AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LUBBOCK TX
337 AM CDT THU JUN 5 2008

.SHORT TERM...
VIGOROUS UPPER LOW ACROSS SRN UTAH EARLY THIS MORNING WILL MOVE
ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND SRN ROCKIES TODAY AND THEN OUT INTO THE
PLAINS TONIGHT. A STRONG JETMAX WILL ROTATE AROUND THE BASE OF THE
LOW/TROUGH WITH ALMOST 100+ KT AT H5 TRANSLATING ACROSS THE NW SOUTH
PLAINS AND PANHANDLE. AT THE SFC...LOW PRESSURE CENTER IN SE
COLORADO WILL BEGIN TO MOVE EAST ACROSS KS TODAY...AND DRAG A SFC
TROUGH ACROSS THE PANHANDLES AND SPLNS. FCST WIND SPEEDS ARE A MAIN
CONCERN AND A BIT PROBLEMATIC ACROSS THE AREA TODAY. AS OF 3
AM...WIND SPEEDS HAVE REMAINED AT JUST BELOW ADVISORY LEVELS FOR MANY
LOCATIONS MOST OF THE NIGHT...ALTHOUGH WE EXPECT SPEEDS TO DIMINISH
SOMEWHAT TOWARD SUNRISE. MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT THE STRONGEST
WINDS WILL THEN SHIFT EASTWARD FROM THE SPLNS INTO THE ROLLING
PLAINS TODAY. SUSTAINED 30 KTS SHOULD BE MET AT LEAST IN THE EASTERN
2/3RDS OF THE CWA TODAY...IN FACT WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE SOME
MORE ISOLD SEVERE WIND GUSTS. FARTHER WEST WE MAY SEE A DECREASING
TREND IN WIND SPEEDS THROUGH THE AFTN AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
RELAXES IN THE SFC TROUGH. HOWEVER...GIVEN THE SW-NE ORIENTATION OF
THE JETMAX...AND THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF THE WEST...HAVE OPTED TO
INCLUDE ALL COUNTIES IN THE WIND ADVISORY...ALTHOUGH WE EXPECT THE
WINDS TO DECREASE OUT WEST IN THE AFTN AND THUS THE ADVISORY MAY BE
ABLE TO TRIMMED WITH TIME. AREAS OF BLOWING DUST AND DANGEROUS FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL ALSO CONTINUE...SEE FIRE WX SECTION BELOW.
FINALLY...HIGH TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO BE ABOUT 5-10 DEGREES COOLER
TODAY WITH THE INCOMING SYSTEM BUT DOWNSLOPE WARMING WILL COUNTERACT
THE LOWER HEIGHTS TO A DEGREE.

DRYLINE ONCE AGAIN EXPECTED TO MIX INTO THE EASTERN ROLLING
PLAINS...HANGING BACK TO FARTHER WEST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ZONES. LATER
THIS EVENING...HEIGHT FALLS AND STRONG LARGE SCALE ASCENT WILL
SPREAD ACROSS THE REGION. H7 TEMPS ARE FCST TO DROP FROM ABOUT 16 C
TO ABOUT 12 C. TSTM DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED ALONG THE DRYLINE ACROSS
SRN KS/NRN OK. DEVELOPMENT FARTHER SOUTH IS MORE UNCERTAIN...BUT
SEVERAL VERSIONS OF THE WRF/NAM DEVELOP SHOW TSTMS CONTINUING TO
DEVELOP SWD ALONG THE DL BETWEEN ABOUT 3Z AND 6Z. WITH THIS IN MIND
WILL MAINTAIN SLGT CHC IN THIS AREA TONIGHT. AS TROUGH AXIS PASSES
EAST THE WINDS WILL REMAIN VEERED WITH THE DL REMAINING IN THE EAST.
SLIGHTLY COOLER OVERNIGHT TEMPS EXPECTED ON THE CAPROCK. A VERY WEAK
NORTHERLY WIND SHIFT MAY WORK INTO THE NRN SECTIONS AFTER MIDNIGHT.

.LONG TERM...
THE STRONG UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM RESPONSIBLE FOR THURSDAYS
STRONG WINDS WILL LIFT QUICKLY NORTH AND EAST INTO THE NORTHERN
GREAT PLAINS/UPR MIDWEST ON FRIDAY. ALTHOUGH A VERY WEAK WIND
SHIFT TO THE NORTH MAY OCCUR EARLY FRIDAY...SFC WINDS WILL QUICKLY
SHIFT BACK TO THE SOUTH DURING THE DAY AS A LEE TROUGH DEEPENS
OVER EASTERN COLORADO AND NEW MEXICO. WINDS WILL BECOME BREEZY
AGAIN BY 00Z...BUT NOTHING LIKE IN RECENT DAYS.

FOR THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK...WILL SEE MORE TYPICAL EARLY SUMMER
WEATHER FOR THE REGION WITH THE DRYLINE GENERALLY REMAINING OVER
EASTERN NEW MEXICO. ALTHOUGH WINDS WILL REMAIN BREEZY...FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL FINALLY EASE WITH MUCH HIGHER DEWPOINTS IN
THE 50S AND 60S. MAY EVEN SEE SOME EARLY MORNING STRATUS OVER MUCH
OF THE AREA WITH THE INCREASED LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. WILL HAVE TO
KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON ANY STORM INITIATION INVOF THE DRYLINE DURG
THE LATE AFTN/EARLY EVENING HRS SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY WITH
INCREASED SFC CONVERGENCE AND POSSIBLE WEAK DISTURBANCES IN
SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. TOO EARLY TO ADD MENTIONABLE POPS RIGHT NOW.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
ONCE AGAIN WE WILL HAVE TO CONTEND WITH DANGEROUS FIRE WX CONDITIONS
ACROSS THE AREA TODAY. DESPITE SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPS...RH VALUES
SHOULD EASILY DROP BELOW 15 PERCENT WEST OF THE DRYLINE WHICH SHOULD
BE LOCATED FROM NEAR CHILDRESS SWWD INTO KENT COUNTY BY MID
AFTERNOON. AND WIND SPEEDS AT THE 20-FT LEVEL ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN
THE 20 TO 30 MPH RANGE WITH STRONGER GUSTS. THE FIRE WX WATCH HAS
BEEN UPGRADED TO A RED FLAG WARNING FOR ALL BUT THE EASTERN ROLLING
PLAINS.
