1251 PM CDT TUE MAR 31 2009

.DISCUSSION...
SEE AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW...

&&

.AVIATION...
WINDS WILL BACK TO THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST AT 10 TO 15KTS ACROSS THE
AREA AS A LEE TROUGH DEVELOPS ACROSS SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO AND WEST
TEXAS. WINDS WILL DECREASE OVERNIGHT AND THEN VEER TO THE WEST AND
INCREASE TO 15 TO 20KTS BY MID MORNING AS A SURFACE LOW MOVES INTO
THE TEXAS PANHANDLE. FEW TO SCATTERED CIRRUS CLOUDS CAN BE EXPECTED
OVERNIGHT ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA. VFR CONDITIONS FOR ALL SITES
THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 642 AM CDT TUE MAR 31 2009/

DISCUSSION...
12Z AVIATION FORECAST DETAILS PROVIDED BELOW.

AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS ALL TERMINALS FOR THE NEXT 24
HOURS. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED ACROSS WEST TEXAS THIS
MORNING WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT EASTWARD DURING THE AFTERNOON...WHILE
A LEE TROUGH BEGINS TO TAKE SHAPE ACROSS EASTERN NEW MEXICO AND
SOUTHWEST TEXAS. LIGHT NORTHERLY WINDS THIS MORNING WILL GRADUALLY
BECOME WEST TO SOUTHWEST AT SPEEDS OF 10-15 KNOTS...WITH A FEW
GUSTS NEAR 20 KNOTS THIS AFTERNOON. LOOK FOR WINDS TO BACK MORE
SOUTHERLY DURING THE EVENING WITH SPEEDS DECREASING TO AROUND 10
KNOTS.

21

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 431 AM CDT TUE MAR 31 2009/

DISCUSSION...
A SERIES OF UA TROUGHS WILL TRAVERSE THE CONUS THROUGH THE NEXT 7
DAYS AS A PROGRESSIVE PATTERN ALOFT PREVAILS.  THIS WILL RESULT IN
SOME COOL DOWNS...BUT MAINLY WARM AND WINDY CONDITIONS FOR SOUTHEAST
NEW MEXICO AND WEST TEXAS.  DRY FUELS AND A CONTINUING LACK OF
RAINFALL WILL CONTRIBUTE TO MORE FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS THROUGH MUCH
OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.  A PACIFIC COLD FRONT MOVING SOUTH OVER THE
REGION THIS MORNING IN THE WAKE OF ONE SUCH UA TROUGH WILL ALLOW
TEMPERATURES TO COOL NEAR NORMAL THIS MORNING WITH TEMPERATURES THIS
AFTERNOON REBOUNDING TO AROUND 5 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL LEVELS.  THE
FLOW ALOFT WILL TIGHTEN AGAIN WEDNESDAY AHEAD OF THE NEXT UA TROUGH
THAT WILL TAKE SHAPE OVER THE FOUR CORNERS REGION.  TEMPERATURES
WILL REBOUND ABOVE NORMAL DUE TO THE DRY AIR OVER THE REGION AND
DOWNSLOPE WINDS.  ANOTHER CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER DAY IS EXPECTED
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...BUT WILL COVER MORE OF THIS IN THE FIRE
WEATHER DISCUSSION BELOW.

EXPECT STRONG WINDS TO OCCUR IN THE GUADALUPE AND DAVIS MOUNTAINS
WEDNESDAY...AND SINCE CROSS SECTIONS YIELDED A MOUNTAIN WAVE
SIGNATURE AND ACCOMPANYING STRONG MID LEVEL WINDS BY 01/12Z...HAVE
MOVED THE HIGH WIND WATCH UP TO THIS TIME IN THE GUADALUPE
MOUNTAINS.  LEFT THE EXPIRATION OF THIS HIGH WIND WATCH AT 02/06Z...
BUT KEPT THE DAVIS MOUNTAINS WATCH FROM 01/15Z TO 02/06Z.  DESPITE
THE DIFFERENCE...THINK BOTH MOUNTAIN RANGES COULD SEE 40 TO 50 MPH
WITH GUSTS OVER 75 MPH.  A WIND ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED FOR THE
SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO PLAINS...AND MUCH OF WEST TEXAS ALONG AND NORTH
OF A MARFA...ALPINE AND FORT STOCKTON LINE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.  THE
ONLY DETRIMENTS TO THESE STRONGER WINDS BEING REALIZED WILL BE A
SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT THAT IS NOT TIGHT ENOUGH FOR SUCH WINDS
AND THE AMOUNT OF CLOUD COVER THAT DEVELOPS OVER THE REGION AHEAD OF
THE APPROACHING UPPER TROUGH.  WILL ALLOW LATER SHIFTS TO ASSESS AS
WE NEAR THE EVENT.  THE UPPER TROUGH WILL CUTOFF BY THURSDAY MORNING
AND PASS BY OVER THE TEXAS PANHANDLE.  ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL DROP
INTO THE AREA...AND HAVE INCLUDED A SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN OVER THE
WESTERN LOW ROLLING PLAINS IN IT/S WAKE.  CONSIDERING THE PATTERN OF
LATE HAVE SIDED WITH THE SLIGHTLY FURTHER NORTHWARD SOLUTIONS OF THE
NAM AND ECMWF...HENCE THE SLIGHT CHANCE.  THINK THERE WILL STILL BE
MUCH DRY AIR AT THE SURFACE FOR ANY PRECIPITATION THAT DEVELOPS TO
OVERCOME TO GO WITH ANY HIGHER POPS.

TEMPERATURES WILL COOL AGAIN THURSDAY BEHIND THE FRONT WITH AMBIENT
DRY CONDITIONS PREVAILING AS THE SAME PROCESS AS ABOVE REPEATS AHEAD
OF THE NEXT UPPER TROUGH THAT WILL DIG MAYBE A BIT FURTHER WEST THAN
WEDNESDAYS SYSTEM.  TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO WARM BACK ABOVE
NORMAL FRIDAY...WHILE INCREASED WINDS SATURDAY COULD RESULT IN WINDY
CONDITIONS AND INCREASED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS SATURDAY.  MODELS ARE
AT ODDS OVER THE TIMING OF THE NEXT FRONT IN THE SUNDAY AND MONDAY
TIME FRAME.  HAVE GONE WITH THE SLOWER FRONTAL ARRIVAL...WHICH WOULD
KEEP SUNDAY WARM...BUT DROP MONDAYS HIGHS BELOW MEXMOS GUIDANCE.
PROSPECTS OF RAINFALL STILL LOOK SLIM THROUGH DAY 7.

FIRE WEATHER...
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS WEST TEXAS EARLY THIS MORNING WILL
SHIFT EASTWARD THIS AFTERNOON AS A SURFACE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE
REDEVELOPS ACROSS EASTERN NEW MEXICO AND SOUTHWEST TEXAS. VERY DRY
AIR WILL REMAIN IN PLACE TODAY...WITH SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN THE
SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS ACROSS MOST LOCATIONS. THIS DRY AIR COMBINED
WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE 60S ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS AND 70S OVER
THE PLAINS WILL RESULT IN MINIMUM RH VALUES IN THE SINGLE DIGITS
OVER JUST ABOUT ALL AREAS. WIND SPEEDS WILL NOT BE AS STRONG ACROSS
THE PLAINS TODAY...WITH 20 FT SPEEDS GENERALLY REMAINING IN THE
10-15 MPH RANGE...WITH A FEW GUSTS OVER 20 MPH. HOWEVER...SLIGHTLY
STRONGER MID LEVEL WINDS WILL PROMOTE CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS ACROSS THE GUADALUPE AND DAVIS MOUNTAINS...AND WILL
UPGRADE THE PREVIOUS FIRE WEATHER WATCH TO A RED FLAG WARNING ACROSS
BOTH MOUNTAINS RANGES TODAY.

WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL STRENGTHEN ACROSS WEST TEXAS AND SOUTHEAST
NEW MEXICO WEDNESDAY AROUND THE BASE OF A DEEPENING UPPER TROUGH
THAT WILL BE LOCATED NEAR THE FOUR CORNERS REGION. THESE STRONGER
MID LEVEL WINDS WILL BE FORCED DOWNWARD ACROSS THE GUADALUPE AND
DAVIS MOUNTAIN RANGES. HIGH WINDS COMBINED WITH MINIMUM RH VALUES IN
THE SINGLE DIGITS WILL LIKELY BRING EXTREMELY CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS TO BOTH MOUNTAIN RANGES WEDNESDAY. WINDY AND VERY DRY
CONDITIONS WILL ALSO LIKELY BRING CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS
ACROSS ALL BUT THE PRESIDIO VALLEY...THE BIG BEND REGION AND TERRELL
COUNTY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. WE WILL CONTINUE THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH
FOR THESE LOCATIONS WEDNESDAY. IF PRESENT FORECAST TRENDS
CONTINUE...THESE FIRE WEATHER WATCHES WILL MORE THAN LIKELY BE
UPGRADED TO RED FLAG WARNINGS OVER THE NEXT 12-24 HOURS.
