AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX
332 PM CDT TUE MAY 25 2010

.DISCUSSION...
STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ONCE AGAIN ARE THE MAIN FORECAST
CONCERNS DURING THE SHORT TERM.

DRYLINE HAS RETREATED TO CLOSE TO THE NEW MEXICO AND TEXAS STATE
LINE THIS AFTERNOON...WITH SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS ENCOMPASSING MOST OF
THE PANHANDLES. DEWPOINTS ARE IN THE LOWER 60S ACROSS THE CENTRAL
PANHANDLES AND UPPER 50S/NEAR 60 IN THE WESTERN ZONES. LATEST WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A MINOR DISTURBANCE EMBEDDED IN SW FLOW ALOFT
WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE CLOSER TO THE PANHANDLES THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING. CU FIELD ALL READY BEING OBSERVED ON VIS IMAGERY AND
EXPECT ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ANY FAIRLY
SOON...WITH INITIATION MOST LIKELY ACROSS THE WESTERN PANHANDLES
WHERE SOME CLEARING HAS BEEN OBSERVED. MLCAPES AROUND 2000 JOULES
COUPLED WITH SUFFICIENT SHEAR SHOULD SUPPORT STRONG/SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS JUST BEEN ISSUED FOR THE
CENTRAL AND WESTERN PANHANDLES AND WILL BE IN EFFECT UNTIL 03Z.
ANOTHER THREAT WHICH MAY DEVELOP IS HEAVY RAINFALL AS PWAT VALUES
WILL BE RUNNING AOA 1.00 INCH AND GIVEN THE RECENT HEAVY RAINFALLS
ACROSS THE WESTERN ZONES ON SUNDAY AND THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEASTERN
ZONES YESTERDAY. THIS COULD LEAD TO AREAS OF LOCALIZED FLOODING WITH
ADDITIONAL RAINFALL. SEVERE AND HEAVY RAINFALL WORDING WERE INCLUDED
IN THE GRIDS THIS AFTERNOON.

LINGERING POPS ON WEDNESDAY STILL SEEM REASONABLE AT THIS TIME GIVEN
SOUTHEASTERLY UPSLOPE FLOW AND PLENTIFUL MOISTURE STILL RESIDING
ACROSS THE PANHANDLES. SLIGHT END POPS WILL SUFFICE. UPPER LEVEL
RIDGING WILL SET UP OVER THE PANHANDLES THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY ACROSS
THE AREA...WITH WARMING TEMPERATURES INTO THE MIDDLE AND UPPER 80S.

UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL BEGIN TO BREAKDOWN HEADING INTO THE
WEEKEND...WITH AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH SETTING UP OUT WEST. NOT
CONFIDENT YET TO INCLUDE POPS DURING THE WEEKEND AS CAP MAY HOLD
STRONG AND UPPER SYSTEM MOVES TOO FAR NORTH OF THE PANHANDLES. THIS
WILL BEAR WATCHING OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.

NO FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ANTICIPATED THROUGH THE FORECAST.
