AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
230 PM CST WED JAN 6 2010

.DISCUSSION...
CLEAR SKIES AND A SOUTHWEST SURFACE FLOW HAVE ALLOWED TEMPERATURES
TO WARM UP TO ABOVE NORMAL THIS AFTERNOON. ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
THE UPPER LEVEL LOW THAT WILL IMPACT THE AREA TONIGHT CAN BE SEEN
CURRENTLY OVER SOUTH DAKOTA. SURFACE OBSERVATIONS SHOW THE ARCTIC
COLD FRONT THAT IS BEING PUSHED BY THE UPPER LEVEL LOW IS LOCATED
OVER KANSAS. SUSTAINED NORTHWEST WINDS OF 30 KNOTS ARE
OCCURRING NEAR THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THE NAM AND GFS BRING THE COLD
FRONT INTO THE NORTHERN PORTION OF OUR CWA BY 03Z THURSDAY. AREAS OF
FREEZING DRIZZLE ARE EXPECTED IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE COLD FRONT.
LOOKING AT MODEL SOUNDINGS THE TEMPERATURES AT THE HEIGHTS AT WHICH
THE CLOUDS WILL BE FORMING WILL REMAIN ABOVE MINUS 10...KEEPING A
MAJORITY OF THE MOISTURE IN SUPER COOLED LIQUID FORM. AREAS OF
HIGHER ELEVATION WILL LIKELY SEE SOME AREAS OF FOG. THE EAST SLOPES
OF THE GUADALUPE AND DAVIS MOUNTAINS ARE EXPECTED EXPERIENCE
VISIBILITIES OF A QUARTER OF A MILE OR LESS DUE TO DENSE FREEZING
FOG. POST FRONTAL DEW POINTS WILL BE VERY LOW. ACCUMULATIONS OF ICE
DUE TO THE FREEZING FOG ARE EXPECTED TO BE VERY LIGHT AT THIS
TIME...THEREFORE A DENSE FOG ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED AS OPPOSED TO
A FREEZING FOG ADVISORY. NORTH WINDS OF 20 TO 30 KNOTS ARE EXPECTED
IN THE WAKE OF THIS COLD FRONT. THE POST FRONTAL SURFACE PRESSURE
GRADIENTS ARE TIGHT ENOUGH TO EXPECT 40 TO 45 MPH WINDS THROUGH
GUADALUPE PASS. THE HIGH WIND WATCH HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO A WARNING
FOR THAT AREA. THURSDAY MORNING LOW TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO
RANGE FROM THE UPPER TEENS TO LOWER TWENTIES ACROSS MUCH OF THE
CWA...WITH WIND CHILL VALUES IN THE SINGLE DIGITS. THE FRIGID ARCTIC
AIR AND CONTINUED CLOUD COVER WILL KEEP THURSDAYS HIGH TEMPERATURES
WILL BE IN THE UPPER TWENTIES TO LOWER THIRTIES. FOR THURSDAY NIGHT
AND FRIDAY MORNING THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE SHOWING PRECIP OVER THE
NORTHERN PORTION OF THE CWA...TO INCLUDE THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL
PERMIAN BASIN AND SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO. THE NAM DOES NOT SHOW
PRECIPITATION FOR THIS TIME FRAME. THAT AREA WILL BE IN THE VICINITY
OF THE RIGHT REAR QUADRANT OF THE JET. THE LIFT AND MOISTURE NEEDED
FOR SOME LIGHT PRECIPITATION TO FALL APPEAR TO BE THERE. 700MB OMEGA
FIELDS AND 1000-500MB RELATIVE HUMIDITIES APPEAR TO BE SUFFICIENT
ENOUGH. LOOKING AT MODEL SOUNDINGS THE ENTIRE COLUMN OF AIR IS BELOW
FREEZING...SO THE FORM OF PRECIPITATION FOR THIS TIME WILL BE SNOW.
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE LOW ON IN THESE SOUNDINGS...SO THE
ACCUMULATION SHOULD BE LESS THAN A HALF AN INCH. THE WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO BE LIGHT THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY MORNING...WHICH WILL
ALLOW THE LOW TEMPERATURE TO DROP EVEN FURTHER THAT NIGHT. WIND
CHILL VALUES WILL AGAIN BE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS. FORECASTED
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE TEENS ACROSS THE CWA. THE
CONTINUED CLOUD COVER FOR FRIDAY WILL KEEP THE HIGH TEMPERATURES
WELL BELOW NORMAL ONCE AGAIN. THE SKIES SHOULD BEGIN TO CLEAR FRIDAY
NIGHT...ALLOWING RADIATIONAL COOLING TO BRING TEMPERATURES BACK DOWN
INTO THE TEENS AND LOWER TWENTIES ACROSS THE CWA. WIND CHILL VALUES
WILL ONCE AGAIN BE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS. TEMPERATURES WILL FINALLY
BE ABLE TO WARM BACK UP SATURDAY AS A LEE SIDE TROUGH STARTS TO
BUILD BACK IN. A WEAK COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MAKE ITS WAY INTO
THE CWA MONDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLIGHTLY COOLER THAT DAY BEFORE
WARMING BACK UP TO AROUND NORMAL AGAIN.
