The radar

The Midland/Odessa radar (KMAF), 142 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 07:58 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The nearest sounding before it

Midland Regional, TX (KMAF), launched 00:00Z, 8.0 hours before the alert went out and 141 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 31, 12:38 AM CDT, 2 hours 19 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
1238 AM CDT FRI JUL 31 2009

.DISCUSSION...
SEE AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW.

&&

.AVIATION...
A LARGE THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX WILL IMPACT THE TERMINALS THROUGH
MUCH OF THE NIGHT WITH MVFR CONDITIONS. BY 13Z VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD
RETURN TO ALL THE TERMINALS. WENT WITH A PROB30 GROUP FOR THUNDERSTORMS
AT THE TERMINALS FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING FROM 20Z-02Z
AS RENEWED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT POSSIBLE.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 650 PM CDT THU JUL 30 2009/

DISCUSSION...
SEE AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW.

AVIATION...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING WILL REMAIN WELL SOUTH OF
THE TAF SITES ACROSS THE BIG BEND AND DAVIS MOUNTAINS. A COMPLEX
OF THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY ACROSS EASTERN NEW MEXICO IS EXPECTED
TO TRACK SOUTHEAST AND IMPACT KCNM BY 05Z AND KINK-KMAF BETWEEN
08Z AND 10Z FOR TEMPO MVFR CONDITIONS. AFTER THIS COMPLEX DISSIPATES
IN THE PERMIAN BASIN IN THE MORNING EXPECT CEILINGS OF 4 TO 5 K
THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY.

12

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 336 PM CDT THU JUL 30 2009/

DISCUSSION...
IN THE NEAR TERM...CONCERNS WILL REMAIN CENTERED ON THE
POSSIBILITY OF SOME SEVERE WEATHER ALONG WITH POSSIBLE FLASH
FLOODING. EARLY AFTERNOON SURFACE OBSERVATIONS ALONG WITH VISIBLE
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOW A COLD FRONT LOCATED ALONG THE PECOS RIVER.
TEMPERATURES BEHIND THIS BOUNDARY WERE MAINLY IN THE 80S...WITH
MID 80S TO LOWER 90S AHEAD OF THE FRONT AS OF 19Z. TAKING A LOOK
AT THE LATEST KMAF SOUNDING ALONG WITH FORECAST SOUNDINGS REVEAL
DECENT FLOW ALOFT FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. WNW 0-6KM BULK SHEAR
VECTORS AROUND 35-40KTS WILL BE PRESENT ACROSS A GOOD PORTION OF
THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. THIS COUPLED WITH IMPRESSIVE SBCAPES AND
CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT WILL ALLOW THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING FOR MOST AREAS WEST OF THE PECOS RIVER.
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED GIVEN WE SHOULD SEE A FEW
SUPERCELLS THROUGH THIS EVENING. THE MAIN CONCERN WILL BE DAMAGING
WINDS...WITH LOW END SEVERE HAIL ALSO POSSIBLE. WE WILL CONTINUE
TO MENTION SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE LATEST FORECAST. LATE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING RAIN CHANCES WERE ALSO INCREASED...
ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE DAVIS MOUNTAINS AND BIG BEND REGION. SOME
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS ALSO POSSIBLE THIS...SO WE WILL KEEP THE
FLASH FLOOD WATCH GOING FOR MOST OF THE MOUNTAINS AND TRANS PECOS.
WE DID OPT TO REMOVE THE VAN HORN AND HIGHWAY 54 CORRIDOR AS
COVERAGE OF PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE A LITTLE LESS THAT FAR WEST.

LATER THIS EVENING AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...CONCERNS WILL
SHIFT NORTH INTO THE PLAINS OF SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO AND PERMIAN
BASIN REGION. WE EXPECT GOOD POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER MCS TO AFFECT
THE AREA...THUS WE HAVE INCREASED RAIN CHANCES FOR THE MENTIONED
REGIONS. HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERN...ALTHOUGH A
SEVERE WIND GUST IS POSSIBLE ON THE LEADING EDGE OF ANY ORGANIZED
CONVECTION. WE WILL CONTINUE THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR FOR ALL
AREAS EAST OF THE PECOS RIVER. THE LATEST 4KM WRF-NMM ALONG WITH
SUPPORT FROM THE NAM12 AND GFS SUGGEST THE PLAINS OF SOUTHEASTERN
NEW MEXICO AND THE FAR WESTERN PERMIAN BASIN STAND THE BEST CHANCE
FOR HEAVY RAINFALL OVERNIGHT. WE HAVE INCREASED POPS ACROSS THE
MENTIONED AREAS. WE HAVE ALSO INCREASED POPS FOR THE PERMIAN BASIN
AND WESTERN LOW ROLLING PLAINS FRIDAY MORNING TO ACCOUNT FOR
REMNANT MCS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. ADDITIONAL CONVECTION WILL
REMAIN POSSIBLE DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS ON FRIDAY
AND AGAIN SATURDAY...ESPECIALLY WEST OF THE PECOS RIVER WHERE THE
GFS AND ECMWF DEPICT THE PRESENCE OF SOME MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVES.
LATE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING...THE GFS AND NAM SUGGEST
A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE NORTHER PERMIAN BASIN AND WESTERN
LOW ROLLING PLAINS. WE HAVE INCREASED RAIN CHANCES SLIGHTLY TO
ACCOUNT FOR THIS POSSIBILITY. THE FORECAST WILL TREND DRIER AND
WARMER FOR SUNDAY INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK AS THE MEDIUM RANGE
MODELS SUGGEST MID AND UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL BE ON THE INCREASE
ACROSS OUR AREA.
