY STRONG STORMS...WITH MAY BE A MARGINALLY SEVERE STORM POSSIBLE. FOR TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW...THE NAM...AND TO A CERTAIN EXTENT THE GFS...ARE MORE PROGRESSIVE WITH THE FRONT...AS IT COULD BE ENTERING THE REGION BY 06Z AND THROUGH A MAJORITY OF THE CWA...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE SE TX PANHANDLE BY 21Z. HOWEVER...CONSIDERING THE POOR PERFORMANCE OF THE MODELS WITH RECENT FRONTS...AND CONSIDERING THE RELATIVELY SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE FRONT TODAY...AM CAUTIOUS TO CONSIDER THE FRONT WILL COMPLETELY MOVE THROUGH THE REGION TOMORROW. BY FRIDAY...A SHORT WAVE SURFACE TROUGH WILL BRING THE NEXT CHANCE FOR CONVECTION...THOUGH IT SHOULD BE LIMITED TO THE NW TX AND W OK PANHANDLES. ALSO BY FRIDAY...THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW SHOULD BEGIN TO TRANSITION BRIEFLY TO ZONAL FLOW AS THE RIDGE BREAKS DOWN. BUT THE ZONAL FLOW WILL BE SHORT LIVED AS BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF SHOW A RIDGE DEVELOPING BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. IN FACT...THE GFS SHOWS A VERY HIGH AMPLITUDE NARROW UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BY TUESDAY....WHILE THE ECMWF SHOWS A BROADER...LESS PROGRESSIVE UPPER LEVEL HIGH. THE ECMWF IS MORE BELIEVABLE AS THE GFS IS AN OUTLIER AMONG THE NCEP ENSEMBLE MEMBERS. HOWEVER...REGARDLESS OF THE SOLUTION...THE PANHANDLE REGION SHOULD BE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE HIGH WITH WEAK MID AND UPPER LEVEL EASTERLY FLOW KEEPING TEMPERATURES CLOSER TO NORMAL THAN WHAT THE REGION HAS SEEN LATELY. SJOHNSON FIRE WEATHER... RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES ABOVE 15 PERCENT...CONTINUED CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION...AND WINDS GENERALLY BELOW 20 MPH WILL KEEP FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS LOW TO MODERATE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.
