Area forecast discussion, Jun 3, 5:28 PM MDT, 2 hours 59 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 628 PM CDT Mon Jun 3 2019 .DISCUSSION... See aviation discussion below. && .AVIATION... Main concern for this forecast is the potential for storms to impact TAF sites as they move in from the west late evening and overnight. By 02Z storms will be nearing CNM, 05Z HOB-INK-PEQ, 08Z-09Z MAF/FST. MVFR conditions are possible with storms, mostly SE winds, but could be gusty/erratic near storms. As such we have continued the TEMPO groups for TSRA at all TAF sites. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 235 PM CDT Mon Jun 3 2019/ DISCUSSION... .Active weather pattern continues with severe storms and flooding possible through midweek... Not much change expected to the unsettled weather pattern through mid week. An upper level storm system in southern California will move very little through Tuesday night and then slowly eject toward the southern plains Wednesday and Thursday. 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 tonight and Tuesday night in this regime. The better chance of severe storms will remain west of the eastern Permian Basin through Tuesday night as shear will only be modest further east, but locally heavy rainfall can not be ruled out anywhere across west Texas and southeast New Mexico through Tuesday night with precipitable water values above normal. Thunderstorms will still be possible Wednesday as the system ejects slowly onto the western high plains with a few strong to severe storms still possible. The upper level system is forecast to continue to move away from the region Thursday with wrap around showers and storms still possible across the northern and eastern Permian Basin of west Texas. Relief is finally forecast to be on the way by Friday through the weekend with upper level ridging and above normal temperatures expected. A cold front is forecast to bring cooler temperatures early next week. Precipitation chances with this front are uncertain at this time. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
