Area forecast discussion, May 7, 10:49 PM MDT, 5 hours 14 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
1149 PM CDT Wed May 7 2014
.AVIATION...
VFR conditions will prevail next 24 hours as a Pac front moves
thru the area, veering winds to the W-NW.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 923 PM CDT Wed May 7 2014/
DISCUSSION...
Have cancelled RFW across the most of the Basin. Will take another
look at rest of RFW around 1030 AM.
PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 656 PM CDT Wed May 7 2014/
AVIATION...
00Z TAF issuance...
The main aviation concern for the next 24 hours will be strong
erratic winds and lightning due to high-based convective activity
this evening and overnight. Over the last hour, area thunderstorms
have resulted in strong winds at MAF, decreasing vsbys down to 2SM
at times. An AWW remains in place for MAF until 0030Z but will
need to reissue if current conditions persist. Will continue the
mention of strong winds, lower vsbys and -TSRA in a tempo for the
next few hours and will amend when needed according to radar
trends. For now, it looks as though most of the activity will
remain east of all the other TAF sites but convection could
increase near MAF and possibly FST later tonight as the dryline
retreats westward. The dryline is currently east of all terminals
and gusty southwest winds around 15-20kts sustained can be
expected through 08/02Z. Otherwise...westerly winds begin to
increase mid to late morning Thursday with mostly clear skies
expected.
PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 251 PM CDT Wed May 7 2014/
DISCUSSION...
An upper level trough is approaching the region today with upper
lift increasing ahead of the trough. A lee surface trough is again
developing across West Texas and eastern New Mexico this afternoon
with gusty southwest winds across the CWA. Temperatures today will
be similar or a couple of degrees cooler than yesterday as heights
fall over the area. An upper level jet associated with the base of
the upper trough is moving over the region causing higher winds to
mix down to the surface. A High Wind Warning is in effect for the
Guadalupe Mountains and a Wind Advisory is in effect for the
southeast New Mexico plains, Van Horn and Highway 54 Corridor, Davis
Mountains, Marfa Plateau, and southeastward to the Big Bend area
this afternoon and evening. A dryline has developed across the far
eastern CWA this afternoon and is expected to retrograde westward
this evening. Strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible along
and east of the dryline with CAPE values over 2000 J/kg and 0 to 6
km bulk shear vectors around 45 to 50 kts. A severe thunderstorm
watch has been issued for Mitchell and Scurry Counties. A cumulus
field has already started to develop across the area with
thunderstorms beginning to develop to the northeast of the CWA.
Showers and thunderstorms will move out of the area Thursday morning
with west winds and cooler temperatures prevailing across the area
during the day as the upper trough moves over the central conus. On
Friday, a shortwave associated with the upper trough will move over
the Big Bend area possibly producing some convection but it will
likely remain south and east of the CWA. Temperatures will warm up
slightly on Friday but will warm up even more on Saturday as a
surface trough becomes established under west southwest flow aloft.
Another upper level trough will approach the region on Sunday and
the base of the trough will move over the area on Monday. A dryline
will develop across the area late Sunday evening with thunderstorms
possibly developing during the overnight hours. This will occur
ahead of a cold front associated with the upper trough that is
expected to move into the CWA on Monday. Temperatures on Monday
will cool to slightly below average and will be cooler for Tuesday
as well.
FIRE WEATHER...
Winds have been slow to increase across the area today, we are are
finally seeing critical fire weather conditions at several observing
locations. Most of the locations are in low end or marginal Red Flag
criteria, but with such very dry fuels the broad warning seems
warranted and will let it run its course through this evening. There
will poor humidity recovery tonight, but the upper trough bringing
the gusty winds today will be moving east tomorrow allowing for
lighter winds. The only location that should be in Red Flag Warning
Thursday will be the Guadalupe Mountains which have been upgraded.
Very dry air will remain in place through the weekend so the fire
weather forecast will be mainly one of winds, which are expected to
remain below 20 mph as the jet stream holds well to the north.
