TODAY...TIGHTENING UP H7 PRESSURE GRADIENTS TO 60M/200NM BY 21Z.
SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS A SFC TROUGH LYING ALONG ERN NM...AND SFC
GRADIENTS ARE ALSO PROGGED TO TIGHTEN UP AS THIS FEATURE SINKS TO
THE S PLAINS BY 00Z MONDAY. FORECAST SOUNDINGS AT KCNM/KGDP MIX OUT
TO BETTER THAN 650MB TODAY...WHERE A 60+KT SPEED MAX WILL BE PASSING

TIGHTENING THE AFOREMENTIONED H7/SFC PRESSURE GRADIENTS FURTHER SOUTH
AND EAST INTO THE CWA...AND WE/LL EXTENDED WARNINGS/ADVISORIES AS
SUCH FOR THE OVERNIGHT HRS. SHORTLY AFTER 00Z...MODELS SHARPEN UP A
DRYLINE ALONG THE ERN ZONES...LARGE-SCALE ASCENT AND ELEVATED
INSTABILITY SHOULD INITIATE CONVECTION ALONG THIS FEATURE AFTER 00Z
AS THE PAC FRONT PLOWS EAST. AS THE UPPER TROUGH MOVES INTO THE S
PLAINS BY 12Z MONDAY...RAIN SHOWERS SHOULD DEVELOP OVER THE NRN
ZONES...CHANGING OVER TO SNOW OVERNIGHT. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW
MOISTURE WILL BE VERY SHALLOW...BUT W/THE COLUMN SATURATED JUST
DEEP/COLD ENOUGH FOR A CHANGEOVER. LITTLE ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED.
THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD TAPER OFF W-E MONDAY AS THE UPPER TROUGH
APPROACHES THE ARKLATEX.
MONDAY...THE FA WILL BE ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE UPPER
TROUGH...W/MODELS FORECASTING ONE OF THE WINDIEST DAYS FOR SE
NM/WEST TEXAS IN SOME TIME AS THE PAC FRONT MOVES THRU. BY

775MB AT KMAF AND KBPG...WHERE THE NAM ADVERTISES 50-60KT FLOW ON
THE BACKSIDE/SUBSIDENCE OF THE TROUGH. NEEDLESS TO SAY...MOST ZONES
OVER THE CENTRAL/EASTERN FA WILL NEED AT LEAST WIND ADVISORIES FOR
MONDAY. DEPENDING ON WHICH MODEL...SOME AREAS MAY EVEN MEET HIGH
WIND WARNING CRITERIA. BECAUSE OF THESE UNCERTAINTIES...AND SO AS
NOT TO SOW CONFUSION W/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES ISSUED FOR
