Regarding Christmas storm, Oklahoma Panhandle, from the National Weather Service, Amarillo, Texas Forecast Office
Source: National Weather Service, Amarillo, Texas Forecast Office (coverage includes the Oklahoma Panhandle)
REGARDING THE CHRISTMAS STORM SYSTEM…NEWEST MODEL DATA IS
SUGGESTING A NARROW BUT INTENSE BAND OF FRONTOGENESIS MOVING
SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO CHRISTMAS
MORNING. AS A RESULT…THE THREAT OF HEAVIER SNOW TOTALS WILL LIKELY
NEED TO BE ADJUSTED WESTWARD IN THE AFTERNOON PACKAGE.
ADDITIONALLY…THE LOWER-LEVEL FORCING MAY BECOME COUPLED WITH THE
UPPER-LEVEL FORCING…WHICH MAY FURTHER ACT TO ENHANCE SNOWFALL
TOTALS ACROSS THE AREA. IF THIS OCCURS…IT WOULDN/T BE OUT OF THE
QUESTION THAT SOME LOCATIONS COULD SEE SNOWFALL TOTALS IN EXCESS OF
6 INCHES. HOWEVER…CONFIDENCE IN THIS SCENARIO IS NOT VERY HIGH AT
THIS TIME…BUT WE/LL HAVE TO WATCH THIS CLOSELY. CONFIDENCE HAS
INCREASED ENOUGH THAT A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE ISSUED
THIS AFTERNOON FOR MOST OF THE PANHANDLES.
