Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX
304 PM CDT Sun Oct 14 2018

.DISCUSSION...

Area radars show the cold front slowing up around 40 miles north of
KMAF.  The NAM had pegged fropa at KMAF at around 22Z, but if trends
continue, it'll be sooner than that.  To the west, WV imagery shows
a trough moving thru NM, which will intersect the front later this
afternoon and initiate convection.  Best instabilities lie
along/east of a weak dryline set up over the ern zones.  Front will
undercut the storms, especially after dark as it surges south.  Temp
profiles still suggest the Guadalupes and nrn Lea County will see
their first freeze, and we'll upgrade the Freeze Watch to a Warning
there.  High gap winds thru KGDP look likely, as well, although MOS
is naturally a bit too robust.  Winds across the rest of the CWA
look to remain under advisory level attm, except for Van Horn/Hwy 54
Corridor, which could see advisory winds on the ridgetops.

Main concern over the next couple of days will be winter precip.
Forecast soundings are almost unanimous in developing FZRA over the
Guadalupes/Davis', beginning late Mon afternoon and continuing thru
at least Tue.  Fortunately, we're starting this event w/warm soil
temps, and accumulations look to be well blo advisory criteria.

Overnight, another upstream trough approaching the Four Corners will
dig into the SW CONUS, and cut off over SoCal/AZ by 00Z Tue.  From
there, it will slowly move back up to the Four Corners by 06Z Fri.
This will open a window in SW flow aloft for good chances of -SHRA
every day into the extended.  Temps look to warm enough to rule out
winter precip by midweek, but nevertheless should remain well blo
normal. Fall has arrived.
