.AVIATION...
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS ARE EXPECTED UNTIL THIS
AFTERNOON. A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MAKE ITS WAY INTO THE AREA BY
3Z. THE WIND WILL BECOME NORTHEASTERLY AND GUST UP TO AROUND 20
KNOTS. RAIN WILL ACCOMPANY THIS FRONT...AS WELL AS THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 356 AM CDT THU SEP 2 2010/

DISCUSSION...
ONE MORE HOT DAY TODAY BEFORE A STRONG COLD FRONT PLUNGES SOUTH
INTO THE REGION TONIGHT. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL REMAIN CONFINED
DURING THE DAY TO THE MOUNTAINS IN UPSLOPE FLOW AND ALONG A PREFRONTAL
TROUGH ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO PLAINS. PRECIPITATION CHANCES
WILL INCREASE TONIGHT INTO THE CHANCE CATEGORY NORTH OF THE PECOS RIVER
IN THE PERMIAN BASIN AND SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO AS THE AFOREMENTIONED
FRONT SLIDES INTO THE REGION. A FEW STORM COULD BE STRONG GIVEN
0-6KM SHEAR VALUES OF 20 KNOTS AND CAPES IN EXCESS OF 1000 J/KG
TONIGHT. STRONG LOW LEVEL COLD ADVECTION AND GRADIENT SUGGEST
HIGH WINDS POSSIBLE THROUGH GUADALUPE PASS BEHIND THE FRONT. WE
WILL ISSUE A HIGH WIND WATCH FROM 06Z FRIDAY UNTIL 18Z FRIDAY.

BETTER PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL SHIFT SOUTHWARD TOWARD THE TRANS
PECOS AND BIG BEND WITH THE FRONT FRIDAY. FORECAST 850 MILLIBAR
TEMPERATURE FORECASTS AND SOUNDINGS INDICATE HIGH TEMPERATURES
CONFINED TO THE 70S ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA EXCEPT
PORTIONS OF THE LOWER TRANS PECOS REGION...BIG BEND AND PRESIDIO
VALLEY. CLOUD COVER WILL LINGER SATURDAY MORNING AND SHOULD PREVENT
LOW TEMPERATURES FROM SETTING RECORDS.

LOOKS LIKE A QUIET WEEKEND AS THE AIRMASS RECOVERS TO NEAR NORMAL
TEMPERATURES WITH AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE PARKED OVER TEXAS. THE UPPER
HIGH IS FORECAST TO MOVE TO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY NEXT
MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY WITH A SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST MID LEVEL FLOW
DEVELOPING. THE UPPER HIGH IS FORECAST TO BE STRONGER ON THE GFS
WHICH WOULD FAVOR BETTER PRECIPITATION CHANCES ACROSS SOUTHEAST
NEW MEXICO AND THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF WEST TEXAS. THE ECMWF
SUGGEST A MORE WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION CHANCE DUE TO THE WEAKER
RIDGE. WILL FAVOR WESTERN SECTIONS WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS
AND STORMS BEGINNING TUESDAY AND GRADUALLY EXPAND IT EAST TOWARD
THE PERMIAN BASIN WEDNESDAY TO INCLUDE ALL OF THE FORECAST AREA
BY THURSDAY. EXPECTING NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES NEXT WEEK.
