756 FXUS64 KLUB 300708 AFDLUB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lubbock TX 208 AM CDT Mon Sep 30 2024 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 206 AM CDT Mon Sep 30 2024 There is still little to write home about in regards to the local weather. A deep trough moving across southern Canada and the northern US will result in surface cyclogenesis and pressure troughing in lee of the Rockies. This will bring winds around to the south-southwest this afternoon but remaining light. Upper ridging will build over the western US bringing rising heights today allowing temperatures to be a few degrees warmer. Mid-level moisture rotating around the ridge along with low level upslope flow will likely allow isolated to scattered convection in the higher terrain of eastern New Mexico but is unlikely to reach the region. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday through Sunday) Issued at 206 AM CDT Mon Sep 30 2024 A cold front will pass southward through the region on Tuesday morning bringing a short period of breezier and slightly cooler conditions, but this frontal passage will be dry and temperatures Tuesday will still be near or slightly above average with highs in the upper 70s to middle 80s. Temperatures warm back up on Wednesday and will remain well above average through the rest of the extended forecast as low amplitude upper ridging continues to persist over the southern half of the CONUS. Highs each day will peak in the upper 80s to mid 90s with no precipitation chances in sight through at least the next seven days. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1210 AM CDT Mon Sep 30 2024 VFR will continue through the TAF period. && .LUB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && $$ SHORT TERM...01 LONG TERM....30 AVIATION...01
