PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 352 AM CDT THU MAR 21 2013/

DISCUSSION...
A SIGNIFICANT WARMUP IS ON TAP FOR TODAY AS A SURFACE TROUGH
CONTINUES TO DEVELOP LEE OF THE ROCKIES IN ADVANCE OF AN UPPER LEVEL
SYSTEM NOW ENTERING THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST THIS MORNING. EXPECT
AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPERATURES TO GENERALLY BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S
WITH SOME 90S IN THE LOWER ELEVATIONS OF THE PECOS AND RIO GRANDE
RIVER VALLEYS. WESTERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE REGION TODAY
WITH THE HELP OF INCREASING ZONAL FLOW ALOFT. HIGH WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP IN THE GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS BY MID DAY AND A HIGH
WIND WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THIS AREA THROUGH THIS EVENING.
SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS OF 35 TO 50 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 70 MPH WILL
BE POSSIBLE. WINDS WILL DECREASE BELOW HIGH WIND WARNING CRITERIA
SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET TONIGHT. CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL
ALSO BE POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE REGION TODAY...PLEASE SEE
THE FIRE WEATHER SECTION BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS.

A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PUSH THROUGH THE NORTHEASTERN ZONES
FRIDAY MORNING THEN STALL SOMETIME BEFORE IT GETS TO THE PECOS
RIVER. NOT ENTIRELY SURE HOW FAR SOUTHWEST THIS FRONT WILL MAKE IT
AND THIS CONTINUES TO BE PROBLEMATIC FOR FORECASTING FRIDAY HIGH
TEMPERATURES FOR THE PERMIAN BASIN REGION. THERE WILL STILL APPEAR
TO BE A SHARP TEMPERATURE GRADIENT ACROSS THIS AREA...RANGING FROM
THE LOW 60S NORTHEAST TO THE MID 80S IN THE TRANS PECOS.
ELSEWHERE...EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO TOP OUT IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOW
80S WITH A FEW LOCATIONS REACHING 90 ALONG THE RIO GRANDE. WEST OF
THE FRONT...WESTERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE AND RESULT IN
HIGH WINDS IN THE GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS ONCE AGAIN. WIND SPEEDS WILL
REMAIN ELEVATED INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
DIVES SOUTHEAST INTO THE FOUR CORNERS REGION...AND EVENTUALLY
SWINGING THROUGH THE TEXAS PANHANDLE ON SATURDAY. UNFORTUNATELY
THIS WILL ONLY LEAD TO CONTINUED DRY CONDITIONS AND ELEVATED
WESTERLY WINDS FOR SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO AND WEST TEXAS. CURRENTLY
HAVE THE HIGH WIND WARNING FOR THE GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS ENDING
SATURDAY MORNING BUT THIS WILL LIKELY BE EXTENDED THROUGH SATURDAY
AFTERNOON IN LATER FORECAST PACKAGES.

A STRONG COLD FRONT IS STILL EXPECTED TO MOVE SOUTH THROUGH THE
CWA SATURDAY NIGHT WITH THE DEPARTURE OF THE UPPER TROUGH. THIS
FRONT WILL SHIFT WINDS TO THE NORTH AND USHER IN MUCH COOLER
TEMPERATURES FOR SUNDAY. THE COOLER AIR WILL BE SLOW TO BUDGE WITH
A SURFACE RIDGE DOMINATING MUCH OF THE US FOR A FEW DAYS. EXPECT
AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES GENERALLY IN THE MID 50S TO THE MID 60S
AREAWIDE SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY WITH THE LINGERING POSSIBILITY OF
FREEZING TEMPERATURES ACROSS NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FA EACH
MORNING. TEMPERATURES WILL SLOWLY BEGIN TO WARM WEDNESDAY THROUGH
THE END OF NEXT WEEK.

FIRE WEATHER...
DRY AIR IN PLACE THIS MORNING...COMBINED WITH INCREASING WINDS AHEAD
OF AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL CREATE CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS FROM SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO INTO THE DAVIS MOUNTAINS THIS
AFTERNOON. STRONG WINDS ARE EXPECTED IN THE GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS AND
SOME OF THIS WILL MIX EAST INTO THE ADJACENT PLAINS. MINIMUM
AFTERNOON HUMIDITIES WILL BE BELOW 15 PERCENT AREAWIDE HOWEVER
ABUNDANT UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS WILL INHIBIT STRONGER WINDS FROM MIXING
TO THE SURFACE FROM THE BIG BEND INTO THE PERMIAN BASIN.

WINDS WILL DIMINISH TONIGHT...BUT FAIR TO POOR RECOVERY WILL LEAD TO
ANOTHER DRY DAY ON FRIDAY. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ADVANCE AS
FAR AS THE PECOS RIVER FRIDAY AFTERNOON BRINGING A WIND SHIFT AND
LIGHTER WINDS TO THE EASTERN HALF OF THE AREA THOUGH OUT WEST WINDY
CONDITIONS ARE AGAIN EXPECTED CREATING MORE CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS.

SATURDAY WILL BE A REPEAT WITH THE FRONT RETREATING BACK NORTH AND
VERY DRY AIR AGAIN ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA. SATURDAY WILL SEE THE
MOST EXTENSIVE AREA OF FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS POSSIBLY INCLUDING
THE ENTIRE CWA AS WINDY CONDITIONS SPREAD EAST INTO THE EASTERN
BASIN AND WESTERN LOW ROLLING PLAINS. THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY IN
THE STRENGTH OF THE WINDS ON SATURDAY WITH SPEEDS MARGINAL FOR
CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS...THEREFORE WILL HOLD OFF ISSUING A
WATCH AT THIS TIME AND WILL WAIT FOR HIGHER CONFIDENCE. A COLD FRONT
SUNDAY WILL INCREASE RELATIVE HUMIDITIES TO AT OR ABOVE 15 PERCENT
ALLEVIATING FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS.
