.UPDATE...
Canceling Flash Flood Watch.

.DISCUSSION...
The Flash Flood Watch for the southern CWA was set to expire at
12z. However as the threat of widespread heavy rain is not
expected in that area today went ahead and cancelled the watch.
A chance of showers and thunderstorms does remain across much of
the area today but any heavy rain should be very localized.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 610 AM CDT Sun Sep 22 2019/

DISCUSSION...

See 12z aviation discussion below.

AVIATION...

Low ceilings are expected at HOB until around 16z; otherwise, VFR
conditions will occur. There is a slight chance of thunderstorms
during the TAF period. Winds will generally be light out of the
south but will be somewhat variable.

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 335 AM CDT Sun Sep 22 2019/

DISCUSSION...
One upper trough crosses the Rockies onto the plains today as the
next one moves ashore the WA/OR coast.  This next trough will
develop a cut off low over the Great Basin Monday that moves down
across AZ to Mexico Tuesday.  This low will wobble around a couple
days before lifting NE across NM late Thursday/early Friday.  As it
does a third upper trough/low will swing down across WA and slowly
sink across OR and CA Saturday and Sunday.  As all this happens the
region will stay on the western edge of the ridge which remains over
the SE US.

Rain fell across much of the area Saturday and a broad swatch of
light to moderate rain continued from Presidio to Snyder overnight.
Panther Junction... Rio Grande Village... Chisos Basin and Lamesa
all reported over an inch of rain.  This ongoing rainfall should
continue to weaken and slowly drift east the rest of the night. Will
leave the Flash Flood Watch in effect until it expires at 12z. There
will be a lower chance for additional showers and thunderstorms
across much of the area today and tonight.  With an upper low
setting up west of the area for the first of the week will have a
chance of more showers and storms each day.

Temperatures today and Monday should be a little cooler with the
clouds and rain. Expect to see widespread 80s today and Monday with
90s returning Tuesday and continuing the rest of the week.  A weak
front is expected to move down into the South Plains today but
should not make it into the CWA.  Looking out the next 10 days no
fropa is expected so will be little day to day change in
temperatures.
