AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
420 AM CDT SAT MAR 29 2008

.DISCUSSION...
BROAD UPPER TROUGH ACROSS THE WESTERN U.S. TODAY WILL DEEPEN SUNDAY
WITH SEVERAL SMALL DISTURBANCES EXPECTED TO TRACK ACROSS THE AREA.
NONE OF THESE SHORTWAVES LOOK VERY IMPRESSIVE... BUT WHEN COMBINED
WITH DECENT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND A GOOD DRYLINE MAY BE ENOUGH TO
DEVELOP SOME STORMS.  UPPER TROUGH AXIS SHOULD PASS ACROSS THE AREA
LATE MONDAY ENDING THE RAIN CHANCES FOR THE REGION.

WILL BEGIN THE DAY WITH POST FRONTAL CONDITIONS ACROSS THE AREA AND
ABUNDANT LOW CLOUDS ACROSS THE EAST.  MODELS HAVE THE LOW CLOUDS
SPREADING WEST DURING THE MORNING HOURS.  HAVE LOWERED HIGHS TODAY
TO THE LOWER SIDE OF GUIDANCE BASED ON STRENGTH OF COLD AIRMASS AND
THE RELUCTANCE OF THE LOW CLOUDS TO CLEAR OUT YESTERDAY... COULD SEE
REPEAT TODAY.  A NUMBER OF LOCATIONS AROUND THE AREA ARE APPROACHING
SATURATION SO CONTINUED MENTION OF PATCHY MORNING FOG THAT MAY
SPREAD AS FAR WEST AS SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO WITH EASTERLY SURFACE
FLOW... ALTHOUGH PERMIAN BASIN AND TRANS PECOS LOOKING MORE
FAVORABLE.  DEVELOPMENT OF LEESIDE TROUGH WILL RETURN SURFACE WINDS
TO THE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST TODAY.

AS FAR AS RAIN CHANCES SPC HAS EASTERN PART OF AREA IN GENERAL
THUNDER TODAY AND SUNDAY.  HAVE KEPT POPS EAST BOTH DAYS BUT HAVE
CUT THE WESTERN COUNTIES OUT OF IT.  WILL HAVE DEVELOPMENT OF A
DRYLINE TODAY AND SUNDAY WHICH WILL HELP TO FOCUS STORM DEVELOPMENT
FOR EASTERN PERMIAN BASIN AND LOWER TRANS PECOS... BUT ALSO CUT OFF
MOISTURE FROM WESTERN COUNTIES.  MODEL POPS NOT VERY HIGH THIS WEEKEND
WITH MODEL QPF BEING THE HIGHEST FOR THE EASTERN PERMIAN BASIN SUNDAY
NIGHT.

ON MONDAY STILL COULD SEE A FEW SHOWERS/STORMS FAR EAST BUT DRYLINE
PUSHES EAST OF THE CWA BY MIDDAY ENDING ANY RAIN CHANCES.  WEST OF
THE DRYLINE WILL BE FIRE WX CONCERNS THAT WILL BE ADDRESSED BELOW.
LATEST MET GUIDANCE KEEPS THE WIND BELOW HIGH WIND CRITERIA AT GDP
MOST PERIODS TODAY AND SUNDAY... MAY BRIEFLY APPROACH 40 MPH BUT
WILL NOT ISSUE A WIND WARNING.

TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE WARMER TODAY CLIMBING INTO THE 80S SUNDAY AND
MONDAY.  ANOTHER COLD FRONT MONDAY NIGHT WILL KNOCK HIGHS BACK INTO
THE 70S FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK.  COULD SEE RAIN CHANCES
INCREASING LATE IN THE WEEK WITH THE APPROACH OF ANOTHER UPPER TROUGH
BUT KEPT IT DRY FOR NOW.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
RH RECOVERY HAS BEEN GOOD TO EXCELLENT ACROSS JUST ABOUT ALL OF WEST
TEXAS AND SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO EARLY THIS MORNING...AS EASTERLY
FLOW CONTINUES TO BRING MOISTURE ACROSS THE REGION. BY THIS
AFTERNOON...A DRYLINE WILL BEGIN TO SHARPEN FROM THE FAR
SOUTHEASTERN PLAINS OF NEW MEXICO TO THE BIG BEND REGION.
TEMPERATURES WILL WARM INTO THE 70S AND 80S BEHIND THE DRYLINE WITH
RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES DROPPING TO THE 10 TO 15 PCT RANGE...
ESPECIALLY WEST OF A TATUM...HOBBS...KERMIT/PECOS...ALPINE....
PANTHER JUNCTION LINE. SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL ALSO INCREASE NEAR
OR ABOVE 20 MPH ACROSS THE GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS...AND PORTIONS OF THE
SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO PLAINS AND VAN HORN AREA. WE HAVE ISSUED A
RED FLAG WARNING FOR THESE LOCATIONS FROM 2 PM MDT TO 7 PM MDT...
WHERE RH VALUES BELOW 15 PCT WILL HAVE THE BEST CHANCE TO COINCIDE
WITH 20 MPH WINDS DURING THIS TIME FRAME.

THE DRYLINE WILL ADVANCE SLIGHTLY WESTWARD TONIGHT...AND WILL EXTEND
SOMEWHERE IN THE VICINITY FROM THE SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO PLAINS TO
THE BIG BEND REGION. EAST OF THIS FEATURE...LOOK FOR GOOD TO
EXCELLENT RECOVERY...INCLUDING THE PERMIAN BASIN AND THE LOWER TRANS
PECOS AND EASTERN BIG BEND REGIONS. RH RECOVERY WILL BE POOR TO FAIR
WEST OF THE DRYLINE...ESPECIALLY THE WESTERN EDDY COUNTY PLAINS...
THE GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS...AND THE VAN HORN CORRIDOR.

CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS LOOK TO RETURN AGAIN SUNDAY
AFTERNOON ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO PLAINS...THE GUADALUPE
MTNS...THE VAN HORN CORRIDOR...AND PORTIONS OF THE UPPER TRANS PECOS
REGION...AS VERY DRY AIR ONCE AGAIN SPREADS ACROSS THESE LOCATIONS
ALONG WITH GUSTY SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS NEAR/ABOVE 20 MPH. WE WILL
CONTINUE THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR THESE LOCATIONS SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH MAY NEED TO BE EXPANDED FARTHER
EAST BY MONDAY AFTERNOON AS THE DRYLINE ADVANCES EAST OF THE ENTIRE
FORECAST AREA AND WINDS SHIFT TO THE WEST AND INCREASE TO NEAR 20
MPH ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION.
