Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX
Issued by National Weather Service SAN ANGELO TX
604 PM CDT Mon Jun 12 2017

.AVIATION...
00Z TAF Issuance

Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue
across portions of the Trans Pecos region and Permian Basin, with
most convection dissipating by mid evening. VCTS groups were
included at KMAF, KINK, and KFST, where the best chance of
thunderstorms exists. Any thunderstorms may result in reduced
visibilities along with the possibility of hail and gusty winds.
Otherwise, VFR conditions are forecast to prevail through the next
24 hours. Gusty south winds will decrease to 6 to 12 knots by mid
to late evening.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued Issued by National Weather Service SAN ANGELO TX/

DISCUSSION...
Not many changes to the current forecast as the ridge rules. WV
imagery shows the west coast upper trough has begun its NE
trajectory, and centered over the junction of NV/UT/ID. Further
south, the upper ridge remains centered over Durango, Mexico, and
nosing NE into Texas. Surface obs/analysis shows the dryline
backed up against the western mountains, and this feature should
begin mixing east at any time. Despited warm temperatures aloft,
convergence along the dryline was enough to initiate convection
over the lower Trans Pecos/Big Bend yesterday afternoon. H7
temperatures on today's 12Z KMAF RAOB came in about 1C cooler than
yesterday, so a repeat of isolated activity seems likely this
afternoon/evening, as well as the next couple of days. Forecast
soundings yield CAPEs in excess of 2000 J/kg and steep lapse rates
each afternoon, and deep layer shear increasing Tue/Wed for
organized convection along the dryline. Wet-bulb zero heights are
getting to the upper limit for large hail, but high CCLs will
leave the door open for damaging winds, and we'll mention this in
the HWO.

As the west coast trough ejects up into Canada, the Mexican ridge
will begin building north into the SW CONUS, dominating the
extended forecast. This will keep the thermal ridge axis generally
just west of the CWA, allowing continued triple-digit temps many
locations each afternoon.
