New AVIATION
SHORT TERM
(This afternoon through Thursday night)
Issued at 336 PM CDT Wed Apr 24 2024
There is a risk for severe weather the next several days that we are keeping an eye on. First is this afternoon in the northern Permian Basin where a great deal of instability and shear are located, however an upper ridge will act to keep a lid on most convection. A weak front moved into the area this morning and may act as a surface focus though recent observations show it has mostly dissipated. This is a conditional severe weather day where any storms that form have a chance to become severe with those chances being somewhat low.
Things change tomorrow as the upper ridge shifts off to the east and an upper trough moves into New Mexico. Increasing lift moving over an established dryline in the eastern Permian Basin will cause a line of severe thunderstorms to form. The timing of the system is later than usual with the upper lift overcoming the loss of daytime heating for storms to form in the early evening and continue overnight before moving east just after midnight.
Lows tonight will again be in the 60s with tomorrow reaching the 80s and 90s. Drier air moving in tomorrow night behind the dryline allows lows to drop down into the 50s and give some relief to our recent muggy mornings.

LONG TERM
(Friday through Tuesday)
Issued at 336 PM CDT Wed Apr 24 2024
We'll catch a break Friday with temperatures running around normal before we see the next potent short wave troughs Saturday. Cluster analyses indicate that this system is coming in a bit slower and lower in latitude than in previous runs, which means the position of the dryline will be crucial in convective development along and east of the dryline and in fire weather concerns west of the dryline. There's a fair amount of uncertainty on the eventual position of the dryline Saturday, with the mean NBM position extending roughly along a Gail to Big Lake line at the time of max heating. It should also be noted that models sometimes don't handle PBL mixing well in dynamic situations and that, should model trends keep slowing the trough, then pressure falls and backed winds back in the dry air will inhibit eastward translation of the dryline to maybe a Lamesa to Midland to Fort Stockton to Boquillas line. In any event, there does appear to be a fair amount of capping as evident in the strength of the EML, so convection will struggle to initiate, even over the elevated heat sources of the Glass and Davis mountains. It may be that convection won't initiate until after dark Saturday night when the Pacific front shoves everything east of the Permian Basin. PoP forecasts reflect the most likely scenario, with isolated to scattered thunderstorms across the far eastern Basin and the western Low Rolling Plains Saturday evening.
Short wave ridging will then take hold for Sunday through Tuesday, with temperatures somewhere around normal Sunday and warming a few degrees each day. An active pattern regime does appear Tuesday and beyond, with perhaps a decent chance of precipitation across much of west Texas and southeastern New Mexico as the dryline becomes active again. Stay tuned. -bc
AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 619 PM CDT Wed Apr 24 2024
Winds become southerly to southeasterly at all terminals this evening, with gusts to 20-30kt expected at West Texas terminals as the nocturnal low-level jet develops. Low ceilings will develop into MAF by around 09Z and persist until mid-morning, with rapid improvement thereafter. These ceilings should remain to the east of FST, with VFR conditions otherwise prevailing. Winds will shift to the southwest between 15-18Z Thursday, becoming gusty with gusts to 35-45kt expected at CNM/HOB, and around 20-30kt elsewhere. Localized blowing dust is possible during the afternoon, with storm development not anticipated until near/just beyond the end of the forecast period.
FIRE WEATHER
Issued at 336 PM CDT Wed Apr 24 2024
An upper level trough is going to bring increasing westerly winds and drier air from southeastern New Mexico and the western Permian Basin, south to the Big Bend tomorrow. The most critical conditions will be in the upper Trans Pecos from Roswell to Pecos where winds will be strongest and RFTI values reach 6-7 with a few isolated 8. Winds ease slightly Friday but will still likely be strong enough to create critical fire weather conditions. Winds strengthen again Saturday continuing the critical fire threat before easing up on Sunday finally relieving fire weather conditions. The wind direction is expected to maintain a mostly westerly direction.
An RFW will likely be needed for much of the same area as Thursday, for both Friday and Saturday though have held off at this time due to uncertainty that far out. Overnight recoveries through Sunday night will be poor for most locations. Better recoveries are not expected until Monday and Tuesday when increasing moisture moves in from off the Gulf of Mexico.
