.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Thursday night)
Issued at 251 PM CDT Wed Mar 12 2025
A warmup is expected for the short term as winds have shifted to
the southeast across much of the area. These winds will keep
temperatures around normal for lows as we get to sunrise this
morning. Wind directions further shift south and southwest during
the day today. These downslope winds warm the region up with mid
to upper 60s across the Permian Basin and mid 70s for areas to the
west of the Pecos River.
With southerly winds continuing tonight, lows for the morning end up
above normal in the 40s for most. However, a cold front approaches
Tuesday morning and will limit warming and make for a tricky
temperature forecast. As cold air surges in behind the front, highs
top out in the 40s and 50s across the Permian Basin with 60s and 70s
for areas that remain south of the front during the afternoon.
Temperatures quickly plunge into the end of the day on Tuesday. More
on the cold spell can be found in the long term discussion below.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday through Tuesday)
Issued at 251 PM CDT Wed Mar 12 2025
Friday continues to be the day of most concern with strong winds
expected across much of the area. Along with the strong winds we
can expect blowing dust restricting visibilities and critical fire
weather conditions. Models have been very consistent with the
storm on Friday and confidence is high with this event. These
winds are due to a potent upper level trough moving across the
Desert Southwest with an associated 300mb jet stream with winds in
excess of 150kts. The strong westerly winds will push moisture
east of the CWA preventing rain chances for most. The only
exception may be from Eddy County to Culberson County where
instability from the upper low could bring light showers/virga on
Saturday. A cold front moves through on Friday bringing in
cooler temperatures though highs will still be fairly close to
normal for this time of year.
Zonal upper flow is expected to continue over the weekend and
into early next week. This will quickly send temperatures back up
above normal with highs forecast to be in the 80s. No rainfall is
expected.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1204 AM CDT Thu Mar 13 2025
VFR conditions should prevail next 24 hours. Southwest-to-west
surface winds will increase by late morning and become gusty, but
not near as strong as yesterday. A few high clouds will be
possible. Winds will decouple after sundown for a few hours.
However, as an upper trough approaches overnight, surface winds
will begin increasing as mountain waves develop and pressure
gradients tighten. These winds look to develop at KCNM near the
end of the forecast period, and at other terminals after 06Z
Friday.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 251 PM CDT Wed Mar 12 2025
Dewpoints were lower today than forecast so minimum humidities
dropped into the lower teens to upper single digits easily
verifying the Red Flag Warning. Models are trending stronger with
the winds and tomorrow is looking to be a bigger fire weather
threat for the western third of the CWA and have issued a Fire
Weather Watch for Thursday from southeastern New Mexico to the Big
Bend.
Friday still appears to be the biggest fire weather threat day
with strong winds expected across most of the area. Cooler
temperatures could allow for humidities to hold in the lower
double digits though dewpoints near zero will still create a
critical fire weather threat, especially with ERC values well in
excess of the 90th percentile.
Winds diminish Saturday but could still be strong enough to
present a critical fire weather threat from SE NM to the Big Bend.
Sunday winds decrease further and the fire conditions should
finally no longer be a threat.
