line of TS will impact all TAF sites beginning around 00Z

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 256 PM CDT Mon Mar 11 2019/

DISCUSSION...

.Severe thunderstorms possible Tuesday with strong to damaging
winds expected Wednesday across southeast New Mexico and much of
west Texas...

Powerful storm system entering southern California will make its
way eastward across the southern Rockies through Tuesday night and
then into the central Plains by Wednesday. Ahead of this system
areas of fog with elevated showers and thunderstorms will likely
develop in the warm advection regime above the cooler air overnight
and Tuesday morning across much of the region. Some of the fog
could be dense overnight in areas that see less precipitation and
a dense fog advisory may be needed in portions of the plains of west
Texas or southeast New Mexico. By late Tuesday afternoon/early
evening the upper level system will take on a negative tilt as it
approaches New Mexico providing strong lift and upper level
divergence above and along a colliding dryline/Pacific front. A
squall line is expected to develop by early Tuesday evening across
southeast New Mexico and extreme west Texas and move east Tuesday
night. Strong to severe thunderstorms will likely develop with
heavy rainfall and localized flooding as the the squall line
quickly moves east across west Texas.

Behind the dryline/cold front widespread strong to damaging winds
are expected Wednesday through Wednesday night across southeast
New Mexico and west Texas behind this system as it moves into the
central Plains. Progged wind fields through the column indicate
the potential for a high end damaging wind event with wind gusts
of 60 to 80 mph in the plains and over 90 mph in the mountains.
Areas of blowing dust are also expected Wednesday despite the
precipitation expected Tuesday night. Stay tuned for later
updates.

Behind this system cooler (below normal) and dry conditions are
expected Wednesday through the remainder of the week and into the
weekend. A weaker disturbance may set off some showers Friday
night or Saturday but confidence was not high enough to include at
this time.
