.AVIATION...
Gusty northeasterly winds continue across the area this afternoon,
with winds expected to gradually veer toward the east after
31/00Z. Winds will remain elevated through the period, though
gusts will diminish through this evening. At issuance, MVFR
ceilings are still affecting FST, with improvement to VFR expected
within the first hour or two of the forecast period. VFR
conditions will otherwise prevail.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 432 AM CDT Sat Mar 30 2019/
DISCUSSION...
Latest sfc analysis shows the cold front just moving thru KMAF at
09Z, w/a dryline running directly south, making the triple point
invof KMAF. It would be nice if a little convection accompanied
this, but this looks to be a dry event.
The arrival of the cold front will take temps well-below normal
today thru Monday, bottoming out Sunday afternoon in the 50s most
locations. Models bring higher winds aloft down thru the mountains
near the Rio Grande today and tonight, especially the Big Bend area,
and we've issued an advisory as a result. Gap winds overnight
remain on the bubble, and we'll keep the watch going and defer that
to the day shift.
WV imagery shows zonal flow aloft over West Texas and Southeast New
Mexico this morning, and zonal it looks to remain over the weekend
as an upper trough digs to the Four Corners by 00Z Monday. Sunday
night, this feature is forecast to open and move into Central Texas
by 18Z Monday. By this time, models hint at a warm front pushing the
old frontal boundary back north, and developing rain along this
feature overnight. Forecast soundings show deep enough saturation
nrn zones that a little -RASN can't be ruled out late Sunday
night/early Monday morning, but accumulations look negligible. This
activity will diminish east Monday morning.
Temps return to normal Tuesday afternoon, and then rise above-normal
under weak ridging aloft into the extended. Grids remain dry until
Friday night, when long-range models hint at an upper trough
developing convection over the east.
