...New AVIATION...

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 623 PM CDT Tue May 10 2022

VFR will prevail through the forecast period. Current radar
imagery shows TSRA/VCTS near FST and HOB. Storms will continue to
weaken over the next few hours, however gusty outflow winds remain
possible, mainly at FST, HOB, and MAF. Will monitor and amd as
needed. Winds will continue to be elevated out of the S-SE
overnight due to a stout low-lvl jet.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Wednesday night)
Issued at 113 PM CDT Tue May 10 2022

An active afternoon/evening of severe weather is upon us as we head
through the next few hours. Digging into the mesoscale...the dryline
is currently situated from Lea County NM south to Pecos and the Big
Bend. Towering Cu is already evident on visible satellite across the
Stockton Plateau where strong surface heating has led to MLCAPE
values near 4000 J/kg. This is where hi-res models pinpoint initial
storm development over the next hour or so. A deep well-mixed
subcloud layer will support damaging winds while moderate vertical
shear keeps the potential for large hail in play. An isolated
tornado or two are possible during the earlier stages of convection
while storms are more discrete. There is some indication that storms
may grow upscale this evening and evolve into one or more clusters
(mainly over the Permian Basin and Trans Pecos). This would support
a potential for more widespread severe winds if it does occur.
Storms will move east and dissipate late in the evening.

Wednesday will feature more of the same with the dryline expected to
shift even further west setting up along the Pecos River and Davis
Mountains by afternoon. More storms will develop along the boundary
by late afternoon with another threat of severe storms. While not as
widespread as today, large hail and damaging winds will be the main
threats tomorrow. These storms will shift east during the evening,
but look to diminish before reaching too far into the Permian Basin.
Temperatures Wednesday will be similar to today with highs mostly in
the 90s and lows staying very warm in the upper 60s and low 70s.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday through  Monday)
Issued at 113 PM CDT Tue May 10 2022

Much of the excitement will be in the short term period with hot
temperatures and drier conditions dominating much of the long term.
An upper level trough over CA will sweep across the Rockies and up
into Canada on Thursday and Friday, departing too far to the north
to significantly impact our temperatures. As such, highs on both
Thursday and Friday will be in the low to mid 90s with triple digits
along the Rio Grande, pretty typical for this time of year. Multiple
weak shortwaves will pass through the region Thursday and Friday,
each day providing enough energy to get at least a few storms
somewhere across the Permian Basin and lower Trans Pecos. Neither
day looks to be as eventful as today or Wednesday, but a severe
storm or two cannot be ruled out. Beyond Friday, ridging and
southerly surface flow will result in a warming and drying trend,
which each afternoon through the weekend in the upper 90s before we
break into the triple digits once again early next week. No
precipitation is expected after Friday.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 113 PM CDT Tue May 10 2022

A Fire Danger Statement is in effect for this afternoon across
Southeast New Mexico, Culberson County, and the Guadalupe and
Delaware Mountains where humidity will fall to as low as 7%. 20FT
winds will remain relatively light this afternoon, below 15 mph
nearly everywhere. Despite moisture returning to much of the Permian
Basin and lower Trans Pecos, low humidity across the west and
critically dry fuels mean that any fires that develop will be able
to spread easily. Thunderstorms developing off the dryline this
afternoon could bring gusty and erratic winds, frequent lightning,
and even some brief, heavy rainfall. Storms chances are best for Lea
County, the lower Trans Pecos and Permian Basin. On Wednesday, the
dryline will set up over SE New Mexico and humidity is expected to
remain above critical levels nearly everywhere outside of the higher
terrain of New Mexico. Thunderstorms will once again be possible,
with the best chances further west over SE New Mexico and the upper
Trans Pecos. Again, gusty and erratic winds, along with frequent
lightning, may accompany any of these storms.

Drier conditions will creep back into the higher terrain and SE New
Mexico on Thursday and Friday, where an RFD may be needed. Storms
will be possible each afternoon through Friday with precipitation
chances falling off after that. Fire weather concerns will increase
for the weekend and beyond with drier conditions in place and above
normal temperatures.
