AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LUBBOCK TX
409 AM CST WED FEB 9 2011

.SHORT TERM...
AT 330 AM...SNOWFALL IS DIMINISHING FAIRLY QUICKLY ACROSS THE FA. VERY
LIGHT SNOW IS BEING REPORTED AT CHILDRESS AND LUBBOCK WHILE RADAR
INDICATES THAT A BAND OF SOMEWHAT HEAVIER SNOW STRETCHES FROM LEA
CTY NM AND YOAKUM AND TERRY COUNTIES IN OUR SOUTHWEST ZONE TO
DICKENS AND KIND COUNTIES IN THE ROLLING PLAINS. THIS BAND IS MOVING
TO THE EAST-SOUTHEAST. WHILE A FEW SNOW SHOWERS OR FLURRIES ARE
POSSIBLE ANYWHERE ACROSS THE AREA FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS...THE
THREAT OF ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL SHOULD RESIDE WITH THIS BAND. EVEN
UNDER THIS BAND...NEW SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS UP TO AN INCH APPEAR TO
BE ABOUT THE TOP END. HOWEVER...GIVEN THAT THE SNOW WILL BE BLOWING
AROUND AND DRIFTING LIKELY CAUSING SOME TRAVEL PROBLEMS...WE WILL
CONTINUE THE WINTER WX ADVISORY FOR THE SRN ROLLING PLAINS AS FAR
WEST AS GARZA COUNTY...AND END THE WINTER STORM WARNING AND WINTER
WX ADVISORY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FA.

THE WINTER WX ELEMENT THAT WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE THE MOST IMPACT
ACROSS THE AREA IS THE DANGEROUSLY COLD WIND CHILLS. AT 330 AM..WIND
CHILLS RANGE FROM -15 TO -25 ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA...EXCEPT FOR
THE FAR SE SPLNS AND SRN ROLLING PLAINS...WHERE THE WIND CHILL
READINGS WERE GENERALLY IN THE -5 TO -15 DEGREE RANGE. WIND SPEEDS
WERE GENERALLY IN THE 25 TO 35 MPH RANGE WITH AIR TEMPS NEAR ZERO
NORTH TO NEAR 10 SOUTH. THE TEMPS AND WINDS WILL ONLY VERY SLOWLY
MODERATE THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS AND AS SUCH WE WILL CONTINUE THE
WIND CHILL WARNING FOR MOST LOCATIONS WITH AN ADVISORY FOR THE SRN
ROLLING PLAINS. WE WILL RUN IT THROUGH 15Z...BEYOND THAT...AN
ADVISORY MIGHT STILL BE NEEDED FOR A PERIOD MAINLY FOR THE NRN ZONES
DEPENDING ON HOW FAST TEMPS RISE AND WINDS FALL.

OTHERWISE...WE SHOULD SEE A GRADUAL CLEARING TREND TODAY WITH HIGHS
FROM UPPER TEENS NORTH TO UPPER 20S SW. IT IS DIFFICULT TO SAY AT
THIS POINT HOW WIDESPREAD THE SNOW IS ACROSS THE NRN ZONES - BUT 1
TO 3 INCHES APPEARS TO BE A GOOD ESTIMATE...AND THIS WILL HELP KEEPS
TEMPS DOWN ACROSS THIS AREA. THE WIND WILL FINALLY BEGIN TO REALLY
SLACKEN BY LATE AFTERNOON AND WILL BECOME LIGHT OVERNIGHT. THE LIGHT
WINDS...DRY AIR...AND MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES WILL ALLOW TEMPS TO REALLY
DROP. LOWS SHOULD BE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS MOST LOCATIONS WITH
PERHAPS ZERO TO 5 BELOW ACROSS THE NW WHERE SOME SNOW PACK SHOULD
REMAIN.

&&

.LONG TERM...
THE LONG TERM FORECAST WILL SEE MOSTLY QUIET WEATHER. THERE WILL
BE SEVERAL WEAK SHORT WAVES TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH
MONDAY. HOWEVER...ANY OF THESE WAVES WILL HAVE LITTLE TO NO EFFECT
ON THE WEATHER WITH NO MOISTURE AVAILABLE. THE UPPER RIDGE OVER
THE WESTERN CONUS WILL BREAK DOWN AND MOVE EAST WITH UPPER FLOW
BECOMING ZONAL BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE AREA WILL THEREFORE SEE LEE
SIDE TROUGHING THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH A SIGNIFICANT WARMUP
THROUGH SUNDAY. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH EARLY ON
MONDAY WHICH MAY HOLD TEMPERATURES BACK A LITTLE. THE EFFECTS OF
THE FRONT WILL BE SHORT LIVED WITH A RETURN TO LEE TROUGHING ON
TUESDAY. JDV
