AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LUBBOCK TX 409 AM CDT TUE APR 11 2006 .SHORT TERM... UPPER SHORT WAVE TROUGH CROSSING THE 4-CORNERS AREA THIS MORNING WITH MID LEVEL JET LIFTING NEWD ACROSS ERN NEW MEXICO. LIFT GENERATED BY THIS SYSTEM IS ENOUGH TO PRODUCE A FAIRLY BROAD STRIP OF ELEVATED REFLECTIVITY PER KLBB 88-D. A LITTLE PRECIP IS REACHING THE GROUND PER THE ROSWELL OBSERVATION...BUT SOME DECENT WIND GUSTS ARE ALSO BEING GENERATED VIA SUB-CLOUD EVAPORATION PER THE OBS AT ARTESIA AND CARLSBAD. THINK THAT RAINFALL WILL BE SPOTTY AT BEST AND WILL RUN WITH 10 PCT IN THE GRIDS AND THUS NO MENTION IN THE ZFP. PLAN ON HANDLING SPRINKLES AND ISOLATED INCREASED WIND POTENTIAL VIA SHORT TERM FORECASTS. OTHERWISE THE KEY TO THE FCST WILL BE TIMING THE CLEARING LINE AND THE EGRESS OF THE MID LEVEL JET STREAK. IT APPEARS THE TIMING OF THESE TWO WILL NOT MESH WELL FOR OTHER THAN A BRIEF TIME OF WINDS PUSHING MUCH ABOVE 25 MPH. THUS WILL RUN WITH 15 TO 25 MPH IN THE ZONES AND MARGINAL POTENTIAL FOR RED FLAG CONDITIONS. .LONG TERM... ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS MADE TO THE EXTENDED FCST. AFTER THE AFOREMENTIONED SHTWV TROUGH PASSES...UPR RIDGE DEVELOPS ACROSS SRN PLAINS WITH WTX VERY NEAR THE RIDGE AXIS. THIS WILL NIX PRECIP CHCS AND BRING VERY WARM TEMPS WED-FRI. HIGH TEMPS SHOULD GENERALLY BE IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S FOR THESE DAYS. A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA WED MORN BUT THE WINDS SHOULD TURN TO THE SOUTH BY AFTN /FRONT MAY NOT ACTUALLY CLEAR THE ENTIRE CWA/. DEVELOPING SRLY LLJ WILL KEEP MODEST AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE ACROSS THE AREA AND COMBINED WITH RELATIVELY WEAK UPR-LVL WINDS ALOFT SHOULD KEEP RED FLAG CONDITIONS AT BAY THROUGH FRI. LATE FRI INTO SAT...APPROACH OF WEAKENING SOUTHWEST U.S. UPR LOW WILL PUSH THE RIDGE AXIS EAST AND BRING AN INCREASING WESTERLY COMPONENT TO WIND. TIMING OF TROUGH AXIS IS STILL UNCERTAIN...BUT DECENT POSSIBILITY THAT WE MAY SEE STRONG WINDS AND FIRE WX CONCERNS ON SAT AS THE UPR-LVL JET PASSES. ANOTHER WEAK FROPA MAY BE POSSIBLE ON SUNDAY BEHIND THIS SYSTEM. OTHERWISE...EARLY NEXT WEEK APPEARS TO BE CONTINUED DRY AND WARM UNDER ZONAL FLOW ALOFT. && .FIRE WEATHER... CONDITIONS LOOK MARGINAL ATTM CONCERNING RED FLAG CRITERIA. AS MENTIONED ABOVE HAVE SOME REAL CONCERNS WITH TIMING OF THE CLEARING OF THE CLOUDS AND THE POSITION OF THE MID LEVEL JET STREAK FOR MOST EFFICIENT MIXING. ALSO SFC ANALYSIS REVEALS RELATIVELY HIGH DEW POINTS ACROSS CENTRAL AND ERN NEW MEXICO. WILL THUS TEMPER THE DROP IN DEW POINTS IN THE FCST FOR THIS AFTERNOON. THIS MAKES THE RH CRITERIA QUESTIONABLE. FINALLY...EVEN IF THE TWO CRITERIA DO MESH...THINK IT UNLIKELY IT WILL BE FOR A LONG ENOUGH PERIOD TO WARRANT A WARNING. FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE ON SATURDAY AS A STORM SYSTEM CROSSES THE ROCKIES INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS...BRINGING STRONG WESTERLY WINDS TO THE PANHANDLES AND SOUTH PLAINS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
