DISCUSSION...
STRONG NORTHWESTERLY WINDS ALOFT MIXING DOWN TO THE SURFACE ON THE
BACK SIDE OF AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON ARE CREATING BREEZY AND GUSTY CONDITIONS
ACROSS MOST OF SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DIMINISH
THIS EVENING AS UPPER TROUGH PUSHES TO THE EAST. ANOTHER CLEAR
NIGHT IS IN STORE WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS DROPPING BELOW THE FREEZING
MARK OVER PARTS OF THE HILL COUNTRY AND MID TO UPPER 30S ELSEWHERE
WITH NEAR 40 ACROSS THE RIO GRANDE PLAINS.

A SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER CENTRAL TEXAS THIS
AFTERNOON PER LATEST MSL PRESSURE MAP FROM SPC MESOANALYSIS PAGE
WILL MOVE EASTWARD TONIGHT AND SUNDAY ALLOWING THE RETURN OF A
SURFACE SOUTHEAST FLOW ACROSS THE AREA FOR THE SECOND PART OF THE
WEEKEND AND INTO THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL ALLOW
DAYTIME TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB ABOVE SEASONAL NORMALS SUNDAY WITH MID
70S ACROSS THE HILL COUNTRY...MID TO UPPER 70S ALONG THE I-35
CORRIDOR AND LOWER 80S ACROSS THE RIO GRANDE PLAINS. IT WILL BE
BREEZY AND GUSTY IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS A LOW PRESSURE
BUILDS ACROSS THE LEE SIDE OF THE ROCKIES.

ON MONDAY...AN UPPER TROUGH DIGGING SOUTHEASTWARD FROM THE NORTHWEST
PACIFIC IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND OVER THE
NORTHERN PART OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND INTO THE OHIO VALLEY
LATE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. THIS SCENARIO WILL PROVIDE A SOUTHWEST
FLOW IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER ACROSS OUR AREA RESULTING IN A HOT MONDAY
AFTERNOON WITH TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO REACH THE MID 80S TO NEAR
90 ACROSS THE RIO GRANDE PLAINS. AN ASSOCIATED DRY PACIFIC FRONT
WILL MOVE ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS OVERNIGHT TUESDAY WITH A
SECONDARY POLAR FRONT ARRIVING TO THE AREA TUESDAY MORNING. IT
WILL BE DRY...BREEZY AND GUSTY MUCH OF TUESDAY MOST AREAS WITH
NORTH WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH AND GUSTING TO 35 MPH. WILL EXPECT DRY
CONDITIONS TO PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF THE WORK WEEK WITH MOISTURE
INCREASING LATE IN THE WEEK AND NEXT WEEKEND.

AN UPPER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FORECASTED TO DROP ACROSS THE
FOUR CORNERS REGION LATER IN THE WEEK AND PROVIDE ENOUGH LIFT
COUPLED WITH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE FOR A SLIGHT CHANCES FOR SHOWERS
AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY NEXT WEEKEND.

FIRE WEATHER...
THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE ELEVATED TO BRIEFLY NEAR CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND MONDAY AFTERNOON AS A
VERY DRY AIRMASS REMAINS ENTRENCHED ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS.
DRY...BREEZY TO NEAR WINDY CONDITIONS IN THE WAKE OF A FRONTAL
PASSAGE TUESDAY WILL CREATE NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS
BY MID MORNING TUESDAY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS.
