AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
518 AM CST SAT DEC 22 2007
.AVIATION...
WINDS WILL BE THE BIGGEST PROBLEM TODAY ACROSS AREA TAFS...
ALTHOUGH A FEW LOWER CLOUDS COULD ALSO MATERIALIZE ACROSS EASTERN
TAF SITES LATER THIS MORNING. EXPECT WINDS TO SWITCH AROUND TO THE
NORTH NEAR OR SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE AS THE COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO
PUSH SOUTH THROUGH THE AREA. WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT HAVE BEEN 20KT
WITH GUSTS TO GREATER THAN 30KT AT TIMES. THINK WINDS ACROSS THE
AREA COULD FOLLOW THIS TREND THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WHEN WINDS
SHOULD BEGIN DYING DOWN. EXPECT NEAR CALM WINDS OVERNIGHT.
LOW CLOUDS WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO FORM ALONG AND NEAR THE FRONT
LATER THIS MORNING. WILL LIKELY ONLY BRIEFLY TOUCH MVFR CONDITIONS
BEFORE QUICKLY GOING BACK TO VFR CONDITIONS AGAIN. THEN VFR
CONDITIONS WILL BE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS TONIGHT. /13/

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 329 AM CST SAT DEC 22 2007/
DISCUSSION...
COLD FRONT HAS MOVED THROUGH THE TEXAS PANHANDLE AND WILL BE INTO
THE NORTHERN PERMIAN BASIN NOT LONG AFTER SUNRISE. WINDS WILL
SHIFT AROUND TO THE NORTH BEHIND THE FRONT AND BECOME BREEZY TO
WINDY AS STRONG CAA DOMINATES IN THE WAKE OF THE DEPARTING UPPER
LEVEL LOW. WINDS ARE CURRENTLY GUSTING IN EXCESS OF 40 KTS BEHIND
THE FRONT AND A WIND ADVISORY MAY NOT BE OUT OF THE QUESTION FOR
TODAY BUT A WEAKER PRESSURE GRADIENT IN THE PB SHOULD PRECLUDE
ISSUANCE. WENT AHEAD AND LEFT POPS IN THE EXTREME NORTHERN
COUNTIES...BUT GIVEN THE PRONOUNCED DRY SLOT OVER THE CWA ON WV
IMAGERY...RAIN OR SNOW CHANCES SEEM PRETTY DISMAL.
ELSEWHERE IN THE SHORT TERM STRONG WINDS IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS
ARE BEGINNING TO SUBSIDE AND THE HIGH WIND WARNING WILL MOST
LIKELY BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE...THOUGH WINDS IN THE DAVIS MOUNTAINS
ARE STILL PRETTY HIGH AND WILL NEED TO BE CLOSELY WATCHED.
THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PACKAGE WILL BE A SERIES OF REPEAT
PERFORMANCES AS ZONAL FLOW SENDS SEVERAL UPPER LEVEL LOWS ACROSS
THE CENTRAL PLAINS WHICH IN TURN WILL GIVE US MULTIPLE COLD
FRONTAL PASSAGES. THIS FORECAST PACKAGE STAYED CLOSE TO THE GFS.
THE 21/12Z ECMWF SEEMED TOO SLOW AND DEEP WITH THE UPPER
PATTERN...ESPECIALLY WITH REGARDS THE LOW SEEN APPROACHING AROUND
CHRISTMAS. WE SHOULD SEE SEVERAL SHOTS OF COOL AIR BUT WE ARE NOT
GOING TO BE ABLE TO TAP INTO ANY ARCTIC AIR SO THE TEMPS WILL BE
QUICK TO REBOUND. CHRISTMAS PROMISES TO BE A NICE DAY WITH DRY
WEATHER AND NEAR TO ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES.
