What forecasters said that day

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 Feb 22, 5:27 PM CST, 5 hours 12 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 22, 5:27 PM CST, 5 hours 12 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX
527 PM CST MON FEB 22 2016

.DISCUSSION...

See 00Z Aviation Discussion below.

&&

.AVIATION...

Not much change to current forecast. Area radars show convection
trying to develop omtns, then moving east, and also over the upper
Colorado Rvr Valley. Latest models develop widespread convection
over the next few hours, w/buffer soundings bringing cigs to MVFR
overnight as a warm front approaches KMAF. Winds then back as a
cold front moves thru the region, w/buffer soundings bringing
fropa to KMAF around 02Z. Cigs begin improving Tuesday morning,
lifting to VFR by the end of the forecast period.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 146 PM CST MON FEB 22 2016/

DISCUSSION...
Surface cyclogenesis is underway in the general vicinity of the
Upper Presidio Valley while surface ridging noses in from the n
into the PB. A warm front slowly lifting n and helping maintaining
an e-se low level component across the Trans Pecos yielding upslope
flow and slowly increasing dewpoints. Meanwhile steep LR's
(7.5-8.5 C/KM in the 7h-5h layer) are present. Lift is increasing
on the nose of a strong mid level jet moving into the Trans Pecos
and as a result tstms are expected to develop. CAPES may near 700
J/KG and with more than sufficient shear there is support for
strong-severe storms this PM, especially from Davis Mtns into the
Lower Trans Pecos. Large hail is the primary concern as storms
may ride along/near the frontal boundary. Also. there is a non-
zero tornadic threat early this evening when the low level jet
increases along with the presence of said warm front.

The jet max has shifted farther s than thought yesterday. Still,
there is expected to be another area of precip that forms from SE
NM into the PB overnight and into Tue PM. This is assocd with the
frontal surge and this area will still be within a steep lapse
rate environment, not to mention in the LFQ of strong jet
(115-120kt 3h), and wrap around moisture. As noted the jet is
farther s and this has lessened the potential for high winds in
the mtns and we have opted to cancell the watch,replacing it with
a wind advisory for Davis-Glass-Chisos Mtns. An advisory may
eventually be needed for Pecos/Terrell Co.. Tue will definitely
have a much colder blustery feel and temps will probably peak as
early as noon and then hold steady/slowly fall in the afternoon.
Daytime temps will mostly be in the 40s/50...60s/70s in the far
s/sw. This will all set up cold mornings Wed/Thur with lows
falling to/below freezing. Thereafter temps will slowly moderate
into the 60s and 70s into the weekend and early next week.

FIRE WEATHER...
Windy conditions will raise fire wx concerns across the Big Bend
and Presidio Valley Tue where the least chances of rain are. The
cooler temps will keep RHs above critical levels.
