$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Midland/Odessa, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Apr 9, 4:40 PM MDT, 2 hours 41 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 9, 4:40 PM MDT, 2 hours 41 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX 540 PM CDT MON APR 9 2012 .UPDATE... SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH NUMBER 153 IN EFFECT FOR MUCH OF WEST TEXAS AND SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO UNTIL 1 AM CDT /MIDNIGHT MDT/. && .EARLIER DISCUSSION... SHORT TERM FORECAST CONCERNS WILL INCLUDE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO AND WEST TEXAS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE LATEST RADAR DATA SHOWS CONVECTION ALREADY UNDERWAY ACROSS THE TRANS PECOS REGION...WITH A FEW SHOWERS EVEN MOVING INTO THE PERMIAN BASIN. THE TRANS PECOS REGION WILL REMAIN FAVORED FOR STORM DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING GIVEN STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES...DAYTIME HEATING AND WEAK UPSLOPE FLOW. THE HIGHER RESOLUTION MODELS...INCLUDING THE ARW AND NMM CONCENTRATE PRECIPITATION DEVELOPMENT OVER THE DAVIS AND GLASS MOUNTAINS...WITH ANOTHER CLUSTER OF STORMS OVER THE SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO PLAINS. GIVEN CURRENT TRENDS AND MODEL PERFORMANCE YESTERDAY... WE HAVE INCREASED RAIN CHANCES ACROSS THE ABOVE MENTIONED AREAS. A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERN. LATER THIS EVENING... AN ORGANIZED AREA OF PRECIPITATION MAY CLIP THE NORTHERN PERMIAN BASIN AND WESTERN LOW ROLLING PLAINS AS CONVECTION DEVELOPS OVER EASTERN NEW MEXICO... THEN FORMS A POSSIBLE MCS LATE THIS EVENING. THE NAM12 SUGGESTS A LOW-LEVEL JET OF 30-40KTS... WHICH WOULD SUSTAIN ANY CONVECTION AS IT MOVES ACROSS THE REGION. IF AN MCS MANAGES TO DEVELOP... DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE. GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE... LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL ALSO BE A CONCERN FOR ALL AREAS THROUGH TONIGHT. CONVECTION ALSO REMAINS POSSIBLE ON TUESDAY...AND THE TRANS PECOS MOUNTAINS APPEAR TO STAND A BETTER SHOT AT ADDITIONAL RAINFALL THAN THE SURROUNDING PLAINS. CAN/T COMPLETELY RULE OUT ADDITIONAL MCS DEVELOPMENT TO OUR NORTH DURING THE LATE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS...BUT THE SIGNAL FOR THIS IS CURRENTLY PRETTY WEAK. FOR NOW... WE WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION CHANCE POPS ACROSS NORTHERN LEA COUNTY...THE NORTHERN PERMIAN BASIN AND WESTERN LOW ROLLING PLAINS. AGAIN...STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE... WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL THE MAIN CONCERNS. THE LATEST MODEL DATA CONTINUES TO INDICATE THE FLOW ALOFT WILL BECOME SOUTHWESTERLY AND INCREASE ON WEDNESDAY. THERE IS CURRENTLY VERY GOOD AGREEMENT THAT THUNDERSTORMS WILL FIRE ALONG THE DRYLINE DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS ON WEDNESDAY. STEEP LAPSE RATES ALONG WITH WESTERLY BULK SHEAR VECTORS AVERAGING AROUND 40KTS SUGGEST SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT REMAINS POSSIBLE. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERNS WITH ANY THUNDERSTORMS. SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT REMAINS INTACT ON THURSDAY...WITH THE DRYLINE MIXING FARTHER EAST INTO THE PLAINS OF WEST TEXAS DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. WE HAVE ADDED A MENTION OF ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE ABOVE MENTIONED AREAS. THE LATEST GFS EVEN SHOWS POTENTIAL FOR STORMS DEVELOPING ON A RETREATING DRYLINE THURSDAY EVENING AND THIS BEARS WATCHING. THE FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES TO INCREASE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WORK WEEK INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND AS THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ALL SUGGEST A LARGE UPPER TROUGH WILL DEEPEN OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST AND NORTHERN MEXICO. THIS TROUGH IS CURRENTLY ADVERTISED TO TAKE ON A POSITIVE TILT... WHICH GENERALLY FAVORS LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE PUSHING EAST INTO WEST CENTRAL TEXAS. THIS TROUGH WILL BE CUT-OFF FROM THE MEAN FLOW AND THE MODELS TYPICALLY DON/T HANDLE THESE SCENARIOS VERY WELL. FOR NOW... WE/LL CONTINUE THE CURRENT DRY FORECAST AND AWAIT A LITTLE BETTER MODEL CONSISTENCY. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
