AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
246 PM CDT TUE JUN 3 2008

.DISCUSSION...
TEMPERATURES ARE LAGGING BEHIND YESTERDAY SLIGHTLY AND WINDS ARE
THEREFORE HAVING A TOUGHER TIME MIXING DOWN. STILL EXPECT FOR US
TO RUN UP THE TEMP IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS BRINGING A BRIEF
SPELL OF GUSTY WINDS. WV IMAGERY SHOWS A STRONG JET OFF THE
PACIFIC COAST MAKING ITS WAY INLAND AT PRESENT WHICH WILL BRING AN
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH ACROSS THE SOUTHWESTERN U.S. CAUSING WINDS TO
PICK UP. THE DRYLINE WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM MIXING INTO THE EASTERN
PERMIAN BASIN GIVEN ITS ADDITIONAL SYNOPTIC SHOVE FROM THE
INCREASING SWLY FLOW. A THERMAL RIDGE LOCATED OVER THE TRANS PECOS
TODAY WILL SHIFT EASTWARD BEHIND THE DRYLINE TOMORROW SPREADING
RECORD OR NEAR RECORD HIGHS TO PORTIONS OF THE CWA INCLUDING MAF.
GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT ON H85 TEMPS REACHING 33C TO 34C EASILY
EXTRAPOLATES TO NEAR 110 AT THE SURFACE IN MAF AND TRIPLE DIGITS
ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA. THESE CONDITIONS CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY
THUS HAD NO PROBLEM GOING ABOVE GUIDANCE.

FRIDAY APPEARS TO BE COOLER AS THE UPPER TROUGH PASSES EAST AND
SOUTH TO SOUTHEASTERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW TRIES TO ADVECT IN COOLER
NEAR SFC TEMPS. HOWEVER THIS MUST BE TAKEN WITH GREAT CAUTION DUE
TO THE RECENT 100 DEGREE PLUS TEMPS WITH THIS SAME DIRECTIONAL
FLOW. WENT ABOVE GUIDANCE FRIDAY AND WITH GUIDANCE SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY THOUGH THE WEEKEND MAY WELL BE TOO LOW GIVEN THE UPPER
RIDGE TRIES TO BUILD BACK IN FROM THE EAST. A SECOND UPPER TROUGH
APPROACHES THE REGION LATE IN THE WEEKEND THOUGH ITS AFFECTS ARE
TOUGH TO DETERMINE RIGHT NOW. THE ECMWF WANTS TO BREAK OUT PRECIP
EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE TROUGH INTERACTS WITH RETURNING DEEP
SURFACE MOISTURE BUT I CANNOT BUY THAT SOLUTION AT THIS TIME. I
FEEL THE MOISTURE WILL BE TOO SHALLOW AND THE TROUGH TOO FAR
REMOVED TO THE NORTH TO BE ABLE TO START CONVECTION AND THEREFORE
WENT CLOSER TO THE GFS. COULD SEE SOME ISOLATED CONVECTION IN THE
MOUNTAINS BUT WILL NOT MENTION AT THIS TIME.

HENNIG

.FIRE WEATHER...
THE FIRE DANGER RATING WAS VERY HIGH TO EXTREME AREAWIDE IN PART DUE
TO 1 AND 10 HOUR FUEL MOISTURE LEVELS OF 0 TO 2 PERCENT OVER MUCH OF
THE FORECAST AREA.  RH/S WILL STILL DROP TO THE 5 TO 10 PERCENT
ALONG AND WEST OF A LAMESA TO FORT STOCKTON TO BIG BEND LINE...WITH
10 TO 15 PERCENT EAST OF THIS LINE.  SINCE SLOW TO RISE WIND SPEEDS
ARE STILL EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO NEAR 20 MPH OVER THE WEST...AND 15
TO 20 EAST...WILL KEEP THE CURRENT RED FLAG WARNING INTACT.
RECOVERY TONIGHT WILL BE POOR OVER THE GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS...
ADJACENT SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO PLAINS...UPPER TRANS PECOS...VAN HORN
AREA...MARFA PLATEAU AND PRESIDIO VALLEY.  FAIR TO GOOD RECOVERY IS
EXPECTED OVER THE REST OF THE SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO PLAINS...PERMIAN
BASIN...STOCKTON PLATEAU AND LOWER TRANS PECOS.

A RED FLAG WARNING WILL BE ISSUED FOR WEDNESDAY FROM NOON UNTIL 10
PM CDT FOR ALL BUT PORTIONS OF THE LOWER TRANS PECOS AS AN UPPER
LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE AREA BREAKS DOWN.  THIS AS HOT TEMPERATURES AND
VERY HIGH TO EXTREME FIRE DANGER PERSIST...AND SOUTHWEST WINDS
INCREASE TO 20 TO 25 MPH OVER MOST OF THE REGION.  GUSTS TO 40KT OR
MORE WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER THE GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS AND SOUTHEAST NEW
MEXICO PLAINS.  GUSTS OF 30 TO 35KT WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER MUCH OF
THE REST OF THE RED FLAG WARNING AREA.  WILL INCLUDE A PARTICULARLY
DANGEROUS SITUATION IN THE RED FLAG WARNING DUE TO THE UNUSUALLY
HOT...DRY AND WINDY CONDITIONS EXPECTED.  RECOVERY WEDNESDAY NIGHT
WILL ONLY BE POOR TO FAIR FROM THE GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS AND SOUTHEAST
NEW MEXICO PLAINS...SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE UPPER TRANS PECOS...VAN
HORN AREA...MARFA PLATEAU...DAVIS MOUNTAINS AND BIG BEND REGION.
GOOD OR BETTER RECOVERY IS EXPECTED FURTHER EAST.

A FIRE WEATHER WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA
THURSDAY AS CONDITIONS WILL BE SIMILAR TO WEDNESDAY.  THE ONLY
DIFFERENCES WILL BE STRONGER WINDS AREAWIDE...AND A LITTLE COOLER
TEMPERATURES OVER THE GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS...SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
PLAINS AND UPPER TRANS PECOS IN PARTICULAR.
