AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
148 PM CDT FRI JUL 8 2005

.SHORT TERM...

THE DOMINANT FEATURE CONTINUES TO BE THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE ACROSS
THE WESTERN U.S WHICH SO FAR HAS ACTED TO SUPPRESS MOST CLOUD
DEVELOPMENT.  HOWEVER... THE COMBINATION OF DAYTIME HEATING...
OROGRAPHIC LIFT... AND INSTABILITY WILL LEAD TO THE POSSIBILITY OF
AFTERNOON/EVENING THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA.  SPC HAS A
SLIGHT RISK FOR SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO PLAINS... PERMIAN BASIN...
AND TRANS PECOS REGIONS.  WILL HIGHLIGHT POSSIBILITY FOR SEVERE
WEATHER IN THE HWO.  HAVE HIGHEST POPS WEST WITH LOW POPS EAST.
TOMORROW MORNING A SOUTHEAST WIND AND INCREASING MOISTURE MAY RESULT
IN STRATUS MOVING INTO THE LOWER TRANS PECOS AND EASTERN PERMIAN
BASIN WHICH WOULD HELP KEEP OVERNIGHT LOWS HIGHER.

.LONG TERM...
BIGGEST FORECAST CHALLENGE THROUGH THE WEEKEND WILL BE NAILING
DOWN THE TIMING AND LOCATION OF BEST PRECIPITATION CHANCES.
THIS MORNING...AN UPPER LEVEL HIGH REMAINED OVER NEW MEXICO.
SEVERAL MINOR DISTURBANCES WERE EVIDENT IN WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
ROTATING AROUND THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE. THESE
DISTUBANCES ARE PROGGED TO ROTATE INTO SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
AND SOUTHWEST TEXAS THROUGH MONDAY. BASED ON GENERAL AGREEMENT
AMONG MODELS REGARDING TRACK OF THESE DISTURBANCES...WILL BE
ADJUSTING POPS UPWARD OVER EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA THROUGH
THE WEEKEND.

BY TUESDAY...UPPER RIDGE WILL MOVE NORTHWEST INTO FOUR CORNERS
AREA ALLOWING DISTURBANCES TO TRACK MORE OVER THE NORTHWESTERN
PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA. MORE TRANQUEL WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK AS UPPER FLOW BECOMES MORE
EASTERLY. SCATTERED ACTIVITY IN THE MOUNTAINS OF SOUTHWEST
TEXAS SHOULD CONTINUE EACH AFTERNOON AND EVENING UNDER
INFLUENCE OF GENERALLY EAST TO SOUTHEAST UPSLOPE LOW LEVEL
FLOW.

TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN HOT THROUGH THE WEEKEND... THOUGH
RETREAT OF UPPER HIGH AND DEVELOPMENT OF EASTERLY FLOW ALOFT
WILL FAVOR SEASONAL TEMPERATURES NEXT WEEK. HUNDREDS WILL BE
CONFINED TO MAINLY THE PECOS AND RIO GRANDE RIVER VALLEYS.
