AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX 1043 PM CDT THU JUN 25 2015 .AVIATION... SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE SOUTH WITH A COLD FRONT OVERNIGHT. THINK THE BEST CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE AT THE DHT AND GUY TAF SITES...SO HAVE ENTERED A TEMPO GROUP THERE. HAVE LEFT THUNDERSTORMS OUT OF AMA SINCE THE COVERAGE IS EXPECTED TO BE MORE ISOLATED THERE. NORTHEAST WINDS WILL GUST UP INTO THE 20 TO 25 KNOT RANGE BEHIND THE FRONT FOR MUCH OF THE DAY ON FRIDAY. MORE THUNDERSTORMS MAY DEVELOP NEAR THE AMA TAF SITE AFTER 18Z ON FRIDAY...BUT HAVE NOT ENTERED ANY INTO THIS FORECAST AS CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH AT THIS POINT. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 639 PM CDT THU JUN 25 2015/ AVIATION... 00Z ISSUANCE...VFR CONDITIONS CURRENTLY AT ALL SITES. STORMS IN THE NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE WILL REACH THE VICINITY OF KGUY AROUND 0030Z AND STORMS IN NEW MEXICO WILL REACH KDHT AROUND 01Z. THESE STORMS ARE MOVING IN AHEAD OF THE FRONT THAT WILL MOVE THROUGH ALL THREE TAF SITES. KDHT WILL SEE THE WINDS COME OUT OF THE NORTH AROUND 12Z...FOLLOWED BY KGUY AT 14Z AND KAMA AT 16Z DUE TO THE FRONTAL PASSAGE.
