AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
208 PM CDT SAT JUN 23 2007

.DISCUSSION...
EARLY AFTERNOON VISIBLE SATELLITE LOOP SHOWS CU ON THE DEVELOPMENT
ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS OF SOUTHWEST TEXAS. IN ADDITION...THE LATEST
KMAF RADAR DATA ALSO SHOWS REFLECTIVITIES ON THE INCREASE. THIS
ACTIVITY IS DEVELOPING DUE TO FAVORABLE MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES
(AROUND 8C/KM)...ADEQUATE MOISTURE AND OROGRAPHIC LIFT. THIS
ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY PEAK DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING...
THEN GRADUALLY DECREASE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. CONVECTION...
POSSIBLY IN THE FORM OF AN MCS...WILL ALSO REMAIN POSSIBLE ACROSS
THE PLAINS OF WEST TEXAS AND SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO TONIGHT...
PARTICULARLY EAST OF THE PECOS RIVER. THE SHORT RANGE MODELS SUGGEST
A COUPLE OF VORT MAXIMA WILL AFFECT THE REGION TONIGHT. SAID
FEATURES CAN BE SEEN OVER SOUTHWEST KANSAS AND SOUTHERN NEBRASKA IN
THE LATEST WATER VAPOR LOOP. IN ADDITION...A 20-30KT SOUTHERLY
LOW-LEVEL JET WILL AID IN MOISTURE TRANSPORT THIS EVENING. WE HAVE
INCREASED POPS SLIGHTLY ACROSS THE BOARD...PARTICULARLY AFTER
MIDNIGHT ACROSS THE NORTHERN PERMIAN BASIN AND WESTERN LOW ROLLING
PLAINS. THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER LOOKS LOW WITH THE ACTIVITY
ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HOWEVER...A WIND
AND HAIL THREAT WILL EXIST WITH ANY ORGANIZED MCS MOVING ACROSS THE
REGION. WE WILL MENTION THE ABOVE IN THE UPCOMING HWO.

THE SHEAR AXIS HAS MOVED TO THE SOUTHEAST TO TAKE UP A POSITION
PARALLEL TO THE TEXAS GULF COAST A COUPLE HUNDRED MILES INLAND.
RIDGES REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS BOTH THE DESERT SOUTHWEST AND THE
SOUTHEASTERN CONUS.  THIS PATTERN CONTINUES THROUGH THE END OF THE
WORK WEEK WITH MULTIPLE SHORTWAVES MOVING SOUTH THROUGH THE CWA ON
THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE WEAKNESS.

WITH THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN REMAINING STEADY AND RELATIVELY LITTLE
CHANGE IN LOW AND MID LEVEL FEATURES...THE GENERAL FORECAST IS VERY
SIMILAR FROM DAY TO DAY.  SEVERAL SHORTWAVES WILL WORK THEIR WAY
SOUTH THROUGH THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW...BRINGING A POSSIBILITY OF
ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO WEST TEXAS AND SOUTHEASTERN
NEW MEXICO EACH DAY.  WITH MODERATE INSTABILITY IN PLACE AND PLENTY
OF MOISTURE FLOWING IN FROM THE SOUTHEAST...A COUPLE OF THESE STORMS
MAY REACH THE STRONG TO MARGINALLY SEVERE CATEGORY.  HIGHS WILL BE
AROUND 90 MOST DAYS WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S TO AROUND 70.  A
COUPLE OF EXCEPTIONS TO THIS GENERAL PATTERN FOLLOW.

SUNDAY...A LEE SIDE TROUGH ALONG THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS WILL PULL THE
MSLP GRADIENT TIGHTER OVER THE CWA...ALLOWING FOR A SLIGHT INCREASE
IN WIND SPEEDS SUNDAY AFTERNOON.  WITH THESE WINDS REMAINING OUT OF
THE SOUTHEAST...NO DOWNSLOPE COMPONENT EXISTS SO THE EFFECT OF THIS
WILL MERELY BE SOME STRONGER WINDS.

WEDNESDAY...AT THIS POINT THE GFS HAS THE WEAKNESS IN THE RIDGE
DEVELOPING INTO A SLIGHTLY STRONGER UPPER LEVEL LOW AND ASSOCIATED
SURFACE HIGH.  THE LOW MOVES SOUTHWESTWARD ACROSS THE LOWER TRANS
PECOS AND THE MODEL IS PUTTING OUT A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF
PRECIPITATION FOR THIS AREA AS WELL AS THE STOCKTON PLATEAU AND THE
BIG BEND REGION.  WITH MODEL GENERATED PWAT VALUES NEARING TWO
INCHES...FIND THIS A PLAUSIBLE SOLUTION.  HOWEVER...THIS IS STILL
FOUR DAYS AWAY...THUS...HAVE INCREASED POPS IN THIS AREA TO THE
SLIGHT CHANCE CATEGORY FOR THE TIME BEING.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST NEW
MEXICO...SOUTHWEST TEXAS AND WEST TEXAS.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING ACROSS WEST TEXAS AND SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO. THE
PROBABILITY OF SEVERE WEATHER IS LOW. HOWEVER...A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS COULD STRENGTHEN ENOUGH TO PRODUCE STRONG WIND GUSTS
IN EXCESS OF 50 MPH AND HAIL. THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO BE CAPABLE
OF PRODUCING HEAVY RAINFALL AND FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING
STRIKES. HEAVY RAINS MAY PRODUCE LOCALIZED FLOODING IN LOW LYING
AND FLOOD PRONE AREAS.

THERE IS ALSO A SLIGHT CHANCE THAT AN ORGANIZED COMPLEX OF
THUNDERSTORMS COULD AFFECT AREAS GENERALLY ALONG AND EAST OF A
HOBBS TO MIDLAND LINE AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. STRONG WINDS AND
HAIL...IN ADDITION TO HEAVY RAIN AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING WOULD
LIKELY ACCOMPANY THIS COMPLEX.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

THE PROBABILITY FOR WIDESPREAD HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS LOW.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME.
