AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
221 PM CDT FRI SEP 7 2007

.SHORT TERM...
SURFACE-BASED INSTABILITY WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE THIS
AFTERNOON ACROSS WEST TEXAS AND SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO. 07/18Z
SURFACE OBSERVATIONS GENERALLY SHOW TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 80S TO
MID 90S F WITH DEW POINTS IN THE UPPER 50S TO UPPER 60S.
OBSERVATIONS ALSO SHOW A COLD FRONT ACROSS NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO
AND THE TX PANHANDLES FROM ROUGHLY CLOVIS TO NEAR PERRYTON.

AFTERNOON SURFACE-BASED CAPES HAVE INCREASED INTO THE 2000 TO NEAR
2500J/KG RANGE ACROSS THE PLAINS OF WEST TEXAS. CAPES WILL INCREASE
FURTHER THIS AFTERNOON AS AFTERNOON HEATING CONTINUES. MEANWHILE...
THE ABOVE MENTIONED COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY SAG SOUTHWARD WITH TIME.
INSTABILITY WILL BE GREATEST SOUTH OF THE FRONT ACROSS THE SOUTH
PLAINS...NORTHWESTERN PERMIAN BASIN AND PORTIONS OF SOUTHEASTERN NEW
MEXICO. DEEP LAYER SHEAR APPEARS MARGINALLY FAVORABLE FOR A FEW
STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR AREAS ALONG AND NORTH OF A
CAPROCK...HOBBS...ANDREWS TO COLORADO CITY LINE. LARGE HAIL AND
DAMAGING WINDS ARE THE MAIN CONCERNS AT THIS TIME. WE WILL CONTINUE
TO MENTION THE POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE WEATHER IN THE FORECAST AND
HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK. THE POTENTIAL FOR A LATE EVENING OR
OVERNIGHT MCS CONTINUES TO REMAIN UNCLEAR AS THE SHORT RANGE MODELS
ARE HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH REGARDS TO ANY MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE
TROUGHS EMBEDDED IN THE WESTERLY FLOW. BASED ON THE NAM12 HANDLING
OF THE COLD FRONT...WE HAVE OPTED TO INCREASE POPS INTO THE HIGH
CHANCE CATEGORY ACROSS NORTHERN LEA COUNTY FOR TONIGHT. THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY MAY NOT WEAKEN APPRECIABLY WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING
GIVEN WEAK MID-LEVEL SUPPORT ATOP THE SURFACE COLD FRONT.

.LONG TERM...
 MOISTURE FROM TROPICAL STORM HENRIETTE WILL CONTINUE TO STREAM
ACROSS THE CWA OVER THE WEEKEND.  AN UPPER LEVEL HIGH OVER SOUTHEAST
TEXAS IS PROGGED TO BUILD SLOWLY TO THE NORTHWEST ENCOMPASSING MOST
OF THE AREA DURING THE WEEKEND...HOWEVER WEAK UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCES WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE AROUND THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE
RIDGE. AT THE SURFACE...A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL PUSH INTO THE CWA
SATURDAY.

WITH THE MOISTURE CONTINUING TO BE IN PLACE OVER THE CWA...THE UPPER
LEVEL DISTURBANCES AND THE COLD FRONT OVER THE AREA...FEEL THAT
THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND.  THE MAIN FOCUS FOR
THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL GENERALLY BE OVER THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN
CWA AS THE UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES CROSS THAT AREA ON THE WESTERN
SIDE OF THE RIDGE.

EARLY NEXT WEEK...A STRONG UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS
THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS.  THIS SYSTEM WILL PUSH A SOMEWHAT
STRONGER COLD FRONT SOUTHWARD INTO THE CWA LATE MONDAY.  THIS FRONT
WILL BRING COOLER TEMPERATURES TO THE AREA FOR THE EARLY PART OF THE
WEEK.

WILL CARRY POPS OVER THE AREA MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH THE PASSAGE
OF THE FRONT. THE HIGHER POPS WILL BE OVER THE NORTHERN SECTIONS
MONDAY AND THEN SHIFT SOUTHWARD TUESDAY AS THE FRONT CONTINUES TO
MOVE SOUTH. DRIER AIR IS PROGGED TO MOVE INTO THE AREA BEHIND THE
FRONT WHICH WILL END THE CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION BY TUESDAY
MORNING.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE SOMEWHAT COOLER BEHIND THE COLD FRONT EARLY
NEXT WEEK.  TEMPERATURES IN THE 70S AND 80S CAN BE EXPECTED TUESDAY
AS THE SURFACE HIGH SETTLES INTO THE AREA. A WARMING TREND IS
EXPECTED TO BEGIN BY MID WEEK AS THE SURFACE HIGH MOVES EAST OF
THE CWA AND A THERMAL RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD OVER THE WESTERN PART
OF THE AREA.

BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK...A STRONG UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE IS
PROGGED BY GFS TO MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHEASTERN CWA...AS A RESULT
PRECIPITATION IS PROGGED FOR THE EASTERN PART OF THE AREA. WILL
ADD ISOLATED POPS TO THE FORECAST FOR NEXT FRIDAY OVER THE EASTERN
AREAS DUE TO THIS SYSTEM.
