AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN ANGELO TX
1232 PM CDT SAT APR 9 2011

.DISCUSSION...
SEE 18Z AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW.

&&

.AVIATION...
SOUTH WINDS OF 15 TO 20 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO 30 KNOTS WILL CONTINUE
THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING...BEFORE DECREASING TO 10 TO
15 KNOTS AFTER 02Z SUN. LOW LEVEL JET WILL INCREASE TO 50 TO 55
KNOTS AFTER 06Z SUN...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN 2/3 OF WEST
CENTRAL TEXAS.

DRYLINE WILL MIX EAST TO NEAR A KABI TO KSJT TO KOZA LINE BY LATE
THIS AFTERNOON. SOME HIGH BASED CU IS EXPECTED ALONG/EAST OF THE
DRYLINE. A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL EVEN BE POSSIBLE BY 23Z OR SO
GENERALLY TO THE EAST OF OUR TERMINALS BUT AS THE DRYLINE RETREATS
DURING THE EVENING THE PRECIP CHANCES WILL SHIFT WEST. I INCLUDED
A CB REMARK ONLY AT THE KABI TAF GIVEN IS PROXIMITY TO THE DRYLINE
AND STRONG MID LEVEL FORCING. LOW CIGS WILL BE POSSIBLE AFTER 06Z
BUT WERE ONLY INCLUDED AT THE KJCT/KBBD TERMINALS.

&&

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 348 AM CDT SAT APR 9 2011/

SHORT TERM...
THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN IS DOMINATED BY THE CLOSED UPPER LOW SPINNING
OVER SOCAL. STRONG...DIFFLUENT SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT DOWNSTREAM OF
THIS FEATURE WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE SHORT TERM WITH STRONG LEE
CYCLOGENESIS SUPPORTIVE OF INCREASING SOUTHERLY WINDS THIS
AFTERNOON. IN THE MEANTIME...LOW CLOUDS ARE JUST BEGINNING TO
DEVELOP OVER THE HILL COUNTRY WHICH IS SEVERAL HOURS SLOWER THAN
WHAT WE SAY YESTERDAY. I STILL THINK THESE CLOUDS WILL EVENTUALLY
MAKE IT INTO THE SOUTHEAST ZONES OF OUR CWA BUT IT SHOULD TAKE
SEVERAL MORE HOURS. ANY LOW CLOUDS WILL DISSIPATE QUICKLY WITH A
STRONG LOW LEVEL JET READY TO MIX TO THE SURFACE BY MID MORNING.
KSJT VAD WIND PROFILE DEPICTS SOUTH WINDS OF 55 KTS AT APPROX 2000
FEET. THIS JET IS PROGGED TO WEAKEN QUICKLY BY 15Z WITH A LULL IN
THE WINDS ANTICIPATED AROUND MIDDAY AS THE DRYLINE/SURFACE TROF
MIXES EAST INTO THE CWA. DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS...STRONG
PRESSURE FALLS ACROSS NORTHWEST TX WILL RESULT IN INCREASING SOUTH
TO SOUTHWEST WINDS...REACHING SPEEDS OF 20-25 MPH BY LATE AFTERNOON.
THE STRONGEST WINDS SHOULD BE ACROSS THE BIG COUNTRY AND WESTERN
CONCHO VALLEY WHERE WHICH IS ALSO WHERE THE LOWEST RELATIVE
HUMIDITIES WILL RESIDE.

RICH MOISTURE /WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 60S/ TO THE EAST OF THE
DRYLINE...COMBINED WITH STRONG DAYTIME HEATING AND LARGE SCALE
ASCENT DOWNSTREAM OF THE EASTWARD MOVING TROF WILL PROVIDE THE
THREAT FOR LATE AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS. MODIFIED BUFR SOUNDINGS
INDICATE APPROX 1500 J/KG OF INSTABILITY WILL LITTLE CIN BASED ON
SURFACE TEMPS IN THE MID 90S. THIS INSTABILITY WILL BE JUXTAPOSED
WITH STRONG BULK SHEAR IN THE VICINITY OF THE DRYLINE SO WILL
MENTION THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE CONVECTION. AS THE DRYLINE RETREATS
THIS EVENING...THE THREAT AREA FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL EXPAND TO THE
WEST AS WELL. HOWEVER...I EXPECT MOST IF NOT ALL OF THE CONVECTION
TO BE GONE BY 06Z SO NO MENTIONABLE POPS WERE CARRIED AFTER
MIDNIGHT. TEMPS TODAY WILL BE VERY WARM ONCE AGAIN WITH HIGHS
GENERALLY IN THE MID 90S. WE ARE CALLING FOR A RECORD MAX TEMP OF 97
AT SAN ANGELO WHICH WOULD BREAK THE PREVIOUS RECORD OF 96 SET IN
1963.

JOHNSON

LONG TERM...

CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER FOR SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SURFACE
TROUGH MOVES THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING...BRING IN DRY WESTERLY
DESERT AIR. HAVE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE
EASTERN THIRD OF THE CWA SUNDAY MORNING WITH LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE
ALONG THE SURFACE TROUGH. SUNDAY MIDDAY/AFTERNOON...A 50-55 KT 700
MB WIND MAX MOVES ACROSS THE BIG COUNTRY AND CONCHO VALLEY...AND
EXPECT WINDS TO INCREASE 25 TO 35 MPH...WITH GUSTS TO 45 MPH. THIS
WILL PROMOTE EXTREME FIRE BEHAVIOR. SEE FIRE WEATHER SECTION FOR
DETAILS ON FIRE WEATHER WATCH. WINDS MAY NOT DECOUPLE QUICKLY
SUNDAY EVENING...PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE BIG COUNTRY...WHERE
PRESSURE GRADIENT IS TIGHTER.

WIND OTHERWISE SHIFT NORTH 10 TO 15 MPH EARLY MONDAY MORNING AS A
COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH. AGAIN NO RAINFALL EXPECTED WITH DRY
ATMOSPHERE. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE BEGINS RETURNING MIDWEEK AS ANOTHER
UPPER SYSTEM MOVES OUT OF THE WEST. UNFORTUNATELY MOST OF THE
ENERGY IS NORTH OF THE REGION...SO WILL MAINTAIN A DRY FORECAST.

FIRE WEATHER...
THE REMAINING COUNTIES IN THE FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR TODAY HAVE BEEN
UPGRADED TO A RED FLAG WARNING. SOUTHWEST 20FT WINDS WILL INCREASE
THIS MORNING BUT SHOULD REMAIN BELOW 20 MPH THROUGH MID AFTERNOON
BUT ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE QUICKLY AFTER 2 PM. WINDS BEHIND THE
DRYLINE /FROM HASKELL...TO SAN ANGELO...TO OZONA/ ARE FORECAST TO
INCREASE TO 20-25 MPH THIS AFTERNOON WITH MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY
VALUES OF 15-20 PERCENT. HUMIDITIES WILL REMAIN IN THE 25-35 PERCENT
RANGE TO THE EAST OF THE DRYLINE.

FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS REMAIN HIGH ON SUNDAY AS WELL. STRONGER WINDS
ALOFT ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE OVER THE REGION. THIS WILL LIKELY RESULT
IN WEST WINDS OF 20-30 MPH WITH GUSTS OVER 40 MPH AT TIMES
/ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE BIG COUNTRY/. IN ADDITION...THE DRYLINE IS
PROGGED TO MOVE INTO THE FAR EASTERN ZONES WHICH WILL PUT RELATIVE
HUMIDITIES BELOW 15 PERCENT ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA. FUELS
REMAIN EXTREMELY DRY ACROSS THE REGION AND WE HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS
WILDFIRES OVER THE PAST WEEK. I DO BELIEVE CRITICAL THRESHOLDS WILL
BE MET ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA ON SUNDAY BUT WILL WAIT TO UPGRADE AT
THIS TIME SINCE WE ALREADY HAVE ONE ACTIVE RED FLAG WARNING. THIS
WILL LIKELY NEED TO BE UPGRADED LATER TODAY FOR AT LEAST PART OF THE
WATCH AREA. ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS WILL RETURN TUESDAY
THROUGH THURSDAY OF NEXT WEEK.
