Area forecast discussion, Apr 1, 7:46 PM CST, 1 hour before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN ANGELO TX 746 PM CST SAT APR 1 2006 .UPDATE... SENDING QUICK UPDATE TO THE FORECAST AS DEVELOPING SQUALL LINE IN EDWARDS PLATEAU. EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS WITH STRONG FORCING FROM UPPER LEVEL TROUGH EJECTING INTO THE REGION. ACTIVITY IS ALSO BEGINNING TO EXTEND SOUTH FROM RED RIVER ACTIVITY. ACTIVITY COULD EVOLVE INTO A LARGER SQUALL LINE BUT ANY CAPPING COULD LIMIT ACTIVITY. MAY NEED TO INCREASE POPS LATER IF THE LINE OF STORMS MATURES INTO A LONG LASTING SQUALL LINE. 10 && .PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 508 PM CST SAT APR 1 2006) AVIATION...WILL MAKE THE TAFS FAIRLY EASY THIS SET. WILL HOLD OFF THE MENTION OF THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE DRY LINE ACTIVITY...BUT WILL CONTINUE TO SHOW THAT STORMS IN THE AREA BY THE USE OF THE CB MENTION IN THE CLOUD GROUPS. NEXT THING WILL BE SWITCH THE WINDS TO THE WEST WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE DRYLINE LATE TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. BRAZZELL PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 314 PM CST SAT APR 1 2006) SHORT TERM... CURRENTLY...LOW CLOUDS CONTINUE TO MIX TO THE EAST ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS. THE DRYLINE CONTINUES TO SHARPEN THIS AFTERNOON TO THE WEST OF OUR CWA. POSITION OF THE DRYLINE AT 20Z WAS ROUGHLY FROM JUST WEST OF KGUY...EXTENDING SOUTH/SOUTHWEST THROUGH THE TX PANHANDLE AND TX SOUTH PLAINS...THEN SLIGHTLY BACK TO THE SOUTHEAST TO EAST OF KMAF. THE DRYLINE WILL CONTINUE TO SURGE EASTWARD...AND RESULT IN THUNDERSTORM INITIATION ACROSS THE TX PANHANDLE/SOUTH PLAINS AREAS. FOR OUR AREA...THERE IS A CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ALONG THIS BOUNDARY THIS AFTERNOON. ALOFT...A SHORTWAVE CAN BE SEEN MOVING ACROSS NORTHERN AZ/NM THIS AFTERNOON. THIS WILL BRING LIFT INTO THE REGION AND AID IN INITIATION OF THUNDERSTORMS. THE BEST LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS WAVE WILL BE NORTH OF OUR AREA...BUT THERE MAY BE ENOUGH CONVERGENCE ALONG THE DRYLINE...COMBINED WITH COOLING TEMPERATURES ALOFT TO ALLOW FOR THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP...MAINLY NORTH OF A LINE FROM BROWNWOOD TO STERLING CITY. IF THUNDERSTORMS DO DEVELOP...LARGE INSTABILITY VALUES OF OVER 2000 J/KG OF SURFACE BASED CAPE...COMBINED WITH STRONG 0-6KM BULK SHEAR VALUES OF GREATER THAN 40 KTS WILL RESULT IN THUNDERSTORMS QUICKLY STRENGTHENING TO SEVERE LEVELS. OVERNIGHT...IF STORMS DO DEVELOP...THEY WILL LIKELY EVOLVE INTO A LINE/MCS AND MOVE OFF TO THE E/NE AWAY FROM THE AREA. WESTERLY WIND WILL CONTINUE TO FILTER INTO THE AREA BEHIND THE DRYLINE OVERNIGHT...BRINGING IN DRIER AIR AT THE SURFACE. LONG TERM... FOR SUNDAY...NORTHWEST FLOW IN THE LOW LEVELS WITH NEARLY ZONAL FLOW ALOFT WILL RESULT IN MUCH DRIER AIR MOVING INTO THE AREA AND RAIN CHANCES MOVING OUT OF THE AREA. WITH DRIER AIR AND MORE SUNSHINE ACROSS THE AREA ON SUNDAY...EXPECT ANOTHER WARM DAY WITH TEMPERATURE RISING INTO THE 80S. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL ENTER THE REGION ON MONDAY...COOLING TEMPERATURE 5 TO 10 DEGREES ACROSS THE AREA... BRINGING TEMPERATURES CLOSER TO NORMAL VALUES. BY TUESDAY... SOUTHEAST LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL START BRINGING MOISTURE BACK INTO THE AREA. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN WARM AS A RIDGE BUILDS ALOFT. RAIN CHANCE WILL REMAIN OUT OF THE FORECAST UNTIL WEDNESDAY WHEN ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVES ACROSS THE AZ/NM/TX REGION. WILL LEAVE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN THE FORECAST FOR THE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT TIMEFRAME. ON THURSDAY...DRY AIR WILL AGAIN MOVE INTO THE REGION ON GUSTY WESTERLY SURFACE WINDS. ANOTHER WEAK COLD FRONT WILL FOLLOW THE TROUGH FROM WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AGAIN KNOCKING TEMPERATURES BACK DOWN CLOSER TO NORMAL VALUES FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. PRECIPITATION IS NOT EXPECTED WITH THE COLD FRONT. FIRE WEATHER... DRIER AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA ON SUNDAY. MINIMUM HUMIDITY VALUES WILL BE MUCH LOWER THAN TODAY WITH VALUES DOWN TO NEAR OR BELOW 20 PERCENT FOR MUCH OF THE WESTERN 1/2 OF THE CWA. HOWEVER...20 FOOT WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW 20 MPH THROUGHOUT THE DAY...SO NO FIRE WEATHER RELATED WATCHES OR WARNINGS ARE ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME. ON THURSDAY...DRY AIR WILL AGAIN MOVE INTO THE REGION ALONG WITH INCREASING WESTERLY WINDS AT THE SURFACE. THIS WILL RESULT IN ELEVATED FIRE DANGERS FOR THURSDAY AFTERNOON AS HUMIDITY VALUES WILL FALL TO NEAR 20 PERCENT OR LOWER WHILE 20 FOOT WINDS WILL BE IN THE 15 TO 20 MPH RANGE. THIS SITUATION WILL BE MONITORED IN UPCOMING FORECASTS. SJT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && .SJT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && 10
