AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
638 PM CDT Mon Jun 30 2014
.AVIATION...
00Z TAF issuance...
The major aviation concern for the next 24 hours will be a cold
front possibly bringing TSRA to the region Tuesday afternoon.
Currently have TSRA affecting PEQ and shortly INK. Should see
thunderstorms diminishing as sundown approaches. Strong southeast
winds will continue overnight at most locations, particularly at MAF
and HOB with 40-50kt LLJ in place. A cold front is expected to push
south through the northern portions of the region, increasing wind
speeds and shifting winds to the northeast. Wind shift looks to
mainly affect all but MAF and FST and introduced this shift in the
TAFs. Model guidance is also showing a possibility of TSRA developing
along/near this front during the afternoon hours. Will keep mention
out of the TAFs for now but chances are fairly decent so may be
adding mention in the next TAF cycle.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 219 PM CDT Mon Jun 30 2014/
DISCUSSION...
Our weather remains under the influence of a large upper ridge
centered over northern Baja. Temperatures are once again climbing
into the triple digits this afternoon across the western half of the
region. This looks to be the last day we see heat indices over 105
across the west so will let the heat advisory ride through the
morning as planned. We are also beginning to see storms pop over the
Davis Mountains where a few with strong wind gusts and small hail
are possible this afternoon.
An upper trough moving across the Great Lakes region will send a
cold front south this week. The southward advancement of the front
will be aided by deep convection along the front each night. This
will make for a difficult forecast for our area the next several
days as outflow boundaries will likely influence temps and precip.
The models are in relatively good agreement, but will side closer to
the NAM for the next few days as it usually handles frontal
convection better. The first round of storms will form later this
evening over the TX and OK Panhandles. This convection will likely
push the front/outflow boundary south into the TX South Plains by
Tuesday morning. By afternoon, storms will re-fire along the
boundary which should lie somewhere across SE NM and the Permian
Basin. Better shear will remain over NM, but strong heating and
instability could be enough for a few strong to severe storms.
Tuesday night convection will drive what happens Wednesday as more
storms will form along any outflow boundaries/cold front. The same
goes for Thursday before the upper ridge reorients itself and we dry
out late in the week.
The added clouds and potential precip Wednesday and Thursday will
cool temps well below what we have seen this past weekend. The upper
ridge builds back east by Friday and temperatures begin to warm. We
will likely keep a strong southerly flow with 850 mb temps 25C-30C.
This translates to near normal temperatures which are in the mid 90s
for most of us.
