AFTERNOON AND EVENING WILL BECOME LIGHT WINDS OUT OF THE
SOUTH BY DAYBREAK WEDNESDAY.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 400 AM CST TUE NOV 29 2011/

DISCUSSION...
THE REGION WILL REMAIN ON THE EASTERN EDGE OF AN UPPER RIDGE
CENTERED OVER SOUTHERN CALIF TODAY BUT A STRONG UPPER TROUGH COMING
OVER THE NW COAST TONIGHT WILL BRING A BIG CHANGE FOR THE REGION.
BY THE END OF THE WEEK WILL HAVE MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES AND A
CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION.  ON THURSDAY THIS TROUGH WILL DEVELOP INTO A
CUT OFF LOW DIVING DOWN ACROSS ARIZONA.  COULD EVEN SEE A LITTLE
WINTER WX FRIDAY MAINLY OVER SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO.  THIS LOW SPINS
AROUND OVER THE SOUTHWEST U.S. FRIDAY BEFORE OPENING UP AND MOVING
EAST SATURDAY.

A WEAK COLD FRONT MOVED INTO THE AREA OVERNIGHT AND HAD PROGRESSED
TO NEAR THE PECOS RIVER THIS MORNING.  AFTER A WARM DAY MONDAY
ANOTHER FRONT TODAY WILL RETURN THE REGION TO BELOW NORMAL
TEMPERATURES WITH INCREASING HIGH CLOUDS.  LATEST GUIDANCE A LITTLE
WARMER SO BUMPED UP HIGHS TODAY INTO THE 50S TO LOWER 60S.  THE
NORMAL HIGH FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR IN THE PERMIAN BASIN IS 62
DEGREES.  WHILE NOVEMBER HAS OVERALL BEEN A WARM MONTH FOR THE
REGION... THE CHANGE OF THE CALENDER LOOKS TO HAVE MUCH COLDER TEMPS
IN STORE FOR DECEMBER.

NEXT COLD FRONT COME THROUGH IN THE THURSDAY/THURSDAY NIGHT TIME
FRAME.  VARIOUS GUIDANCE DIVERGE AS TO HIGH TEMPS THURSDAY DUE TO
TIMING OF FRONT.  IT LOOKS TO BE WINDY AGAIN WITH THIS FRONT AS
MODELS DEVELOPING TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT AT THE SURFACE.  COLD AIR
AT THE SURFACE AND WARM MOIST AIR OVERRUNNING IT WILL RESULT IN
CLOUDY DAYS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.  ON FRIDAY ONLY LOOKING FOR HIGHS
TO MAKE INTO THE 30S NORTH OF THE PECOS RIVER WITH 40S GENERALLY
SOUTH OF IT.  EXPECTING SATURDAY TO BE A LITTLE WARMER BUT LONG
RANGE MODELS TRYING TO DEVELOP A REINFORCING SHOT OF COLD AIR COMING
DOWN DURING THE DAY SO THAT COULD CHANGE.

MEX GUIDANCE SEEMS TO BE EXCITED ABOUT RAIN CHANCES LATE THIS WEEK.
CONTINUED THE BELOW GUIDANCE POPS BUT BUMPED THEM UP JUST A LITTLE
KEEPING THEM IN THE SAME CATEGORIES.  ISENTROPIC LIFT AND THE
APPROACHING UPPER LOW WILL BRING A CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION
THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT.  SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO COULD
EVEN SEE THIS PRECIP MIX WITH A LITTLE SNOW.  OVERALL EXPECTING
PRECIP TOTALS TO BE LIGHT... SEE FRIDAY AS BEING COLD AND MESSY.
