Area forecast discussion, Jun 3, 11:45 PM CDT, 1 hour 28 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX
1145 PM CDT Sun Jun 3 2018

.DISCUSSION...

See 06Z Aviation Discussion below.

&&

.AVIATION...

Area radars show a line of convection running roughly N-S along
the Texas/NM border...moving ENE. By issuance time, this activity
should have cleared KCNM, KPEQ, and KHOB. Convection will be
possible other terminals over the next few hrs, w/strong
outflows/hvy rain. Otherwise, a westerly component to the sfc flow
picks up tomorrow. A widespread cu field will be possible Mon
afternoon, w/bases 4.5-5 kft AGL.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 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.
