Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Amarillo TX 154 PM CDT Tue Jul 21 2020 .SHORT TERM... Current radar and satellite analysis depicts a surface frontal boundary to the south and southeast of the Texas Panhandle. Behind the boundary temperatures have been slow to rise. From this mornings sounding convective temperatures are right around 90 degrees and forecasting 93 for this afternoon. As the FA warms up, areas along the I-40 corridor and a little south could see some pulse type storms. Shear is weak and CAPE is marginal at best, but a large inverted V forecast soundings suggest some microburst potential with these storms today. Only have about 20 to 30 PoP for the southern Texas Panhandle. Some storms may come into the northwest FA later this evening but many models suggest this stuff dying off quickly after leave New Mexico. For tomorrow, some pulse type storms will be possible again mainly in the southern Texas Panhandle. Have mainly slight chance PoPs for Wednesday afternoon. Again, winds will be the main concern with these storms. Daytime highs look to be in the 90s for much of the area once again under high pressure. Hoffeditz && .LONG TERM...Wednesday night through Monday night... An upper level ridge of high pressure is expected to become centered over Arkansas to Missouri. As the flow under this regime would be southwesterly or very light westerly aloft, the best chances for precipitation during the afternoon and evening areas will favor New Mexico and far western portions of the combined Panhandles. Given the lackluster environmental parameters for these storms, wherein updrafts will have a hard time being sustained except with other outflow boundaries, the expectation that these storms will move far into the combined Panhandles is low at best. Attention turns toward a potential tropical disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico on Saturday and Sunday as it makes landfall near the Houston area. Regardless of the status of this tropical disturbance, moisture will become more ample across the westerly flow on the southern periphery of the upper level ridge. Should enough moisture make it into west Texas, there may be a pattern in place that could support better chances of tropical showers and thunderstorms. At present, have opted to stay fairly close to NBM with minor adjustments in coordination with neighbors, especially if the disturbance tracks a little further north than presently progged. This moisture should be shunted into New Mexico by early next week, with some guidance cutting off the combined Panhandles totally (GFS) or remaining in favorably moist flow (ECMWF). Have opted to go with a blend of the two, with an eye towards adjusting as we get closer to the period in question. Bieda && .AVIATION...Previous Discussion...18Z TAFs... Winds will be light out of the north turning to the southeast in a couple of hours. Winds will then pick up to around 10 to 15 kts. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected in the southern Texas Panhandle this afternoon mainly between 18Z today and 00Z Wednesday. Confidence is low that thunder will impact KAMA. Therefore, only have VCTS in the TAF at this time. KDHT and KGUY are starting to look thunder free for this TAF period. Hoffeditz && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
