AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX
1215 PM CDT WED MAY 26 2010

.AVIATION...
A MOIST AND UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE COMBINED WITH SEVERAL BOUNDARIES WILL
HELP FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS AT THE
TAF SITES. SOME OF THE STORMS MAY BE SEVERE ACROSS THE PANHANDLES WITH
LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. LOW CLOUDS AND FOG ARE EXPECTED TO
RETURN TOWARD SUNRISE AT ALL TAF SITES. WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE FROM
THE EAST AND SOUTHEAST MOVING AROUND TO MORE SOUTHERLY BY SUNRISE.
HOWEVER...WINDS WILL BE INTERRUPTED AT TIMES AS OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES
MOVE THROUGH.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 655 AM CDT WED MAY 26 2010/

AVIATION...
1200 UTC TAFS...AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN EASTERN NM WERE
DISSIPATING AS THEY ENCOUNTER THE MORE STABLE AIR OVER THE TX
PANHANDLE. AREA OF STRATUS HAS AFFECTED THE TERMINALS OVERNIGHT WITH
CIGS BOUNCING BETWEEN IFR AND MVFR. EXPECT MVFR TO IFR CIGS THIS
MORNING WITH SFC DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S. SFC DRYLINE
IS FORECAST TO REMAIN OVER EASTERN NM AND WITH SOUTHEAST WINDS
ENHANCING A MOIST UPSLOPE SFC FLOW...STORMS CAN FIRE NEAR THE DRY
LINE THIS AFTERNOON. SINCE ITS RATHER TOUGH TO PINPOINT WHERE THESE
STORMS WILL...JUST HAVE CB REMARKS IN FOR ALL THREE SITES THROUGH
TONIGHT. STRATUS SHOULD FORM AGAIN OVERNIGHT AND HAVE INTRODUCED LOW
END MVFR CIGS AT THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 457 AM CDT WED MAY 26 2010/

DISCUSSION...
LATEST CROP OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS MOVG EWD OUT OF ERN NM IS FIZZLING
AS IT CROSSES THE STATE LINE INTO OUR FCST AREA...AND THIS TREND
SHOULD CONTINUE THIS MORNING. RESIDUAL BOUNDARIES FROM YESTERDAYS
TSTMS PLUS CLOSE PROXIMITY OF SFC DRYLINE ACTING ON AVAILABLE
MOISTURE AND SOME DAYTIME HEATING SHOULD RESULT IN CONTINUED THREAT
OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS TODAY AND THIS EVENING. RETAINED SLGT CHC POPS
ALL ZONES BUT SWITCHED TO AREAL QUALIFIERS AS THE DESCRIPTOR TERM.

UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD INTO THE REGION
FOR THURSDAY THRU THE EARLY PART OF THE WEEKEND BEFORE GETTING
SQUEEZED AND SHUNTED EWD LATE IN THE WEEKEND...WITH THE UPPER LEVEL
FLOW THEN PROGGED TO BECOME SOMEWHAT SEMIZONAL FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK.
SOME SORT OF SLOSHING DRYLINE SHOULD BE LURKING AROUND BUT DEPTH OF
MOISTURE PLUS THE STRENGTH OF ANY CAPPING INVERSION ARE TWO
SIGNIFICANT ELEMENTS THAT WILL DICTATE WHETHER OR NOT ANY TSTMS DVLP
OVER OUR FCST AREA LATER THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. SINCE
CONFIDENCE IS VERY LOW...BELIEVE IT WAS BEST TO KEEP POPS BELOW
MENTIONABLE FOR THIS PCKG AT THIS TIME BASED ON THE TWO AFOREMENTIONED
CONCERNS. HOWEVER...DID BRING A WEAK COLD FRONT INTO THE AREA LATE
SATURDAY NIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY...WITH SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPS SEEN FOR
SUNDAY.

OVERALL...PREVIOUS FCST PCKG WAS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE WITH MAINLY MINOR
ADJUSTMENTS DONE TO THE GRIDS.

ANDRADE

FIRE WEATHER...
NO MAJOR FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ARE ANTICIPATED THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK
DUE TO EXTENSIVE GREENUP...WET TO SATURATED SOILS...RECENT RAINS...AND
CONTINUED CHANCES FOR MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH TONIGHT.
