AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
1113 AM CST THU MAR 9 2006

.UPDATE...
SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS OVER THE EDDY COUNTY PLAINS... HIGHWAY 54
CORRIDOR REGION OF CULBERSON COUNTY AS WELL AS THE UPPER TRANS
PECOS REGION ARE EITHER AT OR FORECAST TO BE ABOVE ADVISORY
CRITERIA SOON. WE HAVE ISSUED A WINDS ADVISORY FOR THE MENTIONED
REGIONS UNTIL 10/00Z. MINOR CHANGES WERE ALSO MADE TO THE DEW
POINTS AND WINDS BASED ON THE LATEST OBSERVATIONS. MAX
TEMPERATURES WERE ALSO LOWERED SLIGHTLY TODAY BASED ON THIS
MORNING/S COOL 850MB TEMPERATURES ON THE KMAF 12Z SOUNDING. NO
OTHER CHANGES TO THE FORECAST OR ONGOING WATCHES/WARNINGS AT THIS
TIME. UPDATED PRODUCTS OUT SOON.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 350 AM CST THU MAR 9 2006)

SHORT TERM...
WINDS AND FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS CONTINUE TO BE THE MAIN FORECAST
PROBLEMS TODAY.  COOLER AIR CONTINUES TO ADVECT EASTWARD INTO THE
REGION BEHIND A PACIFIC COLD FRONT THAT HAS MOVED EAST OF THE CWA
EARLY THIS MORNING.  PROGS INDICATE UPPER TROUGH TO BE OVERHEAD...
AND A GLANCE AT SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THIS TO BE SO.  WEST
WINDS HAVE SETTLED DOWN SINCE JUST BEHIND THE FRONT...BUT WERE STILL
GENERALLY IN THE 15 TO 25 KT RANGE...WITH A FEW GUSTS STILL AROUND
30 KT.  WINDS THROUGH GUADALUPE PASS HAVE DROPPED BELOW WARNING
CRITERIA...BUT WOULD EXPECT THIS SINCE THE UPPER TROUGH IS OVER THE
AREA.

WILL LET THE WIND ADVISORY FOR A GOOD DEAL OF THE AREA EXPIRE AT 400
AM CST AS DO NOT THINK WIND SPEEDS WILL INCREASE BACK TO THOSE
LEVELS THIS MORNING OR AFTERNOON.  THERE MAY BE A FEW LOCATIONS
ALONG THE EASTERN FRINGE OF THE CWA THAT COME CLOSE THIS MORNING...
PARTICULARLY AROUND 09/15Z...BUT TEMPERATURES LOOK COOL ENOUGH TO
NOT MIX H85 WINDS OF 40 TO 45 KT DOWN FULLY AT THAT TIME.
BESIDES...H85 WINDS DIMINISH TO THE 25 TO 30 KT RANGE BY 09/18Z
ACCORDING TO PROGS.  WINDS IN THE GUADALUPE AND DAVIS MOUNTAINS WILL
LIKELY BE A BIT DIFFERENT HOWEVER.  WE MAY NOT SEE WIND SPEEDS PICK
BACK UP IN GUADALUPE PASS UNTIL CLOSER TO 09/18Z SINCE H7 WINDS FROM
THE NORTHWEST ARE NOT THE BEST FOR FUNNELING THROUGH THE PASS...AND
WINDS VEER TO THE WEST BY 09/18Z.  SINCE RAWS OBSERVATIONS FOR THE
BOWL IN THE GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS ARE NOT AVAILABLE...NOR MOUNT LOCKE
WEATHER DATA...WILL NOT FOOL AROUND AND TRY TO NAIL THE ONSET OF
STRONGER WINDS IN BOTH AREAS.  SUFFICE IT TO SAY THAT H7 WINDS IN
PROGS ARE INDICATED TO BE PLENTY STRONG ENOUGH...THE HEIGHT GRADIENT
TIGHT ENOUGH...AND SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THE DEPARTING UPPER TROUGH
STRONG ENOUGH FOR HIGH WINDS TO BE A THREAT.  THEREFORE...WILL ISSUE
A HIGH WIND WARNING FOR BOTH AREAS UNTIL 10/00Z.

SOME COLDER AIR WAS SPILLING SOUTH INTO THE NORTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE
AT 09/09Z...BUT WITH LITTLE IN THE WAY OF SURFACE PRESSURE RISES TO
DRIVE IT SOUTH.  THINK THE GFS AND NAM LOOK GOOD WITH BOTH SHUNTING
THE COLDER AIR TO THE EAST DURING THE DAY.  WE STILL HAD A FRONTAL
PASSAGE THOUGH...SO EXPECT TO SEE MAX TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES
COOLER THAN YESTERDAY.  THIS AS H85 TEMPERATURES ARE PROGGED TO BE
COOLER AND THICKNESSES ABOUT THE SAME AS YESTERDAY.  HIGH CLOUDS
ALSO LOOK LIKE THEY WILL BE ON THE INCREASE OVER THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON AHEAD OF A CLUSTER OF SHORTWAVES IN THE EVENTUAL WESTERLY
FLOW WE/LL BE UNDER BY THIS AFTERNOON.  HAVE UNDERCUT MET/MAV MOS
GUIDANCE DUE TO THESE FACTORS...IN ADDITION TO MOS GUIDANCE BEING
TOO WARM FOR MOST LOCATIONS YESTERDAY.

IT APPEARS THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT TONIGHT WILL BE TIGHT
ENOUGH FOR MOST LOCATIONS TO RETAIN SOME WINDS.  THIS ALONG WITH
SOME CLOUD COVER WILL PROBABLY KEEP TEMPERATURES UP DESPITE THE DRY
AIR ENCOMPASSING THE AREA.  HAVE GENERALLY FOLLOWED THE MET MOS
OFFERINGS WHICH SEEM TO DO BETTER...AT LEAST IN THIS NECK OF THE
WOODS...UNDER SUCH CONDITIONS.  UPPER FLOW WILL REMAIN WESTERLY AND
H7 WINDS FAIRLY STRONG TONIGHT.  HOWEVER...NOT QUITE SURE WHETHER
THESE STRONGER WINDS WILL MIX DOWN FULLY IN THE GUADALUPE AND DAVIS
MOUNTAINS.  THEREFORE...WILL ISSUE A HIGH WIND WATCH TONIGHT FOR
THESE LOCATIONS.

LONG TERM...
LARGE AND BROAD CYCLONIC FLOW WILL DOMINATE THE WESTERN HALF OF THE
REGION FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. PIECES OF ENERGY WILL ROTATE OUT
OF IT AND PASS NORTH AND WEST OF THE FORECAST AREA. STOUT WIND
FIELDS ESPECIALLY ALOFT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. HAVE
EXTENDED THE HIGH WIND WATCH FOR THE GUADALUPE AND DAVIS MOUNTAINS
FOR FRIDAY IN THIS REGIME. WILL CONTINUE THE DRY FORECAST
THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS VERY BROAD POSITIVELY TILTED NATURE TO
SYSTEM WILL KEEP THE AIRMASS DRY TO VERY DRY.

BY MONDAY THE UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM WILL PULL OUT OF THE ROCKIES
ONTO THE PLAINS AND DRAG A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE REGION. THIS LOOKS
REASONABLE AS THE COOLER AIR SHOULD BE ABLE TO MOVE SOUTH
BANKED UP AGAINST THE FOOTHILLS OF THE ROCKIES. TEMPERATURES WILL
ACTUALLY BE BELOW NORMAL MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH VERY DRY AIR IN
PLACE. KEPT NEXT WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY DRY WITH ZONAL TO SLIGHT
UPPER RIDGING TAKING PLACE.

FOR THE MOST PART WENT WITH THE MUCH LOWER GFS40 DEWPOINTS AS
THEY HAVE BEEN VERIFYING BEST IN DRY WINDY REGIME. KEPT FORECAST
DRY THROUGH THE CYCLE.

FIRE WEATHER...
ALTHOUGH SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL PREVAIL OVER THE FORECAST
AREA TODAY...FAIRLY DRY AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA TOO.  THIS WILL
ALLOW MINIMUM RH/S TO DROP TO THE 10 TO 15 PERCENT RANGE IN MOST
LOCATIONS.  SINCE 20 FOOT WIND SPEEDS WILL BE NEAR OR ABOVE 20 MPH
SUSTAIN FOR SEVERAL HOURS THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON...WILL ISSUE A
RED FLAG WARNING TODAY FOR ALL BUT THE PRESIDIO VALLEY AND BIG BEND
REGION WHERE EXPECT WIND SPEEDS TO BE LESS.  WILL BEGIN THE WARNING
AT 09/14Z SINCE RH/S COULD DROP OFF PRETTY QUICKLY WHEN WINDS START
TO PICK UP AGAIN BY THEN.  WILL RUN THE RFW UNTIL 10/00Z AS WIND
SPEEDS SHOULD BE DIMINISHING IN MOST LOCATIONS...OR RH/S INCREASE TO
ABOVE 15 PERCENT.  ALTHOUGH STRONG WINDS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE IN THE
GUADALUPE AND DAVIS MOUNTAINS TONIGHT...RH/S DO NOT LOOK TO BE LOW
ENOUGH TO KEEP A RED FLAG WARNING GOING THESE AREAS.

ISSUED A FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR THE ENTIRE AREA FRIDAY PER
IMPRESSIVE WIND FIELDS AND GOOD MIXING FORECASTED AHEAD OF THE
NEXT LARGE WESTERN LOW. THERE WILL BE SOME CLOUDS AROUND BUT DO NOT
LOOK LIKE THEY WILL BE THICK ENOUGH TO INHIBIT TEMPERATURES OR
MIXING TO A SIGNIFICANT DEGREE. MUCH LOWER GFS40 DEWPOINTS LOOKED
BEST AND SHOULD ALLOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES TO DROP TO 15
