What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Midland/Odessa, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Aug 13, 2:33 PM CDT, 4 hours 55 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 13, 2:33 PM CDT, 4 hours 55 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX 233 PM CDT SUN AUG 13 2006 .SHORT TERM... EARLY AFTERNOON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A TUTT LOW SLOWLY PUSHING NORTHWESTWARD ACROSS THE RIO GRANDE BETWEEN DEL RIO AND LAREDO. OTHER SUBTLE SHORTWAVES WERE ALSO NOTED ALONG THE RED RIVER NEAR WICHITA FALLS...AND ACROSS FAR WEST TEXAS AND SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO IN THE VICINITY OF EL PASO. PLENTY OF MOISTURE REMAINS IN PLACE IN THE LOWER TO MID LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE ACROSS THE REGION. A SURFACE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE EXTENDS ACROSS MUCH OF EASTERN AND SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO...AND SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE GUADALUPE AND DAVIS MOUNTAINS...AND THE BIG BEND REGION OF WEST TEXAS. ALL OF THESE FEATURES SHOULD COMBINE WITH AFTERNOON HEATING TO AID IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS A GOOD PORTION OF THE REGION. THE BEST CHANCES FOR CONVECTION THROUGH TONIGHT SHOULD BE ALONG THE SURFACE TROUGH AND THE MID LEVEL THETA-E RIDGE AXIS...FROM SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO...SOUTHWARD INTO THE BIG BEND REGION OF WEST TEXAS. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL BE CAPABLE OF DROPPING LOCALIZED VERY HEAVY RAINFALL IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME...POSSIBLY LEADING TO LOCALIZED FLOODING. OTHERWISE...LOOK FOR SKIES TO REMAIN PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY TONIGHT WITH THE EXTENSIVE MID LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINING IN PLACE. OVERNIGHT LOWS SHOULD REMAIN WARM...WITH VERY LITTLE CHANGE EXPECTED FROM WHAT HAS BEEN SEEN THE PAST SEVERAL NIGHTS. OVERALL ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS WERE MADE TO THE GRIDDED DATABASE. .LONG TERM... LONG TERM CONCERNS ARE FOCUSED ON THE EARLY PART OF THE PACKAGE AS ABUNDANT MONSOONAL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN OVER MUCH OF THE CWFA THROUGH MIDWEEK. IN ADDITION...A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO APPROACH THE NORTHERN CWFA MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE GFS IS MOST AGGRESSIVE IN TAKING THIS BOUNDARY WELL SOUTH INTO THE PERMIAN BASIN MONDAY NIGHT...WHILE THE NAM KEEPS THIS BOUNDARY UP OVER THE SOUTH PLAINS. HAVE PRETTY MUCH SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE HERE AS UNCERTAINTY IN THE EVENTUAL FRONTAL EVOLUTION IS HIGH AS THIS EVOLUTION WILL BE HIGHLY DEPENDENT UPON CONVECTIVELY-GENERATED COLD POOLS. AS A RESULT...THE BEST CHANCES FOR RAIN WILL BE OVER NORTHWESTERN ZONES MONDAY AND TUESDAY WHERE MOISTURE...LIFT...AND FOCUSING MECHANISMS ARE GREATEST. HAVE HELD OFF ON ISSUING A FLASH FLOOD WATCH GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY INVOLVED WITH THIS FRONT...BUT SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO STANDS THE BEST CHANCES OF EXCESSIVE RAINS OVER THE NEXT 24-48H. MEANWHILE...THE TUTT LOW OVER NORTHERN COAHUILA WILL CONTINUE TO MEANDER ABOUT OVER THE NEXT THREE DAYS. THE EVENTUAL PATH OF THIS LOW WILL DEPEND ON THE DEGREE THAT THE WESTERN END OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE WEAKENS IN RESPONSE TO AN APPROACHING SHORTWAVE TROUGH LATE IN THE WEEK AND THE TRACK OF ANOTHER TUTT LOW THAT IS FORECAST TO TRANSLATE WEST OVER THE GULF THIS WEEK. FOR NOW WE EXPECT THE TUTT LOWS IMPACT TO BE MINIMAL BUT MIGHT BE ENOUGH TO KEEP DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTION OVER THE DAVIS MOUNTAINS THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. DID INCREASE POPS A BIT OVER NORTHWESTERN ZONES MONDAY AND TUESDAY... AND SLIGHTLY OVER WESTERN ZONES WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN CLOSE TO NORMAL THROUGH THE WEEK...MAYBE A LITTLE BELOW NORMAL TUESDAY...WITH MORNING LOWS A BIT ABOVE NORMAL. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
