AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
230 PM CDT WED APR 30 2008

.DISCUSSION...
NO MAJOR CHANGES MADE TO THE ONGOING FORECAST.  STILL LOOKING AT
EXTREMELY CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS THROUGH THE REMAINDER
OF TODAY AND INTO THURSDAY. EXPECT THE INCREASED SOUTHWESTERLY
WINDS TO CONTINUE TODAY...AND DECOUPLE A BIT AFTER SUNSET. BUT
WITH AN H85 JET OVER THE AREA...DO NOT EXPECT WINDS TO DIE DOWN
COMPLETELY. COULD STILL SEE SUSTAINED WINDS OF 10 TO 15KT WITH
GUSTS TO NEAR 20KT POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT. THEN TOMORROW WILL SEE
ANOTHER ROUND OF HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS AREA WIDE...WITH MOST
PLACES IN THE LOW TO MID 90S FOR HIGHS. WITH THE UNSEASONABLY WARM
TEMPS AND DRY AIRMASS IN PLACE...WILL SEE SINGLE DIGIT RH VALUES
AREAWIDE YET AGAIN. DO NOT EXPECT GOOD RECOVERY OVERNIGHT TONIGHT
NOR TOMORROW NIGHT...SO FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS WILL LIKELY REMAIN
ELEVATED THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. IN ADDITION...WITH THE
INCREASED WINDS AGAIN ON THURSDAY... KEPT BLOWING DUST IN THE WX
GRID. SUBSEQUENT SHIFTS MAY NEED TO HOIST A WIND ADVISORY TOMORROW
FOR PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. CONFIDENCE ON HOW FAR EAST TO
TAKE THE HIGHER WINDS IS THE MITIGATING FACTOR AT THIS POINT.
EXPECT THE HIGHER WINDS TO BE LOCATED ACROSS THE SE NM PLAINS AND
BLEEDING OVER INTO THE NW PERMIAN BASIN...BUT OUTSIDE THOSE
AREAS...CONFIDENCE NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO SAY.

A PACIFIC FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA EARLY FRIDAY...KNOCKING
TEMPS DOWN TO NEAR NORMAL AND VERY BRIEFLY VEER THE WINDS AROUND
FROM THE NORTH...BEFORE THEY BACK AGAIN FROM THE WEST LATER IN THE
DAY. THE COOLER AIR WILL FOLLOW ON SATURDAY WITH MOST LOCATIONS
SEEING HIGHS IN THE MID 70S. WILL SEE A SLOW WARMING TREND INTO
EARLY WEEK AS AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE ATTEMPTS TO BUILD IN OVER THE
AREA AHEAD OF THE NEXT SYSTEM. THE GFS IS GOING WHOLE HOG ON
DEWPOINTS THIS LAST RUN DURING THIS TIME FRAME...WHICH COULD SET
UP AN INTERESTING WEATHER PATTERN AROUND MID WEEK. DID A MODEL
BLEND WITH THE GFS/EURO ON THE DEWPOINT GRIDS FOR NOW TO TEMPER A
BIT. MODELS ARE INDICATING A CHANCE AT RAIN DURING THAT TIME FRAME
AS WELL...BUT KEPT FORECAST LOW END POPS UNTIL BETTER RESOLUTION
EXISTS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
THE RED FLAG WARNING SEEMS TO BE WORKING OUT QUITE WELL TODAY WITH
WINDS AND HUMIDITIES EASILY MEETING CRITERIA. WENT AHEAD AND
CONVERTED THE WATCH TO A RED FLAG WARNING TOMORROW...BUT THE MID
SHIFT WILL HAVE TO ADDRESS WHETHER IT MAY NEED TO BEGIN SOONER.
CLEAR SKIES SHOULD ALLOW FOR SOME DECOUPLING TONIGHT OF THE SURFACE
WINDS BUT CANNOT BE ENTIRELY SURE OF IT. RED FLAG CONDITIONS WILL
BEGIN EARLIER THAN TODAY WITH MOISTURE RECOVERY TONIGHT EXPECTED TO
BE VERY POOR. WINDS WILL BE STRONGER TOMORROW AND A WIND ADVISORY
MAY BE NEEDED FOR PORTIONS OF THE PERMIAN BASIN MAKING TOMORROW A
WORSE FIRE WEATHER DAY THAN TODAY.

CANNOT RULE OUT THE NEED FOR A FIRE WEATHER WATCH ON FRIDAY. DESPITE
A FRONTAL PASSAGE...NOT MUCH COOL AIR CAN BE EXPECTED AND MOISTURE
WILL DEFINITELY BE LACKING WITH DOWNSLOPING NORTHWEST FLOW. THE ONLY
QUESTION IS THE WIND SPEEDS WHICH ARE CURRENTLY EXPECTED TO BE IN
THE 10 TO 20 MPH RANGE. AM CONCERNED THOUGH THAT THE MODELS COULD BE
UNDERESTIMATING THE AMOUNT OF MIXING TO OCCUR AND WINDS MAY BE
HIGHER. LATER SHIFTS NEED TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THIS. FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS SHOULD FINALLY ABATE OVER THE WEEKEND AS A SECOND AND
STRONGER SURGE OF COLD AIR MOVES INTO THE AREA.
