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 15, 1:15 PM MDT, 2 hours 37 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 15, 1:15 PM MDT, 2 hours 37 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 215 PM CDT WED JUN 15 2016 .DISCUSSION... An upper level trough is approaching the Pacific Northwest, and the southcentral and southeast conus is under somewhat weak ridging aloft with an upper low/shortwave moving over the Upper Midwest. Thunderstorms are possible today across much of the area since low level moisture has moved westward toward southeast New Mexico and the higher terrain. Surface CAPE values are expected to be around 2,000 J/kg and mid-level lapse rates will be around 8 to 9 degrees C/km according to the NAM12. The NAM80 also indicates a minor shortwave moving over the area this afternoon as shown on the 500 mb omega values. Due to these conditions, severe thunderstorms will be possible across the area this afternoon and evening. SPC has much of the CWA in a marginal outlook for today. Zero to six km bulk shear may only get up to 30 kts so this will limit severe thunderstorm potential. Temperatures this afternoon are again expected to be hot but may be a degree or two cooler than yesterday due to an increase in moisture. The upper ridge will continue to build over the central conus on Thursday as the shortwave previously over the Upper Midwest moves southeastward. This strengthening of the ridge will limit thunderstorm development to the Davis Mountains and higher terrain for Thursday afternoon. The ridge will be slightly stronger over the area on Friday allowing for temperatures to warm up even more and further decrease precipitation chances. Conditions on Saturday will be very similar to those on Friday with temperatures in the triple digits most places and no rain expected. The upper ridge will begin to get somewhat flattened on Sunday resulting in slightly cooler temperatures. Temperatures are expected to cool into the mid 90s across the Permian Basin Monday through Wednesday of next week with no precipitation expected. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
