National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX
1202 PM CDT Sun Apr 2 2023

...New AVIATION...

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Monday afternoon)
Issued at 504 AM CDT Sun Apr 2 2023

A modest LLJ and southeasterly surface flow have been advecting
moisture into the eastern zones this morning, serving to sharpen
up a dryline around the TX/NM state line by daybreak. A quick-
moving shortwave trough gliding overhead late this morning into
the early afternoon helps shove the dryline towards San Angelo
with three main effects:

 1) An isolated thunderstorm or two is possible across the Western
Low Rolling Plains late this morning before the moisture is shoved
eastward. Any storms that develop stay sub-severe and quickly
move eastward out of our area.

 2) Downsloping westerly winds enhanced by the shortwave not only
bring in very dry air, but also help high temperatures this
afternoon soar well into the mid to upper 80s with 90s found along
the Rio Grande. Patchy blowing dust may result from the winds,
especially near open fields and construction sites with loose
dirt.

 3) Piggy-backing off of #2, the combination of strong winds and
very dry air behind the dryline result in widespread elevated to
near-critical fire weather today...unfortunately this afternoon is
only the tip of the iceberg, so refer to the Fire Weather
Discussion below for more details.

For tonight, drier air and mostly clear skies allow for a
slightly cooler night than this morning with lows in the upper 40s
and low 50s. Monday looks to be very similar to Sunday with the
dryline staying east of our area, maintaining exceptionally dry
conditions with breezy west winds thanks to lee troughing ahead of
Tuesday's impending upper trough. The low level thermal ridge
intensifies some, yielding highs a few degrees higher than today,
largely in the upper 80s to low 90s.

.LONG TERM...
(Monday night through Saturday)
Issued at 504 AM CDT Sun Apr 2 2023

Monday night, southwest flow aloft strengthens as a strong upper
trough digs into the central CONUS. Despite single-digit dewpoints
across most of the area, high clouds and mixing will keep
overnight lows well-above normal. A mountain wave signature begins
strengthening in the Guadalupes, and we'll continue the watch for
the Guadalupes/Delawares, with the adjacent plains in the lee
thrown in.

Tuesday, the upper trough arrives, increasing winds ridiculously
across Southeast New Mexico and West Texas. Sunny skies will
promote mixing to 750mb or better, producing high winds across
SE NM and adjacent parts of West Texas. Advisory winds are
expected elsewhere. This will result in extremely-critical fire wx
conditions across the entire area. See fire wx discussion below
for more details. A Pac front will arrive w/the trough after 18Z
or so, tempering afternoon highs from Monday, taking them below
normal over Southeast New Mexico. A cold front will drop in behind
the trough Tuesday night, taking highs below normal area-wide
Wednesday. In fact, temperatures will remain below normal into
Easter weekend as the next trough begins digging/developing down
the west coast.

Thursday, easterly upslope surface winds develop, and will persist
in some degree into the weekend. Long-range models maintain a
chance of convection beginning over the eastern zones Thursday,
and developing west into the weekend. Models are starting to line
up w/cluster prototypes this morning, including the CMC, so maybe
a shower or two will pan out. Stay tuned.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1159 AM CDT Sun Apr 2 2023

VFR conditions will prevail through the forecast period. Winds
will remain gusty out of the west/southwest, diminishing somewhat
overnight tonight, before becoming gusty once again by late Monday
morning. Patchy blowing dust may impact area terminals near or
just beyond the end of the forecast period.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 504 AM CDT Sun Apr 2 2023

WV imagery shows an upper trough approaching West Texas and
Southeast New Mexico this morning, forecast to be over the Permian
Basin by 18Z. Westerly 20ft winds/mixing will usher in drier air
to the FWA today, resulting in minimum RH in the single digits
most locations. As a result, widespread RFTI of 4 will combine
with ERC of 50th percentile or higher most locations for near-
critical fire weather conditions. We've shotgunned another RFD
across the FWA to cover this.

Recovery overnight will be abysmal, as westerly 20ft winds offer
no source of moisture replenishment. Monday, 20ft winds begin
increasing out west as the next upper trough digs south through
the western CONUS. Well-above normal highs will yield single-digit
minimum RH, which will in turn result in RFTI of 4, which will
combine with increased 20ft winds for RFTI of 8 developing into SE
NM and the higher terrain of West Texas for critical fire wx
conditions.

After poor recovery again Monday night, the upper trough arrives
Tuesday. Mostly sunny skies will allow for efficient mixing and
insolation to cure fine fuels. 20ft winds will increase
substantially, especially across SE NM and adjacent areas of W.
Texas. Widespread single-digit RH is again expected. This will
render extreme to historic RFTI of 8-9 blanketing the FWA, for a
day of very critical fire weather conditions. SGPWO CIPs guidance
pegs this event above the 90th percentile.

A Pac front will arrive during the afternoon, mitigating
temperatures somewhat, after which below-normal temperatures are
expected into Easter weekend. Lighter 20ft winds on the backside
of the trough, as well as a chance of rain, will mitigate fire
weather conditions after Tuesday.
