AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX 653 PM CDT WED JUN 1 2011 .AVIATION... FOR THE 00Z TAFS...GENERALLY VFR AND BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED. CURRENT TSRA COMPLEX NORTHWEST OF KDHT AND KGUY WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST AND SHOULD WEAKEN OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. ADDED TEMPO GROUP FOR GUSTY WINDS AT KDHT AND KGUY AS GUSTS MAY EXCEED 35 KTS. KEPT CONDITIONS VFR AT THESE SITES FOR NOW AS NOT SURE EITHER SITE WILL BE DIRECTLY AFFECTED. IF TSRA WERE TO DIRECTLY MOVE OVER THESE SITES...BRIEF MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS WOULD BE POSSIBLE. BELIEVE TSRA WILL END BY 04Z. REMOVED CB MENTION AT KAMA WITH VERY LOW CONFIDENCE THAT TSRA WILL AFFECT THIS SITE. NONCONVECTIVE LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR IS POSSIBLE AT ALL SITES 03-12Z WITH WINDS 500-2000 FT AGL 35-50 KTS...BUT DID NOT MENTION WITH LOW CONFIDENCE OF OCCURRENCE AS SURFACE WINDS MAY BE GUSTY. THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE THAT A FEW GUSTS MAY APPROACH 40 KTS AT KAMA AFTER 03Z. DID NOT ISSUE AN AIRPORT WEATHER WARNING AT THIS TIME DUE TO VERY LOW CONFIDENCE. MBS && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 344 PM CDT WED JUN 1 2011/ DISCUSSION... FORECAST CONCERNS WILL REVOLVE AROUND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. CURRENTLY...SURFACE TROUGH IS SITUATED ACROSS EASTERN NEW MEXICO AND EASTERN COLORADO THIS AFTERNOON. MOISTURE REMAINS IN PLACE ACROSS THE PANHANDLES WITH MID/UPPER 50 DEWPOINTS IN THE NORTHWEST TO LOWER 60 DEWPOINTS IN THE SOUTHEAST. TEMPERATURES GENERALLY ARE IN THE LOWER 90S IN MOST LOCATIONS AS OF DISCUSSION TIME. LATEST SPC MESOANALYSIS PAINTS MLCAPE VALUES OF ABOUT 2000 TO 3000 J/KG...WITH MLCINH LESS THAN 50 J/KG. EXPECT THIS INHIBITION TO ERODE COMPLETELY WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR OR SO. CONVECTION HAS ALL READY DEVELOPED ON THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF NEW MEXICO THIS AFTERNOON...AND SHOULD CONTINUE TO MOVE EASTWARD INTO THE PANHANDLES AS THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES. SHEAR WILL BE SUFFICIENT ENOUGH THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING TO SUPPORT ORGANIZED STORMS. THESE STORMS LIKELY WILL BECOME SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL UP TO GOLF BALLS AND DAMAGING WINDS BEING THE PRIMARY HAZARDS...WITH FAVORED LOCATIONS NORTHWEST AND NORTH OF THE HIGHWAY 60 CORRIDOR. TORNADO THREAT APPEARS TO BE FAIRLY LOW GIVEN LARGE TEMP AND DEWPOINT SPREADS. 4KM WRF AND HRRR HAS BEEN PRETTY INSISTENT ON THUNDERSTORMS MOVING INTO THE OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE AND NORTHERN PARTS OF THE TEXAS PANHANDLE THIS AFTERNOON. WILL CARRY CHANCE POPS UP IN THE NORTH TO NON MENTIONABLE POPS IN THE SOUTHEAST TEXAS PANHANDLE WHERE LIFT WILL BE WEAKEST. TEMPERATURES WILL BE ON THE MILD SIDE TONIGHT AS SOUTHERLY WINDS REMAIN ABOUT 20 MPH. OVERNIGHT LOWS SHOULD RANGE FROM THE LOWER 60S IN THE NORTHWEST TO UPPER 60S IN THE SOUTHEAST. SIDE CLOSER TO THE WARMER MET NUMBERS. LEE SIDE TROUGHING CONTINUES INTO THURSDAY...WITH SOUTH SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS INCREASING BETWEEN 20 AND 30 MPH IN THE AFTERNOON. MAV WINDS HAVE BEEN RUNNING WAY TOO HIGH HERE RECENTLY AND ARE SUGGESTING WIND ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS FOR TOMORROW. HOWEVER...LACK OF STRONG 700MB AND 500MB WINDS TO MIX INTO SHOULD PREVENT WINDS FROM GETTING TOO OUT OF CONTROL. ANOTHER WARM DAY IS IN STORE ON THURSDAY AS HIGH TEMPS ONCE AGAIN WILL BE IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 90S. WARMER MET NUMBERS WERE FAVORED HERE AS WELL. UPPER LEVEL PATTERN THROUGH THE WEEKEND WILL BE CHARACTERIZED BY UPPER TROUGH OUT WEST WITH UPPER RIDGING DOWNSTREAM. HELD ON TO THE LOW END THUNDERSTORM CHANCES FOR THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY NIGHT IN THE WESTERN ZONES AS THESE AREAS WILL BE ON WESTERN PERIPHERY OF UPPER RIDGE. BY SATURDAY...UPPER LEVEL RIDGING SHOULD BE FAR ENOUGH WEST TO KEEP CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS OVER NEW MEXICO. ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. FIRE WEATHER... ALTHOUGH SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE BETWEEN 20 AND 30 MPH ON THURSDAY...MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL BE BETWEEN 20 AND 30 PERCENT ACROSS THE PANHANDLES. ON FRIDAY...SIMILAR WIND SPEEDS CAN BE EXPECTED WITH MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES DIPPING SLIGHTLY BELOW 20 PERCENT ACROSS THE FAR WESTERN SECTIONS OF THE OKLAHOMA AND TEXAS PANHANDLES. HOWEVER...CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION TONIGHT AND THURSDAY NIGHT ACROSS THESE AREAS AND ITS EFFECTS ON FUELS WILL PRECLUDE MENTIONING ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS AT THIS TIME. && .AMA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
