AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
411 AM CDT THU MAR 26 2009

.DISCUSSION...
THE COMBINATION OF A NORTHERN STREAM COLD FRONT AND A SOUTHERN STREAM
UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE AREA WILL RESULT IN SOME UNSETTLED WEATHER
THROUGH FRIDAY. DECENT WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL COVER THE FORECAST
AREA SOUTH OF THE AFOREMENTIONED SOUTHERN STREAM SYSTEM. HAVE
UPGRADED THE HIGH WIND WATCH TO A HIGH WIND WARNING FOR TODAY AND
TONIGHT FOR THE GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS AS AN UPPER LEVEL JET NOSES
OVER THAT AREA. HAVE ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY FOR THIS AFTERNOON
FOR THE EDDY COUNTY PLAINS...HIGHWAY 54 CORRIDOR INCLUDING VAN
HORN AND NORTHERN LEA COUNTY AS THE SURFACE GRADIENT ALSO INCREASES
LATER TODAY. HAVE ALSO ISSUED A HIGH WIND WARNING TONIGHT FOR THE
DAVIS MOUNTAINS ABOVE 6000 FEET AS THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER JET
SINKS SOUTH AS THE UPPER LOW DIGS THROUGH NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NEW
MEXICO. HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL RISE TO SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL IN DOWNSLOPE FLOW.

THE NORTHERN STREAM WILL PUSH A STRONG COLD FRONT THROUGH AT LEAST
THE WESTERN HALF OF THE REGION TONIGHT. AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW
APPROACHES OUT OF NEW MEXICO KEPT THE SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN OR
SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS FAR NORTHERN EDDY AND LEA COUNTY PLAINS
AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT BEHIND THE COLD FRONT. THE UPPER LOW WILL
TAKE A MORE EASTWARD JOG FRIDAY JUST NORTH OF THE PERMIAN BASIN.
THIS TRACK ACROSS WEST TEXAS LOOKS REASONABLE AS THE STRONGEST
UPPER LEVEL WINDS ALOFT BY FRIDAY MORNING IS FORECAST TO BE ON THE
SOUTH SIDE OF THE LOW. CONTINUED TO MENTION A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO PLAINS AND
THE EXTREME NORTHERN PERMIAN BASIN CLOSEST TO THE TRACK OF THE
SYSTEM DURING THE DAY FRIDAY.

THE UPPER LOW WILL MOVE AWAY FROM THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT WITH COLD
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE FOLLOWING IN ITS WAKE. TEMPERATURES BY
SATURDAY MORNING WILL BE NEAR FREEZING OVER A SIGNIFICANT PORTION
OF THE COUNTY WARNING AREA. IF THE UPPER LOW MOVES EAST FAST
ENOUGH...CLEARING WILL TAKE PLACE AND FREEZING TEMPERATURES COULD
BE REALIZED. LATER SHIFTS WILL NEED TO MONITOR.

A WARMING TREND WILL BEGIN SATURDAY AND CONTINUE THROUGH SUNDAY AS
A NORTHWEST TO WEST FLOW ALOFT RETURNS. AFTER A COOL SATURDAY AND
SATURDAY NIGHT HIGH TEMPERATURES BY SUNDAY WILL BE WELL ABOVE
NORMAL AGAIN.

ANOTHER UPPER LOW WILL DIVE OUT OF THE NORTHERN ROCKIES INTO THE
NORTHERN/CENTRAL PLAINS MONDAY AND DRAG A COLD FRONT INTO THE
REGION MONDAY WITH TEMPERATURES FALLING BACK TO NEAR NORMAL MONDAY
AND TUESDAY. WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL RETURN AGAIN NEXT
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AGAIN.
