A FEW STORMS MAY BE SEVERE. MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AFTER 25/17Z. WINDS WILL BE SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST AT AROUND 10 KNOTS. 21 PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 408 AM CDT WED MAR 25 2009/ SHORT TERM... A WARM FRONT THIS MORNING WAS LOCATED FROM CENTRAL TEXAS TO THE UPPER TEXAS COAST. TO THE SOUTH OF THE FRONT...DEWPOINTS WERE IN THE MID 60S TO LOWER 70S. TO THE NORTH OF THE FRONT...DRY AIR WAS IN PLACE ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS...WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 20S TO LOWER 30S. THE WARM FRONT WILL MOVE SLOWLY NORTH TODAY...AS AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVES ACROSS TEXAS. ALSO...THERE WILL BE A 300 MB JET COUPLET OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. THE WARM FRONT WILL BE NEAR THE NORTHWEST HILL COUNTRY BY EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THE COMBINATION OF MAINLY ELEVATED INSTABILITY AND 0-6KM SHEAR OF 60 KNOTS WILL RESULT IN A FEW SEVERE STORMS THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE NORTHWEST HILL COUNTRY...HEARTLAND...CONCHO VALLEY AND NORTHERN EDWARDS PLATEAU. THE MAIN THREATS FROM THESE STORMS WILL BE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. THE NORTHWEST HILL COUNTRY WILL HAVE THE BEST CHANCE FOR SURFACE BASED STORMS...SO ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE. TSTMS WILL END BY EARLY THIS EVENING. A QUIET FORECAST FOR TONIGHT WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER 40S TO MID 50S. 21 LONG TERM... THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERN THIS MORNING WILL BE SENSIBLE WX OVER WEST CENTRAL TX DURING THE DAY FRIDAY IN ASSOCIATION WITH A POWERFUL UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM. AN ACTIVE CYCLONIC FLOW REGIME WILL PERSIST OVER THE WESTERN 2/3RDS OF THE NATION THRU THE END OF THE WEEK. AFTER A FAST MOVING SHORTWAVE IMPULSE MOVES BY WEST CENTRAL TX TODAY...THERE WILL BE ANOTHER MORE POWERFUL SYSTEM ORGANIZING OVER THE 4 CORNERS REGION. THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE EAST ACROSS NORTHERN TX ON FRIDAY. THURSDAY...IN ADVANCE OF THIS SYSTEM...A WEAK IMPULSE EMBEDDED WITHIN THE SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT MAY ENHANCE WAA/ISENTROPIC LIFT OVER SOUTH CENTRAL TX AND PRODUCE ELEVATED SHOWERS/STORMS OVER THE NW HILL COUNTRY AND HEARTLAND THURSDAY MORNING. I HAVE THUS INSERTED SOME SLGT CHC POPS FOR SHOWERS/STORMS IN THIS AREA. AFTER THIS DEPARTS...MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND DRIER AIR WILL BE IN PLACE WHICH SHOULD ALLOW TEMPS TO REACH THE 80S. FRIDAY...A SOUTHWARD TREND IN THE FORECAST TRACK OF THE UPPER SYSTEM IS EVIDENT IN THE 00Z RUNS OF THE GFS/ECMWF. THE 00Z UKMET IS A BIT FARTHER NORTH. THE MEAN TRACK OF ALL THE GLOBAL MODELS TAKE THE SYSTEM ROUGHLY ALONG THE RED RIVER VALLEY DURING THE DAY FRIDAY. WITH THE FARTHER SOUTH TREND IN THE TRACK...SOME OF THE WRAP-AROUND PRECIP MAY AFFECT PORTIONS OF THE NORTHERN BIG COUNTRY. NEAR SURFACE TEMPERATURES COULD GET COLD ENOUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON FOR SNOW TO MIX IN BEFORE ENDING. NO ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED. SPEAKING OF TEMPERATURES...THE HIGHS WILL LIKELY BE IN THE MORNING WITH FALLING TEMPS THRU THE DAY AS THE POLAR FRONT PLOWS SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE REGION. WINDS WILL APPROACH WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA ACROSS THE BIG COUNTRY BEHIND THE FRONT. STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS COMBINED WITH FALLING TEMPS INTO THE 40S AND EVEN 30S ACROSS THE BIG COUNTRY WILL MAKE FRIDAY A CHILLY DAY INDEED. WEEKEND...WARMING TREND IS EXPECTED OVER THE WEEKEND AS DRY WEST NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT PREVAILS IN THE WAKE OF THE POWERFUL SYSTEM. INCREASING DOWNSLOPE FLOW OFF THE ROCKIES WILL BRING TEMPS BACK TO NEAR 70 ON SATURDAY AND INTO THE UPPER 70S TO NEAR 80 ON SUNDAY. EARLY NEXT WEEK...THE GFS/ECMWF ARE IN BETTER AGREEMENT THIS MODEL RUN AND FORECAST ANOTHER STRONG SYSTEM TO DIG INTO THE CENTRAL ROCKIES AND MOVE EAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS ON MONDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL TRACK MUCH FARTHER NORTH THAN THE FRIDAY SYSTEM. A DRY PACIFIC FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH WEST CENTRAL TX AND RESULT IN A SLIGHT COOL DOWN ACROSS MY NORTHERN COUNTIES. THERE IS DISAGREEMENT AMONGST THE GFS/ECMWF TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THE ECMWF SUGGESTS THAT THE BROAD WESTERN TROUGH WILL SHIFT EAST INTO THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN CONUS...WHILE THE GFS MAINTAINS THE CURRENT ACTIVE WESTERN LONGWAVE TROUGH REGIME. LACY FIRE WEATHER... ELEVATED TO NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS THURSDAY DUE TO MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITIES LESS THAN 15 PERCENT ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA AND 20 FT SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 15 TO 18 MPH. ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ON FRIDAY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF WEST CENTRAL TEXAS. ALSO...A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS FRIDAY MORNING...LOWERING THE FIRE DANGER SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. 21 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
