AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LUBBOCK TX
334 AM CDT THU APR 10 2008

.SHORT TERM...
COMPLEX FCST CONTINUES IN THE SHORT TERM AS AN UPPER TROUGH/LOW
WILL LIFT ENEWD FROM COLO ONTO THE HIGH PLAINS OF KS TIGHTENING
LOW/MID LEVEL GRADIENT SUFFICIENTLY FOR A HIGH WIND EVENT ACROSS
THE FCST AREA. HEAVY RAINFALL YESTERDAY AND LAST EVENING HAS
COMPLICATED DETAILS.

FIRST...IN THE NEAR TERM THE ABUNDANT SFC MOISTURE FROM THE RAINFALL
COMBINED WITH VERY LIGHT WINDS HAS RESULTED IN WIDESPREAD FOG ALONG
THE I-27 CORRIDOR AND MAY SPREAD EWD TOWARD THE SRN ROLLING PLAINS
BEFORE ALL IS SAID AND DONE. SFC OBS SUGGEST THERE IS NOT MUCH PUNCH
TO THE SFC TROUGH ACROSS ERN NEW MEXICO YET AND THUS FOG MAY HANG ON
FOR SEVERAL MORE HOURS. HOPEFULLY THE SFC TROUGH WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT
EWD BEFORE MIXING THAT WILL COME AFTER SUNRISE. WILL HANDLE WITH
SHORT TERM FCST ATTM.

SHOULD SEE ONSET OF INCREASING WINDS NOT TOO LONG AFTER SUNRISE AS
SUBSIDENCE WORKS ACROSS THE AREA. AS MENTIONED ABOVE THE LOW AND MID
LEVEL PRESSURE GRADIENTS APPEAR TO BE MORE THAN SUFFICIENT TO MEET
HIGH WIND CRITERIA FOR MOST IF NOT ALL OF THE FCST AREA DURING THE
MIDDLE PART OF THE DAY. BOTH GFS AND WRF-NAM PROG A 700MB JET STREAK
OF ABOUT 50KT MAGNITUDE TO TRAVERSE THE NRN ZONES DURING THE MORNING
HOURS. BY MID AFTERNOON GRADIENTS BEGIN TO SLACKEN AND THE JET
STREAK SHIFTS EAST OF THE AREA. WILL ALSO SEE A COLD FRONT MOVE
SOUTH THROUGH THE PANHANDLE AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES TOWARD SE
NEBRASKA. THAT FRONT SHOULD ENTER THE NRN ZONES NEAR OR A BIT BEFORE
00Z AIDING IN DECREASING WINDS. WILL CONVERT HIGH WIND WATCH TO A
WARNING.

TYPICALLY WINDS THIS STRONG PRETTY EASILY LEAD TO WIDESPREAD BLOWING
DUST THAT OFTEN MEETS ADVISORY CRITERIA. RAINFALL YESTERDAY HAS MADE
THIS SOMEWHAT ATYPICAL. RAINFALL DOES BRING SMALLER DUST PARTICLES
TO THE TOP OF THE TOPSOIL AND ARE OFTEN EASILY LIFTED ONCE THEY ARE
DRIED OUT. HOWEVER...HEAVY RAIN THAT SOME AREAS ALONG I-27 AND THE
NWRN ZONES RECEIVED COULD LEAVE ENOUGH STANDING WATER IN FIELDS TO
HELP ALLEVIATE THE DUST POTENTIAL. THINK THE BEST CHANCE FOR DUST
SOURCES WILL BE THE SANDY AREAS OF ERN NEW MEXICO AND THE WRN BORDER
COUNTIES OF THE FCST AREA. THINK THOSE AREAS HAVE A PRETTY GOOD SHOT
OF SEEING WIDESPREAD 1 MILE VISIBILITIES FOR A TIME TODAY AND WILL
ISSUE A BLOWING DUST ADVISORY FOR THE WRN TWO COLUMNS OF COUNTIES.
FURTHER EAST TOWARD I-27 IS LESS CERTAIN AND WILL LET NEXT SHIFT
REEVALUATE THAT POTENTIAL.

CONDITIONS GET MUCH QUIETER TONIGHT WITH WINDS LIKELY DECREASING
PRETTY QUICKLY TONIGHT AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES OFF TOWARD THE UPPER
MS VALLEY.

.LONG TERM...
DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL SLOWLY EDGE EAST THROUGH THE CENTRAL
UNITED STATES FRIDAY WITH POTENT H50 CLOSED LOW MOVING NORTHEAST
ACRS THE UPR MIDWEST. WILL SEE ANOTHER STRONG PIECE OF MID LEVEL
ENERGY MOVE THRU THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES ON BACK SIDE OF TROUGH...PERHAPS
RESULTING IN A FEW SHOWERS FM NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO INTO THE FAR SW
TX PANHANDLE. FOR NOW...HAVE KEPT POPS LESS THAN 20 PERCENT...BUT
LATER SHIFTS MAY NEED TO RAISE A BIT. OTHERWISE...THE AREA WILL
SEE RATHER COOL TEMPS WITH STRONG SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING
INTO WEST TEXAS. SATURDAY SHOULD BE THE COOLEST DAY WITH DAYTIME
MAXIMA A GOOD 10 DEGS BELOW NORMAL. ADDITIONALLY...LOW TEMPS BOTH
FRI AND SAT NIGHTS MAY DIP TO NR OR SLIGHTLY BLO FREEZING OVER
PORTIONS OF THE SW PANHANDLE AND NW SOUTH PLAINS.

VERY NICE DAY LOOKS IN STORE FOR SUNDAY WITH LIGHT WINDS AND TEMPS
CLIMBING UP TO NR THE 70 DEG MARK. REMAINDER OF FCST IN GOOD SHAPE
WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND WARM TEMPS EXPECTED MON-WED AS SFC
LEE TROUGH STRENGTHENS OVER THE SRN PLAINS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
WINDS WILL EASILY MEET RED FLAG CRITERIA AREAWIDE. TYPICALLY THIS
SITUATION BRINGS STRONG DRY ADVECTION AND MIXING DOWN OF DRY AIR TO
THE SFC. HOWEVER...THE RAINFALL AMOUNTS SEEN YESTERDAY...
PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE ERN ZONES COULD VERY WELL COUNTERACT SOME OF
THAT DRYING. EFFECT MAY BE ENOUGH TO KEEP RELATIVE HUMIDITIES FROM
FALLING BELOW 20 PERCENT ACROSS THE ERN ZONES. PLUS THOSE AREAS HAVE
BEGUN TO GREEN UP SOME WITH RECENT WARMER WEATHER. FURTHER WEST
THERE IS STILL PLENTY OF DRY DORMANT VEGETATION...LESS RECENT
RAINFALL AND A BETTER POTENTIAL TO SEE RELATIVE HUMIDITIES PUSH
TOWARD 10 PERCENT THIS AFTERNOON. THUS AM INCLINED TO ISSUE RED FLAG
WARNING FOR ROUGHLY THE WRN 2/3RDS OF THE FCST AREA.

612 PM CDT WED APR 9 2008

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR THE EXTREME SOUTHERN TEXAS
PANHANDLE...SOUTH PLAINS AND ROLLING PLAINS.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT

CONVECTIVE

A WARM FRONT CONTINUES TO HOLD IN PLACE FROM EASTERN NEW MEXICO
NEAR TATUM SOUTHWARD TO NEAR MIDLAND THEN NORTHEAST TO ABILENE.
THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP NEAR THIS BOUNDARY THROUGH THE EVENING
AS AN UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM APPROACHES. ALTHOUGH SURFACE
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE SOUTH PLAINS REMAIN COOL AND STABLE THERE IS
STILL ENOUGH INSTABILITY MOVING OVER THE WARM FRONT AND ABOVE THE
COOL SURFACE AIR TO SUPPORT ELEVATED SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS.

SCATTERED STORMS ACROSS THE WESTERN SOUTH PLAINS WILL SPREAD EAST
THROUGH THE EVENING WITH COVERAGE INCREASING WITH TIME. THE BEST
POTENTIAL FOR WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER APPEARS TO BE EAST OF
INTERSTATE 27 DURING THE LATE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS. IN
ADDITION...STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS DEVELOPING NEAR THE DRYLINE AND
WARM FRONT INTERSECTION ACROSS THE PERMIAN BASIN WILL ALSO MOVE
NORTH AND COULD IMPACT THE WESTERN ROLLING PLAINS. THE PRIMARY
THREAT FROM ANY OF THESE STORMS WILL BE LARGE HAIL BUT ISOLATED
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE WESTERN
SOUTH PLAINS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OVER MUCH OF THE
SOUTH PLAINS AND SOUTHERN LOW ROLLING PLAINS ON THURSDAY AS STRONG
WEST WINDS AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITIES SPREAD ACROSS THE REGION. A FIRE
WEATHER WATCH IS IN EFFECT FROM MID THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. IN ADDITION...WIND SPEEDS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE AREA
MAY APPROACH OR EXCEED SUSTAINED SPEEDS OF 40 MPH...WITH BLOWING
DUST.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS POSSIBLE THROUGH THIS EVENING AND INTO EARLY
THURSDAY MORNING ACROSS THE SOUTH PLAINS...SOUTHERN PANHANDLE AND
ROLLING PLAINS.
