AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
1251 PM CDT SUN JUL 10 2005

.SHORT TERM...
UPPER RIDGE OVER SOUTHWEST U.S. REMAINS CENTERED OVER MEXICO KEEPING
THE REGION IN NORTHERLY FLOW ALOFT.  THIS WILL ALLOW A SHORTWAVE TO
ROTATE DOWN ACROSS THE WESTERN CWA DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON INTO
THE EVENING.  MODELS DEVELOP PRECIP ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS AND EXPAND
IT ACROSS THE TRANS PECOS INTO THE WESTERN PERMIAN BASIN.  WILL GO
WITH CHANCE POPS WEST AND ISOLATED EAST... WITH MOST PRECIP ENDING
BY MIDNIGHT.  AS OF NOON ALREADY GETTING CU DEVELOPING OVER THE
DAVIS MOUNTAINS.  WHILE SURFACE DEWPOINTS ONLY AROUND 60... 12Z MAF
SOUNDING HAD PW OF NEARLY 1.4 INCHES... SO SHOULD BE MORE THAN
ENOUGH MOISTURE TO WORK WITH.

.LONG TERM...
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL CONTINUE OVER THE SOUTHWEST UNITED STATES
THROUGH THE LONG TERM.  THE POSITION OF THE RIDGE AS WELL AS DENNIS
OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN US WILL BRING NORTHEASTERLY FLOW ALOFT TO THE
CWA.  THIS FLOW WILL TEND TO RESULT IN DRY CONDITIONS OVER MOST OF
THE AREA.

WILL CONTINUE TO RESTRICT ISOLATED POPS TO THE MOUNTAINOUS AREAS AND
THE WESTERN CWA WHERE OROGRAPHICAL LIFTING WILL AID IN THE
DEVELOPMENT OF AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS.  ELSEWHERE...WITH LITTLE OR
NO FOCUS TO INITIATE THUNDERSTORMS...WILL KEEP THE POPS BELOW 10
PERCENT.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE HOT THROUGH MID WEEK AS THE RIDGE CONTINUE TO
EXERT ITS INFLUENCE.  BY THURSDAY...A TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN US
WILL EXTEND WESTWARD INTO WEST CENTRAL TEXAS.  THIS TROUGH WILL
RESULT IN LOWER HEIGHTS AND TEMPERATURES CLOSER TO SEASONAL NORMALS
THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK.
