AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
408 AM CDT WED APR 5 2006

.SHORT TERM...
SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE CONTINUES TO STREAM ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
WITHIN THE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT BETWEEN A VIGOROUS UPPER LOW
OVER WESTERN CALIFORNIA AND AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE LOCATED OVER
CENTRAL MEXICO. THE UPPER LOW IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT EAST TOWARD
ID/NV/UT LATER TODAY...WITH SOUTHWESTERLY UPPER FLOW CONTINUING TO
INCREASE ACROSS WEST TEXAS AND SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO IN ADVANCE OF
THIS FEATURE. SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SHOULD DEEPEN ACROSS EASTERN
CO/WESTERN KS IN RESPONSE TO THE FALLING HEIGHTS. THE SURFACE TROUGH
AXIS SHOULD EXTEND SOUTHWARD INTO THE FORECAST AREA...WITH BOTH THE
GFS AND NAM INDICATING STRONG LOW LEVEL THERMAL RIDGING ALONG THE
TROUGH AXIS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN
VERY WARM SURFACE TEMPERATURES...WITH SEVERAL LOCATIONS EXPECTED TO
REACH OR EXCEED 90 DEGREES (EVEN A FEW LOCATIONS ON THE RIO GRANDE
MAY EXCEED 100). THE RECORD HIGH FOR MAF TODAY IS 92 SET IN 1959.

THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN NEW
MEXICO SOUTHWARD INTO THE VAN HORN/MARFA PLATEAU REGION THIS
AFTERNOON...WITH GUSTY SOUTHWEST TO WESTERLY WINDS ANTICIPATED
DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON. A TIGHTENING MID LEVEL GRADIENT OVER THE
GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS WILL LIKELY RESULT IN HIGH WINDS THIS AFTERNOON
THROUGH TONIGHT...SO HAVE UPGRADED THE PREVIOUS WATCH TO A HIGH WIND
WARNING THERE. A FEW LOCATIONS ACROSS THE IMMEDIATE ADJACENT
PLAINS...FROM ARTESIA SOUTHWARD TO CARLSBAD MAY SEE WINDS FLIRT WITH
WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA...BUT HAVE OPTED TO OMIT ADVISORY THERE FOR
THIS AFTERNOON WITH THIS ISSUANCE. DAY SHIFT WILL NEED TO MONITOR.
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ARE ALSO EXPECTED IN THESE LOCATIONS THIS
AFTERNOON...SEE THE FIRE WEATHER DISCUSSION BELOW FOR ADDITIONAL
DETAILS.

ANOTHER CONCERN LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING WILL BE THE
POSSIBILITY OF ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS EAST OF THE SURFACE
TROUGH/DRYLINE...ACROSS THE PERMIAN BASIN AND LOWER TRANS PECOS. LOW
LEVEL CONVERGENCE AND INSTABILITY MAY ALSO COMBINE WITH INCREASING
MID LEVEL LIFT BY A PASSING SHORTWAVE ALOFT TO INITIATE A FEW STORMS
IN THESE AREAS. WILL KEEP 10-20 PERCENT CHANCE OF STORMS GOING IN
THE GRIDS IN THESE LOCATIONS LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THE
EVENING. BREEZY/WINDY CONDITIONS OUT WEST WILL LIKELY CONTINUE
THROUGH THE NIGHT AS THE SURFACE GRADIENT REMAINS TIGHT. WE WILL
KEEP THE HIGH WIND WARNING GOING THROUGH THE NIGHT IN THE GUADALUPES
AS INCREASING SUBSIDENCE MAY FORCE STRONGER MID LEVEL WINDS DOWN
INTO THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS.

.LONG TERM...
BY THURSDAY A VIGOROUS UPPER TROUGH WILL SPIN EASTWARD OVER THE
ROCKY MOUNTAINS. A STRONG SHORTWAVE WILL ROTATE THROUGH THE BASE
OF THE TROUGH AND ACROSS THE PANHANDLE/SOUTH PLAINS. NOT EXPECTING
MUCH IN THE WAY OF PRECIP OUT OF THIS SYSTEM... BUT IT SHOULD BE A
GREAT WIND PRODUCER.

ETA SHOWS A VERY STRONG SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DEVELOPING OVER
NEBRASKA IN RESPONSE TO THE APPROACHING UPPER TROUGH.  THIS SURFACE
LOW WILL HAVE A TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTHWARD INTO MEXICO.  AS THIS
TROUGH/PACIFIC FRONT MOVES EAST IT WILL BRING STRONG WEST WIND AND
SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE AREA PUSHING THE LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE EAST.  COMBINATION OF DRY AND WINDY CONDITIONS WILL CREATE
A FIRE HAZARD.  CURRENTLY HAVE HIGH WIND WATCH FOR MOUNTAINS AND
FIRE WX WATCH FOR WESTERN CWA.  WILL ADD A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE
PLAINS THURSDAY FOR REMAINING ZONES EXCEPT THOSE BORDERING RIO GRANDE.

THE WEST WIND WILL DECREASE THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS THURSDAY AND
CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY BEFORE A COLD FRONT BLOWS THROUGH ON FRIDAY
WITH A BRISK NORTH WIND BRINGING COOLER TEMPERATURES FOR SATURDAY.
A SOUTH WIND WILL SLOWLY RETURN LATE SATURDAY/SUNDAY WITH TEMPS
BEGINNING TO REBOUND INTO THE UPPER 70S.  SOUTH WIND WILL COMBINE
WITH AN UPPER RIDGE TO WARM TEMPS BACK INTO THE 80S THROUGH EARLY
NEXT WEEK.  NO PRECIP EXPECTED THURSDAY THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
WE HAVE UPGRADED THE SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO PLAINS...THE GUADALUPE
AND DAVIS MOUNTAINS...THE VAN HORN AREA...REEVES COUNTY...AND THE
MARFA PLATEAU REGION TO A RED FLAG WARNING THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH
EARLY THIS EVENING. 20-FT WIND SPEEDS WILL INCREASE ABOVE 20 MPH
ACROSS MOST OF THIS AREA...WITH RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES DROPPING TO
10-13 PCT. 20-FT WINDS MAY STAY NEAR 20 MPH OVERNIGHT...BUT RELATIVE
HUMIDITY WILL LIKELY RISE ABOVE 15 PERCENT AFTER SUNSET.

MORE CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED ACROSS ALL OF
THE FORECAST AREA THURSDAY. A STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL PASS
ACROSS SOUTHERN COLORADO AND NORTHERN NEW MEXICO THURSDAY
MORNING...WITH WINDY TO VERY WINDY CONDITIONS SPREADING ACROSS THE
REGION IN ITS WAKE. A VERY DRY AIRMASS WILL ALSO SPREAD EASTWARD
THROUGH THE ENTIRE AREA...WITH RELATIVE HUMIDITY DROPPING TO 8-13
PCT OVER JUST ABOUT ALL LOCATIONS. WE HAVE ISSUED A FIRE WEATHER
WATCH FOR ALL ZONES THURSDAY.
