.SHORT TERM...
ATMOSPHERE ACRS CWFA SWD FROM KMAF CONTINUES TO DESTABILIZE IN
ADVANCE OF COLD FRONT INVOF KMAF. LOW LEVEL MSTR REMAINS IMPRESSIVE
S OF BOUNDARY WITH PECOS 95/61 AND FST 89/66. AS SUCH SB INSTABILITY
MOST IMPRESSIVE WITH 17Z MSAS LI/S TO MINUS 10 ACRS CENTRAL PB.
HOWEVER MODIFIED 12Z KMAF SOUNDING FOR CURRENT KMAF CONDITIONS
REFLECTS LARGE NEGATIVE AREA WITH ABOUT A 2C CAP. JUST A LITTLE
FARTHER SW CAP IS MUCH WEAKER AND FAVOR THE AREA INVOF THE PECOS
RIVER BETWEEN ORLA AND SHEFFIELD FOR CONVECTION TO DEVELOP NEXT FEW
HOURS. FRONT WILL MOVE NEAR THIS AREA BUT WILL PROBABLY STALL JUST N
OF PECOS RIVER AS CENTER OF ISALLOBARIC HIGH DROPS S INTO THE CONCHO
VALLEY. STORMS HAVE ALREADY DEVELOP IN THE DAVIS MOUNTAINS AN EXPECT
THEY WILL CONTINUE TO PROSPER COURTESY MST UPSLOPE FLOW AND NEAR 8
C/KM 7H-5H LR/S.  DOWNBURST AND HEAVY RAIN FAVORED IN WHAT LOOKS TO
BE WEAKLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT. NAM40 SOUNDING ACRS DAVIS MTNS
REFLECT POTENTIAL FOR DOWNBURST WINDS WITH SOUNDING INDICATIVE OF
HYBRID DOWNBURST PROFILE. NONETHELESS WITH BOUNDARY INFLUENCES AND
CAPES OVER 3000 J/KG CAN/T RULE OUT ISOLD ORGANIZED UPDRAFTS.
STEERING FLOW ACRS THE TRANS PECOS IS ANEMIC INCREASING HEAVY RAIN
CONCERNS. LOW TEMPS IN GENERAL WILL CONTINUE TO BE ON THE WARM
SIDE...HOWEVER RAIN COOLED AIR WILL MAKE FOR DIFFICULT TEMP FCST.

.LONG TERM...
UPPER RIDGE BEGINNING TO BUILD OVER THE AREA...HOWEVER IT IS NOT
QUITE STRONG ENOUGH TO SQUELCH CONVECTION AS EVIDENCED IN THE DAVIS
MOUNTAINS THIS AFTERNOON.  LOOKING FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF EAST/
SOUTHEAST UPSLOPE FLOW AS UPPER RIDGE BECOMES MORE ESTABLISHED OVER
THE AREA.

CURRENT CROP OF MODEL DATA INDICATES THE UPPER RIDGE STRENGTHENING
IN EARNEST FROM FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND.  SINCE WE/LL HAVE THE
AFOREMENTIONED UPSLOPE FLOW ON WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...
AFTERNOON AND EVENING CONVECTION WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG THE HIGHER
TERRAIN AS ABUNDANT MOISTURE...HEATING...AND PERIODIC WEAK
SHORTWAVES MILLING ABOUT UNDER EXPANDING RIDGE WILL ALLOW THIS.
SHEAR WILL BE PALTRY DUE TO PRESENCE OF RIDGE...SO ONLY ISOLATED
SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE.  ON FRIDAY AND THROUGH THE
WEEKEND...MID LEVEL TEMPS WARM MARKEDLY AS RIDGE CONTINUES TO
EXPAND/STRENGTHEN.  THIS SHOULD EFFECTIVELY SHUT DOWN AFTERNOON/
EVENING TSRA IN THE MOUNTAINS THROUGH THE WEEKEND.  THERE IS SOME
INDICATION THAT ANOTHER CONVECTIVELY DRIVEN BOUNDARY WILL GRAZE THE
NORTHEASTERN ZONES...AND POSSIBLY SKIRT THE EXTREME EASTERN CWA DOWN
TO THE LOWER TRANS PECOS.  BUT SINCE THIS IS HIGHLY SPECULATIVE...
WILL GO WITH THE UPPER RIDGE DOMINATING AND LEAVE POPS OUT AFTER
THURSDAY.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE ON THE RISE...ESPECIALLY THURSDAY AND ONWARD AS
SOME DRIER AIR OVER THE WESTERN CWA AND POINTS FURTHER WEST MIXES
DOWN EACH AFTERNOON.  DO NOT EXPECT TO SEE A VERY SHARP DRYLINE
THROUGH THIS PERIOD...BUT THE DRIER AIR WILL PROBABLY ALLOW FOR MAX
TEMPS CLOSER TO THE GFS OUTPUT...WHICH HAVE BEEN TOO HOT OF LATE.
THEREFORE...HAVE TRENDED MAXES TOWARD THE HIGH SIDE...ESPECIALLY
THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.

LATE IN THE WEEKEND...IF NOT EARLY NEXT WEEK MODELS INDICATING EAST
COAST UPPER TROUGH DIGGING SOUTHWESTWARD BEFORE CUTTING OFF AN UPPER
LOW OVER THE GULF COAST STATES.  MEDIUM RANGE MODELS HAVE BEEN
TAKING TURNS DEPICTING THIS...BUT ARE FAR TOO INCONSISTENT TO REALLY
PUT MUCH STOCK INTO THEM.  SINCE PREVIOUS SHIFT HAD THIS COVERED...
WILL LEAVE THE GRIDS PRETTY MUCH AS THEY ARE.  SOME LOCATIONS ALONG
THE RIO GRANDE HAVE BEEN FLIRTING WITH HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA/MINS
OF 75 OR GREATER...AND AFTERNOON HEAT INDICES OF 105 OR GREATER/OVER
THE LAST DAY OR SO.  WILL HOLD OFF ON ISSUING ANYTHING AT THIS
TIME...AS CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON/TONIGHT COULD COOL SOME OF THESE
LOCALES DOWN ENOUGH TO PREVENT REACHING CRITERIA.  HOWEVER...COME
THURSDAY AND THROUGH THE WEEKEND...SOME LOCATIONS ALONG THE RIO
GRANDE...IF NOT OVER THE UPPER TRANS PECOS...MAY NEED SUCH AN
ADVISORY.
