AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
1052 PM CST MON DEC 17 2012

.DISCUSSION...

SEE 06Z TAF DISCUSSION BELOW.

&&

.AVIATION...

VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HRS. SOUTH WINDS
AT 10 TO 15 KTS UNDER MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES.

&&

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 229 PM CST MON DEC 17 2012/

DISCUSSION...
ANOTHER BREEZY DAY UNDER SUNNY SKIES THIS AFTERNOON HOWEVER SPEEDS
ARE MUCH LOWER THAN YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT
WILL BECOME MORE WESTERLY TUESDAY AS THE WEAK UPPER RIDGE SHIFTS
EASTWARD OVER THE REGION. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL RETURN AS A SURFACE
TROUGH DEVELOPS LEE OF THE ROCKIES AHEAD OF THE NEXT UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH. TEMPERATURES WILL WARM TO NEAR RECORD VALUES TUESDAY
AFTERNOON WITH READINGS GENERALLY IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S.
ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED DURING THE AFTERNOON
HOURS AS HUMIDITIES DECREASE. PLEASE SEE THE FIRE WEATHER SECTION
BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS.

THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER TROUGH WILL MOVE EAST THROUGH THE ROCKIES
ON WEDNESDAY. INCREASED FLOW AROUND THE BASE OF THE TROUGH WILL
AIDE IN ELEVATED WESTERLY WINDS AT THE SURFACE THROUGHOUT THE DAY
WEDNESDAY. MEANWHILE...THE SURFACE TROUGH WILL STRENGTHEN OVER THE
TX/OK PANHANDLES AND CONTRIBUTE TO HIGHER WIND SPEEDS AS WELL. A
HIGH WIND WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR THE GUADALUPE AND DAVIS MOUNTAIN
REGIONS WEDNESDAY AND DECIDED TO GO AHEAD AND ADD THE SURROUNDING
PLAINS TO THE WATCH. SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS OF 40 TO 60 MPH WITH
GUSTS UP TO 70 TO 80 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR THE MOUNTAIN REGIONS
WHILE SURROUNDING AREAS REACH 30 TO 40 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 45 TO
60 MPH.

A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION WEDNESDAY AND SHIFT WINDS
TO THE NORTHWEST. FOR NOW...THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO REACH THE
NORTHWEST ZONES BY LATE AFTERNOON SO MOST LOCATIONS WILL HAVE A
CHANCE TO WARM TO AT LEAST TO THE MID TO UPPER 60S. NORTHWEST WINDS
WILL BE RELATIVELY STRONG BEHIND THE FRONT THEN DECREASE
SIGNIFICANTLY AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES INTO THE AREA
OVERNIGHT. MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES WILL FILTER INTO THE REGION AND
MOST LOCATIONS WILL BE IN THE 20S BY THE EARLY MORNING HOURS
THURSDAY. COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL LINGER THURSDAY AND AFTERNOON HIGH
TEMPERATURES ARE ONLY EXPECTED TO REACH THE LOW 50S. UNFORTUNATELY
NO PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED WITH THIS SYSTEM.

WEAK RIDGING WILL SET UP ONCE AGAIN TOWARD THE END OF THE WORK WEEK
AND SOUTHERLY WINDS RETURN TO THE REGION AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
MOVES EAST. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL REBOUND TO ABOVE NORMAL READINGS
BY SATURDAY.

FIRE WEATHER...
WV IMAGERY SHOWS NW FLOW ALOFT ON THE BACKSIDE OF AN UPPER TROUGH
ENTERING THE MS VALLEY...BUT EXPECT THIS TO TRANSITION TO SW OVER
THE NEXT 24 HRS AS THE NEXT SYSTEM DIGS THRU CA.  TUESDAY...WINDS
BEGIN INCREASING AS A SFC TROUGH BEGINS STRENGTHENING IN THE LEE OF
THE ROCKIES.  HOWEVER...MODEL SOUNDINGS DIFFER AS TO HOW DEEP MIXING
WILL BE TUESDAY AFTERNOON...W/THE NAM MIXING FURTHER THAN THE GFS.
ALSO...MODELS HINT THAT THE TIMING/PLACEMENT OF THE HIGHER WINDS IN
THE EAST WILL NOT NECESSARILY COINCIDE W/LOWER RH/S SOUTH.
ALSO...RFTI LIMITS CRITICAL CRITERIA TO THE GUADALUPES...ADJACENT
PLAINS...AND THE DAVIS MTNS.  THUS...WE/LL SCALE BACK THE
WATCH...AND LET THE MID SHIFT MAKE THE CALL.  WEDNESDAY...THINGS GET
A LITTLE DICIER AS THE UPPER TROUGH PASSES THRU SE NM/WEST TEXAS.
MODELS ARE FAIRLY SIMILAR ON TIMING...AND FORECAST SOUNDINGS MIX OUT
TO AROUND 725MB...WHERE WINDS IN EXCESS OF 40KTS ARE FORECAST.  THE
ONLY LIMITING FACTOR WILL BE RH/S...WHICH ARE FORECAST RIGHT AROUND
15 PCT FOR MOST OF THE AREA.  BEING THIS FAR OUT...AND FOR PRODUCT
BREVITY...WE/LL SHOTGUN A WATCH ACROSS ALL ZONES...AND NARROW IT
DOWN IN SUBSEQUENT SHIFTS.
