VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS. EARLY EVENING
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS MOST OF THE MID TO HIGH CLOUD HAVE NOW
EXITED THE REGION TO THE EAST. GUSTY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS...WITH WIND SPEEDS DECREASING AROUND SUNSET.
THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM APPROACHING THE AREA FROM THE NORTH WILL
RESULT IN SCATTERED TO BROKEN CIRRUS TOMORROW. WINDS WILL ALSO BE
ON THE INCREASE FROM THE WEST SOUTHWEST TOMORROW AFTERNOON...WITH
GUSTS NEAR 25 TO 30 KT.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 240 PM CDT WED MAR 25 2009/

DISCUSSION...
THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH THAT IS CURRENTLY OVER THE COUNTY WARNING AREA
WILL EXIT TO THE EAST.  STRONGER MID LEVEL FLOW ALOFT WILL THEN
PREVAIL OVER THE REGION THURSDAY AHEAD OF A STRONGER SHORTWAVE
TROUGH DIGGING OVER THE WESTERN CONUS.  THIS SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL
CUTOFF...THEN MOVE OVER THE FORECAST AREA FRIDAY.  THIS WILL RESULT
IN WINDY CONDITIONS OVER THE FORECAST AREA AND FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS
THURSDAY...FOLLOWED BY MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES AREAWIDE...AND A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION OVER THE NORTHERN CWA FRIDAY.  MID
LEVEL WINDS WILL STRENGTHEN WITHIN TIGHTENING FLOW ALOFT OVER THE
REGION THURSDAY...WHILE A STRONG SURFACE LOW DEVELOPS OVER NORTHEAST
NEW MEXICO.  EXPECT STRONG WINDS TO OCCUR IN THE GUADALUPE
MOUNTAINS...AND WILL LEAVE THE HIGH WIND WATCH GOING THERE.  HAVE
ALSO ADDED CULBERSON COUNTY AND THE DAVIS MOUNTAINS TO THE HIGH WIND
WATCH AS STRONG MID LEVEL WINDS ARE PROGGED TO MOVE OVER THESE
AREAS.  ACROSS THE REST OF THE AREA...WARMING 850 HPA AND DOWNSLOPE
WINDS DUE TO THE STRENGTHENING SURFACE LOW WILL WARM TEMPERATURES
WELL ABOVE NORMAL.  WILL ELABORATE ON FIRE WEATHER MORE BELOW.

THE MENTIONED STRONG UPPER TROUGH/CUTOFF LOW WILL THEN DROP
INTO THE AREA ALONG WITH A STRONG COLD FRONT THURSDAY NIGHT AND
FRIDAY.  EXPECT THE FRONT TO MOVE THROUGH MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA
BY FRIDAY MORNING AND DROP TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL.
SINCE THE NORTH WINDS DO NOT APPEAR CONDUCIVE FOR FUNNELING THROUGH
GUADALUPE PASS...WILL RAISE WIND SPEEDS THERE TO JUST BELOW 40 MPH
SUSTAINED AND NOT ISSUE A HIGH WIND WATCH.  HIGH TEMPERATURES FRIDAY
COULD END UP AS MUCH AS 30 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL AS THE CUTOFF LOW
MOVES OVER THE AREA.  IN ADDITION...THE UPPER LOW APPEARS TO MOVE
FAR ENOUGH SOUTH TO KEEP THE SLIGHT CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION GOING
OVER SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO AND THE NORTHERN PERMIAN BASIN THURSDAY
NIGHT AND FRIDAY.  SINCE THE TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE COLUMN WILL
DROP DRAMATICALLY BENEATH THIS UPPER FEATURE...WILL CHANGE THE
PRECIPITATION PHASE TO A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW THURSDAY NIGHT...AND
ALL SNOW FRIDAY.  AT THIS TIME... PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS LOOK TO BE
LIGHT AND GROUND TEMPERATURES WILL STILL BE FAIRLY WARM...SO NO
APPRECIABLE ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED.

THE SURFACE RIDGE WILL BUILD IN FRIDAY NIGHT AS PRECIPITATION ENDS
FROM WEST TO EAST OVER THE NORTHERN CWA.  IT IS STILL UNCERTAIN
WHETHER CLOUDS WILL CLEAR OUT FRIDAY NIGHT...BUT COLD AIR ADVECTION
AT THE SURFACE SHOULD ALLOW READINGS TO DROP TO FREEZING OR BELOW
OVER PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO...THE UPPER TRANS PECOS...AND
MUCH OF THE PERMIAN BASIN AND WESTERN LOW ROLLING PLAINS.  IF CLOUD
COVER CLEARS OUT...SUBSEQUENT SHIFTS MAY HAVE TO LOWER TEMPERATURES
FURTHER FOR SATURDAY MORNING.

NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL PREVAIL OVER THE REGION SATURDAY WITH A
TRANSIENT...FLAT UPPER RIDGE TRAVERSING THE AREA SUNDAY.  A
PROGRESSIVE FLOW ALOFT WILL CONTINUE INTO NEXT WEEK WITH THE NEXT
UPPER TROUGH PROGGED TO AMPLIFY OVER THE GREAT BASIN SUNDAY AND
EJECT ACROSS THE CENTRAL U.S. PLAINS MONDAY AHEAD OF YET ANOTHER
UPPER TROUGH.  MEDIUM RANGE MODEL SOLUTIONS PART WAYS MONDAY ON THE
AMPLITUDE AND SPEED OF THE INITIAL AND SECONDARY UPPER TROUGHS BY
EARLY NEXT WEEK AND HAVE TENDED THE FORECAST TOWARD HPCS
PREFERENCE...THE OPERATIONAL ECMWF AND ECMWF ENSEMBLES FROM SUNDAY
THROUGH THURSDAY.  THIS WILL DELAY THE ARRIVAL OF A COLD FRONT
MONDAY TO MONDAY NIGHT...WITH ANY COOL DOWN BRIEF AS THE PROGGED
SURFACE RIDGE MOVES EAST QUICKLY.

THE FORECAST LOOKS DRY THROUGH THE EXTENDED CONSIDERING THE ABOVE.
SURFACE LEE TROUGHING WILL COMMENCE SATURDAY...BUT ENOUGH OF THE
COLD SURFACE RIDGE WILL CLING TO THE AREA TO KEEP TEMPERATURES
BELOW NORMAL.  TEMPERATURES REBOUND BACK ABOVE NORMAL SUNDAY AS 850
HPA TEMPERATURES AND 1000-500 THICKNESSES RISE.  THE NEXT COLD FRONT
WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT IN THE WAKE OF THE NEXT UPPER
TROUGH PROGGED TO MOVE ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS MONDAY.  WILL COOL
TEMPS TUESDAY MORNING...THEN GO WITH AT OR ABOVE MEXMOS THEREAFTER.

FIRE WEATHER...
RFW CONDITIONS ARE DEVELOPING IN THE MTNS AND TRANS PECOS HOWEVER
FARTHER E INTO THE E PB/LOWER TRANS PECOS IT DOESN/T LOOK TOO LIKELY
AND HAVE OPTED TO CANCEL RFW E AND S. OTHERWISE RFW WILL CONTINUE
THRU 02Z ELSEWHERE THIS EVENING. WIDESPREAD POOR RH RECOVERY
THURSDAY MORNING WILL SET THE STAGE FOR ANOTHER CRITICAL FIRE WX
DAY. AS A SFC LOW FORMS OFF TO THE E IN ADVANCE OF A STRONG MID
LEVEL TROF WLY SFC WINDS WILL DEVELOP. WINDS IN THE 5KFT-10KFT LAYER
WILL AVERAGE AROUND 40KTS ACRS MUCH OF THE AREA AND WITH TEMPS N80
THERE IS EXPECTED TO BE A WELL MIXED LAYER AND SOME MOMENTUM
TRANSFER WILL RESULT IN WINDY CONDITIONS. AS SAID VERY DRY AIR WILL
ALREADY BE IN PLACE AND RH/S ARE EXPECTED TO BE BLO 10 PCT AND MAY
NEAR 5 PCT IN THE LOWER ELEVATIONS OF THE TRANS PECOS. STRONGEST
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE UPPER TRANS PECOS AND OF COURSE THE
DAVIS/GDP MTNS. ALL MODELS ARE PRETTY CONSISTENT WITH HAINES OF 5

WINDS IS THE POSITION OF 5H LOW NEAR THE 4 CORNERS AREA. A POSITION
THAT FAR TO THE W MAY KEEP LIFT ACRS THE AREA. ALSO WILL HAVE TO
