NWS Lubbock, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Mar 8, 10:54 PM CST, 3 hours 17 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 8, 10:54 PM CST, 3 hours 17 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lubbock TX 1054 PM CST Fri Mar 8 2019 .DISCUSSION... Gusty winds mainly associated with sprinkles/light showers are staying up in advisory criteria across northwestern zones despite the precip moving east of those areas. Will have the potential for sustained advisory level winds later tonight as the Pacific front and maybe additional elevated showers move in from New Mexico. Have hoisted a Wind Advisory for the northwestern/north-central six zones. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1034 PM CST Fri Mar 8 2019/ AVIATION... A Pacific front has moved through LBB and PVW bringing strong southwest winds. Expect the front to push through CDS in the next few hours then for winds to become more westerly at all sites. Wind speeds will stay up around 20 kts with gusts to 35 kts through mid afternoon before decreasing to around 10 kts in the evening. PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 249 PM CST Fri Mar 8 2019/ DISCUSSION... This afternoon water vapor continues to show a deep fetch of mid and high level moisture streaming over the region. Our next Pacific storm system continues to move eastward and will begin to affect the area late this evening and overnight. As the system and its dynamics cross the FA we will see area wide scattered rain showers. Soundings suggest that off the Caprock there could be minimal instability. Thus, a rumble of thunder could be heard. While winds will be the main impact with this storm system the strongest winds will occur during the morning and early afternoon hours saving the region from wind advisory strength winds. Blowing dust will also be a concern during this time frame. Breezy winds will continue throughout the day tomorrow and begin to taper off from west to east around sunset. Sunday into Monday will be mostly uneventful as the area falls under zonal flow and then a quick shortwave ridge. A weak cool front will move through the area Sunday. The only impact from the front will be cooler than normal temperatures. Monday our next Pacific storm system will begin to take shape off the SOCAL coast. This system appears wetter and windy. Ahead of the systems arrival, Gulf moisture will begin to stream into the area providing plenty of cloud cover Monday and isolated rain showers. The actual dynamics associated with this system will arrive Tuesday. Tuesday through Wednesday we will see increased precipitation chances and again, there will be enough instability with this system to include thunderstorms in the forecast. Wednesday afternoon into early Thursday winds will increase further (but stay below wind advisory levels) as the system exits the region. Friday, an upper level longwave trough will stretch across much of the western CONUS as a surface cool front moves through the FA dropping temperatures back down below normal. && .LUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Wind Advisory until 5 AM CST Saturday for TXZ021>023-027>029. && 07/08
