AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
109 PM CDT SUN JUN 3 2007

.SHORT TERM...
MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW A SIMILAR UPPER LEVEL PATTERN TO THE
PREVIOUS FEW DAYS...A HIGH AMPLITUDE RIDGE LOCATED OVER THE
INTERMOUNTAIN WEST.  THIS HAS RESULTED IN NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT
ACROSS THE COUNTY WARNING AREA AND A SERIES OF UPPER SHORTWAVES
AIDING IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF EVENING AND OVERNIGHT SEVERE WEATHER.

TODAY LOOKS TO PROVIDE ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE WEATHER FOR THE CWA.
HOWEVER UNLIKE THE PAST FEW DAYS...THE CAP IS MUCH WEAKER.  THE END
RESULT OF THIS WEAKER CAP WILL LIKELY BE THE DEVELOPMENT OF STORMS
IN THE AFTERNOON HOURS AS OPPOSED TO THE EVENING.  WRF FIELDS SHOW
THE CAP ERODING BETWEEN 21Z AND 00Z ACROSS A GOOD PORTION OF THE CWA
EAST OF THE MOUNTAINS.  A SOUTHWARD MOVING OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM
OVERNIGHT CONVECTION...SEEN JUST SOUTH OF MIDLAND AROUND
SUNRISE...HAS ALLOWED FOR INCREASED LOW LEVEL MOISTURE POOLING OVER
THE PECOS RIVER VALLEY WITH DEW POINTS CURRENTLY IN THE MID 60S.
MSAS LIFTED INDICES ARE IN THE -6 TO -10 RANGE...AND THE WRF ALSO
PROGS THE HIGHEST CAPES IN THIS SAME AFTER LATER THIS AFTERNOON...IN
THE 2500-3000 J/KG RANGE.  WITH THE PRESENCE OF ADDITIONAL
BOUNDARIES AS SEEN ON VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY OVER THE CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN TEXAS PERMIAN BASIN AND THE TRANS-PECOS REGION...AND 0-6 KM
BULK SHEAR VALUES IN THE 45-50 KT RANGE...CONDITIONS WILL BE PRIMED
LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING FOR RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF
SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER. LARGE HAIL AND ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE A
DISTINCT POSSIBILITY ACROSS THE CWA...WHICH HAS PROMPTED SPC TO
ISSUE A MODERATE RISK FOR MUCH OF OUR AREA.

PRIMARY INDICATIONS ARE THAT CONVECTION WILL START OVER THE HIGHER
TERRAIN OUT WEST IN ADVANCE OF AN APPROACHING SOUTHWEST NEW MEXICO
SHORTWAVE TROUGH. WITH THE UPPER SHORTWAVE TROUGH EXPECTED TO MOVE
SOUTHEASTWARD IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW REGIME...THE WRF PROVIDES A
VERY BELIEVABLE SOLUTION IN SHIFTING THE MAIN MOISTURE CONVERGENCE
AND THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE TROUGH FARTHER SOUTHWARD AS THE EVENING
PROGRESSES. WE WOULD EXPECT THE SEVERE THREAT TO SHIFT FARTHER
SOUTH AS WELL...AS WE PROGRESS INTO THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT
HOURS.

.LONG TERM...
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE VERY ACTIVE WEATHER
ACROSS THE COUNTY WARNING AREA ON MONDAY.  LINGERING SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA MONDAY
MORNING...WITH A POTENTIAL LULL BEFORE MORE THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP
DURING THE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS.  CAPES ARE AGAIN
EXPECTED IN THE 1500-2000 J/KG RANGE...WITH CONTINUED POTENTIAL FOR
SEVERE WEATHER.  THE MAIN THREAT AREA WILL BE DEPENDANT UPON WHERE
OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM PREVIOUS CONVECTION LINGER.

THE UPPER RIDGE BEGINS TO DEAMPLIFY AND SHIFT EASTWARD ON TUESDAY.
WE WILL STILL SEE A CHANCE FOR SEVERE WEATHER OVER THE EASTERN CWA
TUESDAY AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...BY WEDNESDAY...DRIER AIR WILL FINALLY
BEGIN TO WORK ITS WAY INTO MUCH OF THE CWA...WHICH SHOULD MARK THE
BEGINNING OF A WARMING TREND AND DECREASING POPS ACROSS THE AREA
THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
