84What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 3, 6:38 PM CDT, 3 hours 20 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 3, 6:38 PM CDT, 3 hours 20 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 638 PM CDT Sun Jun 3 2018 .DISCUSSION... See aviation discussion below. && .AVIATION... Storms continue to move farther e and leading edge is about 100NM sw of CNM. We still think there is a good chance for those storms to make it to the wrn TAF sites this evening possibly around 02Z- 03Z. A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect for the w and severe storms could impact the wrn terminals. We have also included TEMPO TSRA at MAF around starting 04Z. Otherwise updates to TAF will occur as storms approach. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 247 PM CDT Sun Jun 3 2018/ DISCUSSION... It has been pleasant today with mostly sunny skies and highs in most areas only reaching the 80s and 90s. Couple that with some rain tonight and it could be a really good 24 hours. Unfortunately along with the rain we may be dealing with large hail and strong, gusty winds as several models (including the HRRR/NAM/GFS) are showing an MCS developing in our western CWA and moving east across the Permian Basin. The biggest severe threat will be strong winds, though large hail will also be possible, especially early on before the discreet cells merge into one linear complex. Also cannot rule out heavy rain causing isolated urban flash flooding where drainage is poor, but the fast moving system will limit rainfall totals so will not hit on this threat too much at this time. Enjoy today because the heat quickly returns tomorrow and even more so Tue-Thu when heat advisory criteria may be met with highs exceeding 105. The upper high pressure system causing this heat breaks down slightly Friday and shifts its position off of West Texas, providing some relief to the heat. Hennig && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
