AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX 152 PM CDT THU JUL 15 2010 .DISCUSSION... THE APEX OF A BROAD EXPANSIVE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE STRETCHING E-W ACROSS THE SOUTHERN US STATES WILL GRADUALLY BUILD ACROSS THE FOUR CORNERS AREA TONIGHT AND FRIDAY...MAINTAINING THE EASTWARD EXTENSION OF THIS RIDGE OVER WEST TEXAS AND SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO. THE BEST CHANCES FOR ISOLATED AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AND ON FRIDAY WILL OCCUR ALONG AN INSTABILITY/MOISTURE AXIS ORIENTED ACROSS SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO AND INTO THE NORTHERN PERMIAN BASIN AS CURRENTLY DEPICTED ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY. TONIGHT/S CONVECTION WILL ALSO LIKELY BECOME ENHANCED BY LEFTOVER OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM THIS MORNING/S CONVECTIVE COMPLEX PLUS A MCV CURRENTLY LOCATED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. SOME HI-RES MODELS SUGGEST ANOTHER MCS MAY DEVELOP AFTER SUNSET AND TRACK SOUTHWARD INTO THE AREA NORTH OF I-20 PRIOR TO DISSIPATION. WEAK VERTICAL SHEAR PROFILES IN COMBINATION WITH ABUNDANT LOW/MID LEVEL MOISTURE SUGGEST THAT STORMS WILL MAINLY BE PULSE TYPE SLOW MOVERS WITH BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL...STRONG WIND GUSTS AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING STRIKES. MOVING INTO THE WEEKEND...THE STRONG UPPER RIDGE CENTERED OVER THE FOUR CORNERS AREA WILL BEGIN TO EXPAND/STRENGTHEN EASTWARD. THIS WILL RESULT IN A BIT MORE SUBSIDENT AND DRIER AIR ALOFT TO FILTER INTO WEST TEXAS AND SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO. TEMPERATURES SHOULD BECOME WARMER...MID 90S TO NEAR 100F ACROSS THE LOWER ELEVATIONS...WHILE MORE EFFECTIVELY CAPPING AND DECREASING CONVECTIVE CHANCES ACROSS OUR WESTERN COUNTIES. DURING THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK...THE MAIN PORTION OF THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO DRIFT EASTWARD INTO THE GULF STATES...PLACING WEST TEXAS ON THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THIS UPPER RIDGE. THIS SUBTLE SYNOPTIC SHIFT WILL RESULT IN A MORE TYPICAL SUMMERTIME MONSOONAL CONVECTIVE PATTERN...WITH ISOLATED AFTERNOON/ EVENING THUNDERSTORM CHANCES CONFINED ACROSS THE GUADALUPE/DAVIS MOUNTAINS AND ACROSS SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO. NEAR SEASONAL TEMPERATURES WITH AFTERNOON HIGHS MAINLY IN THE MID 90S CAN BE EXPECTED. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
