.DISCUSSION...

See 00z aviation discussion below.

&&

.AVIATION...

There is a chance of TSRA through the next 24 hours. Most of the
storms are expected to be along and west of the Pecos River this
evening. Winds will be elevated and gusty out of the southeast
this evening then decrease some tonight then increase again Sunday
afternoon out of the southeast. Low ceilings are expected for HOB
tonight into Sunday morning and may impact other terminals as
well.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 501 PM CDT Sat Jun 1 2019/

UPDATE...

Updated forecast for issuance of Severe Thunderstorm Watch.

DISCUSSION...

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for southeast New
Mexico and portions of West Texas until 10 pm MDT/11 pm CDT. The
weather grids were updated to include severe mention across the
whole watch area.

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 253 PM CDT Sat Jun 1 2019/

DISCUSSION...

Not much change expected to the unsettled weather pattern this
weekend through the middle of next week. An upper level storm
system along the California Coast will remain nearly stationary
through Monday and then slowly eject toward the forecast area
Tuesday and Wednesday. Ahead of this system deep and persistent
southwesterly flow aloft will eject periodic disturbances and
interact with a very moist, unstable and sheared atmosphere east
of a surface trough/dryline along the extreme west Texas/eastern
New Mexico border. Thunderstorms, some severe, are anticipated
every day in this regime. Through the day Monday, the highest
probability of thunderstorms will be across the southeast New
Mexico Plains south to the Guadalupe and Davis Mountains, and the
plains immediately adjacent to the mountains. These locations will
be closer to the upper level storm system and passing disturbances.
By late Monday through Wednesday thunderstorms chances will also
increase across the Permian Basin as the system ejects into the
southern rockies.

Relief is finally forecast to be on the way by next Thursday
through Saturday as the upper system ejects east of the area and
replaced by upper level ridging with above normal temperatures
expected.
