warm or hot weather when car interiors can reach lethal 
temperatures in a matter of minutes.

...HEAT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM CDT /8 PM MDT/ THIS
EVENING...

* TEMPERATURE...100 to 105 degrees in higher terrain. 105 to 110
  across the northern and eastern Permian Basin. 110 to 115
  degrees along the Pecos River.

* IMPACTS...Use caution with any outdoor activities. Prolonged 
  heat exposure combined with physical activity can cause heat 
  exhaustion and heat stroke. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Take extra precautions, if you work or spend time outside. When 
possible, reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or 
evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat 
stroke. Wear light weight and loose fitting clothing when possible
and drink plenty of water.

To reduce risk during outdoor work, the occupational safety and 
health administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks 
in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat
should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an 
emergency, call 9 1 1.

be a degree or two low.

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 433 AM CDT Fri Jun 16 2017/

DISCUSSION...

See 12Z Aviation Discussion below.

AVIATION...

VFR conditions will prevail next 24 hours, w/westerly flow in the
west, and return flow east. Forecast soundings develop a hi-based
cu field by late morning/early afternoon Texas terminals, w/bases
8-9 kft agl. Convective chances look lower today than yesterday.

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 359 AM CDT Fri Jun 16 2017/

DISCUSSION...

Upper ridging is over the southcentral and southwest parts of the
country with northwest flow over the CWA. A dryline will be across
the eastern Permian Basin and Lower Trans Pecos this afternoon. Good
CAPE and shear values will be present along with very steep mid-
level lapse rates so any storms that develop along or to the east of
the dryline will have the potential to become severe. Large hail and
damaging winds will be the main potential hazards with any storms
that develop. Westerly winds to the west of the dryline will aid in
temperatures heating up across the area this afternoon. Temperatures
around 105 degrees will be widespread with areas around the Pecos
and Rio Grande Rivers climbing to 110 to 115 degrees. A Heat
Advisory is in effect for much of West Texas and southeast New
Mexico this afternoon into early this evening.

Temperatures are expected to heat up even more across portions of
the area on Saturday as 850 mb temperatures increase. The record
high temperature for Midland is likely to either be met or
surpassed with a high of 108 degrees expected. A Heat Advisory
will likely be issued for tomorrow for much of the area as well. A
slight cool off is expected for Sunday as a cold front moves into
the area beginning Sunday morning. This will result in
temperatures cooling into the 90s across the northern Permian
Basin and southeast New Mexico. Temperatures are expected to be a
little cooler on Monday with many places experiencing highs in the
90s as the surface high moves closer to the area. Temperatures
will warm back up into the triple digits for many places on
Tuesday with an upper ridge dominating the southwest part of the
country. This warming trend will continue into Wednesday and
Thursday. Expect conditions to be mostly dry next week.

This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of southeast New
Mexico, southwest Texas and western Texas.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

Hot temperatures are expected through mid evening. All but the
highest elevations are expected to have highs at or above 100
degrees, with many locations exceeding 105 degrees. A Heat Advisory
is in effect through mid evening.

Fire danger will be high across Southeast New Mexico and parts of
Trans Pecos through mid evening due to unseasonably hot temperatures
and dry air.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY

concerns.
