AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
252 PM CDT THU MAR 31 2011

.DISCUSSION...
RAIN CHANCES CONTINUE TO NOT LOOK TOO GOOD...BUT FIRE WEATHER
CONCERNS DO.  NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT OVER THE AREA TODAY WILL BE
REPLACED BY A FLAT UPPER RIDGE SATURDAY...THEN INCREASING SOUTHWEST
FLOW ALOFT AS A UA TROUGH FORMS OVER THE WEST COAST DURING THE NEXT
FEW DAYS.  THIS WILL RESULT IN WARMING TEMPERATURES FRIDAY OVER
TODAY...THEN WARMER STILL SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.  TEMPERATURES WILL
WARM NEARLY 20 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...WITH
RECORD HIGHS LIKELY BEING SURPASSED BOTH DAYS DUE TO A LOW LEVEL
THERMAL RIDGE EXPANDING OVER THE AREA AND DOWNSLOPE WINDS BOTH DAYS.
THE RECORD HIGH FOR MIDLAND INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT SATURDAY...APRIL
2ND IS 89 DEGREES SET IN 1994.  THE RECORD HIGH FOR SUNDAY...APRIL
3RD AT MIDLAND IS 94 IN 1946.  PLEASE SEE THE FIRE WEATHER
DISCUSSION BELOW FOR FURTHER DETAILS ON CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS.  WINDS ALOFT APPEAR TO BE STRONG ENOUGH SUNDAY FOR HIGH
WINDS IN THE GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS.  THEREFORE...WILL ISSUE A HIGH
WIND WATCH FOR THE GUADALUPES SUNDAY.  WIND SPEEDS ACROSS THE
LOWLANDS COULD RISE TO 20-30 MPH WITH A FEW HIGHER GUSTS...BUT
SUBSEQUENT SHIFTS MAY HAVE TO ADJUST THESE.

AFTER THE UNSEASONABLY HOT TEMPERATURES THIS WEEKEND...THE SAID WEST
COAST TROUGH WILL TREK EASTWARD.  DISAGREEMENT ON IT'S PATH AND
TIMING IS GREAT...SO A STRONG COLD FRONT COULD DROP SOUTH OVER THE
AREA SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING...OR AS LATE AS MONDAY NIGHT
AND TUESDAY.  HAVE GONE WITH THE FASTER UA TROUGH SOLUTION DISPLAYED
BY THE MORE CONSISTENT ECMWF...WHICH ALSO HAS SOME SUPPORT FROM GFS
AND ECMWF ENSEMBLES.  THEREFORE...HAVE COOLED TEMPERATURES BELOW MOS
GUIDANCE SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY...THEN WARMED READINGS ABOVE MOS
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AS THE SURFACE RIDGE SCOOTS EASTWARD AND A LEE
SURFACE TROUGH DEVELOPS INTO THE AREA UNDER INCREASING WESTERLY FLOW
ALOFT AGAIN.  RAIN CHANCES WILL REMAIN VERY POOR THROUGH MUCH OF
NEXT WEEK AS WARM...IF NOT HOT...TEMPERATURES RETURN BY MIDWEEK.  IF
THE SLOWER AND DEEPER UA TROUGH COMES ABOUT SUNDAY NIGHT AND
MONDAY...RAIN CHANCES MAY HAVE TO BE ADDED TO THE FORECAST SUNDAY
NIGHT...OR MONDAY.  IN ADDITION...TEMPERATURES WILL HAVE TO BE
WARMED MONDAY...THEN COOLED TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
FIRE WX CONDITIONS HAVE STARTED AN ESCALATING TREND THAT WILL
PERSIST THRU THE WEEKEND. VERY DRY AIR WILL ENCOMPASS A LARGE PART
OF THE CWFA FRI UNDERNEATH DRY NW MID LEVEL FLOW AND AN AMPLIFYING
LOW LEVEL THERMAL RIDGE. LOOSE MSLP GRADIENT AND IN THE MID LEVELS
WILL PRECLUDE CONCERNS FOR WINDS THOUGH. SAT MID LEVEL FLOW IS SEEN
TO HAVE A FLAT RIDGE WITH MAINLY ZONAL COMPONENT. THIS WILL SERVE TO
ENHANCE THE 85H THERMAL RIDGE AND WITH RISING 5H HEIGHTS/DOWNSLOPE
WINDS THE HIGH TEMPS...ESPECIALLY IN THE W WILL SOAR. 20-25KTS AND
25-30KTS AT 85H/7H RESPECTIVELY WITH DEEP MIXING WILL RESULT IN
BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS ACRS SE NM/ UPPER TRANS PECOS/VAN HORN
AREA/GDP MTNS. TEMP N100 IN CARLSBAD FOR INSTANCE WILL DRIVE MIN
RH/S DOWN TO NEAR 5 PCT AND A LONG LEAD RED FLAG WARNING HAS BEEN
ISSUED FOR THE AFOREMENTIONED AREAS FOR SAT. FARTHER E IT WILL BE
HOT TOO (IE N100 AT KMAF) BUT MIXED LAYER WINDS LOOK TO BE LESS.
STILL GFS SOUNDING DOES SHOW A MIXED LAYER WIND OF 20KTS AND WITH
STRONG 12HR PRESSURE FALLS INVOF SE COLORADO IT WILL BE AT LEAST
CLOSE TO RFW FOR PARTS OF THE PB SAT. UNSEASONALLY HOT TEMPS WILL
CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY AND 85H THERMAL RIDGE WILL BE FROM NEAR
SNYDER...MIDLAND...BIG BEND...WIDESPREAD TEMPS IN THE 90S TO L100S
AGAIN. SUNDAY CERTAINLY LOOKS TO BE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT DAY AS THE
MID LEVEL WIND FIELD/MIXED LAYER WIND INCREASES OVER A LARGER AREA.
INTERSECTION OF 7H SPEED MAX AND 85H THERMAL RIDGE PER ECMWF INVOF
LBB...CDS...SNK. PARENT 5H LOW WILL STILL BE WELL TO THE W SO IT
WILL DIFFICULT TO GET SUBSIDENCE...HOWEVER DEEP MIXING AT SEEN IN
GFS MAF SOUNDING TO 5H AND THE INSTABILITY TERM OF THE HAINES INDEX
IS 26C AND SUPPORTING MOMENTUM TRANSFER AND SFC LOW WILL DEEPEN
ANOTHER 8MB OR SO. AS SUCH THERE WILL BE WIDESPREAD RF CONDITIONS
SUNDAY. PERSISTENT POOR RH RECOVERY IN SE NM AND MOST OF TRANS PECOS
IN THE MORNINGS LEADING UP TO SUNDAY AND THE TEMPS SOME 20 DEGREES
ABOVE NORMAL ARE STRONG INDICATORS TO BE ESPECIALLY CONCERNED ABOUT
THIS WEEKEND.  THE OTHER TAKE-AWAY HERE IS THAT EACH SUCCESSIVE DAY
FRIDAY-SUNDAY WILL BE HOTTER/WINDIER/DRIER AND OVER A LARGER AREA
EACH DAY.

FINALLY WRT CLIMATOLOGY APRIL USUALLY HAS THE MOST RED FLAG DAYS AND
A QUICK GLANCE AND MODELS THRU NEXT 10 DAYS THERE ARE INDICATIONS OF
DRY/ACTIVE/PROGRESSIVE PATTERN. BASICALLY FROM APR 6-10 THERE WILL
BE OPPORTUNITY FOR SUCCESSIVE CRITICAL FIRE WX DAYS OVER LARGE AREAS.
