Meteorologist ClicheVortex2014 Posted May 19, 2023 Meteorologist Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) Impressive rain event. 4.5” at a mesonet 19 miles NNW of Amarillo. Widespread 1-2” across the central Texas Panhandle. Almost 1.5" in Amarillo which now puts us above the year-to-date average, but almost all of that came in the past month and a half. Still have a long way to go to erase the drought. Edited May 19, 2023 by ClicheVortex2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceresistance Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 .8 from a double Squall line earlier this morning. I am more worried about next week, Supercell signal for several days on the ensembles. Looks like another sequence is going to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteorologist Ingyball Posted May 19, 2023 Meteorologist Share Posted May 19, 2023 Gonna end up with about 0.50" plus or minus 0.05". Not the 2" I was hoping for, but a slow steady rain that's lasted all day, which is arguably better than 2 inches in a couple of hours. Ground will be able to soak up this rain much more than what we got on Sunday. Currently 52 degrees outside. Feels more like early March or November.

junior Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 All I need is a good soaking thunderstorm rain. Doesn't look to be in my favor but perhaps a moderate soak would suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a High Plains pattern. All comes down to timing of individual shortwaves. Edited May 20, 2023 by ClicheVortex2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWOhioChaser Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) .61” overnight. The biggest rain event in like 2 weeks here. Things are drying up here. Complete reversal from a few months ago.

I think the Panhandle will get some severe storms with kind of high LCLs. Possibly good hodograph/shear up to about 6km above ground. Above that, there will be weaker wind speeds.

ElectricStorm Posted May 22, 2023 Author Share Posted May 22, 2023 Looks like there could be a western trough around next weekend but that east coast low is probably going to severely restrict severe potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly good hodograph/shear up to about 6km above ground. Above that, there will be weaker wind speeds. Despite weak winds aloft, 0-6km shear is looking solidly around 25-35 kts all week thanks to strong to very strong directional shear. But questions about the impacts of previous days storms will linger all week. The question today is where the MCV in SW KS ends up in the afternoon when thunderstorms develop south of it. Latest HRRR has some semi-discrete cells that probably would be supercellular in the northeast TX Panhandle. Could be a few hour window in the late afternoon/early evening where there is a bit of a tornado threat with the nocturnal LLJ kicking in IF a supercell exists. Tomorrow is looking more like a MCS across the TX Panhandle, but not sure about how much we'll destabilize in the south and east. Overall, looks to be a good week to be in the OK/TX Panhandles if you want severe weather. I'm sure the chasers are already here. Might not have left after last week actually.

Meteorologist ClicheVortex2014 Posted May 22, 2023 Meteorologist Share Posted May 22, 2023 Last HRRR run before I go to bed and when I wake up the event will be going/starting. Looks like it's trying to create a splitting supercell just south of Amarillo. Sounding an hour prior to the split. Would be interesting, that's for sure. Especially if it turns right and heads into Lubbock's area. 35 kts effective shear but a right mover would only move at around 10 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
