44What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning 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 river flood warning went out at Oct 15, 6:44 PM CDT, 1 hour 32 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 15, 6:44 PM CDT, 1 hour 32 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 644 PM CDT Sun Oct 15 2017 .DISCUSSION... && .AVIATION... Post frontal conditions will remain VFR and the few lingering showers south of the Pecos River should continue to dissipate. Skies will also continue to clear from north to south. Light and variable wind will slowly come back around to the south. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 128 PM CDT Sun Oct 15 2017/ DISCUSSION... Looks like a quiet work week with moderating temperatures to near or slightly above normal high temperatures by Tuesday as an upper level ridge builds across the southwestern United States. The upper ridge is forecast to flatten Wednesday through Friday and be replaced by a weak upper level trough. The combination of the weak trough and lack of instablilty precludes precipitation chances these days. Unsettled weather may return next weekend as the next potent Pacific system heads toward the rockies or plains. There are significant differences amongst the guidance in the timing of this system this far out. Superblend depicts chance pops for showers and thunderstorms Saturday night and Sunday across the region with the majority of the models generating precipitation with this system. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
