Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Lubbock TX
631 PM CDT Thu Oct 17 2019 .AVIATION... VFR conditions will continue through the next 24 hours. Strong low-level jet is expected to develop above the surface which will result in LLWS for aircraft departing/arriving all three terminals. Jet will dissipate around 12 UTC with surface wind gradually veering to the west through the morning. Jordan && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 250 PM CDT Thu Oct 17 2019/ DISCUSSION... Mild and breezy conditions prevail for the rest of the day as return flow increases over the Caprock region. Winds remain out of the south overnight at around 10-15mph, which will moderate the low temperatures compared to the past few nights. Overnight lows in the lower 50s are expected across most of the county warning area (CWA). Daytime temperatures on Friday increase into the middle and upper 80s, as a nose of warm air advection (WAA) intensifies ahead of a developing lee surface cyclone across the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandle region. Tomorrow will be blustery due to a well-mixed boundary layer and stronger low-level WAA, with gusts up to 30mph possible across West Texas. As the lee surface low progresses to the southeast, a cool front will pass through area. Chances for precipitation along this front remain low, as dew point depressions in the low-levels will be fairly large. Some vertical cloud development could be possible in the northeastern portions of the CWA, but the chances for precipitation are greater in areas east of the CWA. Temperatures behind the front will fall back into the lower 50s, as the source region for air in the post-frontal environment is essentially modified continental dry air that has been in the region the last few days. Temperatures Saturday will be in the middle 70s with lows in the 50s once again. Turning attention to the next cold front: WAA strengthens on Sunday in response to a rapidly deepening cyclone in the northern Great Plains. Temperatures will build into the middle 80s across the South Plains and upper 80s in the Rolling Plains. Windy conditions are expected, with gusts up to 30mph possible. As the front passes through the area late Sunday, it is expected to be mainly dry due to the scant availability of moisture over the Caprock. Low chances for an isolated shower or thunderstorm exist in the southeastern areas of the CWA; however, the best chances will be east of our forecast area where deeper moisture convergence is maximized. Temperatures will fall into the middle 40s overnight Sunday. The dry weather pattern continues into next week, with mild temperatures and low chances for precipitation.
