The local office's own words before this special weather statement 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 special weather statement went out at Jun 25, 2:45 PM CDT, 26 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 25, 2:45 PM CDT, 26 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX 245 PM CDT Wed Jun 25 2014 .DISCUSSION... Convection continues to develop over the southeast New Mexico Plains, upper Trans Pecos and Permian Basin early this afternoon. Cloud cover from this activity is keeping temperatures down, so have tweaked a few high temperatures down for the remainder of this afternoon. A couple of shortwaves in the northwesterly flow aloft is sparking isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms across a decent chunk of the forecast area. In the near term expecting the activity over the Permian Basin to remain weak but stronger storms across southeast New Mexico to the Trans Pecos and Davis Mountains will move east-southeast in the northwest flow and may impact the Permian Basin later this evening. Shear is only forecast to be from 20 to 25 knots but capes in excess of 2000 j/kg will probably yield several severe storms with localized flooding. The Convection should diminish overnight with loss of heating and the disturbances moving east of the region. West to northwesterly aloft will continue through the weekend. Very intense daytime heating along a dryline should allow isolated to scattered thunderstorms to form each afternoon and evening Thursday through Sunday from eastern Lea county New Mexico south and east to include much of west Texas. By next Monday through Wednesday an upper level ridge is forecast to strengthen from the southern Rockies to the Gulf Coast. This will turn the mid level flow to the northeast and increase subsidence across the forecast area, diminishing significantly the threat of thunderstorms. && .CLIMATE...For some locations in West Texas and Southeast New Mexico we are approaching...or are at the hottest climatological normals for the year.
