AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
248 PM CDT FRI JUN 8 2007

.DISCUSSION...
AS OF 18Z...A COLD FRONT WAS LOCATED ALONG A PRESIDIO TO SANDERSON
LINE ACROSS SOUTHWEST TEXAS. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BRING AN
INCREASE IN RAIN CHANCES TO PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST TEXAS AND
SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO TONIGHT. THE BEST CHANCE FOR RAINFALL THIS
AFTERNOON AND INTO TONIGHT APPEARS TO RESIDE ACROSS THE BIG BEND
REGION INTO THE DAVIS MOUNTAINS...WHERE A SERIES OF MID-LEVEL
SHORTWAVE TROUGHS IN THE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL INTERACT
WITH THE ABOVE MENTIONED FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND MORE THAN ADEQUATE
BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE. POPS HAVE BEEN RAISED INTO THE 40-70%
RANGE ACROSS THIS AREA. QPF HAS ALSO BEEN GIVEN A SIGNIFICANT
NUDGE UPWARD ACROSS THE BIG BEND REGION. SURFACE-BASED
INSTABILITY WILL BE QUITE STRONG SOUTH OF THE FRONT...ALTHOUGH
0-6KM SHEAR REMAINS POOR. AN ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WILL
REMAIN POSSIBLE AND WE HAVE MADE MENTION OF THIS IN THE HAZARDOUS
WEATHER OUTLOOK. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS ALSO POSSIBLE GIVEN
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ABOVE 1 INCH AND EXPECTED RELATIVELY
SLOW STORM MOVEMENT.

RAIN CHANCES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS MOISTURE
CONTINUES TO INCREASE AND SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT REMAINS INTACT.
THE BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN THROUGH THE WEEKEND IS LIKELY TO REMAIN
WEST OF THE PECOS RIVER ON SATURDAY GIVEN EAST TO SOUTHEASTERLY
UPSLOPE FLOW IN THE LOW LEVELS AND CONTINUED ACTIVE SOUTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT. CONVECTION CHANCES WILL DECREASE AREAWIDE SUNDAY...BUT
CONDITIONS SHOULD STILL REMAIN FAVORABLE FOR AT LEAST LOW CHANCE
POPS ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS OF WEST TEXAS AND SOUTHEASTERN NEW
MEXICO. TEMPERATURES THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK ARE EXPECTED TO
REMAIN AT OR BELOW NORMAL GIVEN EXPECTED PRECIPITATION AND CLOUD
COVER.

THE MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE SUGGESTS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST EARLY NEXT WEEK...AND WITH PLENTY OF
MOISTURE IN THE AREA...WE WILL ADD LOW POPS INTO THE FORECAST FOR
THE MOUNTAINS AND ADJACENT PLAINS FOR MONDAY. WE WILL CONTINUE THE
CURRENT DRY FORECAST BEYOND MONDAY...BUT WATCH UPCOMING MODELS
CAREFULLY AS LOW POPS MAY BE NEEDED ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS EARLY
NEXT WEEK. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO RETURN CLOSER TO NORMAL BY
THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
