What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this high wind warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Lubbock, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this high wind warning went out at Mar 12, 12:46 PM CDT, 1 hour 57 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 12, 12:46 PM CDT, 1 hour 57 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lubbock TX 1246 PM CDT Tue Mar 12 2019 .AVIATION... Current thunderstorm activity was quickly moving through KLBB and KPVW but is not expected to produce much wind with continued LIFR conditions. Although some clearing is expected after the thunderstorms pass, dense fog is expected to move back into the terminals shortly. KCDS will likely see thunderstorm activity as well early this afternoon as the activity moves east. Improvement in visbys is expected late this afternoon at all TAF sites but CIGS will likely remain in IFR category. A line of thunderstorms is then expected around 04-06Z at KLBB/KPVW and 06-08Z at KCDS which could bring strong and variable winds. Historically strong winds out of the west will begin to increase by late Wednesday morning. && .UPDATE... The forecast is still on track for the rest of this afternoon and overnight. However, the dense fog advisory was extended through 5 pm for areas on the caprock. Although some clearing is expected behind the line of thunderstorms, fog is expected to move back in. The current batch of thunderstorms moving through the region has little chance of severe weather associated with it. Surface heating in southeastern New Mexico combined with dewpoints in the upper 50s and possibly lower 60s will create additional thunderstorm development late this afternoon. This convection will likely be in the form of strongly rotating discrete supercells. The farther east this convection moves, the less favorable environment it will be moving in to. However, very strong low level turning in the lower level winds will promote a tornado threat as the storms approach the southwestern South Plains. A QLCS type system is still expected late tonight into early Wednesday morning. This squall line is expected to move into West Texas around 9-10pm, Lubbock around 11pm-midnight, and the Rolling Plains 1-2am. Very strong large scale lift is seen in water vapor imagery around southeast AZ/southwest NM and will move east this evening initiating convection closer to the region. && PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 305 AM CDT Tue Mar 12 2019/ .SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT FOLLOWED BY A LONG-LIVED HIGH WIND EVENT ON WEDNESDAY... DISCUSSION... TODAY AND TONIGHT: Surface observations and regional webcams at 3 AM revealed widespread fog, drizzle and stratus within an increasingly moist E-SE flow regime. Surface winds remain weak, but a couple thousand feet aloft is where the biggest changes were underway. This process involved strong warm air advection along an 850mb warm front aligned from roughly Carlsbad northeast to Lubbock to Caprock Canyons, with the nose of a low level jet directed across the western South Plains. Composite radar data shows a slow uptick in light reflectivities aloft, but thus far isentropic ascent has not been productive for precip generation after midnight. However, this theme is expected to improve near daybreak with the arrival of a 100 knot upper jet max which in turn amplifies the LLJ to 50 knots or better. Most models and CAMs are keying on this scenario, but this delayed onset of precip may imply the greatest corridor of elevated thunderstorms ends up migrating to the north and northwest of Lubbock as warm air advection shifts slowly northward through the morning. Have kept PoPs generous for now through the morning hours mainly on the Caprock and southern Panhandle before a distinct lull likely develops this afternoon in response to mid-level subsidence downstream of very strong ascent bulls-eyeing in NM. This subsidence won't be deep enough to rid us of stratus, but dense fog should taper back by this afternoon as milder temps and dewpoints in the low-to-mid 50s advect northward ahead of a warm front expected to reach Highway 380 by late afternoon. On that note, the Dense Fog Advisory was extended until 1 PM and may require further extension if the HRRR is correct. Otherwise, the ingredients for a fast-moving and severe squall line remain on track this evening and overnight as incredibly stout height falls and a strong Pacific cold front plow east courtesy of a negatively tilted trough. Although a window exists for isolated supercells later this afternoon ahead of this line (mainly across our far SW zones along the nose of a decent MLCAPE axis), deep subsidence and capping well ahead of the Pacific front look to prevent this scenario from materializing. What we will be monitoring closely is the potential for QLCS mesos and tornadoes this evening and tonight along the squall line given 0-1 km shear ratcheting up to 50 knots which is more than sufficient for such episodes. SPC's tornado outlook encompasses this threat nicely across the southern half of our CWA along and just north of the warm front where SRH values will be maximized. Even though this squall line should race east at highway speeds, rich PWATs over 1/2 inch and incredible lift will still produce heavy downpours and some nuisance/minor flooding. The severe hail threat is expected to take a backseat to downbursts and even brief tornadoes as the squall line should be fully mature upon reaching our western zones around 8 to 9 PM. Barring some stratiform wake region precip, rain should quickly wane from W-E once the squall line passes. WEDNESDAY AND BEYOND: Rapid surface cyclogenesis will focus across far SE Colorado and adjacent areas of KS on Wednesday as the upper cyclone slows considerably while also intensifying drastically. This process puts our forecast area under a swath of intense 850mb flow of 40-50 knots through the entire day. Although confidence is high in a High Wind Warning, we have held off for now after coordination with our neighboring offices. Some light rain showers may clip our NW zones Wed night as a potent mid- level cold pocket rotates eastward on the SW edge of the departing cyclone, but temp profiles should remain mild enough for this to remain liquid. A Canadian front meanwhile will slide south overnight and through all of the region on Thursday ahead of steady northerly winds. Farther upstream, a slow moving upper low is still progged to advance over the South Plains this weekend with perhaps some rain showers in the offing, but this potential still looks comparably better in NM where upslope easterly flow should encourage better ascent. Thereafter, winds aloft remain cyclonic, but veer more NW downstream of a longwave ridge poised over most of the Rockies. This flow should deliver some cool air reinforcements with little/no drama otherwise through Tuesday. && .LUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... High Wind Watch from Wednesday morning through Wednesday evening for TXZ021>044. Dense Fog Advisory until 5 PM CDT this afternoon for TXZ021>024- 027>030-033>036-039>042. && 01

A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for the South Plains and extreme southwestern Texas Panhandle until 5 PM. Later this afternoon, thunderstorms are likely to develop in southeastern New Mexico and spread northeast. Some of these storms will be capable of producing hail up to nickel size and brief tornadoes. After sunset, a squall line is expected to race east across the region accompanied by downburst winds as high as 80 mph, some severe hail near quarter size, and heavy downpours. Strong low level wind shear along this squall line may also support the development of brief tornadoes, mainly across the southern South Plains near a warm front. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday A long-lived high wind event is expected over all of the region on Wednesday south of a rapidly intensifying area of low pressure. Westerly winds of 40 to 50 mph with gusts near 70 mph will be possible for potentially 10 or more hours in addition to widespread blowing dust. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Limited storm spotter activation is possible later today and tonight. Storm motions ahead of the squall line will be around 45 mph to the northeast, while the squall line should move due east at 55 to 60 mph.
