NWS Lubbock, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 22, 2:31 PM CST, 2 hours 34 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lubbock TX 331 PM CDT Sat Jul 22 2017 .DISCUSSION... Weakly forced convection currently surrounds our CWA with only Hall and Childress County seeing scattered activity at the moment. Weak and divergent surface flow on the Caprock has held off showers and storms from developing thus far. Best convection is currently over Amarillo where the slow moving/sloshing surface boundary nudges south between now and overnight. NAM shows increased surface pressure falls across southeast New Mexico through the evening hours into the overnight which helps draw the weak boundary and any associated outflow activity farther south into our area. More scattered chances for showers and storms lingering into the early morning hours and then reinitiating tomorrow afternoon in the vicinity of the secondary front that arrives across the southern Texas Panhandle and northern South and Rolling Plains late tomorrow afternoon into the evening hours. PWATS continue to be in the 1.5" range throughout the day so it won't take much forcing to see some more scattered showers and storms across the region, similar to today. Chances for convection continue into Monday though the trend has been drier. The NAM holds onto the moist upslope possibility but lacks the dryline type convergence it showed yesterday. By Tuesday, ridging aloft and surface high pressure expanding across the area will begin to dry out, though there continues to be some signals for storms in the higher terrain across the extreme southwest Texas Panhandle, which is not unusual for this time of year. Temps on the Caprock will be seasonably warm or even slightly on the cool side depending how much cloud cover is provided by storms. Hotter further east off the Caprock in the Rolling Plains with high steadily in the upper 90's or just over 100. && .LUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && 55
