Area forecast discussion, Jun 28, 3:33 PM CST, 12 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Amarillo TX 433 PM CDT TUE JUN 28 2016 .Discussion... No big changes to the previous grids and forecast this forecast package. An upper ridge will continue to build east in over the Panhandles by Thursday and Friday. Isolated convection this afternoon mainly across the northern and eastern Panhandles should dissipate by late this evening with additional convection tracking southeast across the northern and eastern Panhandles again by Wednesday afternoon and evening. A frontal boundary stretching across southwest Kansas will remain quasi-stationary through Wednesday will push south into the forecast area during the latter half of the week and into the weekend. Chances for convection will increase by late this week and this weekend as the front pushes into the Panhandles. A few storms could become strong to marginally severe with strong and gusty winds along with locally heavy rainfall being the primary threats. && Schneider .Preliminary Point Temps/Pops...
