AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LUBBOCK TX
422 AM CDT SAT APR 9 2011

...DANGEROUS FIRE WEATHER THIS WEEKEND...

.SHORT TERM...
IN SHORT...THE FIRE DANGER CONTINUES TO INCREASE ACROSS WEST TEXAS.
ELONGATED UPPER LOW WITH H5 HEIGHTS OF 540 DAM SITUATED FROM SOCAL
INTO IDAHO. TO OUR SOUTHEAST...A H590 HIGH IS LOCATED OVER THE
GULF OF MEXICO AND OF COURSE...WE ARE IN BETWEEN. THE LOW WILL
SLIDE EASTWARD TODAY THUS INCREASING OUR WINDS ALOFT. H7 HEIGHT
GRADIENTS ARE RUNNING AROUND 60M-70M/200NM WHICH WOULD SUGGEST
WINDS IN THE 25-35 MPH RANGE THIS AFTERNOON AND POSSIBLY JUST A
BIT HIGHER. CONFIDENCE IN THESE WIND SPEEDS ARE MUCH HIGHER WEST
OF THE ESCARPMENT WHERE 500-1000 FT LESS DOWNWARD MIXING IS
REQUIRED. WILL THEREFORE ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY MAINLY ON THE LLANO
ESTACADO FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND TODAY IN ADDITION TO THE RED FLAG
WARNING WHICH WILL COVER THE ENTIRE CWFA. THE SITUATION BOTH TODAY
AND TOMORROW...FROM A FIRE WEATHER PERSPECTIVE...SHOULD NOT BE
TAKEN LIGHTLY. THE FUELS ARE EXTREMLY VOLATILE AND THE FIRE ONGOING
IN KING COUNTY HIGHLIGHTS THE CONCERN.

INTO THIS EVENING...DRYLINE IS PROGGED TO RETREAT WESTWARD DURING
THE EVENING HOURS AND MODELS BREAK OUT LIGHT QPF ALONG THE
BOUNDARY.  ANALYSIS OF FCST SOUNDINGS REVEAL AREA OF ELEVATED
INSTABILITY AROUND 500MB WHERE SOME HIGHER MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO
BE FOUND.  AT THIS POINT...CAPE FROM 200 TO 500 J/KG WITH
SIGNIFICANT DOWNWARD ACCELERATION POTENTIAL LOOKS PLAUSIBLE. THE
PRESENCE OF PARTICULATES FROM SMOKE ACROSS THE EASTERN ZONES MAY
VERY WELL INCREASE LIKELIHOOD OF CLOUD/PRECIP FORMATION AS WELL AS
CHARGE ACCUMULATION.  IF ELEVATED CONVECTION DOES FORM...THIS MAY
RESULT IN A FEW DRY LIGHTNING FLASHES WHICH HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO
INITIATE NEW FIRES THIS EVENING IN ADDITION TO THE DRY DOWNBURST
POTENTIAL. AFTER MIDNIGHT...THE DRYLINE BEGINS TO SURGE EASTWARD
AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING UPPER LOW BEFORE ANOTHER DANGEROUS FIRE
WEATHER DAY SUNDAY.

&&

.LONG TERM...
A PROLONGED PERIOD OF CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER WILL BE PUNCTUATED BY
PROSPECTS FOR A DANGEROUS WIND/DUST/FIRE EVENT SUNDAY...STEMMING
FROM A DEEP UA LOW NOW OVER THE SOCAL COAST.

BY 12Z SUNDAY...THE POTENT UA LOW WILL BE EJECTING NORTHEASTWARD
OVER THE SOUTHERN/CENTRAL ROCKIES...AS STRONG CYCLOGENESIS OCCURS
OVER SOUTHERN NEBRASKA/NORTHERN KANSAS. LOW/MID LEVEL WIND FIELDS
WILL HAVE ALREADY VEERED OVER THE FA...SHUNTING THE DRYLINE AND
ASSOCIATED LOW RAIN PROBS EAST DURING THE PRE-DAWN HOURS. ALL
INDICATIONS SUGGEST THAT MUCH OF WEST TEXAS WILL THEN BECOME
SUBJECTED TO INTENSE DRY SLOTTING/SUBSIDENT DOWNSLOPE AND LOW-MID
LEVEL WIND MAXIMA. THE INFLUX OF PAC AIR AND DECREASING HEIGHTS/
THICKNESSES WILL RESULT IN RELATIVELY COOLER DAYTIME TEMPERATURES...
BUT THE MAGNITUDE OF DOWNSLOPE AND FULL INSOLATION WILL COMPENSATE
SOMEWHAT AND EARLY AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES SHOULD TOP OUT FROM THE
LOW 60S WEST TO AROUND 80 DEGREES EAST. BETTER MSLP/HEIGHT GRADIENTS
TRANSIT THE AREA DURING THE MORNING-MIDDAY HOURS...SO AN EARLY ONSET
OF HIGH WINDS SEEMS LIKELY. GIVEN THIS EARLY TRANSIT OF THE STRONGEST
LOW-TROP WINDS...PREDICTING MAX SUSTAINED SPEEDS IS DIFFICULT.
CURRENT HIGH WIND WATCH FOR POTENTIAL WIDESPREAD SUSTAINED SPEEDS
OF 30-40 MPH WITH GUSTS NEAR 60 MPH SEEMS REASONABLE GIVEN 90-100KT
500MB JET PROGGED TO OVERSPREAD THE PANHANDLE/SOUTH PLAINS BY 18-00Z...
AND THIS IS SUPPORTED BY MOS GUIDANCE WINDS BETWEEN 31-33KT. LOCAL
STUDIES SUGGEST THIS JET ALSO MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE GREATEST
LIKELIHOOD OF DENSE BLOWING DUST. WINDS WILL DECREASE/VEER LATE SUNDAY
NIGHT IN THE WAKE OF THE PASSING UA TROUGH AXIS.

UA RIDGE AXIS WILL TRANSLATE OVER WEST TEXAS MONDAY...BRINGING MILD
TEMPERATURES WITH DECREASED WINDS. SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL
BECOME RE-ESTABLISHED TUESDAY IN ADVANCE OF A PROGRESSIVE UA
SHORTWAVE PROGGED TO PASS THE REGION WEDNESDAY. MODELS CONTINUE TO
DIFFER SOMEWHAT IN SPEED/DEPTH OF THIS FEATURE...BUT IT MAY BRING
OUR NEXT BOUT OF FIRE WEATHER AND POSSIBLY EVEN MINIMAL SHOWER/
THUNDER CHANCES TO PARTS OF THE NORTH/EAST FA. SOLUTIONS SEEM TO
AGREE A BIT MORE ON FROPA THURSDAY...WITH BENIGN SURFACE RIDGING
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
THIS WEEKEND/S FIRE WEATHER SITUATION ACROSS THE WEST TEXAS SOUTH
PLAINS IS PRECEDED BY 1/ AN ONGOING MASSIVE AND LONG-LIVED WILDFIRE
IN STONEWALL/KING COUNTIES WHICH HAS ALREADY CONSUMED AN ESTIMATED
100,000 ACRES SINCE WEDNESDAY AND 2/ WIDESPREAD FUEL DRYNESS CHARACTERIZED
BY TFS AOA 97TH PERCENTILE SEVERITY. THIS UNDERSCORES THE SERIOUSNESS
OF ANTICIPATED WEATHER.

DAY 1...SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS CONTINUE TODAY WITH GUSTY WINDS APPROACHING
20 TO 30 MPH AT 20 FOOT HEIGHTS. PRESENT INDICATIONS THAT AREAS ON THE
LLANO ESTACADO WILL HAVE THE STRONGEST WIND SPEEDS WITH PERHAPS 5 TO
10 MPH LOWER SPEEDS ACROSS THE ROLLING PLAINS. MIN RH VALUES LOOK TO
BOTTOM OUT IN THE 10 PERCENT RANGE AREAWIDE. WITH THE EXTREMELY CRITICAL
FUEL CONDITIONS...TODAY HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR EASY IGNITION/RAPID FIRE
SPREAD. OVERNIGHT RH RECOVERIES WILL BE BETTER IN THE EAST WHERE RH
VALUES NEAR 60 PCT MAY BE REALIZED WHEREAS ACROSS THE WEST 30-40 PCT
RH MAY BE ALL THE RECOVERY EXPECTED. MANAGEMENT OF ONGOING FIRE IN
KING/STONEWALL COUNTIES WILL BE A CHALLENGE TODAY AS THESE WINDS PICK
UP AND LOFTING OF FIREBRANDS FROM THIS ACTIVITY COULD PRESENT A PROBLEM
DOWNWIND. AFTER DARK...AREA OF ELEVATED MOISTURE IS EXPECTED ACROSS
THE AREA AS THE DRYLINE RETREATS WEST ACROSS THE AREA. THERMODYNAMIC
PROFILES LOOK SUPPORTIVE OF ELEVATED INSTABILITY ABOVE 15000 FT
THIS EVENING ACROSS THE ROLLING PLAINS/SERN TX PANHANDLE. PARTICULATES
FROM ONGOING FIRES MAY BE ENOUGH TO TRIGGER DRY LIGHTINING. UNDER
ANY SHOWERS WHICH DEVELOP...VERY GUSTY WINDS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE.

DAY 2...A SYNOPTIC WEATHER PATTERN SUPPORTIVE OF A SOUTHERN PLAINS
WILDFIRE OUTBREAK WILL OCCUR SUNDAY. THE FA APPEARS TO BE AFFECTED
BY EXTREMELY CRITICAL CONDITIONS THEN AS INTENSE LOW-MID LEVEL WIND
MAXIMA OVERSPREAD AN EASTWARD ADVECTING VERY DRY PAC AIRMASS AND
THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF A PRONOUNCED LOW LEVEL THERMAL RIDGE FROM
CENTRAL OK SOUTHWESTWARD TOWARD THE BIG COUNTRY. SUB-SEASONAL TEMPS
OVER THE WESTERN ZONES MAY PROVE TO BE A NEGATING FACTOR FOR WIDESPREAD
SIG FIRE ACTIVITY...BUT HIGH WINDS...EXTREME FUELS...AND DRY AIR APPEAR
SUFFICIENT TO PROMOTE WEATHER SUPPORTIVE OF WIND-DRIVEN GRASSFIRES...
ESPECIALLY OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE FA WHERE AOA NORMAL TEMPS WILL
OCCUR. WHILE A LOW-PROB EVENT...IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT IF HIGH-BASED
CONVECTION DEVELOPES TONIGHT OVER THE ROLLING PLAINS...THE THREAT OF
FIRE MAY AMPLIFY WITH THE ONSET OF EXTREMELY CRITICAL CONDITIONS SUNDAY
DUE TO SMOLDERING LIGHTNING STARTS.
