SOME MSTR EWD...BETTER CHANCE FOR RAIN CERTAINLY E OF CWFA EARLY SAT
MORNING. HAVE MADE LITTLE CHANGE IN TEMPS TODAY BUT HAVE GENERALLY
SIDED TOWARD THE COOLER METMOS AS MID CLOUDS THICKEN INHIBITING
INSULATION. DWPNTS CREEP INTO 40S BY SAT AM THUS MORNING LOWS
TRENDING UP.
.LONG TERM...
A SECOND UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL DROP DOWN THROUGH COLORADO OVER THE
WEEKEND THEN DEEPEN OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS. COLDER AIR WILL FUNNEL
DOWN INTO THE PERMIAN BASIN LENDING TO CHILLY OVERNIGHT LOWS BY THE
FIRST PART OF THE WORK WEEK AS THE UPPER LOW AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE
LOW MOVE OFF TOWARDS THE GREAT LAKES REGION AND A SURFACE HIGH SETS
UP ROUGHLY OVER THE FOUR CORNERS REGION. NOT EXPECTING ANY TYPE OF
PRECIP FOR MOST LOCALES AS THIS FEATURE MOVES OUT OF THE REGION.
LAPSE RATES OVER SE NM AND THE GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS INCREASE SLIGHTLY
AS THE BASE OF THE TROUGH APPROACHES BY SUNDAY MORNING...SO STILL
CANT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR TWO IN THESE LOCALES...HOWEVER
WITH MOISTURE AND OVERALL INSTABILITY ABSENT...MOST OF THE FORECAST
AREA WILL SEE NOTHING BUT GUSTY WINDS AS THE TROUGH BASE MOVES
THROUGH.
THE BIGGEST CONCERN WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL BE THE WINDS IN THE
MOUNTAINS. GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SHOW THOSE WINDS INCREASING
SUBSTANTIALLY SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND INTO SUNDAY WITH A PEAK VALUE
OF 61 KTS ADVERTISED BY 0Z MET MOS. NAM-40 CROSS SECTION SHOWS
IMPRESSIVE MOUNTAIN WAVE SETTING UP FURTHER VALIDATING THIS
SOLUTION. GUIDANCE ALSO SHOWING INCREASED WINDS ACROSS THE DAVIS
MOUNTAINS...ALTHOUGH MODELS INDICATING AN INCREASE SATURDAY
AFTERNOON...THEN DYING DOWN OVERNIGHT AND PICKING BACK UP AND
SLIGHTLY INCREASED BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON. HAVE ISSUED HIGH WIND
WATCHES FOR THE GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS (SATURDAY AND INTO SUNDAY)...THE
DAVIS MOUNTAINS AND THE MARFA PLATEAU (SUNDAY). THOSE TRAVELING
THROUGH THESE AREAS NEED TO BE ESPECIALLY ALERT TO HIGH WINDS.
INCREASED WINDS WILL ALSO MAKE AN APPEARANCE ACROSS THE PERMIAN
BASIN ON SUNDAY. WHILE NOT EXPECTED TO REACH ADVISORY CRITERIA AT
THIS TIME...TRAVELERS SHOULD BE AWARE OF WINDY CONDITIONS.
ANOTHER UPPER LOW IS ADVERTISED TO DEVELOP OVER THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST AND MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER OF STATES BY LATE NEXT
WEEK/WEEKEND. THIS COULD RESULT IN A LONGWAVE TROUGH POSITIONED OUT
TO OUR WEST BY THAT TIME PERIOD. LONG RANGE GFS MODEL SHOWS THIS
FEATURE TRYING TO PULL SOME PACIFIC MOISTURE INTO OUR
AREA...HOWEVER...THE ATMOSPHERE HAS BEEN HARD-PRESSED TO GET ANY
MOISTURE IN...SO WILL NEED TO WAIT AND SEE HOW MODELS HANDLE THIS
SITUATION OVER THE NEXT WEEK.
