AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
243 PM CDT TUE APR 29 2008

.DISCUSSION...
WINDY TO VERY WINDY CONDITIONS WILL BE ONE OF THE MAIN STORIES ALONG
WITH FIRE WEATHER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. UPPER LOW WILL BE
DIGGING ACROSS THE WESTERN STATES WITH A STRONG SURFACE LOW
DEVELOPING EAST OF THE TROUGH AXIS ACROSS THE WESTERN HIGH PLAINS.
STRONG WIND FIELDS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS TROUGH AND SURFACE LOW MAY
GENERATE HIGH WINDS IN THE MOUNTAINS WITH WIND ADVISORIES PROBABLY
ALSO NEEDED ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO PLAINS AND UPPER TRANS
PECOS. A HIGH WIND WATCH HAS BEEN EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THE
GUADALUPE AND DAVIS MOUNTAINS FROM 18Z WEDNESDAY UNTIL 06
THURSDAY. THIS WATCH WILL PROBABLY NEED TO BE EXPANDED LATER INTO
THURSDAY. 850 MILLIBAR THERMAL RIDGING WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO
CLIMB TO MUCH ABOVE NORMAL VALUES WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. A COLD
FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH INTO THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY AS
THE UPPER SYSTEM MOVES NORTHEAST INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS. HIGH
TEMPERATURES BEHIND THIS SYSTEM ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY ARE
EXPECTED TO BE PUSHED BACK TO NEAR NORMAL.

BEYOND SATURDAY GUIDANCE IS IN SIGNIFICANT DISAGREEMENT ON THE
EVOLUTION OF THE NEXT WESTERN SYSTEM. THE GFS40 IS MUCH MORE
PROGRESSIVE AND WEAKER WITH AN OPEN SYSTEM AS OPPOSED TO A
STRONGER AND SLOWER SOLUTION DEPICTED ON THE ECMWF/NOGAPS. DID NOT
MAKE MAJOR CHANGES TO THE EXTENDED FORECAST...USED A BLEND OF
GFS/ECMWF ON WINDS AND DEWPOINTS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
THE RED FLAG VALID FOR THE GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS TODAY HAS WORKED OUT
PRETTY WELL. WENT AHEAD AND UPGRADED THE WATCH ON WEDNESDAY TO A RED
FLAG WARNING AS IT LOOKS A PRETTY GOOD BET WINDS WILL HIT ACROSS
MOST OF THE AREA. LEFT THE WATCH ON THURSDAY ALONE FOR NOW THOUGH
THAT WILL UNDOUBTEDLY BE UPGRADED TO A WARNING AS WELL SINCE
CONDITIONS LOOK EVEN BETTER THAN WEDNESDAY.

PERHAPS MOST CRITICAL TO THE FIRE WEATHER FORECAST WILL BE THE
TIMING OF THE FRONT THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. THE WIND SHIFT WILL
PRIMARILY AFFECT AREAS EAST OF THE PECOS RIVER BEFORE SUNRISE...THEN
WILL PROGRESS SOUTH DURING THE REMAINDER OF FRIDAY MORNING.
FORTUNATELY WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL NOT BE VERY STRONG BUT THE
WIND SHIFT ALONE COULD PRESENT PROBLEMS TO ANY FIRE FIGHTING
EFFORTS. THE COLD FRONT WILL DROP HIGH TEMPERATURES SOME...BUT ITS
MAIN EFFECT WILL BE TO LOWER WIND SPEEDS BELOW RED FLAG CRITERIA.
