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 Feb 25, 10:44 PM CST, 4 hours 18 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 25, 10:44 PM CST, 4 hours 18 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lubbock TX 1044 PM CST Sat Feb 25 2023 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Sunday) Issued at 239 PM CST Sat Feb 25 2023 A very strong storm system spinning over the California coast will bring some interesting weather to the South Plains area during the next 36 hours as it moves to a location near Las Vegas, NV by 12Z Sunday and to northeastern New Mexico by the end of the day tomorrow. Mid to upper level short wave ridging over the forecast area this afternoon will give way to backing and increasing flow as heights fall ahead of the upper low. At the surface tonight, the cold air mass that has been in place across the forecast area will get replaced by a warm and relatively humid one as a warm front lifts northward across the forecast area courtesy of increasing and robust low level warm and moist advection. Narrowing T/Td spreads will through the evening will support the formation of advection fog with the best chances of said fog being across the South Plains counties. Some of that fog will probably become dense, although with lack of clarity on timing and areal extent will hold off issuing a Dense Fog Advisory at this time. As the upper low approaches the Four Corners tomorrow morning, stratus will hold on tight across most of the forecast area as low level flow will remain backed toward due south. However, winds off the deck should remain veered enough to southwest to see some erosion of the stratus field from the west during the afternoon. This will eventually set up a dryline by early afternoon with a Pacific cold front expected to sweep across New Mexico as the upper low moves eastward along the New Mexico/Colorado line. Increasingly strong south winds will continue to pump rich but shallow low level moisture northward, and once the deep lift from the approaching low and its attendant 130 kt upper level jet in combination with the low level forcing of the cold front overcome the capping inversion, convective initiation on the High Plains is expected. That is likely to come in a window between 21Z and 00Z and likely west of I-27. How far south that convection is able to extend will be in large part due to how far south the strong, deep ascent is able to reach. For now, models continue to paint areas east of the Interstate and north of TX-114 as the best chance to see storms. Convective instability is expected to be fairly modest, i.e., generally less than 750 J/kg, and with the strong vertical shear, maintaining a healthy balance for severe storms, particularly hail and tornado will likely be difficult. Severe wind gusts remain favored, in large part because the underlying forecast wind speeds will already be approaching or in at least advisory levels. Finally, a synoptic, gradient high wind event is expected with a strong 80 kt mid-level jet nosing in immediately behind the cold front and supported by surface pressure rises of 8-10 mb per three hours. Will maintain the watch as is for now rather than upgrading to warning at this time, mainly as there as still some slight adjustments that could be made for timing and with the bulk of the event to occur from late second period deep into third period. && .LONG TERM... (Sunday night through next Friday) Issued at 239 PM CST Sat Feb 25 2023 The High Wind Watch will extend eastward to include our far eastern column of counties starting at 0Z Monday. Any storms that remain in the area past 0Z will quickly move to our east as a squall line. With background winds nearing or exceeding high wind criteria and winds near 700 mb greater than 65 kt, any storms that move across the area (mostly areas off the Caprock) will be capable of producing wind gusts nearing or perhaps exceeding 70 mph. As the storms move east of the area, winds will remain elevated through the first half of the night as we will struggle to decouple from a 50+ kt jet max. Therefore, a high wind watch will remain valid through 8Z (2 AM) Monday. With winds remaining elevated behind the front, a wind advisory may be needed after the watch (then warning) expires. The upper low mentioned in the short-term should be centered northeast of Kansas by early Monday morning, which will help to decrease the low-level jet max over our region. With the upper low well to our northeast, upper flow will become southwesterly going into Monday afternoon. This will bring breezy downslope winds to the region, helping to dry and warm the CWA, bringing elevated fire weather concerns to the area. With the pattern not changing much, warm and windy conditions will persist through Tuesday, bringing additional fire weather concerns. A shortwave trough will move to our north Wednesday, driving a weak cold front through the Southern Plains. This will bring a brief cool down for the day on Wednesday. Behind this shortwave, a larger trough / low will enter the west coast. The NBM continues to introduce POPs over the area for the day on Thursday. At this point, precipitation chances look rather low because surface winds are either light or southwesterly ahead of the trough. Therefore, not much moisture advection will occur. For now, we will allow the NBM POPs ride as they are sub-25%. GKendrick && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1004 PM CST Sat Feb 25 2023 Expect IFR to LIFR ceilings/visibility most of the overnight through mid-morning Sunday at KPVW and KLBB due to low stratus ceilings and fog. Fog is not expected to be an issue at KCDS though MVFR to IFR ceilings should be expected overnight through mid-morning Sunday as well. Strong west-southwest winds will begin to envelop our area from west to east beginning late Sunday morning and gradually increase through the afternoon and evening hours. Blowing dust will reduce visibility at times, especially at KPVW and KLBB. Guidance has backed off thunderstorm chances for KPVW and KLBB for late afternoon and evening, but fast moving strong to severe thunderstorms may be in the vicinity of those two terminals late in the day, with better chances at KCDS. && .LUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Widespread fog is expected on the Caprock overnight. Fog is expected to become dense across central and western portions of the South Plains where a Dense Fog Advisory is in effect through 9 AM. Travel could become hazardous especially in areas of dense fog where visibility will be reduced to 1/4 mile or less. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday. High winds are expected across much of the region on Sunday afternoon. A High Wind Watch remains in effect for much of the far Southern Texas Panhandle, the South Plains, and much of the Rolling Plains. This Watch will include the entire are starting Sunday evening through 2 AM Monday. High winds may result in blowing dust and near-critical fire weather conditions. Thunderstorms, some potentially severe, are possible late Sunday afternoon and evening along and east of the I-27/US-87 corridor. The main threat from these thunderstorms will be the potential for damaging wind gusts. Elevated to near critical fire weather conditions will continue Monday through Thursday due to breezy winds and low relative humidity values.
