AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
138 PM CDT FRI JUN 21 2013

.DISCUSSION...

AN UPPER RIDGE REMAINS OVER THE REGION TODAY, BUT IT IS NOT QUITE
AS STRONG DUE TO A SHORTWAVE TROUGH TRANSLATING NORTHEASTWARD
THROUGH THE TEXAS PANHANDLE THIS AFTERNOON WHICH HAS FLATTENED IT
SOMEWHAT.  WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATES DRIER MID LEVEL AIR MOVING
EASTWARD INTO THE REGION BEHIND THE EXITING SHORTWAVE TROUGH, WHICH
IS AIDING THE STEEPENING OF MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AREAWIDE.  AT THE
SURFACE, A SURFACE LOW PERSISTS OVER EASTERN COLORADO WITH A SURFACE
TROUGH EXTENDING SOUTHWARD TO THE EAST OF THE HIGHER TERRAIN.  LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINS PLENTIFUL OVER THE REGION ON PERSISTENT
GUSTY, SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS.  EXPECT SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TO
DEVELOP THROUGH LATE THIS AFTERNOON, THEN PROPAGATE EASTWARD THIS
EVENING.  SINCE INSTABILITY OVER WESTERN REACHES OF THE CWA WILL BE
1500 TO 2000 J/KG THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING, 0 TO 6 KM BULK SHEAR
30 TO 40 KT, AND MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES 8 TO 9 C/KM, SOME OF THE
STORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL BE SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WINDS POSSIBLE.  WILL MENTION THE POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE STORMS IN
THE HWO AND ZONE FORECAST.  SOME OF THE STORMS COULD ALSO PRODUCE
HEAVY RAINFALL, BUT CONSIDERING THE STORMS WILL BE MOVING AT A MORE
RAPID CLIP AND PWATS ARE DOWN A LITTLE, WILL JUST MENTION BRIEF
HEAVY RAINFALL IN THE HWO.  HOW FAR EAST THE STORMS PROPAGATE
TONIGHT IS A BIT OF A QUANDARY SINCE A PRETTY STOUT CAP IS NOTED ON
FORECAST SOUNDINGS OVER THE PERMIAN BASIN, JUST LIKE YESTERDAY. BUT
THE FLOW ALOFT IS A LITTLE STRONGER TODAY AND SINCE SOME STORMS, OR
A CLUSTER OF STORMS, SENDS AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY EASTWARD, THINK
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MORE APT TO DEVELOP IN THE AWAITING UNSTABLE
AIRMASS OVER THE TRANS PECOS AND AT LEAST THE NORTHERN PERMIAN
BASIN.  HAVE INCLUDED A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS FURTHER
EASTWARD TONIGHT FOR SUCH A POSSIBILITY.

THE UPPER RIDGE WILL REMAIN IN A FLATTENED STATE SATURDAY THROUGH
MONDAY SO HAVE CONTINUED TO INCLUDE THUNDERSTORMS EACH OF THOSE
DAYS, WHICH WILL PROPAGATE EASTWARD IN THE EVENING.  HOW FAR EAST
THEY MOVE EACH EVENING CONTINUES TO BE A DILEMMA, BUT WILL BE BETTER
RESOLVED ON LATER SHIFTS.  THAT IS, HAVE BROUGHT CONVECTION TO THE
TEXAS/NEW MEXICO STATELINE FOR NOW.  ON TUESDAY THROUGH MID NEXT
WEEK, THE UPPER RIDGE WILL RETROGRADE WESTWARD AND SET UP SHOP OVER
THE FOUR CORNERS REGION INTO NEXT WEEKEND.  THIS WILL PUT THE AREA
UNDER NORTHEASTERLY FLOW ALOFT, A STIFLING CAP AND STIFLING HEAT.
THERE IS VERY LITTLE CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION BEYOND TUESDAY, AND
TEMPERATURES WILL BE 5 TO 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL.  IT DOES NOT
APPEAR TEMPERATURES WILL WARM TO RECORD LEVELS, BUT IT WILL STILL BE
PLENTY HOT.
