AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
211 PM CDT FRI MAR 22 2013

.DISCUSSION...
BACK DOOR COLD FRONT HAS MOVED INTO THE PB/SE NM AND HAS MADE IT TO
THE PECOS RIVER. FRONT WILL ERODE AND LIFT BACK N SOME LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND THUS VERY DRY/WARM/WINDY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST S-W
OF PECOS RIVER. SAT SURFACE LOW WILL DEVELOP E OF MAF WITH A PROGRESSIVE
MID LATITUDE 5H LOW FORECAST TO MOVE OUT INTO THE PLAINS LATE SAT PM.
ASSOCD MID LEVEL SPEED MAXIMA WILL MOVE OUT ACROSS THE E NM/W TX
PLAINS RESULTING IN VERY WINDY CONDITIONS...ESPECIALLY SE NM/NRN
PB. NAM12 HAS BACKED OFF ON WINDS SOME FROM PREVIOUS RUNS BUT MIXED
LAYER WINDS ON SOUNDINGS ARE EASILY 30KTS ACROSS N PB. W WINDS WILL
AUGMENT WARMING AND HIGH TEMPS WILL BE ABOUT 5 TO 10 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL FROM N TO S...RESPECTIVELY. HIGH WINDS IN THE GDP MTNS LOOK
GOOD WITH 40KTS 7H WINDS ON SAT. A BRIEF BOUGHT OF HIGH WINDS WILL
BE POSSIBLE IN THE DAVIS MTNS ABOVE 6KFT AS...EVEN AS EARLY SAT
AM. FOR NOW WILL OPT TO ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FOR SE NM/NRN PB FOR
SAT. THERE WILL BE AN ASSOCD STRONG COLD FRONT THAT MOVES THRU
EARLY/LATE EVENING SAT...SEE 3HR ISALLOBARIC HIGH FROM NAM12. VERY
WINDY POST FRONTAL CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR A FEW HRS AND WILL
OPT TO KEEP THE WIND ADVISORY OUT THRU AT LEAST THE EVENING TO
ACCOUNT FOR FROPA. ADVISORY MAY BE NEED TO BE EXTENDED FARTHER S
SAT AFTERNOON/EVENING BUT FOR NOW WILL GO WITH ADVISORY IN MOST CONFIDENT
AREAS. BLDU WILL BE A CONCERN TOO AND WILL INCLUDE MENTION IN GRIDS.

.FIRE WEATHER...
LOW END RF WX HAS YET TO MATERIALIZE BUT IS STILL EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
AT LEAST BRIEFLY AFTER 3 PM IN THE W. THE RFW WILL PROBABLY WILL BE
ABLE TO BE CANCELLED EARLY THOUGH. FIRE WX CONCERNS DO INCREASE MUCH
MORESO SAT PM. AS ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS AND SUSTAINED WINDS ACROSS THE
PLAINS OF 20-35 MPH COMBINE WITH SINGLE DIGIT RH/S TO RESULT IN VERY
HIGH/EXTREME FIRE DANGER. THE RFTI WILL BRIEFLY GET TO NEAR AN 8 AND
WITH THE FUEL DRYNESS DATA INDICATING 90TH PERCENTILE WE HAVE UPGRADED
THE WATCH TO A WARNING. WE WOULD BE CONCERNED EVEN MORE IF GRASS FUEL
LOADINGS WERE HIGHER OVER A LARGER AREA. STILL THERE MAY BE SOME AREAS
THAT HAVE RELATIVELY HIGHER FUEL LOADS LIKE SE-S PB. ALSO BE AWARE
THAT A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA SAT EVENING BRINGING
AN ABRUPT WIND SHIFT WITH INCREASED WINDS...THUS PROLONGING FIRE WX
CONCERNS.
