PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 223 PM CDT Wed Jun 14 2017/

DISCUSSION...

Another active weather day expected again this afternoon and evening
as intense heat gives way to severe thunderstorms. A developing mid
level ridge over N Mexico will keep nearly westerly flow aloft
across the area today. There are subtle hints that a weak shortwave
is crossing over top of the ridge this afternoon. Meanwhile,
temperatures continue to warm to near 100 currently with a diffuse
dryline setting up across the western Permian Basin south to the
Davis Mountains. Storms have already developed across the higher
terrain with initiation likely along the rest of the dryline within
the next few hours. MLCAPE values are nearing 3000 J/kg already
while deep layer shear is around 40 kts. These factors will allow
for storms to organize and quickly become severe. Lapse rates over
8 C/km will be more than sufficient for large hail (some over
2"). Storms will move off to east and weaken around sunset.

Very similar conditions are expected Thursday with temperatures back
into the upper 90's and 100's and more thunderstorms along the
dryline. The dryline looks to be a bit further west tomorrow so
storms will be possible across SE NM and parts of Culberson Co. With
similar atmospheric parameters to today, severe weather will be
possible again Thursday. The mid level ridge repositions itself over
the Desert SW Friday into the weekend. While heights don't increase
much, mid level temperatures rise into the mid 30's C across the
area Friday and Saturday. With deep mixing expected, highs will
climb above 105 across much of the Permian Basin and near 110 in
the Pecos and Rio Grande River Valleys. A Heat Advisory will
likely be needed for much of the area. The dryline will mix
further east, but how far is still unknown so will keep isolated
storms in for now across the Permian Basin south to the Lower
Trans Pecos. Very hot temperatures continue Saturday before we
cool slightly early next week.

The upper ridge continues to build to our west next week with
increasing heights across the area. This will suppress most if
not all convection with high temperatures staying mostly in the
upper 90's and 100's.

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

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

Thunderstorms are possible again this afternoon and evening, mostly
across the Davis Mountains, Trans Pecos and Permian Basin.  Severe
storms are possible, which could produce damaging winds, large hail,
frequent cloud to ground lightning strikes and brief heavy rainfall.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

Elevated fire weather conditions are possible for a few hours each
afternoon Thursday through Saturday across portions of the Guadalupe
Mountains, Southeast New Mexico, and the Trans Pecos. Hot
temperatures and consequent low relative humidity will be the main
threats, but lower winds will limit greater concerns.

A few strong storms are possible Thursday, mostly across the Trans
Pecos and Permian Basin.  Damaging winds, large hail, frequent
lightning, and brief heavy rainfall are possible with these storms.

Very hot temperatures are expected from Thursday through the
weekend, but especially Friday and Saturday when temperatures will
likely be about 10 to 15 degrees above normal.  A Heat Advisory may
be issued for many locations both days.
