AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
208 PM CDT Sun Jun 8 2014

.DISCUSSION...

Severe thunderstorms will be possible over much of the area this
afternoon and evening, then again late tonight over the northern
County Warning Area.  A few tornadoes will be possible, in addition
to large hail, damaging winds and heavy rainfall.  A Flash Flood
Watch will also be in effect for portions of the forecast area.

Convection continues to develop over the Permian Basin and western
Low Rolling Plains this afternoon behind an outflow/frontal boundary
stretching north/south through central New Mexico to south of the
Guadalupe Mountains, then south of Pecos, to near Coyanosa and
St. Lawrence.  Despite a modified airmass and healthy cloud cover
behind the boundary, modest heating is aiding convective development
on several linear boundaries which are apparent on visible
satellite imagery.  Some breaks in cloud cover through late
afternoon will provide enough heating/destabilization of the
airmass for severe storm development which could result in large
hail, damaging winds and heavy rainfall.  Low level SRH will be
enhanced along and behind the boundary also, as high as 200 to 300
m2/s2, so a few tornadoes cannot be ruled out over the Permian
Basin.  Also, the additional convection is reinforcing the
boundary, which will likely serve as a focus through late tonight.
Expect more widely scattered thunderstorms to develop through the
afternoon over the high terrain within easterly upslope regime
where better heating is occurring and eroding the cap.  In
addition, these areas may receive mid level support from a
shortwave trough translating eastward across New Mexico, if not
some upper level support on the nose of a 90kt h25 jet. Since 0
to 6 km bulk shear is progged to be 40 to 50kt and lapse rates 8
to 9 C/Km, think we could see severe storms develop with a few
tornadoes possible, along with very large hail, damaging winds and
locally heavy rainfall.

Meanwhile, another stronger shortwave trough moving into western
Colorado this afternoon is expected to aid thunderstorm development
over southeastern Colorado and northeastern New Mexico.  The storms
will then conglomerate into a Mesoscale Convective System, and drop
southeastward through eastern New Mexico and the Texas Panhandle
overnight.  Think the MCS will travel along/behind the mentioned
boundary with the western Low Rolling Plains having the best chance
of rain overnight.  Not only will damaging winds be possible with
the MCS, but heavy rainfall/flash flooding and to a slightly lesser
extent, hail.  Since locations from Lea County New Mexico, eastward
across the northern Permian Basin have already had at least 1 to 2
inches of rainfall in the last 24 hours, more rain is falling in
some of these areas this afternoon, and more heavy rainfall will be
possible with the MCS tonight, will issue a Flash Flood Watch for
northern and central Lea county, eastward across Gaines, Dawson,
Borden, Scurry, Howard and Mitchell counties from issuance this
afternoon until 09/15Z.

Think the MCS will pass east/southeast of the region shortly after
09/12Z, but will carry low end PoPs over the east and southeastern
zones at least through Monday morning.  A cold front will move south
through the area on Monday with temperatures staying slightly below
normal through Tuesday afternoon.  By Wednesday afternoon however,
the upper ridge will remain southwest of the region, but westerly
flow aloft to the north of it will push a low level thermal ridge
eastward over the region.  Therefore, expect hot temperatures to
return, which will likely last into next weekend.  There are some
indications of a few thunderstorms developing along a dryline which
will form over the region, and some hints a frontal boundary will
move into the area Thursday or Friday.  For now, will keep PoPs low
and temperatures high.
