Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lubbock TX
701 PM CDT WED JUN 15 2016

.AVIATION...
Thunderstorms will impact KLBB and KPVW over the next couple of
hours and tempo groups have been included to capture this. It is
less clear whether convection will be able to make it into KCDS
later this evening and we have only included a VCTS for now. Any
storm will be capable of producing brief heavy rain...hail and
gusty winds in excess of 45 knots as they move through. Outside of
the storms and storm influences this evening...VFR conditions are
expected with southerly breezes. There will be another chance for
storms again late tomorrow afternoon/evening...and this will be
addressed in a future TAF issuance.

&&

.UPDATE...
We have increased PoPs significantly across much of the South
Plains as well as portions of the southeast Texas Panhandle this
evening...in line with recent radar observations and trends. The
convection will gradually decrease in coverage and intensity as
instability wanes late this evening. No other adjustments were
made to the forecast ATTM.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 336 PM CDT WED JUN 15 2016/

SHORT TERM...
Temperatures at 3 pm are quite toasty across the forecast area.
Observations from the West Texas Mesonet range from 94 degrees at
Olton to 100 degrees at Turkey and several other sites. Although
dewpoints have mixed down across the Caprock, we still have
dewpoints loitering near 70 degrees in the Rolling Plains, and
this is resulting in heat indices around 100 to 106. We do not
expect the heat indices to reach 110 degrees in the Rolling Plains
this afternoon (nor tomorrow afternoon) which would trigger a Heat
Advisory, but nonetheless the air is certainly hot and muggy
enough for us to recommend the standard heat precautions regarding
not leaving pets in vehicles, drinking plenty of water, wearing
sunscreen, etc.

Regional radar and satellite imagery shows storms developing
across the higher terrain of New Mexico and the Trans-Pecos
region, extending into southeast New Mexico. Closer to home,
high-based cumulus are forming in the deeply-mixed air mass on the
Caprock. The latest guidance is still indicating isolated to
scattered t-storm development within the next 2-3 hours across
eastern New Mexico and the western South Plains, and some of the
guidance like the TTU-WRF is now more aggressive with the
northward and eastward extent of development. The activity will
have limited CAPE to work with initially, but as it slowly
progresses eastward it may be able to tap into the higher CAPE
environment across the central and southern South Plains, leading
to stronger storms and a greater severe threat. Severe wind gusts
remain the primary concern, but there could be a window for large
hail as well. Some of the high-res guidance indicates that storms
may congeal into a small cluster this evening somewhere across the
central or southern South Plains. If this cluster develops, it
is possible it could linger a bit past 06 UTC so we have added an
isolated mention for some of the area.

For Thursday, upper ridging over the region may receive a small
dent as a weak shortwave swings across the southern Rockies. Temps
are expected to be similar to today, with highs mainly in the
upper 90s to 102 or so. Forecast soundings show that these temps
will be warm enough to erode the cap, such that convergence along
a surface trough extending from southeast New Mexico northeast
into the Texas Panhandle may be sufficient for some isolated
t-storm development - and we've added a mention to the forecast.
Coverage and overall intensity of the storms will likely be lower
than today, but instability should still be adequate for some
stronger cells.

LONG TERM...
Big story in the long-term remains the heat continuing to build a
degree or two each day through the weekend. 1000-500hPA
thicknesses will continue to build as the ridge strengthens
through Saturday. We will continue to watch how temperatures
respond/recover in the morning hours as well as heat indices in
the afternoon, especially for the Rolling Plains, to see if a heat
advisory will be needed. For now, lower dewpoints/RH values should
keep the heat indices in the Rolling Plains below 110 degrees F
but we will have to watch the West Texas Mesonet stations across
that part of the forecast area to see what happens.  Temperatures
may cool off just a tad for Sunday and Monday as the center of the
ridge shifts to the north and west of the area, lowering heights
and thickness values just a bit. Temperatures may try to warm
again by the very end of this forecast package as the ridge starts
to slide southward towards the area once again. The ECMWF
continues to try and develop afternoon/evening convection across
the area each day through the forecast but subsidence under the
ridge, lower surface dewpoints, and a lack of any boundary to help
force storms to develop mean a dry forecast will continue through
the extended.
