.AVIATION...
FOR THE 18Z TAFS...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE. MAIN
CONCERN IS TIMING THE COLD FRONT LATE TONIGHT AND WIND SPEEDS BEHIND
THE FRONT. HAVE MODERATE TO HIGH CONFIDENCE IN TIMING OF THE FRONT
BUT LOW TO MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN THE WIND SPEEDS BEHIND THE FRONT.
THERE IS A POSSIBILITY WIND SPEEDS...PARTICULARLY GUSTS...COULD BE
STRONGER THAN INDICATED IN THE TAFS. IN FACT...THERE COULD BE AN
HOUR OR TWO BETWEEN 14Z AND 17Z WHERE WINDS COULD GUST UP TO 37 KT
AT ALL TERMINALS.

JACKSON

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 602 AM CDT TUE OCT 16 2012/

AVIATION...DISCUSSION FOR 12Z TAFS

WIND DIRECTIONAL SHIFTS WILL BE THE MAIN AVIATION CONCERN TODAY UNDER
VFR CONDITIONS. A WEAK SURFACE FRONT WILL MAKE ITS WAY INTO THE
PANHANDLES AND WIND THIS MORNING WILL VEER TO THE NORTHEAST AROUND
15 KTS BEHIND THE FRONT. AS THE DAY PROGRESSES...WINDS WILL CONTINUE
TO VEER AROUND THE DIAL AND DIMINISH TO AROUND 10 KTS AS THEY
EVENTUALLY RETURN TO THE SOUTHWEST BY THE 21Z TO 23Z TIME FRAME. A
STRONGER COLD FRONT IS FORECAST FOR EARLY WEDNESDAY AND HAVE ALREADY
INCLUDED WIND CHANGE GROUP BEYOND 07Z FOR THE TAF SITES.

GARCIA

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 415 AM CDT TUE OCT 16 2012/

DISCUSSION...
MAIN FOCUS OF THIS FORECAST IS ON A COLD FRONT TO PASS THROUGH ON
WEDNESDAY...AND ASSOCIATED COOLER TEMPERATURES AND STRONGER WINDS
BEHIND THE FRONT.

A SPLIT UPPER FLOW WAS IN PLACE EARLY THIS MORNING...WITH A 100-150 KT
UPPER JET SLAMMING INTO THE PAC NW WHILE A WEAKER /80-90 KT/ SUB-
TROPICAL JET WAS BRINGING SOME HIGH-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE IN THE
FORM OF A CIRRUS SHIELD ACROSS SOUTHEAST NM AND MUCH OF
TX...PRIMARILY JUST SOUTH OF THE PANHANDLE. A WEAKER WEST/NORTHWEST
FLOW ALOFT WAS IN PLACE OVER THE PANHANDLES IN BETWEEN THE TWO MAIN
JETS. A SURFACE TROUGH WAS JUST STARTING TO MAKE ITS WAS INTO THE
NORTHWEST PANHANDLES. TEMPERATURES WERE HANGING IN THE MID 40S TO
LOWER 60S AS OF 4 AM...WITH SOUTHWEST BREEZES AHEAD OF THE SURFACE
TROUGH HELPING TO KEEP TEMPS ON THE MILD SIDE.

A WEAK MID/UPPER-LEVEL SHORTWAVE WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH SOUTHEAST
ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS INTO THE MS VALLEY
TODAY...HELPING TO PUSH THE SURFACE TROUGH SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE
PANHANDLES. NORTHWEST WINDS WILL BE A LITTLE BREEZY BEHIND THE
SURFACE TROUGH INITIALLY THIS MORNING...BUT THEN WEAKEN AND VEER
AROUND TO THE SOUTH/SOUTHWEST THIS AFTERNOON AS THE TROUGH WEAKENS
AND A NEW LEE TROUGH BEGINS TO DEVELOP TO OUR WEST. TEMPERATURES WILL
BE SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY...MAYBE A TOUCH COOLER WITHOUT THE STRONGER
DOWNSLOPE WIND COMPONENT WE HAD YESTERDAY. LOWS TONIGHT WILL FALL
INTO THE MID 40S TO LOWER 50S.

A MUCH STRONGER MID/UPPER-LEVEL SHORTWAVE WILL DIG SOUTHEAST ACROSS
THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS INTO THE MS VALLEY ON
WEDNESDAY...PUSHING A COLD FRONT SOUTH ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
WEDNESDAY MORNING. WITH VERY LIMITED MOISTURE TO WORK WITH AND THE
MAIN DYNAMICS ALOFT REMAINING TO OUR NORTHEAST...NO PRECIPITATION IS
EXPECTED WITH THE FRONT. COLD AIR ADVECTION WITH GUSTY NORTHERLY
WINDS WILL KNOCK HIGHS BACK INTO THE MID 60S NORTHWEST TO UPPER 70S
SOUTHEAST. THE STRONGEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE ACROSS THE EASTERN
HALF OF THE CWA. WINDS MAY BRIEFLY GET CLOSE TO ADVISORY LEVELS IN
THE NORTHEAST CWA WEDNESDAY MORNING IN THE TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT
BEHIND THE INITIAL FRONTAL SURGE AND AS SOME MOMENTUM IS MIXED
DOWNWARD FROM A 40-50 KT NORTHERLY LLJ. HOWEVER...THINK WINDS WILL
LIKELY STAY BELOW 35 MPH SUSTAINED FOR 2 HOURS OR MORE /ADVISORY
CRITERIA/...AND THEN GRADUALLY WEAKEN DURING THE AFTERNOON AS SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN AND THE STRONGER H85 WINDS SHIFT TO OUR EAST.
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS WILL SET THE STAGE FOR A COOL
NIGHT WEDNESDAY NIGHT. MAY END UP NEEDING A FROST ADVISORY FOR PARTS
OF THE OK PANHANDLE AND NORTHERN TX PANHANDLE AS TEMPERATURES FALL
INTO THE LOWER TO MID 30S...ALTHOUGH THE AIRMASS MAY BE TOO DRY FOR
ANY ACTUAL FROST DEVELOPMENT.

A NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL PERSIST THROUGH THURSDAY TO THE SOUTHWEST
OF A DEEP CLOSED LOW OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST/GREAT LAKES. THE COOLER
TEMPS WILL HOLD IN FOR ONE MORE DAY AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SLOWLY
DRIFTS SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA...KEEPING HIGHS MAINLY IN THE MID TO
UPPER 60S. THE NAM APPEARS TOO QUICK TO WARM THINGS UP ON
THURSDAY...SO HAVE FOLLOWED THE COOLER GFS AND ECMWF. TEMPS WON/T BE
QUITE AS COLD THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE AIRMASS BEGINS TO MODIFY AND
WINDS START TO TURN TO THE SOUTH...KEEPING LOWS IN THE UPPER 30S TO
MID 40S.

THE FLOW ALOFT WILL GRADUALLY BECOME INCREASINGLY ZONAL FRIDAY INTO
THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL SERVE TO DEEPEN THE LEE SURFACE TROUGH...WITH
RESULTANT SOUTH/SOUTHWEST WINDS CONTRIBUTING TO THE WARMING
TREND...WITH HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 80S EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND. HEADING
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...MODEL DIFFERENCES START TO ARISE WITH THE
EVOLUTION OF THE UPPER FLOW...ALTHOUGH THE LATEST 16/00Z ECMWF HAS
TRENDED TOWARD THE GFS IN BEING MUCH LESS AGGRESSIVE IN TRYING TO
BRING A TROUGH INTO THE CENTRAL CONUS. IT DOES LOOK LIKE A FRONT WILL
PUSH IN MONDAY OR MONDAY NIGHT...BUT THE DEGREE OF COOLING IS STILL
UNCERTAIN AS ARE ANY PRECIP CHANCES. WILL KEEP THINGS DRY FOR NOW.

FIRE WEATHER...
RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL FALL TO 15 TO 20 PERCENT OVER MUCH OF THE
AREA THIS AFTERNOON. NORTHWEST WINDS WILL BE BREEZY THIS MORNING
BEHIND A SURFACE TROUGH...BUT WILL DECREASE TO LESS THAN 15 MPH THIS
AFTERNOON WHEN THE LOWER RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL OCCUR.
THEREFORE...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE NOT EXPECTED. NORTH
WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 15 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 45 MPH ON
WEDNESDAY BEHIND A COLD FRONT. THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE ACROSS THE
EASTERN HALF OF THE PANHANDLES. COOLER TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO
KEEP RELATIVE HUMIDITIES AROUND 20 PERCENT OR HIGHER...ALTHOUGH A FEW
SPOTS COULD POTENTIALLY DROP TO JUST UNDER 20 PERCENT...LEADING TO
SOME ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS. RECENT RAINFALL HAS KEPT FUELS
FROM BECOMING OVERLY DRY THOUGH...AND THIS IS REFLECTED IN LATEST
ERC VALUES. THE MARGINAL RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES AND ABSENCE OF
CRITICALLY DRY FUELS SHOULD LIMIT FIRE BEHAVIOR. BEYOND
WEDNESDAY...WINDS ARE GENERALLY EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW 15
MPH...PRECLUDING ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS DESPITE MINIMUM
RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES FALLING TO 15 TO 20 PERCENT AT TIMES THROUGH
THE WEEKEND. THE EXCEPTION MAY BE SUNDAY...WHEN SOUTHWEST WINDS MAY
STRENGTHEN.
