AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LUBBOCK TX
335 AM CST SUN JAN 1 2006

.SHORT TERM...
A VIGOROUS SHTWV OUT AHEAD OF 130+ KT 250 MB JET OVER THE DESERT SW
IS CURRENTLY MOVING QUICKLY EASTWARD THIS MORNING ACROSS THE
4-CORNERS REGION...PERHAPS SLIGHTLY FASTER THAN INDICATED BY 0Z
GUIDANCE. WINDS ON THE TUCUMCARI PROFILER AT 2 AM ARE ALREADY AOA
50 KTS THRU ALL BUT THE LOWEST GATE AND SFC WINDS ACROSS THE SW
PANHANDLE/NW SPLNS HAVE BEEN GUSTING UP TO 45 MPH PER OBS FROM THE
WEST TEXAS MESONET. NAM AND GFS GUIDANCE ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT
TRACKING THIS SHTWV OUT ACROSS SRN CO/SRN KS AND THE PANHANDLES
TODAY. ATTENDANT SFC LOW CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER THE NE TX
PANHANDLE WILL DEEPEN AND MOVE NORTHEAST INTO EASTERN KS BY EARLY
EVE. ALTHOUGH 0Z MOS GUIDANCE FOR LBB AND CDS IS MARGINAL
REGARDING WIND SPEEDS REACHING WARNING CRITERIA...LOCAL WIND
GUIDANCE WITH THIS SYSTEM SHOWS THAT CONDITIONS WILL BE VERY
FAVORABLE FOR A HIGH WIND EVENT ACROSS MOST OF THE CWA TODAY. THE
FCST NORTH-SOUTH 700 MB GRADIENT IN PARTICULAR WILL BE VERY
STRONG. THUS HAVE DECIDED TO UPGRADE THE HIGH WIND WATCH TO A HIGH
WIND WARNING FOR ALL BUT THE SOUTHERN-MOST ROW OF COUNTIES. GIVEN
THE PROGGED TRACK OF THE H8-H7 WIND MAX ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND
NORTHERN COUNTIES...AND THE SLIGHTLY WEAKER HEIGHT GRADIENT FURTHER
SOUTH...WILL OPT TO CONTINUE THE WIND ADVISORY FOR THE SOUTHERN
ROW OF COUNTIES. PATCHY BLOWING DUST IS ALSO EXPECTED UP ON THE CAPROCK
BY LATE MORNING.

ALSO EXPECTING ANOTHER VERY WARM DAY...WITH THE BULK OF THE CAA
CONFINED TO LOCALS FARTHER NORTH. PLENTY OF MID-HIGH LVL MOISTURE
STREAMING OUT AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING PARTLY-MOSTLY CLOUDY
SKIES THROUGHOUT THE MORNING...HOWEVER...PRONOUNCED DRY SLOT WILL
BEGIN TO SPREAD OVER THE AREA BY MID-DAY...AND WE CAN EXPECT
CLEARING SKIES FROM W-E. HAVE STAYED CLOSE TO GUIDANCE FOR AFTN
HIGHS...WHICH WILL ONCE AGAIN BRING US CLOSE TO RECORD VALUES.

AS THE SHTWV QUICKLY MOVES TO THE E-NE...EXPECT THE WIND TO BEGIN TO
DIE DOWN LATE IN THE LATE AFTERNOON FROM WEST TO EAST. TEMPS WILL BE
COOLER TONIGHT ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NW AS WE LOSE THE MAJORITY OF
THE DOWNSLOPE COMPONENT AND SLIGHTLY COOLER...DRIER AIR ADVECTS IN FROM
THE NW.

.LONG TERM...
WITH MAJORITY OF CONCERN IN THE SHORT TERM...ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS
WERE REQUIRED TO THE LONG TERM GRIDS/FORECAST.

MID/UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL TRANSLATE EAST OVER THE ROCKIES ON
MONDAY AS THE POTENT UPPER LOW PROPAGATES EAST OVER THE MID
MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL VEER/BECOME SOUTHERLY
ON TUESDAY AS THE NEXT SHORTWAVE TROUGH AMPLIFIES OVER THE SOUTHERN
ROCKIES. THIS WILL AGAIN RESULT IN BREEZY/DRY CONDITIONS AS SURFACE
CYCLOGENESIS OCCURS OVER KANSAS. WITH GOOD DOWNSLOPING FLOW...
EXPECT AN UNSEASONABLY WARM DAY WITH MAXIMA 20 TO 25 DEGREES ABOVE
SEASONAL AVERAGES. A COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH LATE TUESDAY/EARLY
WEDNESDAY IN THE WAKE OF THE PASSING TROUGH AXIS...AND WILL PROVIDE
FOR THE ONSET OF SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES. THE PATTERN WILL
AMPLIFY FROM MID WEEK THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD WITH INCREASED
RIDGING OVER THE WESTERN U.S. AND A LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN
PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. THIS WILL PROMOTE OCCASIONAL REINFORCING SHOTS
OF COOL/DRY SURFACE RIDGING FROM THE GREAT BASIN REGION.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
DESPITE SLIGHTLY MORE MOIST AIR ADVECTING INTO THE CWA THIS MORNING
FROM NEW MEXICO...ONCE THE DRY SLOT AND DOWNGLIDE ON THE SOUTH SIDE
OF THE STORM SYSTEM MOVES OVER THE REGION THIS AFTN...WE EXPECT DEW
POINT TEMPS AND RHS TO AGAIN DROP TO THE 10-15 PERCENT RANGE. 20 FT
WIND SPEEDS THAT ARE FCST TO BE WELL ABOVE RED FLAG CRITERIA.
THIS...COUPLED WITH THE CRITICAL FIRE DANGER ACROSS THE AREA DUE IN
PART TO THE ONGOING DROUGHT...HAVE LED US TO UPGRADE THE FIRE
WEATHER WATCH TO A RED FLAG WARNING FOR THE ENTIRE CWA THIS AFTN.

USERS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THIS EVENT HAS POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE
FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR EXPLOSIVE FIRE GROWTH /INCLUDING HIGH
HAINES INDICES/ OVER A LARGE AREA OF TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA WHERE
NUMEROUS WILDFIRES HAVE OCCURRED IN RECENT DAYS. GIVEN HIGH
OUTDOOR INTEREST/S THROUGH THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND...STATE OFFICIALS
ARE URGING EXTREME CAUTION...AND HAVE REQUESTED THE ISSUANCE OF
SPECIAL MESSAGES AND CALL TO ACTION STATEMENTS TO HEIGHTEN PUBLIC
AWARENESS. SPC HAS INCLUDED THE FA IN AN EXTREMELY CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER AREA FOR TODAY CITING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION.
WE CONCUR AND WILL ISSUE A PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT /PNSLUB/
AND WILL INCLUDE ENHANCED CALL TO ACTION STATEMENTS AS REQUESTED
BY THE STATE IN ALL HEADLINING TEXT PRODUCTS AND THE HAZARDOUS
WEATHER OUTLOOK.
