AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AMARILLO TX
500 AM CST FRI MAR 25 2005
.DISCUSSION...
UPPER LOW SYSTEM OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST IS STILL ON TRACK TO MOVE
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS ON SATURDAY. IN ADVANCE OF THIS
SYSTEM...A SURFACE LOW WAS DEVELOPING NEAR THE FOUR CORNERS AREA
WHILE COOL CANADIAN AIR WAS SETTLING OVER THE PANHANDLES. LARGE SCALE
ASCENT AND UPSLOPE FLOW WILL RESULT IN INCREASING MOISTURE TODAY.
CONSIDERABLE CLOUDS WILL HINDER INSOLATION...SO HIGH TEMPERATURES
WERE DECREASED...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE SOUTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE.
UPPER LEVEL FORCING BLOSSOMS LATE TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY ONCE THE
UPPER LOW NEARS THE FOUR CORNERS AREA. EXPECT SNOWFALL TO INCREASE
ACROSS MUCH OF THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL SECTIONS OF THE PANHANDLES.
MODERATE TO OCCASIONALLY HEAVY SNOWFALL WILL EXTEND INTO SATURDAY
EVENING...THEN TAPERING OFF FROM WEST TO EAST AFTER MIDNIGHT. WHILE
THE NAM AND GFS ARE TRYING TO SPEED UP THE EXITING SYSTEM...
CONSIDERED THE UKMET TIMING BASED ON ITS RECENT PERFORMANCE. AS A
RESULT...THE 12-HOUR POP FOR SATURDAY NIGHT IS NOT TOO DIFFERENT
FROM WHAT WE INHERITED FROM PREVIOUS SHIFTS...BUT MUCH HIGHER THAN
NEIGHBORING OFFICES ESPECIALLY NORTH AND WEST. WINTER STORM WATCH
HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR MUCH OF THE WESTERN AND CENTRAL SECTIONS.
BASED ON ANTICIPATED SNOWFALL...KEPT SUNDAY'S HIGH TEMPERATURES AS
