197 FXUS64 KAMA 021135 AFDAMA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Amarillo TX 535 AM CST Sun Nov 2 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 1227 AM CDT Sun Nov 2 2025 - Dry conditions and above average temperatures are expected each day over the next week. && .SHORT TERM... (Today through Monday night) Issued at 1227 AM CDT Sun Nov 2 2025 H500 troughing will slowly move away from the CWA today into Monday as high pressure builds in over Texas. As the high builds in today, temperatures should rise back up into the 70s for highs this afternoon with light south to southwest winds. As the upper level high becomes suppressed on Monday, a weak cold front will move down and is expected to stall around halfway through the Panhandles. Cooler temperatures across the north are expected with well above average highs across the south. The front will mix out by the afternoon with light southerly winds returning for the entire area. Muscha && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday through Saturday) Issued at 1227 AM CDT Sun Nov 2 2025 Tuesday appears to be the hottest day of the next seven as H850 temperatures warm up above 20 Celsius by the afternoon hours. This will lead to highs reaching the upper 70s to mid 80s for the Panhandles. Highs will warm up and cool down every other day as the upper level pattern favors bringing weak cold fronts across the southern High Plains. Even though cooler air will move in, temperatures will remain above average. Broad scale troughing is currently expected to develop across the central/eastern CONUS by late week into next weekend which would lead to northwest flow over the Panhandles. This pattern would favor keeping highs in the 60s and 70s rather than the 70s and 80s. Dry conditions are expected to persist through next weekend. Muscha && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 533 AM CST Sun Nov 2 2025 VFR conditions should persist over the next 24 hours. Winds will mainly be out of the south to southwest around 10-15 kts or less, although a few higher gusts could occur at KAMA this morning - afternoon. Harrel && .AMA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
