Did it verify

Area forecast discussion, May 26, 3:07 PM CDT, 3 hours 7 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
307 PM CDT SAT MAY 26 2012
.DISCUSSION...
AS AN UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM MOVES OUT OF THE WESTERN U.S. INTO
THE NORTHERN ROCKIES...SURFACE LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO
INTENSIFY LATER TODAY OVER COLORADO AND THE ADJACENT PLAINS. THIS
HAS RESULTED IN BREEZY TO WINDY SOUTHEAST TO SOUTH FLOW OVER OUR
CWA AND THIS IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INTO THIS EVENING.
SURFACE OBSERVATIONS SHOW THAT THE SURFACE TROUGH/DRYLINE HAS PUSHED
UP AGAINST THE MOUNTAINS TO THE WEST. PRIMARY INDICATIONS ARE THAT
THIS TROUGH/DRYLINE WILL SERVE AS THE FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING OVER THE WESTERN AND
NORTHERN PORTIONS OF OUR AREA. WE SEE A CU FIELD BEGINNING TO
DEVELOP BASED ON CURRENT VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY.
CONTINUED 700 MB COOLING THIS AFTERNOON WILL ALLOW FOR EROSION OF
THE CAP THAT LIMITED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT YESTERDAY ACROSS THE
AREA. WITH A VERY WELL DEFINED AXIS OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
CONVERGENCE EXPECTED ALONG THE DRYLINE...LIFTED INDICES IN THE -2 TO
-4 RANGE...AND 700-500 LAPSE RATES IN EXCESS OF 7 DEGREES OUT
WEST...STRONG TO SEVERE STORM DEVELOPMENT IS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE
LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING. FAVORED AREAS APPEAR TO BE
OVER THE DAVIS MOUNTAINS...UPPER TRANS PECOS...AND THE WESTERN AND
NORTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE PERMIAN BASIN.
WHILE INSTABILITY AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHOULD DROP OFF PRETTY
RAPIDLY THIS EVENING WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING...ANOTHER
ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS IS POSSIBLE FOR THE TRANS PECOS...
TEXAS PERMIAN BASIN AND ROLLING PLAINS SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING
WITH VERY SIMILAR SEVERE WEATHER INDICES PROGGED BY THE GFS AND NAM
AS THAT TODAY. I WOULD EXPECT TO SEE SIMILAR POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE
WEATHER. THE ONLY LIMITING FACTOR COULD BE THAT SURFACE WINDS MIGHT
BE SLIGHTLY MORE SOUTHERLY TOMORROW WITH GENERALLY PRODUCE LESS
UPSLOPE FLOW.
FINALLY...MONDAY LOOKS LIKE A DAY FOR CONCERN OVER THE CENTRAL AND
EAST PORTIONS OF THE CWA. LI'S AROUND -7...CAPE VALUES OF 2500 TO
3000 J/KG...AND A THIRD CONSECUTIVE DAY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
CONVERGENCE ALONG THE DRYLINE POINT TO POTENTIAL FOR AFTERNOON AND
EVENING SEVERE WEATHER OVER AREAS EAST OF THE PECOS RIVER.
AS UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK INTO THE AREA ON TUESDAY...
WARMER AND DRIER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED. HOWEVER A NORTHWEST UPPER
FLOW PATTERN IS INDICATED BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK WHICH
TRADITIONALLY GIVES US OPPORTUNITIES FOR RAIN IN THE FORM OF
OVERNIGHT CONVECTION. A COLD FRONT WILL ALSO MOVE INTO THE AREA ON
THURSDAY LEADING TO SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES.
.FIRE WX...
WATCHING FOR POTENTIAL OF STORMS TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE TRANS PECOS
THIS PM AND THERE COULD BE A FEW DRY STRIKES...BUT RH/S ARE AROUND
20-30 PCT IN SE NM/GDP MTNS/TRANS PECOS. STORMS COULD BE SEVERE
WITH STRONG OUTFLOW WINDS. WLY WINDS DO RETURN SUNDAY ACRS SE
NM/GDP MTNS AND SHOULD BE A SOLID 15-25 MPH IF NOT HIER IN THE
MTNS. ACRS THE PLAINS STRONGER WINDS WILL BE MOST FAVORED IN
CHAVES COUNTY. THERMAL RIDGE EXTENDS FROM W OF LBB TO SW OF CNM
AND SINGLE DIGIT RH/S ARE LIKELY. WILL CONTINUE THE FIRE WX WATCH
AS IS MAINLY DUE TO UNCERTAINTY ABOUT WINDS ACRS SE NM. STILL DRY
IN THE SAME AREAS MONDAY BUT LESS WIND.
