AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
249 PM CDT SUN JUN 24 2007

.DISCUSSION...
A RATHER BENIGN LOOKING UPPER LEVEL PATTERN MAY AGAIN YIELD ANOTHER
ROUND OF INTERESTING WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. MORNING
UPPER AIR MAPS SHOW A MID-LEVEL RIDGE AXIS ACROSS THE DESERT
SOUTHWEST INTO THE CENTRAL ROCKIES...WITH A MID-LEVEL LOW OVER
NORTHWEST TX WITH ATTENDANT TROUGH AXIS ACROSS WEST TEXAS. SURFACE
FEATURES INCLUDE A WEAK LOW OVER THE LOWER TRANS PECOS REGION WITH A
TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN LOW ROLLING PLAINS AND SOUTH PLAINS.

CONCERNS TONIGHT WILL INCLUDE THE POSSIBILITY OF ANOTHER ORGANIZED
ROUND OF CONVECTION AFFECTING WEST TEXAS AND SOUTHEASTERN NEW
MEXICO. MODELS SUGGEST ANOTHER SERIES OF VORTICITY MAXIMA WILL MOVE
ACROSS THE REGION. MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES REMAIN FAVORABLE ACROSS THE
HIGHER TERRAIN AND ADJACENT PLAINS WITH VALUES NEAR 8C/KM. 0-6KM
SHEAR WILL REMAIN RATHER WEAK...SO DISCRETE SUPERCELL STORMS ARE NOT
FAVORED. INSTEAD...ANOTHER MCS IS POSSIBLE TONIGHT AS STORMS
CONTINUE TO DEVELOP OVER THE MOUNTAINS OF NEW MEXICO...THEN MOVE
SOUTHWARD INTO WEST TEXAS AND SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO. ANOTHER
LOW-LEVEL JET IS ADVERTISED AND THIS WILL HELP SUSTAIN ANY MCS THAT
DEVELOPS. THE PRIMARY CONCERN WITH AN ORGANIZED MCS WILL BE DAMAGING
WINDS...ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE DRY SLOT NOTED ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
THAT IS IN PLACE ACROSS THE PLAINS OF EASTERN NEW MEXICO. MARGINALLY
SEVERE HAIL IS ALSO POSSIBLE...BUT GIVEN MORNING FREEZING LEVEL AND
WET BULB LEVELS NEAR 14K MSL...LARGE HAIL REPORTS ARE NOT EXPECTED.
WE HAVE MENTIONED THE POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE WEATHER IN THE LATEST
HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK.

WEAKNESS IN RIDGE EXTENDS FROM INDIANA SOUTHEASTWARD TO THE
MIDLAND CWA AND REMAINS ACROSS THIS AREA THROUGH THE END OF THE
WEEK. A PLETHORA OF SHORTWAVES WILL MOVE SOUTH AROUND THIS
WEAKNESS THROUGHOUT THE WEEK BRINGING A CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION IN
SOME PORTION OF THE CWA MOST DAYS. BY THE END OF THE WEEK THE
RIDGE BUILDS BACK IN OVER THE AREA.

ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE MOUNTAINS OF WEST
TEXAS AND SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO AND THE ADJACENT PLAINS WILL BE
POSSIBLE MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.  A 20-30KT LLJ...SBCAPES
BETWEEN 1000-1500J/KG...AND MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AROUND 8 DEG/KM...
MAY ALLOW ONE OR TWO OF THESE STORMS TO STRENGTHEN TO NEAR SEVERE
CRITERIA.

ATTP...IT LOOKS LIKE THE BEST DAYS FOR PRECIPITATION FOR MOST OF THE
AREA WILL BE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.  A SURFACE TROUGH DEVELOPS
ACROSS WEST TEXAS AND SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO WEDNESDAY AS SEVERAL
STRONG SHORTWAVES MOVE ACROSS THE REGION.  BECAUSE ONLY MODERATE
INSTABILITY IS PROGGED FOR WEDNESDAY AND PROGGED PWAT VALUES 150
PERCENT OF NORMAL ARE IN PLACE...BELIEVE THE THREAT WITH THESE
STORMS TO BE MORE ALONG THE LINES OF HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING.
BY THURSDAY...PWAT VALUES INCREASE TO 150 TO 200 PERCENT OF NORMAL
INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN AND THUS...FLASH FLOODING.
RAIN AND CLOUD COVER WILL LIMIT TEMPERATURES SOMEWHAT THESE DAYS AS
WELL.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...JUST A FEW VERY WEAK SHORTWAVES GO THROUGH THE
AREA...WITH NO ASSOCIATED MID AND UPPER LEVEL LIFT TO SPEAK OF.
THINK THAT DESPITE THE ABUNDANCE OF MOISTURE STILL IN PLACE...THESE
WILL BE OUR DRIEST DAYS.
