PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 317 PM CST MON JAN 26 2015/

DISCUSSION...
VERY WARM TEMPS ARE PRESENT THIS AFTERNOON UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
WESTERLY SFC FLOW AND AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE EXTENDING ALL THE WAY
INTO THE CENTRAL ROCKIES. THIS RIDGE WILL SHIFT EASTWARD TOMORROW
OVER THE PLAINS...AND THE WARM TREND WILL CONTINUE AS A RESULT.
HIGHS MAY CLIMB CLOSE TO 80 ACROSS W OK TUES AFTERNOON...AND THEN
WESTERN N TX WED AFTERNOON AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT AS
PREFRONTAL DOWNSLOPE FLOW DEVELOPS. LOW RH AND WIND SPEEDS AROUND
15 MPH WED...COMBINED WITH THE ABOVE AVG TEMPS...WILL RESULT IN AN
ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONCERN ALTHOUGH RED FLAG CONDITIONS ARE NOT
ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME THANKS TO INCREASING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE.

TEMPS WILL FINALLY COOL DOWN BEHIND THE AFOREMENTIONED FRONT BY
THURSDAY AFTERNOON TO NEAR OR A FEW DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FOR MOST
LOCATIONS. BY LATE THIS WEEK THROUGH THIS WEEKEND...MODELS REMAIN
FAIRLY CONSISTENT WITH REGARDS TO AN UPPER TROUGH TRAVERSING THE
GULF OF CALI AND SW. A COUPLE OF SHORTWAVE TROUGHS WILL LIKELY
IMPACT THE REGION FRIDAY THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY...INCREASING RAIN
AND SNOW CHANCES OVER THE REGION. FOR NOW...THE HIGHEST CHANCES
WILL BE ON SATURDAY WHEN WIDESPREAD DEEP MOISTURE AND LIFT ARE
PRESENT. POPS HAVE BEEN INCREASED AND SPREAD NORTHWARD A BIT. ITS
STILL UNCLEAR HOW MUCH SNOW WILL ACCUMULATE BASED ON SFC
TEMPS/WETBULBS THROUGH SUNDAY AM...BUT THE BEST CHANCE FOR
ACCUMULATION APPEARS TO BE ALONG AND NORTH OF I40 FOR THE MOMENT.
