Area forecast discussion, Jun 23, 10:51 PM CST, 1 hour 18 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX 1151 PM CDT WED JUN 23 2010 .UPDATE... MAIN REASON FOR UPDATE WAS TO REMOVE SOME EVENING WORDING. ALSO... ALIGNED HIGHEST POPS FOR THE REMAINDER OF TONIGHT ACROSS THE WESTERN ZONES BASED ON LATEST RADAR TRENDS. NO OTHER CHANGES TO THE GRIDS WERE MADE ATTM. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1130 PM CDT WED JUN 23 2010/ AVIATION... CLUSTER OF TSTMS OVER WRN AND SCNTRL TX PNHDL WILL LIKELY AFFECT KDHT AND KAMA TAFS FOR NEXT FEW HOURS...BUT MAY NOT MAKE IT TO THE KGUY SITE. STILL SOME CONCERN FOR LOW CLOUDS TOWARDS SUNRISE THU BUT CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW WITH RESPECT TO CIG POTENTIAL...SO CONTINUED PREVIOUS FCSTR IDEA OF A SCT MVFR DECK AT ALL SITES WITH THIS ISSUANCE. ANDRADE PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 654 PM CDT WED JUN 23 2010/ AVIATION... SFC COLD FRONT SOUTH OF TAF SITES...WITH MOST PRECIP WELL S AND W OF THE AREA. ISOLD TSTMS PSBL IN SRN TX PNHDL THIS EVENING CLOSEST TO FRONTAL BOUNDARY...SO HAVE RETAINED CB REMARKS AT KAMA FOR THE EVENING HOURS ONLY. SOME THREAT OF LOW CLOUDS TOWARDS SUNRISE THU BUT LOW CONFIDENCE IN CIGS...SO RETAINED A SCT MVFR DECK AT ALL SITES FOR THIS ISSUANCE. ANDRADE PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 330 PM CDT WED JUN 23 2010/ DISCUSSION... COLD FRONT HAS MADE IT THROUGH ALL OF THE PANHANDLES WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE FAR SOUTHEASTERN TX PANHANDLE. THE 0-6KM MEAN FLOW IS SOUTHWESTERLY...SO IT MAY YET BE POSSIBLE FOR STORMS TO DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT OR WITH THE HIGHER TERRAIN IN NM AND THEN MOVE INTO THE PANHANDLE REGION...THOUGH THE RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS APPEARS LIMITED ACROSS THE REGION...AS THE COOLER LOW LEVERS ARE RESULTING IN LARGE VALUES OF CIN AND ONLY MODEST VALUES OF CAPE. WITH THE FRONT FURTHER SOUTH...ADJUSTED POPS DOWN...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTH...AND ADJUSTED THE QPF SO THAT THE HIGHEST QPF VALUES ARE ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHERN TX PANHANDLE. THOUGH NAM AND GFS BOTH ADVERTISE PRECIP CONTINUING THROUGH TOMORROW...PRECIP IS UNLIKELY BETWEEN 06 AND 18Z AS THE SURFACE HIGH BUILDS IN...AND SUBSIDENCE TAKES OVER. HOWEVER...LOW CLOUDS WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THIS PERIOD. BY LATE TOMORROW...A SURFACE TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AND THIS COULD PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR CONVECTION TOMORROW. HOWEVER...CONVECTIVE INITIATION MAY BE INHIBITED BY LOW CLOUDS AND STILL SOME COOLER WEATHER. THEREFORE...DECREASED POPS TO MOSTLY SLIGHT CHANCE EXCEPT ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST TOMORROW...WHICH LOOKS FAVORED FOR THE HIGHEST DAYTIME TEMPERATURES. THE LEE TROUGH REMAINS OVER THE REGION FRIDAY...CONTINUING TO PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTION. HOWEVER...WITH THE BROAD UPPER LEVEL RIDGE FIRMLY ENTRENCHED OVER THE REGION...AND LITTLE ELSE IN THE WAY OF SYNOPTIC SUPPORT...CONVECTION WILL BE LIMITED IN COVERAGE. DURING THE WEEKEND...MODELS HAVE BEEN RATHER CONSISTENT IN BREAKING DOWN THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE. HOWEVER...THE GFS...NAM...AND ECMWF...DISAGREE ON THE TIMING AND AMPLITUDE OF THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH THAT IS EXPECTED TO FOLLOW THE FRONT. STILL...IT IS CONCERNING ENOUGH TO WARRANT SLIGHT CHANCE POPS SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL BE SHORT LIVED HOWEVER AS A SECOND RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO BUILD OVER THE WESTERN U.S. BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE CENTER OF THE HIGH COULD BE NORTH OF THE PANHANDLE REGION AS EARLY AS MONDAY NIGHT. THE GFS AND ECMWF CONTINUE TO INDICATE CHANCES FOR PRECIP THROUGH THAT PERIOD. HOWEVER...HAVE KEPT THE FORECAST DRY FROM MONDAY ON BECAUSE THERE APPEARS TO BE NO FOCUS FOR CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT IN THE LOW LEVELS. THE ONE CAVEAT IS THAT WITH WEAK EASTERLY FLOW FROM THE SURFACE THROUGH THE UPPER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE...THE FLOW WILL BE UPSLOPE. HOWEVER...THIS PATTERN IS MORE INDICATIVE OF COOLER AND OVERCAST CONDITIONS...NOT FAVORABLE FOR CONVECTION. SJOHNSON FIRE WEATHER... CONTINUED CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION AND RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES NEAR OR ABOVE 20 PERCENT WILL KEEP FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS LOW TO MODERATE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. SJOHNSON && .AMA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... TX...NONE. OK...NONE. && 02/10
