AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
443 AM CST MON FEB 18 2013

.DISCUSSION...
AN ACTIVE FEW DAYS ARE UPCOMING AS A DEEP UA TROUGH TAKES SHAPE OVER
THE WESTERN CONUS BEFORE SWEEPING EASTWARD AND IMPINGING UPON THE
AREA.  A VARIETY OF WEATHER WILL BE HAD DUE TO THIS TROUGH...NOT TO
MENTION THE UA TROUGH TO PRECEDE IT.  THE FIRST UA TROUGH WILL MOVE
BY TO THE NORTH OF THE REGION THIS MORNING.  A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE
SOUTH IN IT/S WAKE AND ALLOW FOR SLIGHTLY COOLER HIGH TEMPERATURES
OVER NORTHERN REACHES OF THE CWA THIS AFTERNOON.  HOWEVER...THE FLOW
ALOFT WILL TIGHTEN OVER THE REGION ALSO...AND CONTRIBUTE TO WINDY
CONDITIONS...ESPECIALLY FROM THE PERMIAN BASIN SOUTHWESTWARD OVER
THE TRANS PECOS AND SOUTHWEST TEXAS.  FAIRLY STRONG H7 WINDS ARE
PROGGED OVER THE AREA AS EVIDENCED BY STRONG WINDS IN THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS OF THE GUADALUPE AND DAVIS MOUNTAINS EARLIER THIS
MORNING.  SINCE THESE WINDS WILL DECREASE AND MOVE OFF TO THE EAST
THIS MORNING...WILL FOREGO A HIGH WIND WARNING FOR EITHER THE
GUADALUPE OR DAVIS MOUNTAINS.  THESE WINDS WILL CONTRIBUTE TO FIRE
WEATHER CONCERNS.  FOR MORE ON FIRE WEATHER PLEASE SEE THE
DISCUSSION BELOW.

THE MENTIONED COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT
WITH LOWS CLOSE TO NORMAL AS A RESULT.  THE ATTENDANT SURFACE RIDGE
WILL MOVE EAST RAPIDLY UNDER PERSISTENT WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WHICH
WILL OPEN THE DOOR FOR LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TO RETURN TO THE REGION
TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.  A SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN
PACIFIC...BUT STILL WELL WEST OF THE BAJA PENINSULA...WILL STREAK
EASTWARD AND MOVE OVER THE REGION TUESDAY NIGHT.  AT FIRST GLANCE IT
APPEARS RAIN CHANCES WOULD BE NIL WITH THIS WAVE SINCE LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE WILL NOT HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO MAKE MUCH OF A COMEBACK BY
THEN AND THE SUBCLOUD LAYER IS FAIRLY DRY.  HOWEVER...COPIOUS
AMOUNTS OF MID AND UPPER MOISTURE ATTENDING THE WAVE...AND LIFT
ASSOCIATED WITH A 120KT H25 JET NOSING INTO THE REGION COULD VERY
WELL SQUEEZE SOME PRECIPITATION OUT OVER THE AREA.  IT DOES NOT
APPEAR THERE WILL BE MUCH ELEVATED INSTABILITY WITH THE PASSAGE OF
THE WAVE...SO AM NOT TOO HOT ON ANY CONVECTION TUESDAY NIGHT.  DID
ADD LOW ORDER POPS TO THE FORECAST THOUGH...BUT MAINLY SOUTH OF
INTERSTATE 20.  THE MAIN UA TROUGH WILL HAVE DEEPENED AND MOVED TO
SOCAL...IF NOT SOUTHERN ARIZONA BY WEDNESDAY MORNING.  THE FLOW
ALOFT WILL TIGHTEN AS IT APPROACHES WEDNESDAY WITH A VERY GOOD
CHANCE HIGH WINDS WILL OCCUR IN THE GUADALUPE AND DAVIS MOUNTAINS.
HAVE ISSUED A HIGH WIND WATCH FOR BOTH...INITIALLY FROM 20/12Z TO
21/12Z...BUT THIS MAY HAVE TO BE EXPANDED ON LATER SHIFTS.

THERE IS ALSO A DECENT CHANCE AT LEAST A WIND ADVISORY WILL BE
NEEDED OVER THE WESTERN HALF OR SO OF THE CWA WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
BLOWING DUST WILL ALSO BE A POSSIBILITY...BUT ALSO WELL ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES AND MORE FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS.  FURTHER EAST...A
DRYLINE WILL SHARPEN UP...AND DEPENDING ON THE LATITUDE OF A
SHORTWAVE TROUGH EJECTING NORTHEASTWARD OVER NEW MEXICO...COULD
RESULT IN A ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE PERMIAN BASIN AND
WESTERN LOW ROLLING PLAINS WEDNESDAY NIGHT WHEN A PACIFIC FRONT
COLLIDES WITH THE DRYLINE.  IF THESE STORMS DEVELOP...SOME COULD BE
SEVERE AS AT LEAST 1000 J/KG CAPE IS INDICATED...ALONG WITH LAPSE
RATES OF 8 TO 8.5 C/KM AND 0 TO 6 KM BULK SHEAR OF 60 TO 70KT.  HAVE
INCREASED POPS OVER THE WESTERN LOW ROLLING PLAINS FOR NOW...BUT
POPS WILL HAVE TO BE ADJUSTED ONE WAY OR THE OTHER ON LATER SHIFTS
FOR CHANGES TO THE CURRENT TIMING/TRACK OF THE MENTIONED EJECTING
SHORTWAVE TROUGH.

MORE WIND AND DRY CONDITIONS APPEAR LIKELY THROUGH THE REST OF THE
EXTENDED AS THE UA TROUGHS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND FOLLOW PRETTY
MUCH THE SAME TRACK.  NOT READY TO SAY WE WILL HAVE MUCH...IF
ANY...RAIN CHANCES WITH THESE SUBSEQUENT UA TROUGHS.  BUT DO THINK
WE HAVE A DECENT CHANCE OF MORE IR WEATHER CONCERNS THROUGH THE
EXTENDED.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
THE VERY DRY PATTERN CONTINUES TODAY ACROSS SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO AND
WEST TEXAS. OVERNIGHT RECOVERIES HAVE BEEN VERY POOR ACROSS PORTIONS
OF SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO INCLUDING THE GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS WITH SOME
RELATIVE HUMIDITIES HOLDING NEAR OR BELOW 15 PERCENT. NORTHWESTERLY
WINDS WILL INCREASE AROUND MID MORNING AND RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL
DROP BELOW 10 PERCENT FOR MOST AREAS NEAR AND WEST OF THE TRANS
PECOS BY MID DAY. 20 FOOT WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO MEET OR EXCEED
CRITICAL THRESHOLDS ACROSS THE GUADALUPE AND DAVIS MOUNTAINS AND
QUITE POSSIBLY PORTIONS OF THE TRANS PECOS AND VAN HORN/HWY 54
CORRIDOR. AS A RESULT OF THESE EXPECTED CONDITIONS...THE FIRE
WEATHER WATCH HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO A RED FLAG WARNING FOR THE ABOVE
MENTIONED AREAS.

BREWSTER COUNTY HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN ADDED TO THE FIRE WEATHER
WATCH...HOWEVER THINK WINDS WILL NOT MEET WARNING CRITERIA FOR 3
HOURS OR MORE SO JUST ISSUED A FIRE DANGER STATEMENT FOR THIS
AREA. IN ADDITION TO BREWSTER COUNTY...PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST NEW
MEXICO AND THE WESTERN PERMIAN BASIN MAY EXPERIENCE ELEVATED FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS AS WELL. THESE AREAS WILL ALSO BE HANDLED WITH
A FIRE DANGER STATEMENT. OVERNIGHT RECOVERIES TONIGHT WILL RANGE
FROM POOR TO GOOD FROM WEST TO EAST.

THERE WILL BE A SHORT LULL IN FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ON TUESDAY...
HOWEVER THIS WILL END WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AS A STRONG UPPER LOW
APPROACHES THE REGION FROM THE WEST. CRITICAL RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND
20 FOOT WIND THRESHOLDS WILL RETURN TO GENERALLY THE WESTERN HALF OF
THE FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY AND MAY RESULT IN A HIGH END FIRE WEATHER
DAY ACROSS THESE AREAS. AFTER A GENERALLY POOR TO GOOD RECOVERY
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THURSDAY COULD BE A CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER DAY AS
WELL HOWEVER IT COULD BE A LITTLE MORE WIDESPREAD.
