AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
442 AM CST SUN JAN 9 2011

.DISCUSSION...
AN UA TROUGH WAS MOVING EASTWARD OVER THE REGION EARLY THIS MORNING
WITH ALL THE ASSOCIATED PRECIPITATION WELL EAST OF THE FORECAST
AREA.  NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL COME TO PREVAIL OVER THE REGION
THIS AFTERNOON...THEN INCREASE TONIGHT AND MONDAY AS A STRONG
SHORTWAVE TROUGH WHEELS SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE ROCKIES AROUND A
LARGE CUTOFF LOW CURRENTLY OVER NORTHERN ROCKIES.  THERE WILL BE A
FEW FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS DUE TO THE WARMUP EXPECTED UNDER THE ABOVE
INFLUENCES...SO WILL ELABORATE IN THE FIRE WEATHER DISCUSSION BELOW.
AS MENTIONED...TEMPERATURES WILL WARM TODAY AS SOME OF THE WESTERLY
FLOW ALOFT MIXES DOWN TO THE SURFACE.  THE RESULTANT DOWNSLOPE WINDS
WILL AID IN WARMING TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL THIS
AFTERNOON.  WINDS MAY RISE TO 40 MPH OR GREATER FOR A FEW HOURS IN
GUADALUPE PASS THIS AFTERNOON...BUT THINK IT WILL BE A MARGINAL HIGH
WIND EVENT AND WILL NOT ISSUE A HIGH WIND WARNING.  THE
AFOREMENTIONED CUTOFF LOW WILL WOBBLE SOUTHEASTWARD AND BE LOCATED
OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS MONDAY AFTERNOON.  VERY COLD AIR UNDER AND
IN THE WAKE OF THE POTENT SHORTWAVE TROUGH SWINGING AROUND IT WILL
BE DRIVEN SOUTH TODAY AND TONIGHT...THEN INTO SOUTHEAST NEW
MEXICO...THE NORTHERN PERMIAN BASIN AND WESTERN LOW ROLLING PLAINS
LATE MONDAY AFTERNOON.

AHEAD OF THIS ARCTIC FRONT ON MONDAY...HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE
FAIRLY WARM AGAIN AS DOWNSLOPE WINDS AGAIN AID THE WARMUP.  THE ONLY
COOLING WILL LIKELY BE SEEN IN THE ABOVE MENTIONED LOCATIONS THAT
WILL BE FIRST IN LINE FOR THE COLD AIRMASS.  THE WEST/NORTHWEST LOW
ALOFT OVER THE REGION MAY RESULT IN STRONG WINDS IN THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS OF THE DAVIS MOUNTAINS MONDAY AFTERNOON...BUT WILL ALLOW
THE DAY SHIFT TODAY TO TAKE A PEEK BEFORE A HIGH WIND WATCH OR
WARNING IS ISSUED.  COLD AIR WILL OVERSPREAD MOST OF THE AREA MONDAY
NIGHT ON BRISK...GUSTY NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS DUE TO STRONG SURFACE
PRESSURE RISES AND A STRONG SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT BEHIND THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY.  HAVE LEFT THE STRONGER SURFACE WINDS INSERTED BY
THE PREVIOUS SHIFT FOR MONDAY NIGHT.  WILL ISSUE A HIGH WIND WATCH
FOR GUADALUPE PASS MONDAY NIGHT AS THE SAID SURFACE PRESSURE
GRADIENT AND COLD AIR DAMMING AGAINST THE HIGHER TERRAIN APPEARS TO
BE ENOUGH FOR SUSTAINED WINDS OF 40 MPH OR GREATER FOR SEVERAL HOURS
AS THE COLD AIR SQUEEZES THROUGH THE PASS.  THE HIGH WIND WATCH WILL
RUN FROM 10/06Z TO 10/18Z.

COLDER AIR WILL REMAIN OVER THE REGION TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WITH
READINGS ROUGHLY 15 TO 20 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.  ANOTHER LESS
AMPLIFIED SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS NOW INDICATED BY THE LATEST MODEL RUNS
TO MOVE ASHORE THE WEST COAST TUESDAY...THEN TRANSLATE OVER THE AREA
WEDNESDAY.  THERE ARE SOME INDICATIONS EASTERLY UPSLOPE FLOW ON THE
WESTERN FRINGE OF THE ARCTIC AIRMASS...ALONG WITH THE SAID WAVE...
COULD SQUEEZE OUT LIGHT PRECIPITATION OVER SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
...THE NORTHERN PERMIAN BASIN AND WESTERN LOW ROLLING PLAINS LATE
TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.  MORE THAN LIKELY IF THIS OCCURS...THE
PRECIPITATION WOULD FALL AS FREEZING DRIZZLE OR FREEZING RAIN.
SINCE THE AIRMASS IS SO DRY...AND THERE IS A WHOLE PASSEL OF
SOLUTIONS...WILL NOT ADD ANY MENTION IN THE FORECAST FOR NOW.  THE
COLD AIRMASS WILL TENACIOUSLY CLING TO THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT
AND THURSDAY...ALTHOUGH SOME OF THE HIGHER TERRAIN WILL LIKELY SEE
WARMER TEMPERATURES BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON.  ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROUGH
WILL DROP SOUTHEASTWARD OUT OF THE FOUR CORNERS REGION THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY...THEN OVER THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT.  IT DOES NOT APPEAR WE
WILL HAVE ENOUGH MOISTURE RETURN BY THEN FOR ANY MEANINGFUL
PRECIPITATION CHANCES.  THE FLOW ALOFT MAY STAY AMPLIFIED ENOUGH FOR
ANOTHER ARCTIC AIRMASS TO DROP IN THE AREA NEXT WEEKEND...BUT THERE
IS TOO MUCH UNCERTAINTY TO COOL TEMPERATURES OFF MUCH AT THIS TIME.

&&

.AVIATION...
NO MAJOR AVIATION CONCERNS NEXT 24 HRS...AS ALL TERMINALS VFR.  WV
IMAGERY SHOWS ALL BUT THE ERN CWA ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE UPPER
TROUGH...FOLLOWED BY WESTERLY SFC FLOW.  THIS SHOULD INCREASE AND
BECOME GUSTY BY LATE MORNING AS MIXING COMMENCES AND A SFC TROUGH
CONTINUES SINKING SOUTH INTO TEXAS.  WINDS SHOULD BACK TO SW AND
SLACKEN AFTER SUNSET.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
INCREASING WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT OVER THE REGION TODAY WILL RESULT IN
WESTERLY DOWNSLOPE WINDS AT THE SURFACE...AND WARMER TEMPERATURES.
A FEW LOCATIONS FROM THE LEE OF THE DAVIS MOUNTAINS ACROSS THE
STOCKTON PLATEAU AND TRANS PECOS COULD SEE AT LEAST NEAR CRITICAL
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS THIS AFTERNOON AS A RESULT.  SINCE IT IS NOT
CERTAIN WHETHER 20 MPH 20 FOOT WIND SPEEDS...OR RH/S AT OR BELOW 15
PERCENT WILL OCCUR FOR SEVERAL HOURS...WILL NOT ISSUE A RED FLAG
WARNING.  FUEL CONDITIONS ARE STILL IN BAD SHAPE THOUGH...SO ANY
FIRES THAT START WILL TEND TO RUN.

WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL BE A LITTLE STRONGER MONDAY.
SINCE TEMPERATURES ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE QUITE AS WARM...MINIMUM
AFTERNOON RH/S WILL LIKELY STAY ABOVE 15 PERCENT AREAWIDE.
HOWEVER...LOCATIONS ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 10 COULD HAVE NEAR
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS FROM LATE MONDAY MORNING THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON.
