AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LUBBOCK TX
501 AM CDT SUN APR 10 2011

.SHORT TERM...
...DANGEROUS HIGH WIND/WILDFIRE EPISODE EXPECTED TODAY...

DAMAGING/LIFE THREATENING WILDFIRE EVENT POSSIBLE TODAY...AS HIGH
WINDS...BLOWING DUST...AND A CONTINUED OUTBREAK OF WILDFIRES IS
ANTICIPATED.

UPPER LEVEL LOW ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN EARLY THIS MORNING HAS
BEGUN ITS RAPID EJECTION INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS. UL JET MAX
REGION IS JUST NOW BEGINNING TO IMPINGE UPON WEST TEXAS. THE
STRENGTH OF THIS SYSTEM REMAINS IMPRESSIVE WITH H7 HEIGHT
GRADIENTS OF 90-100M/200NM WHICH SHOULD SUPPORT WINDS OF NEAR OR
ABOVE 40 MPH ACROSS THE LLANO ESTACADO. LATEST 12KM NAM HAS
INCREASED H7 WINDS OVERHEAD TO THE 60-65 KT RANGE AT 18Z.
EXPERIENCE DICTATES THAT MOS IS UNDERPLAYING SFC WIND SPEEDS AND
THUS BUMPED SPEEDS UP ACCORDINGLY. HAVE ISSUED A HIGH WIND WARNING
FOR AREAS GENERALLY WEST OF THE CAPROCK ESCARPMENT. A WIND
ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE ROLLING PLAINS AND
EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN TEXAS PANHANDLE. WITH THE DRY AIR EXPECTED
THIS AFTERNOON AND COMPRESSIONAL DOWNSLOPE HEATING UNDER MOSTLY
CLEAR SKIES...RED FLAG WARNING CONTINUES TO BE WELL JUSTIFIED. IN
FACT...CANNOT OVEREMPHASIZE THE CONCERN FOR ADDITIONAL FIRES TODAY
PARTICULARLY WITH FCST WIND SPEEDS THAT HAVE A HISTORY OF DOWNING
POWER LINES/POLES. FUELS ARE ABOUT AS CRITICAL AS THEY GET OUT HERE
AND IGNITIONS WILL BE EASY TO OBTAIN. WINDS WILL MAKE CONTROL OF
ANY FIRES DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE. ALONG WITH THE HIGH WINDS...
HAVE ISSUED A BLOWING DUST ADVISORY WITH THE SAME SPATIAL COVERAGE
AS THE HIGH WIND WARNING. WINDS SHOULD BEGIN TO SUBSIDE AROUND
SUNSET ALTHOUGH HAVE CONCERNS REGARDING WIND SPEEDS BEHIND
CANADIAN FRONT DUE IN LATE THIS EVENING. NAM AND GFS BOTH HINT AT
3HR SFC PRESSURE RISES IN THE 7-8 MB RANGE SUGGEST POTENTIAL FOR
GUSTY WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT. THEREFORE...IT IS CONCEIVABLE THAT A
WIND ADVISORY MAY BE REQUIRED AFTER EXPIRY OF THE HWW. WILL ALSO
WANT TO KEEP A CLOSE WATCH ON ELEVATED CONVECTION WHICH COULD
DEVELOP THIS EVENING....PARTICULARLY IN THE NORTHEAST...AS MID
LEVEL MOISTURE...COINCIDENT WITH SHALLOW AREA OF CAPE MAY LEAD TO
VIRGA SHOWERS IN THERMODYNAMIC PROFILE SUPPORTIVE OF DOWNBURSTS AS
THE TROUGH AXIS PASSES OVERHEAD.

&&

.LONG TERM...
BY 12Z MONDAY TODAY/S PASSING UA SYSTEM WILL BE QUICKLY EJECTING
EASTWARD...AND WILL PROGRESS TOWARD THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY BY
AFTERNOON. A DRY/MILD PAC AIRMASS WILL RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHERN
ROCKIES AND SETTLE OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS IN THE WAKE OF THIS
FEATURE. THUS BENIGN WEATHER IS ANTICIPATED AS AN UA RIDGE AXIS
TRANSLATES OVER WEST TEXAS THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL BECOME RE-ESTABLISHED OVER THE
REGION IN ADVANCE OF THE NEXT SHORTWAVE TROUGH PROGGED APPROACH
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS MIDWEEK. THIS FEATURE WILL BRING BREEZY
DOWNSLOPE WINDS ATOP A DRY AIRMASS...HOWEVER...INDICATIONS ARE
THAT FIRE WEATHER WILL NOT BE AS SEVERE AS AT CURRENT. MEDIUM
RANGE SOLUTIONS CONTINUE TO SHOW A FRONTAL PASSAGE LATE IN THE
WORK WEEK/EARLY WEEKEND AS THE UA PATTERN AMPLIFIES.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
IN SHORT...TODAY IS A PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR FIRE WEATHER
ACROSS WEST TEXAS WITH THE EXTREME NATURE OF THE FUELS BEING A KEY
FACTOR IN ADDITION TO THE ALREADY HIGH END FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS.
AREAS WEST OF THE CAPROCK ESCARPMENT SHOULD SEE SUSTAINED WINDS IN
THE 40 MPH RANGE WITH SLIGHTLY LOWER SPEEDS ACROSS THE ROLLING
PLAINS. WIND GUSTS TO 60 AND POSSIBLY HIGHER REMAIN A FACTOR.
AFTERNOON RH VALUES WILL DIP TO BETWEEN 5 AND 15 PCT DESPITE
AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPS RUNNING SOME 10 TO 20 DEGREES COOLER THAN
YESTERDAY AS THE RESULT OF VERY DRY AIR MIXING DOWN FROM ALOFT.
FCST WIND SPEEDS HAVE A HISTORY OF SNAPPING POWER LINES WHICH CAN
CONTRIBUTE TO ADDITIONAL STARTS. WINDS SHOULD REMAIN PRIMARILY
WESTERLY TODAY UNTIL THE EVENING HOURS WHEN A COLD FRONT MOVES
INTO THE REGION SHIFTING WINDS TO THE NORTHWEST. WIND SPEEDS NEAR
20 MPH INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS ON MONDAY SHOULD BE COMMON BUT
WITH THE FCST PRESSURE RISES FORECAST BEHIND THE FRONT...WE WILL
HAVE TO CLOSELY MONITOR FOR HIGHER WINDS.
