.DISCUSSION...
SEE LATEST AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW.

.AVIATION...
A WEAK COLD FRONT HAS SLOWLY SLID TO THE SOUTH OF KHOB WHILE
REMAINING NORTH OF THE I-20 CORRIDOR...WITH SOUTHWEST WINDS
GUSTING TO AROUND 20 KNOTS ACROSS ALL TERMINALS SOUTH OF THIS
FRONT THIS AFTERNOON. WIND SPEEDS SHOULD DECREASE TO AROUND 10
KNOTS SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINS QUASI-
STATIONARY ACROSS THE PERMIAN BASIN TONIGHT. A BRIEF PERIOD OF MVFR
VIS/CLOUDS IS POSSIBLE AT KHOB/KINK/KMAF NEAR DAYBREAK SUNDAY
BEFORE THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY QUICKLY RETREATS TO THE NORTH DURING
THE DAY ON SUNDAY. GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS SHOULD THEN PICK UP
AT ALL TERMINALS BY MIDDAY SUNDAY.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 339 AM CDT SAT APR 23 2011/

DISCUSSION...

CURRENT OBS/SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS A SHARP DRYLINE EXTENDING FM
BOQUILLAS...TO PYOTE...TO ANDREWS AND LAMESA...WHILE THE COLD FRONT
HAS MADE IT INTO THE TEXAS PANHANDLE.  THE NAM IS MOST AGGRESSIVE
W/THE FRONT...YET STALLS IT IN SE NM/WRN LOW ROLLING PLAINS THIS
AFTERNOON...ALLOWING A THERMAL RIDGE SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY/S TO
REMAIN IN PLACE.  SOUTH OF THE FRONT...SW FLOW/HEATING WILL MIX THE
DRYLINE TO THE EASTERN FRINGES OF THE CWA...FOR A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
AFTERNOON/EVENING CONVECTION.  LATEST GFS...WHICH HAS BEEN BULLISH
THE PAST FEW RUNS ON BRINGING THE DRYLINE FURTHEST WEST THIS
EVENING...HAS SHIFTED THE SFC TROUGH FURTHER EAST AND IS NOW MORE IN
LINE W/OTHER MODELS.  THAT SAID...WE/LL CONFINE RAIN CHANCES TO THE
LWR TRANS PECOS/SE PB.

FRONT IS FCST TO PICK UP AFTER 00Z...AND MAKE IT TO THE PECOS RVR BY
12Z SUNDAY...DROPPING TEMPS SUNDAY AFTERNOON TO JUST ABOVE NORMAL.
REGARDLESS...THIS WILL NOT PUT A DAMPER ON FIRE WX CONCERNS SUNDAY
AFTERNOON...AS AN UPPER TROUGH ARRIVES AROUND 00Z MONDAY...W/25+KT
H7 WINDS ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE TROUGH...ESPECIALLY OVER SE NM.
SUNDAY NIGHT...RETURN FLOW ATTEMPTS TO REESTABLISH ITSELF...BUT THE
DRYLINE AND CHANCES OF CONVECTION WILL AGAIN BE CONFINED TO THE SE
ZONES.

OTHERWISE...TEMPS WILL REBOUND MONDAY AND TUESDAY AHEAD OF A
SECONDARY TROUGH...W/A SFC TROUGH DEVELOPING OVER THE PANHANDLES BY
12Z TUESDAY.  GRADIENTS BEGIN TIGHTENING MONDAY AFTERNOON...FOR
CRITICAL FIRE WX CONDITIONS..ESPECIALLY NW.  TUESDAY...GFS BRINGS
50+KT H7 WINDS AROUND THE BASE OF THE TROUGH...AND W/WESTERLY
DOWNSLOPE WARMING KEEPING TEMPS WELL ABV NORMAL...POTENTIAL EXISTS
FOR WIDESPREAD RED FLAG CONDITIONS.

TUESDAY NIGHT...A COLD FRONT FOLLOWS THE TROUGH...TAKING TEMPS WELL
BELOW NORMAL WEDNESDAY...FOLLOWED BY DRY...NW FLOW ALOFT AND A
WARMING TREND THROUGH THE EXTENDED.

FIRE WEATHER...

HOT TEMPERATURES AND DRY AIR OVER THE REGION WILL COMBINE WITH
SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS AND RESULT IN CONTINUED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS
ACROSS SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO AND WEST TEXAS.  EXPECT SOUTHWEST WINDS
WILL AGAIN REACH AND EXCEED 20 MPH OVER PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHEAST
NEW MEXICO PLAINS...GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS AND VAN HORN AREA THIS
AFTERNOON.  SINCE RH'S WILL DROP TO 5 TO 15% IN THESE AREAS AND FIRE
DANGER WILL BE EXTREME...WILL LEAVE THE RED FLAG WARNING OVER THESE
AREAS IN EFFECT FROM 23/17Z TO 24/02Z.  A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH
INTO THE NORTHERN PERMIAN BASIN AND WESTERN LOW ROLLING PLAINS THIS
AFTERNOON...THEN STALL.  ALTHOUGH COOLER TEMPERATURES AND A LITTLE
HIGHER LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS EXPECTED BEHIND THE FRONT...RH'S WILL
LIKELY DROP BELOW 15% BEFORE THE FRONT ARRIVES...WITH MINIMUM
AFTERNOON RH'S OF 5 TO 10% EXPECTED SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY ACROSS THE
REST OF WEST TEXAS.  20 FOOT WINDS SPEEDS WILL NEAR 20 MPH IN A FEW
LOCATIONS OUTSIDE OF THE RED FLAG WARNING AREA...BUT THINK THESE
WILL BE LESS THAN THEY WERE ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

THE FRONT WILL PUSH SOUTH TONIGHT...BUT COULD ONLY MAKE IT TO THE
PECOS RIVER BEFORE STALLING.  SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL STILL BE
POSSIBLE ALONG THE FRONT...BUT THEY MAY BE RELEGATED TO THE EASTERN
PERMIAN BASIN OR WESTERN LOW ROLLING PLAINS.  RECOVERY IS EXPECTED
TO BE POOR FROM THE GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS...SOUTH ACROSS THE VAN HORN
AREA...DAVIS MOUNTAINS...MARFA PLATEAU...PRESIDIO VALLEY AND BIG
BEND REGION.  GOOD RECOVERY IS EXPECTED OVER THE REST OF THE AREA.
THE FRONT WILL RETREAT TO THE NORTHEAST SUNDAY AS AN UPPER TROUGH
BEARS DOWN ON THE REGION.  TEMPERATURES WILL AGAIN BE ABOVE NORMAL
AS SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT INCREASES OVER THE REGION AND RH'S DROP TO
15% OR LESS OVER ALL BUT PORTIONS OF THE WESTERN LOW ROLLING
PLAINS...EASTERN PERMIAN BASIN AND LOWER TRANS PECOS.  20 FOOT WINDS
SPEEDS WILL BE 20 MPH OR GREATER OVER AT LEAST SOUTHEAST NEW
MEXICO...THE GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS AND VAN HORN AREA...IF NOT THE
PERMIAN BASIN...UPPER TRANS PECOS AND THE DAVIS MOUNTAINS.  WILL
ISSUE A FIRE WEATHER WATCH OVER ALL OF THESE AREAS SUNDAY AFTERNOON
UNTIL IT BECOMES MORE CLEAR HOW FAR SOUTH AND EAST THE STRONGER 20
FOOT WINDS WILL OCCUR.

WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL INCREASE MORE OVER THE REGION MONDAY...AND
STAY THAT WAY TUESDAY.  TEMPERATURES MAY BE LESS WARM BOTH DAYS THAN
THE LAST SEVERAL...BUT WESTERLY DOWNSLOPE WINDS WILL DRY THE AIR AND
MINIMUM AFTERNOON RH'S WILL BE 10% OR LESS AREAWIDE.  THINK WE WILL
SEE CRITICAL TO VERY CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS BOTH DAYS OVER
MOST...IF NOT ALL...OF SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO AND WEST TEXAS.  DESPITE
THE CERTAINTY OF MONDAY AND TUESDAY BEING HIGHER END CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER DAYS...WILL NOT ISSUE A FIRE WEATHER WATCH OR WARNING AT
THIS TIME SO AS PRODUCTS WILL BE LESS LENGTHY AND CONFUSING.  EXPECT
A WATCH...IF NOT RED FLAG WARNING...WILL BE ISSUED AREAWIDE FOR BOTH
DAYS WITHIN THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
