Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX
157 PM CDT THU OCT 6 2016

.DISCUSSION...
Significant changes to the weather including much cooler
temperatures and increasing chances of precipitation are
in the offing across west Texas and southeast New Mexico
beginning tonight and continuing through the weekend.

An upper level trough across the Rockies and Plains will move
northeast into the northern Plains Friday. This will allow a
strong cold front to plunge south through the forecast area
late tonight and Friday morning. Scattered to numerous showers
and thunderstorms are expected to develop along and behind the
front later tonight across mainly the northern and central Permian
Basin of west Texas as upper level forcing for ascent increases
in the right rear quadrant of the upper level jet. The better
precipitation chances will continue to sink south with the front
during the day Friday. The best chance will be across the eastern
and southern Permian Basin and lower Trans Pecos region of west
texas where moisture and low level convergence will be maximized
above the upper jet. Much cooler temperatures and breezy to windy
conditions are expected Friday with very windy conditions expected
through the Guadalupe Pass of west Texas.

For Friday night through Sunday below normal temperatures are
expected to continue behind the front as a large surface high
pressure system builds south into the region from Canada. In the
meantime, a weakening southern stream upper low is expected to
take shape, eject and weaken as it moves across the southwest
United States. There will be a chance of showers and isolated
thunderstorms in this pattern this weekend with the best chance
across southeast New Mexico and western portions of west Texas
closest to the weakening system.

Dry with above normal temperatures are expected to return by
next Monday through Thursday under dry west to northwest flow
aloft.
