.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Friday afternoon)
Issued at 228 AM CST Thu Nov 10 2022
The westerly wind shift, demarking the Pacific cold and mstr
gradient, extends s from SE NM into the Trans Pecos INVOF Davis
Mtns. Meanwhile, the mid-level speed max s of the parent mid-
level low has moved in ern CO. Said front will make its way ewd
across CWFA today and by 18Z it will be located in the far ern
CWFA. Post- frontal downslope winds will offset CAA some, most
noticeable cooling will be across the w with highs from M60s-L70
in SE NM. A much colder secondary surge will occur Fri AM with
increasing surface pressure and CAA thru the day. With the arrival
of the front in the Lower Trans Pecos there will a brief window
for SHRA/TSRA Fri AM as the main mid-level trof axis swings thru.
Mid clouds will decrease into Fri PM, but with the surface high
nosing into the PB and 85h temps of 3C across wrn PB to near 0C in
the far ne CWFA it will turn much colder, especially with
expected breezy conditions mid Fri AM thru early afternoon. Highs
on Fri will range from the 50s across PB to L50s-M60s Trans Pecos,
70s Rio Grande.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 228 AM CST Thu Nov 10 2022
The coldest morning so far this season arrives Saturday morning. As
the trough that brought us our cold front Friday continues to eject
into the Ohio Valley, surface high pressure slides south into the
Southern Plains. Part of this surface high pressure is forecast to
be centered over Lubbock's forecast area by sunrise Saturday. With
light winds and mostly clear skies, thanks to the influence of
surface high, excellent radiational cooling will take place.
Locations along and north of Highway 90 can expect a light freeze
while portions of the higher terrain, northern Permian Basin, and
southeastern New Mexico can expect a hard freeze. A Freeze Watch for
these areas has been issued accordingly. Temperatures during
Saturday afternoon struggle to reach much higher than the mid 50s
for most locations. Temperatures rebound somewhat heading into
Sunday as weak mid-level ridging temporarily returns. Morning
temperatures remain above freezing for all but some of the higher
terrain and northern portions of the area. Afternoon temperatures
reach back into the 60s for most, but this is still several
degrees below normal.
Heading into next week, more reinforcing shots of cold air are
expected. The overall weather pattern remains progressive with
persistent troughing across much of the CONUS. The first of these
troughs arrives Monday morning. A cold front accompanying this
trough begins to push through the region Monday, keeping the
northern half of the area cooler than Sunday, while areas further
south see temperatures similar to Sunday. At this time, this system
appears to remain mostly dry, with perhaps only light precipitation
across northern portions of the area. Overnight temperatures are
likely to fall back below freezing for a large portion of the area
behind this system and daytime highs struggle to get out of the
upper 40s and low 50s. A jacket or sweater will be needed for the
foreseeable future.
