...New KEY MESSAGES, SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, FIRE WEATHER...

.KEY MESSAGES...
Issued at 357 AM CST Mon Mar 3 2025

- Dense fog across the combined Panhandles will last until the
  morning hours today.

- Dry and windy conditions will create widespread critical fire
  weather conditions, with extreme Fire Weather conditions
  possible in the southwest Panhandle.

- Widespread strong, damaging winds are expected Tomorrow behind a
  cold front, with low potential for wind gusts to exceed 70 mph.

&&

.SHORT TERM ...
(Today through Tuesday night)
Issued at 357 AM CST Mon Mar 3 2025

It's going to be flat out windy today and especially tomorrow,
even for Panhandle standards. The upper level low responsible for
the blustery conditions to come is currently approaching the
Colorado Plateau, sending ~100kt 500mb flow over the western High
Plains today. While the tightening sfc pressure gradient supports
25-35 mph southwest sustained winds, placement under the right-
exit region of the upper to mid-level jet streak should provide
the downward momentum necessary to mix down 50-60 mph gusts across
the western Panhandles later this afternoon. However, if cloud
cover lingers longer than anticipated and mixing isn't quite as
deep, wind gusts may only top out in the 40-50 mph range. After
fog dissipates later this morning, these arid winds will usher in
single digit to near zero dew pts, allowing relative humidity
values to plummet below 10% for most areas on the Caprock. This
combination of dry and windy conditions will unfortunately lead to
high-end critical fire weather danger today.

Winds stay breezy at 15-25 mph overnight thanks to the persistent
low-level jet, but higher gusts should temporarily subside. A far
stronger surge of winds arrives Tuesday morning with a cold
frontal passage. Rapid pressure rises behind the front will
produce 35-45 mph sustained northwest winds, while a sting jet off
the lee of the Rockies will further enhance damaging wind gust
potential. Latest runs of the HRRR paint a concerning picture of
the high-end potential tomorrow, suggesting gusts up to 75-80 mph
can't be ruled out. Even with cooler temperatures and cloud cover
expected, forecast soundings depict steep enough lapse rates to
transport at least 60 mph wind gusts to the sfc throughout much of
the day (50-90% probabilities for 60 mph gusts across the northern
Panhandles).

In conjunction with the winds, a plume of mid-level moisture with
the front may produce spotty areas of light precipitation.
Marginal temperature profiles favor mostly rain, although stronger
CAA would pose the potential for some light snow to mix in at
times. Any accumulations of rain or even snow will be of little to
no consequence in terms of meaningful moisture. However, this
light precip is what lends confidence in high wind gusts despite
the cooler temperatures, as it will help mix stronger winds when
it falls through drier air near the sfc. Whether the precip
develops or not, there will still be a low chance (10-20%) for
gusts to exceed 70 mph.

Winds finally relent overnight as the upper level low exits to the
northeast, allowing the pressure gradient to loosen and mixing of
higher gusts to gradually end. Moisture will vacate the region as
well, and overnight lows will cool into the 20s by Wednesday
morning.

.LONG TERM ...
(Wednesday through Sunday)
Issued at 357 AM CST Mon Mar 3 2025

Ridging aloft takes over the synoptic pattern Wed-Thu in the wake
of Tuesday's prolific wind producer, leading to a brief warming
trend with highs in the 60s. Upper level southwest flow will
increase through Friday as we sit south of a passing trough,
aiding lee cyclogenesis and enhancing the sfc pressure gradient
atop the Panhandles. Breezy days will continue, especially
Thursday when there is medium confidence (40-70%) for gusts >40mph
to materialize. Long range guidance depict another trough
approaching from the Pacific Northwest this weekend, pulling a
cold front and marginally improved moisture to the region.
Ensembles have come into better agreement on the track of this
disturbance, but vary drastically on moisture content. If
precipitation is able to develop, the cooling airmass could
support a rain-snow mix on Saturday morning, but confidence
remains quite low at this time (~20% chance for measurable
precip).

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1029 PM CST Sun Mar 2 2025

Dense fog has developed at DHT and GUY this evening and should
quickly spread to AMA for the start of the 06Z TAF period. LIFR
conditions should continue at all sites through most of the early
morning until sunrise. Fog will then dissipate as wind speeds
increase tomorrow afternoon. Very strong westerly winds will
overtake the TAF sites, where wind gust will easily exceed 40 kts
at all sites. This will last through the day time hours, and only
decrease slightly overnight. Towards the end of the period,
sustained wind speeds should still be between 20-25 kts.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 357 AM CST Mon Mar 3 2025

Widespread critical fire weather conditions are likely this
afternoon into the evening hours, with the potential for extreme
fire weather across the southwest TX Panhandle. 25-35 mph southwest
winds are forecast, gusting up to 60 mph across the western
Panhandles. This will help pull in very dry air from NM, dropping
relative humidity values as low as 5-10% this afternoon. RFTIs of
6-8 are looking to be more common as a result across the west,
with 3-5s further east. Fuels should have no problem being
receptive to fire starts and spread, so a Red Flag Warning has
been issued for the entire Panhandles.

Very strong winds and marginally dry conditions will provide
another opportunity for elevated to critical fire weather Tuesday,
hinging on moisture content. Minimum relative humidity values
don't look to drop much lower than 30%, making fire starts less
likely outside of the far southern Texas Panhandle. If a fire can
start though, or is already ongoing from Today, northwest winds
of 35-45 mph, gusting 60-70 mph for a large portion of the
Panhandles would aid fire growth potential.
