DISCUSSION...
A STRONG UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM IN THE GREAT BASIN WILL MOVE TO
THE ROCKIES BY THIS EVENING. AT THE SURFACE A STATIONARY FRONT
CURRENTLY STALLED NEAR THE RIO GRANDE RIVER WILL RETREAT NORTHWARD
DURING THE DAY TODAY AS HEIGHTS FALL AHEAD OF AFOREMENTIONED SYSTEM.
LARGE SCALE LIFT AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE
TODAY WITH ELEVATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING NORTH OF
THE FRONT MAINLY NORTH AND EAST OF THE PECOS RIVER THIS MORNING
INTO EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. LOW WET BULB ZERO TEMPERATURES (7000 FEET
AGL) AND STEEP LAPSE RATES SUGGEST THAT A FEW STORMS COULD BE SEVERE.
THERE WILL PROBABLY BE A LULL IN THE ACTION THIS AFTERNOON ONCE THE
WARM FRONT LIFTS TOWARD THE EXTREME NORTHEAST PERMIAN BASIN. SEVERE
SURFACE BASED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP LATE THIS AFTERNOON
AND OR EARLY EVENING AND LAST TIL AFTER MIDNIGHT DUE TO MORE HEIGHT

STRONGER WIND FIELDS WITH THE UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM APPROACH.
HAVE ALSO ISSUED A HIGH WIND WARNING FOR THE DAVIS MOUNTAINS
TONIGHT ABOVE 6000 FEET AS 40 TO 50 KNOT 700 MILLIBAR WINDS

LOOKING FOR VERY WINDY TO STRONG WINDS ON THURSDAY AS THE HEIGHT
AND PRESSURE GRADIENTS INCREASE TREMENDOUSLY AS THE UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM
PASSES BY TO THE NORTH. 70 TO 85 KNOT 500 MILLIBAR WINDS SUPPORT
STRONG DAMAGING WINDS IN THE MOUNTAINS. THE SURFACE TO 700 MILLIBAR
WIND FIELD CHECKLIST (40 KNOTS PROGGED OFF THE SURFACE) SUPPORT THE
POTENTIAL FOR HIGH WINDS IN THE PERMIAN BASIN...UPPER TRANS PECOS...
MARFA PLATEAU AND SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO PLAINS. WILL MENTION PATCHY
BLOWING DUST MOST AREAS.
A DRY CYCLONIC NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL FOLLOW FRIDAY THROUGH
THE WEEKEND AS THE LARGE UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM EXPANDS ITS INFLUENCE

NORMAL IN THIS REGIME.
MODEL DISCREPANCY IS APPARENT EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH THE GFS40
INDICATING AN OMEGA BLOCK PATTERN WITH A DEVELOPING UPPER LEVEL

A SURFACE TROUGH OVER SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO EXTENDING DOWN ACROSS THE
BIG BEND WILL RESULT IN DRY SOUTHWEST WINDS WEST OF THE TROUGH WITH
MOIST SOUTHEAST WINDS AHEAD OF IT. THIS DRYLINE WILL EXTEND FROM
NEAR TATUM TO SANDERSON AS OF 18Z AND PUSH TO NEAR A LAMESA TO
RANKIN LINE AS OF 00Z. THE DRYLINE IS NOT EXPECTED TO RETREAT MUCH

EASTERN COUNTIES AND WILL BE RAPIDLY SHOVED EAST BY THURSDAY MORNING
AS THE UPPER TROUGH APPROACHES... WITH A CLOSED SURFACE LOW
DEVELOPING OVER THE BIG COUNTRY BY 06Z. THIS LOW WILL MOVE ACROSS
THE RED RIVER BY 12Z THURSDAY.

FIRE WEATHER WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR ALL OF SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO
