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 Aug 1, 1:45 PM MDT, 22 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 1, 1:45 PM MDT, 22 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 245 PM CDT MON AUG 1 2016 .DISCUSSION... Not much change to the current forecast, as persistence rules. WV imagery shows the upper ridge centered over the Arklatex, w/afternoon temps across West Texas and Southeast New Mexico already above-normal at 18Z, many of which will top out near the triple digits before the afternoon is out. Over the next 24 hours or so, models center the ridge over Texas, and park it there into the extended. This will result in an increase in thicknesses/H85 temps thru Thursday or so, before models begin to diverge slightly into the extended. Regardless, their differences are minor and all point to a continuation of highs near the century mark each day. Rain chances remain low in general. The cap was slower to erode today than yesterday, and area radars show convection further west of the Pecos, perhaps due to lower theta-e moving into the eastern zones from the south, as has been advertised the past couple of days. In general, the low-lvl thermal and theta-e ridge will remain just to the west of the FA into the extended, w/best chances of convection each day over the higher terrain out west. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
