PATCHY BLOWING DUST MAY ALSO OCCUR...BUT HAVE OMITTED FROM THIS FCST
SINCE IT WOULD MOST LIKELY OCCUR NEAR OR JUST BEYOND THIS FCST TIME
FRAME.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 519 AM CST TUE NOV 10 2015/

AVIATION...
GENERALLY CLEAR SKY EXPECTED TODAY AND TONIGHT WITH CIRRUS BEING THE
ONLY CLOUDS OF NOTE.  SOUTHWEST SURFACE WINDS AROUND 15 KT EXPECTED
FOR MOST OF THE MORNING...WITH GUSTS IN THE 25 TO 30 KT RANGE
COMMENCING AROUND 17Z AT KAMA...AND AROUND 18-19Z AT NORTHERN
TERMINALS.

A BRIEF LULL IN SURFACE WIND SPEEDS EXPECTED THIS EVENING...BUT THEN
SOUTHWEST SURFACE WINDS RESUME GUSTING TO AROUND 30 KT AROUND 08-09Z
WEDNESDAY AS STRONGLY DYNAMIC SYSTEM BEGINS TO IMPACT PANHANDLES.  IF
THESE GUSTS TO NOT MATERIALIZE DURING THIS TIME...THEN LOW-LEVEL
WIND SHEAR WILL LIKELY BE OCCURRING...WITH WINDS IN THE 1200 TO 2000
FT RANGE AROUND 250 DEGREES AT 50 KT.

AVIATION WEATHER WARNING FOR SURFACE GUSTS ABOVE 40 KT WILL ALMOST
CERTAINLY BE NEEDED FOR WEDNESDAY...JUST BEYOND THE TIME FRAME OF
THIS FORECAST.  BLOWING DUST CAN ALSO BE EXPECTED ON WEDNESDAY.

COCKRELL

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 431 AM CST TUE NOV 10 2015/

DISCUSSION...
A POSITIVELY TILTED UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH DIGGING INTO THE INTER-
MOUNTAIN WEST TODAY WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR SENSIBLE WEATHER ACROSS THE
PANHANDLES TODAY AND TOMORROW. SOUTHWEST WINDS ALOFT AND AT THE
SURFACE WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE AS MID-LEVEL HEIGHT GRADIENTS TIGHTEN
AND A LEE SIDE SURFACE LOW DEVELOPS OVER EASTERN CO/WESTERN KS.
EXPECT SOUTHWEST SURFACE WINDS TODAY TO APPROACH 20 TO 25 MPH TODAY
ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA...WITH GUSTS UP TO 30 TO 40 MPH DURING THE
AFTERNOON. WINDS ON ON WEDNESDAY WILL REALLY PICK UP AS THE UPPER-
LEVEL LOW PRESSURE DEEPENS AND SLIDES OVER SOUTHERN COLORADO AND
KANSAS. WEST WINDS WILL INCREASE TO AROUND 25 TO 40 MPH BEHIND A
PACIFIC COLD FRONT THAT RUSHES THROUGH THE PANHANDLES LATE
TONIGHT...WITH THE HIGHEST WINDS LIKELY ACROSS THE OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE
AND NORTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE TOMORROW. WIND GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH WILL
BE POSSIBLE ACROSS MOST OF THE PANHANDLES TOMORROW...WITH GUSTS
POSSIBLY EXCEEDING 60 MPH ACROSS THE FAR NORTHERN PORTION OF THE
COMBINED PANHANDLES.

MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO BE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE END OF
THIS WEEK AND BEGINS TO DIVERGE OVER THE WEEKEND. LOWER CONFIDENCE
FOR FORECAST ELEMENTS FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK. A COOL SURFACE HIGH
SETTLES IN FOR FRIDAY...AND IT APPEARS THE FIRST WIDESPREAD FREEZE
WILL BE POSSIBLE FRIDAY MORNING IF NOT ON THURSDAY MORNING. THE FAR
SOUTHEASTERN TEXAS PANHANDLE COULD HOVER JUST ABOVE FREEZING BOTH
NIGHTS. SEASONABLE WEATHER THROUGH THE WEEKEND BEFORE POSSIBLY
UNSETTLED WEATHER ONCE AGAIN FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK. MODELS HAVE BEEN
STRUGGLING TO DEFINE THE PATTERN FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK...BUT ANOTHER
UPPER LOW OVER THE WESTERN CONUS COULD BRING AT LEAST SOME PRECIP
CHANCE TO OUR AREA BETWEEN SUNDAY AND TUESDAY. INCLUDED A FEW PERIODS
OF LOW END POPS FOR NOW.

FIRE WEATHER...
BREEZY SOUTHWEST WINDS AND AFTERNOON MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES
DROPPING TO BETWEEN 15 AND 20 PERCENT THIS AFTERNOON WILL LEAD TO
ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TODAY. HAVE OPTED CONVERT FIRE
WEATHER WATCH TO A GRASSLAND FIRE DANGER STATEMENT AND EXPAND TO
COVER THE WESTERN TWO-THIRDS OF THE TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA PANHANDLES.
PARTIALLY CURED FUELS HAVE BEGUN TO DRY OUT SOME FROM RECENT
RAINS...THOUGH CURRENT FUEL MOISTURE REMAINS ABOVE NORMAL AND ERC
VALUES ARE STILL BELOW THE 50TH PERCENTILE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.
HOWEVER...STRONG WINDS AND EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH FUEL LOADINGS COULD
STILL LEAD TO AN INCREASED RISK FOR RAPID FIRE SPREADING DESPITE THE
MARGINAL FUEL DRYNESS. CONDITIONS TOMORROW WILL BE VERY
WINDY...HOWEVER HUMIDITY SHOULD REMAIN JUST HIGH ENOUGH BEHIND THE
COLD FRONT TO PRECLUDE ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS DEVELOPING.
