AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
243 PM CDT SUN MAR 29 2009

.DISCUSSION...
MUCH TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT WITH AFTERNOON ISSUANCE AS NEXT UPPER
DISTURBANCE TO AFFECT WEST TEXAS/SE NEW MEXICO CURRENTLY RESIDES
ACROSS THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST. WESTERLY MID/UPPER FLOW EXISTS
ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON WITH MID-LEVEL FLOW EXPECTED TO
INCREASE THIS EVENING AS THE UPPER LOW DESCENDS INTO THE NORTHERN
ROCKIES. ENHANCED H70 FLOW IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS FEATURE WILL
BEGIN ENTERING THE REGION AFTER 00Z...ULTIMATELY LEADING TO HIGH
WIND CONCERNS ACROSS BOTH THE GUADALUPE AND DAVIS MOUNTAINS
OVERNIGHT. WRF12 CROSS SECTIONS THROUGH BOTH RANGES SHOW A
STRENGTHENING AGEOSTROPHIC ROTOR AND SUBSIDENCE OMEGA COUPLET.
BASED ON FAVORABLE WESTERLY MID-LEVEL WIND TRAJECTORIES...ALONG
WITH SUPPORTING MOS WIND SPEEDS...HAVE DECIDED TO EXTEND THE HIGH
WIND WARNING FURTHER SOUTH ACROSS THE DAVIS MOUNTAINS. WESTERLY
H85 FLOW OF 30KTS+ TO CONTINUE THIS EVENING SUGGESTING WINDS WILL
REMAIN UP ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA OVERNIGHT. THIS ALONG WITH LAST
NIGHT/S FAILURE TO BOTTOM OUT SUPPORTS GOING WITH THE WARMER
GUIDANCE NUMBERS FOR OVERNIGHT LOWS.

COLD FRONT TO BEGIN APPROACHING THE REGION TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
AHEAD OF THE FRONT...STRONG WESTERLY DOWNSLOPE FLOW ALONG WITH
VERY DRY CONDITIONS WILL LEAD TO ENHANCED FIRE WX CONCERNS ONCE
AGAIN. COMPRESSIONAL WARMING POTENTIAL ALONG WITH A WELL
DEVELOPED H85 THERMAL RIDGE WILL SUPPORT WARMING TEMPS ACROSS THE
REGION. FIRST OF TWO COLD FRONTS TO BE ON THE NORTHERN CWA/S
DOORSTEP BY 00Z TUE. FIRST WILL MOVE THROUGH EARLY EVENING WITH A
REINFORCING SHOT EXPECTED THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT...LEADING TO A
MORE PRONOUNCED NORTHERLY WIND SHIFT. COLD AIR ADVECTION INITIALLY
EXPECTED ON TUESDAY...ULTIMATELY LEADING TO NEAR NORMAL HIGH TEMPS
ACROSS THE AREA AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS IN CONTROL.
LEESIDE TROUGHING TO BECOME MORE FIRMLY ESTABLISHED BY TUE AFTERNOON
WITH A STRENGTHENING WESTERLY LLJ EXPECTED TO TAKE SHAPE
OVERNIGHT IN ADVANCE OF THE NEXT UPPER TROUGH. STRONG WESTERLY
DOWNSLOPE FLOW ALONG WITH INCREASING H70 FLOW ONCE AGAIN WILL LEAD
TO THE NEXT ROUND OF HIGH WIND CONCERNS ACROSS THE
MOUNTAINS ON WED...HOWEVER HAVE DECIDED TO HOLD OFF ON A WATCH FOR
NOW WITH CURRENT HEADLINES ALREADY IN PLACE. WELL DEVELOPED H85
THERMAL RIDGE EXPECTED ACROSS THE REGION BY WED ALLOWING TEMPS TO
WARM INTO THE 80S IN PRE-FRONTAL CONDITIONS.

EXTENDED (THU-SUN)

RATHER ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN CONTINUING THROUGH THE EXTENDED RANGE
AS ONE SYSTEM AFTER ANOTHER IS EXPECTED TO EJECT FROM THE
CENTRAL/NORTHERN ROCKIES. EXTENDED PERIOD WILL BEGIN ON THE HEALS OF
A DEPARTING UPPER-LEVEL SHORTWAVE EXITING THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WITH
POST-FRONTAL CONDITIONS EXPECTED ACROSS WEST TX/SE NM ON THU. BROAD
NWRLY MID-LEVEL FLOW TO GRADUALLY BECOME MORE ZONAL BY LATE THU AS
THE NEXT UPPER DISTURBANCE BEGINS WORKING INTO THE PAC NW. NWRLY SFC
WINDS TO BECOME MORE WESTERLY WITH TIME AS LEESIDE TROUGHING AGAIN
BECOMES ESTABLISHED ACROSS THE NM FRONT RANGE. THUS SOME
DOWNSLOPE/COMPRESSIONAL WARMING IS POSSIBLE...WHICH WILL LIKELY
OFFSET SOME OF THE COOLER HIGH TEMPS INTERPOLATED FROM EXPECTED H85
TEMPS. MARKED WARMING TREND WILL GET UNDERWAY THU NIGHT AS A SWRLY
LLJ OF 20-25KTS INDUCES STRONG WARM AIR ADVECTION ACROSS THE REGION
OVERNIGHT. AS A RESULT...WELL PRONOUNCED H85 THERMAL RIDGE WILL
EXTEND ACROSS THE REGION THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON FRI. HIGH WIND
CONCERNS ACROSS THE WEST TX/SE NM MOUNTAINS RESURFACE BY FRI AS
MID-LEVEL FLOW INCREASES IN ADVANCE OF THE ARRIVING UPPER TROUGH
FROM THE NORTHWEST. HIGH WIND POTENTIAL MAY BE OFFSET THROUGH THE
DAY ON FRI WITH STRONG LIFT IN ADVANCE OF APPROACHING WAVE...ALONG
WITH FAVORABLE LIFT GENERATED BY THE PASSING OF A 130KT H25 JET.
WILL HAVE TO WAIT ON ADDITIONAL MODEL RUNS TO PIN DOWN POSSIBLE HIGH
WIND CRITERIA FOR NOW. IN ANY EVENT...HAVE DECIDED TO INCREASE TEMPS
ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA ON FRI BASED ON EXCELLENT MODEL AGREEMENT
BETWEEN GFS AND ECMWF PROGS. CONCEIVABLE THAT UPPER 80S TO NEAR 90
WILL BE POSSIBLE AT KMAF BY FRI AFTERNOON. UPPER WAVE TO ENTER THE
REGION EARLY SAT WITH THE FIRST OF TWO COLD FRONTS TO PASS EARLY SAT
WITH A MORE PRONOUNCED REINFORCING SHOT EXPECTED SAT NIGHT/EARLY
SUN. SEASONAL TEMPS EXPECTED BEHIND THE FRONTAL WAVE SAT AFTERNOON
WITH MUCH BELOW AVERAGE TEMPS EXPECTED BY SUN BEHIND THE SECOND
FEATURE. STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION IN ASSOCIATION WITH BUILDING HIGH
PRESSURE ALONG THE ROCKEY MOUNTAIN FRONT RANGE IS LIKELY BY EARLY SUN.
WESTWARD EXTEND OF SURFACE RIDGE AXIS SUGGESTS THIS FRONT AND COLD
AIR MEAN BUSINESS...ADDING SUPPORT TO THE LOW H85 TEMPS BEING
SUGGESTED BY SUN AFTERNOON. WILL KEEP AFTERNOON HIGHS ON SUN BELOW
NORMAL FOR NOW.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
RFW CONDITIONS EXPECTED INTO THE EARLY EVENING HRS ACRS THE
PLAINS AS SLY WINDS MAY INCREASE IN ASSOCN WITH LOW LEVEL JET WITH
ANY HIGHER DWPNTS LAGGING EVEN FARTHER BEHIND. CRITICAL FIRE WX WILL
EXTEND TO NEAR THE MIDNIGHT HOUR IN THE GDP MTNS WHERE POOR RECOVERY
AND DEVELOPING HIGH WINDS ARE FORECAST.

CRITICAL/EXTREMELY CRITICAL FIRE WX CONDITIONS STILL LOOK FAVORABLE
MONDAY WITH DRYLINE WELL TO THE E...SFC LOW TO NE...AND W WIND AT
7H-5H. SOME UNCERTAINTY WRT 7H WIND SPEED MAX AS NAM INDICATES A
RATHER SUBSTANTIAL MINIMA ACRS S PLAINS WITH A SECONDARY 35-40KT
MAXIMA NOSING EWD FROM THE GDP MTNS. THE W WIND AT 7H-5H SUGGEST
BASE OF TROF PASSING LATE IN THE DAY. WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE OF A NW
7H WIND TO GET MORE INTO SUBSIDENCE ON BACKSIDE OF TROF. STILL MIXED
LAYER ON SOUNDINGS ARE IMPRESSIVE. MEANWHILE MOS GUIDANCE IS VERY
AGGRESSIVE WITH WINDS SPEED FORECAST. BASED ON 7H HGHT GRADIENT MOS
NUMBERS SEEM TO BE OVERDONE. THIS DOES LOOK LIKE A CASE WHERE MTN
WINDS MAY SPREAD E EARLY MONDAY MORNING WITH GUSTY W WINDS IN SE
NM/UPPER TRANS PECOS WELL BEFORE MAX HEATING. PACIFIC COLD FRONT AS
SEEN IN 85H THERMAL/WIND FIELD WILL TEND TO PASS THRU SE NM/NW PB
LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING BRINGING A WIND SHIFT FROM W TO NW
WHICH MAY EXTENDING CRITICAL FIRE WX CONDITIONS INTO THE EVENING.
EVEN THOUGH THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY WRT TO THE WIND SPEED RFW
CONDITIONS SHOULD EASILY BE MET AND WILL UPGRADE TO A RFW. SOME
AREAS WILL HAVE GREATER POTENTIAL TO HAVE A HIGH IMPACT FIRE WX DUE
TO DURATION AND INTENSITY CONCERNS.

NO END TO FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS THRU REMAINDER OF THE WORK WEEK AS
VERY DRY AIR REMAINS IN PLACE WITH UNSEASONALLY WARM TEMPS AND
PASSING TROF WED AND DEVELOPING SFC LOW IN ADVANCE OF ANOTHER TROF
