AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
223 PM CDT SUN JUN 19 2005

.SHORT TERM...
WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE DAVIS MOUNTAINS AND MARFA
PLATEAU ARE ONGOING AS OF 19/19Z. THIS ACTIVITY IS DEVELOPING WEST
OF THE DRYLINE WITH DEW POINTS ACROSS THE MENTIONED REGION IN THE
LOWER 40S F. MODEL FORECAST SOUNDINGS DEPICT ADEQUATE MOISTURE FOR
CONTINUED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT AT OR ABOVE 600MB WITH A DRY
SUB-CLOUD LAYER. CAPES WILL REMAIN LOW AND WE EXPECT RELATIVELY
SHALLOW CONVECTION IN THIS ENVIRONMENT. THIS ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE AND GRADUALLY EXPAND IN COVERAGE THROUGH THE EVENING AS
SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS BRING AN INCREASE IN LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE. 0-6KM
SHEAR WILL BE POOR ACROSS THE REGION...BUT MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES
WILL BE STEEP (8-9C/KM). GIVEN THE HIGH-BASED NATURE OF THESE
STORMS...A FEW WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING SEVERE WIND GUSTS AND
POSSIBLY SEVERE HAIL. WE WILL MENTION THIS IN THE UPCOMING HWO.

SOME MINOR CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE WINDS AND DEW POINT GRIDS...WITH
THE REMAINDER OF THE GRIDS IN GOOD SHAPE.

.LONG TERM...
SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND ISOLATED CONVECTION /MAINLY
OVER THE MOUNTAINS/ WILL REMAIN THE PRIMARY WEATHER CONCERNS THROUGH
THE LONG TERM PORTION OF TODAY/S FORECAST. ONLY MINOR CHANGES WERE
MADE TO THE GRIDS/FORECAST INCLUDING ADJUSTMENTS TO ORIENTATION/
TIMING OF POPS/CLOUDS AND TWEAKS TO DEWPOINT FORECASTS.

THE STRONG MID/UPPER LEVEL RIDGE CURRENTLY OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. WITH THE AREA BENEATH
NORTHEASTERLY/EASTERLY MID LEVEL FLOW...OCCASIONAL MINOR SHORTWAVE
TROUGHS WILL PROPAGATE OVER THE AREA. THESE WAVES WILL COMBINE WITH
LIFT GENERATED BY HEATING OF THE ELEVATED/MOUNTAIN SURFACES TO
RESULT IN PERIODS OF AFTERNOON/EVENING STORMS. WILL ADDITIONALLY
MAINTAIN THE CURRENT MENTION OF ISOLATED SHOWERS/STORMS OVER THE
NORTHEAST BASIN EARLY MONDAY ALTHOUGH CONFIDENCE IN THIS SOLUTION IS
LOW. THIS GIVEN MODEL PROGS THAT DEPICT ONE SUCH WAVE PROPAGATING
SOUTHWEST ABOVE AMPLE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND GIVEN THE PRESENCE OF
WEAK LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE NOTED IN 850MB WIND FIELDS.

AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL GENERALLY DECREASE BY A DEGREE OR
TWO EACH DAY THROUGH THE PERIOD AS THE EFFECTS OF PERSISTENT
NORTHEASTERLY/EASTERLY FLOW INCREASE AND UPSLOPE/MOISTURE INCREASES.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN SOME 5 DEGREES ABOVE SEASONAL NORMS.

MEDIUM RANGE SOLUTIONS CONTINUE TO DIFFER REGARDING THE EVOLUTION OF
A WEAK MID LEVEL LOW OVER SOUTHERN TEXAS BY THE END OF THE EXTENDED.
CURRENT PROGS SHOW THIS FEATURE REMAINING WELL SOUTHEAST OF THE FA
AND CONFIDENCE WITH REGARDS TO ITS IMPACT ON WEST TEXAS IS LOW.
