WNDS STILL CRANKING BTWN 40-45 KTS BTWN 2-3 KFT...THUS WILL LIKELY ISSUE N TX TAF SET WITH LLWS MENTION THRU 15Z OR SO...OR UNTIL BAROCLINIC MIXING RAISES WINDS BACK UP OVER THE AIRPORTS ONCE AGAIN. SFC HI BUILDS INTO CENTRAL TX BY 00Z SAT AND WITH DECOUPLING...SHOULD SEE LGT/VRB CONDS THRU 16Z SAT. SLY SFC WNDS BTWN 7-10 KTS RETURN IN WAKE OF DEPARTING SFC HI AND IN RESPONSE TO PRESSURE FALLS OFF TO THE W BY 17Z SAT/AFTER. OTRW...XPCT VFR CONDS TO CONT AS DRY/POLAR AIR CONTS FILTERING INTO N TX. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 455 AM CST FRI JAN 13 2006/ UPDATE... A WIND ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR ALL OF NORTH TEXAS THROUGH 6 PM CST. THE NPWFWD HAS ALREADY BEEN TRANSMITTED...AND UPDATED ZFPFWD WILL BE TRANSMITTED SHORTLY. 65/DD DISCUSSION... THE COLD FRONT THAT PUSHED ACROSS THE AREA YESTERDAY EVENING CONTINUES TO MOVE EASTWARD ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THIS MORNING. STRONG LOW-LEVEL COLD ADVECTION CONTINUES IN ITS WAKE...AS 1030+ MB PACIFIC HIGH BUILDS INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL BE REALIZED ACROSS ALL OF NORTH TEXAS ONCE AGAIN FOR MUCH OF THE DAY...AS DRY ADIABATIC LAPSE RATES WITHIN THE BOUNDARY LAYER PROMOTE EFFICIENT VERTICAL TRANSPORT OF HIGH MOMENTUM AIR THROUGH THE COLUMN. A WIND ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED FOR MUCH OF THE AREA...AND ESPECIALLY FOR LOCATIONS NORTH OF THE I-20 CORRIDOR...WHERE GUSTS MAY REACH 35 MPH. AS AXIS OF SURFACE RIDGE APPROACHES THE AREA THIS EVENING...EXPECT WINDS TO DIMINISH...WITH CLEAR SKIES RESULTING IN OPTIMAL RADIATIONAL COOLING AND A COLD NIGHT FOR THE ENTIRE REGION. UPPER RIDGE AXIS WILL PUSH ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE DAY ON SATURDAY...WITH MID/UPPER FLOW BACKING THROUGH THE DAY AS A HIGHLY AMPLIFIED LONGWAVE TROUGH MOVES ONSHORE ALONG THE WEST COAST. EXPECT MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUD COVER TO INCREASE FROM THE WEST DURING THE DAY. MEANWHILE...LOW-LEVEL FLOW WILL RESPOND TO THE GRADUALLY STRENGTHENING LEE TROUGH...WITH GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS POTENTIALLY LEADING TO ANOTHER CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER DAY ACROSS THE WESTERN COUNTIES ON SATURDAY. DISCREPANCIES IN MEDIUM RANGE MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUE THIS MORNING...WITH THE GFS SOLUTION A BIT SLOWER...FURTHER NORTH WITH THE STRONGEST DYNAMICS...AND GENERALLY LESS AMPLIFIED THAN THE SOLUTIONS OFFERED BY THE NAM/UKMET/ECMWF. THIS LEADS TO LESS CONFIDENCE IN THE EXTENDED PORTION OF THE FORECAST...ESPECIALLY CONCERNING THE POTENTIAL FOR MUCH-NEEDED RAINFALL ACROSS NORTH TEXAS ON MONDAY. INCREASING ISENTROPIC LIFT DURING THE DAY ON SUNDAY WILL LIKELY RESULT IN THICKENING CLOUD COVER AND LIGHT SHOWERS/SPRINKLES ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA. HOWEVER...IF THE GFS SOLUTION WERE TO VERIFY...THEN HIGHLY VEERED LOW-LEVEL FLOW WOULD LIKELY RESULT IN A RAPID EROSION OF LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE FROM THE WEST...WITH ONLY THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA EXPERIENCING BENEFICIAL RAINFALL. A MORE DIRECT FEED OF MOISTURE FROM THE GULF WOULD LIKELY RESULT IF THE NAM/UKMET/ECMWF WERE TO VERIFY...WITH HIGHER CHANCES FOR RAINFALL ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA. GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTIES THAT STILL EXIST...WILL HOLD POPS IN THE CHANCE CATEGORY...AND CONTINUE TO PLACE HIGHER PROBABILITIES ACROSS THE EAST. AFTER THE SYSTEM MOVES EASTWARD ON TUESDAY...EXPECT AN INITIAL SHOT OF COOLER AIR FOLLOWED BY A GRADUAL WARMING TREND THROUGH THURSDAY. && .FWD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
