Area forecast discussion, Jul 8, 5:06 PM CDT, 4 hours 31 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 506 PM CDT FRI JUL 8 2016 .DISCUSSION... See 00z aviation discussion below. && .AVIATION... Storms are expected across the area during the evening hours and perhaps into the overnight hours. Variable and gusty winds as well as low visibilities are possible with these storms; otherwise, VFR conditions are expected. Winds will be southerly with occasional gusts throughout the period. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 244 PM CDT FRI JUL 8 2016/ DISCUSSION...As of 2:15 PM CDT Friday...Radar is showing the first signs of convection over the Davis and Guadalupe Mtns. Satl imagery and model data show a ridge aligned over the southern states...from Southern CA to Florida. A shortwave is rotating across northern New Mexico riding along the ridge. This shortwave will interact with decent mid and low level moisture (with a weak mid level moisture feed from East Pacific Hurricane Blas) and an uncapped environment for increasing chances of thunderstorms this aftn thru most of tonight. The latest run of the RAP13 is hinting at a possible MCS dropping SSW over the CWA starting this evening. Regardless...all the high res models do show scattered thunderstorms well into the overnight hours. With fcst soundings indc inverted V profiles there will be strong gusty winds with any thunderstorms. With a slightly better moisture profile there could be locally heavy rain...which in this part of the country...could lead to localized flooding concerns. Ridging amplifies a bit on Sat which might result in a little less convection...especially in the Plains. Even with the ridge amplification temps are fcst to remain just below the century mark in the central and eastern Permian Basin...especially if there is any rain tonight due to added moisture. Ridging will become centered over the Desert SW into West Texas from Sunday thru most of next week. With this pattern most...if not all...of the convection will remain over the higher terrain with weak upslope flow and intense heating. We can also say hello once again to widespread 100+ degree temps in the Plains...105+ in the Pecos and Rio Grande River Valleys...and 90s in the mtns. Strobin && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
