SCHNEIDER

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 500 AM CDT TUE APR 1 2014/

DISCUSSION...
AN ACTIVE PERIOD OF FIRE WEATHER CONTINUES ON THE SOUTHERN PLAINS /SEE
FIRE WEATHER SECTION BELOW/.

A COLD FRONT PASSED WELL SOUTH OF THE PANHANDLES OVERNIGHT. THE
IMPACTS OF THIS IS FRONTAL INTRUSION WILL BE MINOR AND BRIEF...AS
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL CONTINUE TO DEEPEN A LEE SURFACE TROUGH
IN ADVANCE OF A SHORTWAVE TROUGH PROGGED TO EJECT OVER THE PLAINS
THURSDAY. THE WARMEST TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL OCCUR OVER THE
SOUTHWEST/WESTERN PANHANDLES WHERE MIXING WILL MITIGATE THE EFFECTS
OF THE OVERNIGHT FRONT. WARM/DRY CONDITIONS WILL FURTHER OVERSPREAD
ALL OF THE PANHANDLES WEDNESDAY AS THE REMNANT FRONT MIXES NORTHWARD
OVER KANSAS. MODELS CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON A SOLUTION DEPICTING THURSDAY/S
SHORTWAVE TROUGH EJECTING OVER WESTERN KANSAS DURING THE AFTERNOON.
WHILE THERE IS NOW GENERAL AGREEMENT ON THIS SYNOPTIC SCENARIO...TIMING
THE ANTICIPATED FRONTAL PASSAGE REMAINS DIFFICULT. IF FROPA IS SLOW
AS DEPICTED BY THE GFS/ECMWF SOLUTIONS...THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE TEXAS
PANHANDLE MAYBE SUBJECTED TO THE PERIPHERY OF A HIGH WIND/DUST EVENT BY
MIDDAY THURSDAY. CONFIDENCE IN THIS IS LOW DUE TO THE FASTER NAM
DEPICTION. WILL MAINTAIN MENTION OF PATCHY BLOWING DUST...BUT HAVE
CONCERN A DUST THREAT COULD OCCUR WITH POST FRONTAL WINDS EMERGING
FROM EASTERN COLORADO LATER IN THE DAY. OTHERWISE...LIGHT QPF SIGNALS
OVER THE OKLAHOMA/NORTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT LOW
POPS IN THOSE AREAS.

A COOLING TREND IS EXPECTED IN WAKE OF THIS SYSTEM BY THE WEEKEND.
ATTENTION THEN FOCUSES ON THE PASSAGE OF ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROUGH
LATE SATURDAY/SUNDAY. THIS SYSTEM CONTINUES TO ENTERTAIN HOPES OF
BREAKING THE CURRENT DRY PERIOD WITH AT LEAST SLIGHT CHANCES FOR
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

FIRE WEATHER...
CRITICAL CONDITIONS WILL BE FOCUSED OVER THE PLAINS OF EASTERN
NEW MEXICO TODAY...BUT WILL SPILL EASTWARD OVER THE WESTERN PANHANDLES
AS THE COLD FRONT WHICH PASSED OVERNIGHT MIXES OUT. TRENDS IN THE
HIGH RES MODELS SUPPORT OBSERVATIONAL EVIDENCE THAT THE FRONTAL PUSH
WAS STRONGER THAN SUGGESTED...AND THAT RECOVERY TOWARD RENEWED
CRITICAL CONDITIONS MAY BE SLOW/LIMITED TO THE WESTERN ZONES LATE
THIS AFTERNOON. THIS MAY REDUCE THE OVERALL SIGNIFICANT FIRE
POTENTIAL TODAY GIVEN THAT THE BEST ALIGNMENT OF THERMAL RIDGE AND
WIND WILL BE OVER AN AREA OF RELATIVELY LESS ROBUST FUEL LOADINGS IN
THE WESTERN TEXAS PANHANDLE. STILL...ERC/S NOW APPROACHING THE 97TH
PERCENTILE THERE INDICATE ACCELERATED DRYING OF WHAT FUELS ARE
PRESENT. SUFFICIENT MODEL EVIDENCE OF RELATIVELY HIGHER HUMIDITIES
EXISTS TO PRECLUDE EXPANDING FIRE HEADLINES EAST OF THE CAPROCK AT
THIS TIME.

DOWNSLOPE WARM/DRY REGIME WILL BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD WEDNESDAY. GIVEN
AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES WARMING TO SOME 10 TO 15 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL
WITH WIDESPREAD SINGLE DIGIT HUMIDITIES...THE RISK FOR SIGNIFICANT
WILDLAND FIRES MAY INCREASE THEN...ESPECIALLY AS THESE CONDITIONS SPREAD
EAST OVER AREAS EAST OF THE CAPROCK WHERE HIGHER FUEL LOADINGS EXIST AND
RECENT FIRE ACTIVITY HAS OCCURRED.

THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN FAVORS A FURTHER INCREASE IN SIGNIFICANT FIRE POTENTIAL
THURSDAY...BUT THE TRAJECTORY OF THE PARENT STORM SYSTEM MAY RESULT
IN AN EARLY FRONTAL PASSAGE AND COOLER TEMPERATURES. THIS SUGGEST THAT
THIS THREAT MAY EVOLVE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST OF THE PANHANDLES. WILL MONITOR
SOLUTION TRENDS ON THE FRONTAL PASSAGE BEFORE POSTING A FIRE WEATHER WATCH.
