.DISCUSSION...UPDATED FOR LATEST AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW.

&&

.AVIATION...DAYTIME CU FIELD STARTING TO THIN OUT WITH LOSS OF
DAYTIME HEATING...AND SHOULD REMAIN MOSTLY CLEAR OVERNIGHT. TEMPO
BKN CIGS RIGHT AROUND 3000 FEET ARE POSSIBLE NEAR THE COAST NEAR
DAWN. WINDS WILL REMAIN AROUND 10 KNOTS AT ALL STATIONS
OVERNIGHT...KEEPING ANY FOG FROM FORMING. WINDS SLOWLY SHIFT
TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST DURING THE MORNING HOURS BEFORE THE COLD
FRONT BARRELS THROUGH DURING THE AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL ABRUPTLY
SHIFT TO THE NORTH AND JUMP TO 25G35KTS...ESPECIALLY FURTHER
INLAND FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE AFTERNOON. SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED
TO DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT...BUT COVERAGE WILL REMAIN SPOTTY AND
WILL FOCUS RIGHT ALONG THE FRONT...SO HAVE ONLY ADDED VCSH FOR THE
TIME BEING.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 317 PM CST FRI NOV 25 2011/

UPDATE...FIRE WEATHER UPDATE BELOW.

DISCUSSION...AFTER FURTHER DISCUSSIONS...HAVE DECIDED TO START
FIRE WEATHER WATCHES FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. WHILE RH VALUES ARE
NOT CURRENTLY EXPECTED TO QUITE REACH THE CRITICAL
THRESHOLD...THERE WILL BE A TIME PERIOD DURING THE AFTERNOON WHEN
THE FRONT PASSES THAT A SIGNIFICANT AND ABRUPT WIND SHIFT FROM
SOUTH TO NORTH WILL ARRIVE...BRINGING WINDS OF OF 20 TO 25 MPH AT
20FT. THIS WILL BRING ENHANCED WILD FIRE GROWTH THREAT...AND WILL
CAUSE MANAGEMENT ISSUES FOR ANY FIRE ALREADY BURNING WHEN THE
FRONT ARRIVES. THE SECOND WATCH FOR SUNDAY WILL BE FOR CRITICALLY
DRY RH VALUES. VALUES BELOW 15 PERCENT ARE EXPECTED FOR ALMOST THE
ENTIRE REGION FOR AT LEAST A 6 HOUR TIME PERIOD. WINDS WILL BE
LIGHTER THAN SATURDAY WITH THE FRONT...BUT WILL STILL BE A
HINDRANCE TO FIRE SUPPRESSION.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 228 PM CST FRI NOV 25 2011/

SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...THE BIG STORY IS
THE STRONG COLD FRONT SET TO MOVE THROUGH THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY
SATURDAY AFTERNOON. RIDGING IN THE NORTHWEST WILL PUSH EAST AND
SHIFT THE MID LEVEL TROUGH DRAPED ACROSS THE CENTRAL UNITED STATES
EASTWARD. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN MOVE INTO NORTHWEST TEXAS ON
SATURDAY. THE COLD FRONT SHOULD PASS THROUGH NORTHERN SECTIONS OF
THE CWA AROUND NOON AND MOVE THROUGH THE LOWER VALLEY BY LATE
SATURDAY AFTERNOON. GUSTY NORTH WINDS WILL OCCUR BEHIND THE FRONT.
A LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORM WILL ACCOMPANY THE FRONT...BUT
HAVE LOWERED PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON BASED ON
CONCURRENCE OF LATEST MODEL RUNS.

LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN THE
WAKE OF THE FRONT. HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL REMAIN CENTERED OVER
THE NORTHWEST GULF OF MEXICO WILL PROVIDE VERY PLEASANT CONDITIONS
WITH DRY WEATHER AND CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES THROUGH THURSDAY.
TEMPERATURES AT NIGHT WILL COOL TO BELOW NORMAL LEVELS FOR THIS
PERIOD. DAYTIME TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR NORMAL SUNDAY AND MONDAY
THEN WARM TO ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS TOWARDS THE END OF THE PERIOD. THE
NEXT COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE AREA ON FRIDAY.

MARINE /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...BREEZY SOUTHEAST WINDS
AND MODERATE SEAS WILL CONTINUE TODAY. SMALL CRAFT EXERCISE
CAUTION CONDITIONS MAY BE POSSIBLE TONIGHT AS THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT TIGHTENS. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE LOWER TEXAS
COASTAL WATERS SATURDAY AFTERNOON RESULTING IN QUICKLY
DETERIORATING CONDITIONS. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTH AND
INCREASE PRODUCING SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS ON THE GULF AND
GALE FORCE GUSTS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP BY LATE AFTERNOON. SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS WILL ALSO DEVELOP FOR THE LAGUNA MADRE.
A LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED WITH THIS FRONT.

SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...HAZARDOUS MARINE CONDITIONS WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH MOST OF SUNDAY AND INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. GALE AND
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WINDS AND SEAS WILL PERSIST IN THE WAKE OF
THE STRONG COLD FRONT ON SUNDAY. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING
ACROSS DEEP SOUTH TEXAS AND THEN OVER THE NORTHWEST GULF OF MEXICO
WHICH WILL RESULT IN A LONG PERIOD OF VERY FAVORABLE MARINE
CONDITIONS FROM MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. ADVERSE MARINE
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ON FRIDAY AS ANOTHER STRONG COLD FRONT
APPROACHES THE LOWER TEXAS COAST. &&

FIRE WEATHER...THE STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH DEEP SOUTH
TEXAS LATE SATURDAY. IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT...NORTH WINDS WILL BE
INCREASING HOWEVER...THE MUCH DRIER AIR MASS WILL BE SLOW TO FILTER
INTO THE RIO GRANDE VALLEY. RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL LIKELY
REMAIN TOO HIGH AND ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN ABOVE FIRE WEATHER WATCH
OR RED FLAG WARNING CRITERIA LEVELS. MUCH DRIER AIR WILL BE IN PLACE
ACROSS DEEP SOUTH TEXAS ON SUNDAY WITH RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES IN
THE TENS TO TEENS. HOWEVER...20-FOOT WINDS IS NOT EXPECTED TO MEET
THE CRITERIA FOR A RED FLAG WARNING...THUS THE RANGELAND FIRE
DANGER STATEMENT WILL LIKELY BE ISSUED ON THAT DAY.
