AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX 410 PM CDT MON JUN 17 2013 .DISCUSSION... SEVERE TSTM WATCH #323 HAS BEEN ISSUED UNTIL 04Z FOR SE NM AND ALL OF THE PB NORTH OF I-20. NO CHANGE FROM DISCUSSION BELOW. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 211 PM CDT MON JUN 17 2013/ DISCUSSION... SFC BOUNDARY NW-SE ACROSS THE PB WILL BE A PRIMARY FOCUS FOR DEEP CONVECTION TO FORM ALONG/NEAR TODAY. LOW LEVEL MSTR IS RICH (DWPNTS OF M60S ACROSS PB) AND WITH STEEP MID LEVEL LR/S PER EML SB CAPES ARE ABOVE 2500 J/KG. LOW LEVEL MSTR IS CONVERGING INVOF WRN PB/SE NM AND ONCE TEMPS GET INTO THE M90S CAP IS EXPECTED BREAK ALLOWING STORMS TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE PB. ALSO A MINOR SHRTWV TROF ROUNDING NW MID LEVEL FLOW MAY SERVE TO COOL TEMPS AROUND 5H AND PROVIDE ADDITIVE LIFT. 12Z NAM12 QPF AGREES WITH AND HAS DEVELOPED PRECIP FARTHER S INTO THE PB AS EARLY AS 21Z (INDICATIVE OF WEAK TO NO CAP). SAID CAPES AND BULK SHEAR OF 25-35KTS ACROSS PB WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR SEVERE STORMS AND HAVE INCLUDE FOR PB AND TRANS PECOS. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND ARE THE MAIN CONCERN BUT AN ISOLD TORNADO CAN/T BE RULED EITHER. MEANWHILE A CONVECTIVE COMPLEX IS FAVORED TO COME OUT THE NE NM HIGHLANDS INTO WX TX PLAINS AND MAY RESULT IN SECOND ROUND OF TSTMS EARLY TUE AM ACRS THE NRN CWFA. ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS IS POSSIBLE TUE PM IN PERSISTENT NW MID LEVEL FLOW. THESE STORM WOULD BE FAVORED TO MOVE THRU THE N-NE CWFA LATE TUE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING AND AGAIN COULD BE SEVERE. HOWEVER IF THERE IS A SECOND ROUND OF STORMS EARLY TUE AM ACROSS THE N-NE IT MAY BE DIFFICULT FOR THE ATMOSPHERE TO RECOVER. SLGHT CHC TO CHC TSTMS WILL BE FAVORED IN THE DAVIS MTNS REGARDLESS TUE PM. TIMING OF CONVECTION TUE WILL MAKE TEMPS FCST DIFFICULT AND WILL TREND TEMPS DOWN JUST A DEGREE OR 2 FOR NOW. STRONGER PRESENCE OF MID LEVEL RIDGE WILL SIGNAL DOWNTURN IN POPS AND THOSE BEING CONFINED TO THE W ON WRN SIDE OF RIDGE FOR WED/THUR. PRESENCE OF MID LEVEL RIDGE WILL ALSO SIGNAL WARMER WITH HIGHS TEMPS EASILY BACK TO 95-100 ACROSS PB. SOME HINTS THAT MID LEVEL RIDGE WILL DEVELOP FAR E FRI-SUN WHICH WOULD LEAD TO A LITTLE COOLER TEMPS AND LOW PROBABILITY POPS BACK INTO THE WRN AREAS WITH ECMWF EVEN MORESO FOR MONDAY. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
