430 FXUS64 KAMA 130533 AFDAMA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Amarillo TX 1233 AM CDT Sat Jul 13 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Saturday night) Issued at 143 PM CDT Fri Jul 12 2024 A pretty quiet short term forecast. Current satellite shows a weak cu field along the southern Panhandles. An isolated storm may be possible this afternoon, but would be short lived if it occurs. Overall, high pressure slowly builds east from the Four Corners. A lee surface low will continue south to southwest flow at the surface and lower dewpoints. This will make the storms development harder, but not impossible. Highs will still be near 100 today and again tomorrow. Given that tomorrow will have nearly the same setup, the chances of precipitation tomorrow are about the same. Weber && .LONG TERM... (Sunday through next Thursday) Issued at 143 PM CDT Fri Jul 12 2024 The quiet weather continues as not much changes in the pattern on Sunday and Monday. Temperatures may move a degree or two in either direction, but overall, still hot and mostly dry. Tuesday onward is expected to have a pattern change. An upper level trough will approach the Panhandles and could bring showers/storms to the Panhandles Tuesday night into Wednesday. Additionally, we`ll start to see some return surface flow of higher dewpoints, and we could be looking at stalled out boundaries leading to further chances of showers and storms on Wednesday and Thursday. While NBM pops are higher on Wednesday, overall pattern looks to favor the best chances Tuesday night. Still, showers and storms would be possible Tuesday through Thursday, it`s just the setup looks best Tuesday evening at this time. Weber && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1228 AM CDT Sat Jul 13 2024 Main talking point tonight is from marginal LLWS at KGUY as a 40-50 kt LLJ sets up overhead. This should taper off through the morning hours. Otherwise breezy winds out of the south-southwest at 15-25 kts are expected at all sites, with VFR skies. Harrel && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
