AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
638 PM CDT Sat Jun 14 2014

.AVIATION...
00Z TAF issuance...
The main aviation concern for this TAF cycle will be possible TSRA
at MAF and FST through this evening. Otherwise, VFR conditions will
prevail at all terminals. Currently have thunderstorms across the
northern Permian Basin and the lower Trans Pecos. For now, don't
think MAF will be affected so left mention out of current TAF. There
are still a few weak radar echoes near FST but the main threat seems
to be to the south of the terminal. Will carry -TSRA for another
hour just to be sure and amend when needed. 40-50kt LLJ will develop
overnight across eastern portions of the region, keeping MAF and FST
wind speeds elevated (15-20kt sustained with gusts around 25kt)
through the early morning hours Sunday. Lighter winds then
expected through the end of this TAF cycle.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 233 PM CDT Sat Jun 14 2014/

DISCUSSION...
Dryline is trying to tighten up this PM with CNM setting at 100/42
and MAF 92/63. A few storms have initiated in the lee of Davis
Mtns near Balmorhea and based on T/Td spreads the bases are high
and there strong gusty winds are possible. TTU WRF did a very good
job with this initial convection placement/timing. WRF tracks these
storms east across the Pecos Co thru the afternoon while developing
a few discrete cells near MAF (along the dryline) just before 00Z
and a few small cells in the nrn CWFA. Severe threat will be brief
with high based multi-cell storms.

Sun/Mon a dryline will be present with a stronger ewd push Sun into
the PB, but holding up in SE NM on Mon. Pattern will be such that
the mid level ridge is well to the s-se allowing for a w-sw mid
level flow. This implies that track for shrtwv trof/s will be favored
farther n in the stronger wsw mid level flow. Thus the storm potential
will primarily be dictated by the diurnal heating cycle/dryline
circulation and orographics (mostly Davis Mtns being the genesis
source). 0-6km bulk shear is not very strong and weakest across
the Trans Pecos. CAPES in proximity to dryline and weakest CINH
are progged by NAM12 to around 500-2000 J/KG. Thus, isolated
severe threat at best. Along and w of the dryline 85h temps will
be 30-32C Sun and 28-30C Mon. MOS confirms this with Sun looking
to be the hottest day. Isold to slight chance PoPs are already in
the forecast Sun-Mon, but Mon is the more favored day with better
low level mstr and potential for minor shrtwv trof in the n and
possibly one to the s. A key feature going forward will be the mid
level theta-e ridge and this will be another reason for convection
to initiate in the Davis Mtns/Big Bend regions. Convection
possibilities will be renewed Tue when mid level mstr/theta-e
ridge and an assocd shrtwv trof is spun off of Cristine (possibly
Mon). This will favor PoPs across the Trans Pecos, but especially
the Big Bend and Lower Trans Pecos, and possibly farther w and n
depending on track of shrtwv trof. Looking at climo of precipitable
water according to NAEFS/GEFS the PWs will be in the 75th percentile.
We will ramp up PoPs into the scattered/chance range across the
Big Bend and Lower Trans Pecos on Tue for now. There is less confidence
in precip potential Wed with GFS keeping mid level flow backed and
ECMWF veering to w and pushing moist axis e. Pattern returns to
better agreement by Fri with mid level ridging and weak n-nw flow
aloft, which could yield some precip across the n and in the mtns.
Taking a quick look at the ECMWF extended forecast the subtropical
ridge will fully develop by next weekend and hold.
