Area forecast discussion, Jun 5, 5:40 PM CDT, 2 hours 58 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 540 PM CDT Wed Jun 5 2019 .DISCUSSION... See 00Z Aviation Discussion below. && .AVIATION... Area radars show a few clusters of convection throughout the area as the upper trough swings thru the region, and we've inserted tempo groups all terminals to cover this, timed roughly w/the trough passage. Otherwise, anvil debris should mitigate low clouds developing overnight and, outside of convection, VFR conditions should prevail. Forecast soundings redevelop a widespread cu field Thu, but little additional convection is anticipated. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 301 PM CDT Wed Jun 5 2019/ DISCUSSION... So far things are mostly quiet on KMAF radar with a few storms trying to enter the far western CWA. Widespread CIN values 50-100 J/kg with ML CAPE only 500 J/kg have prohibited storm initiation over the region. A storm is trying to bloom in the Davis Mtns, but cap is too strong attm. Nonetheless, large scale lift associated w/the upper low, which is now located over central New Mexico, will increase over W TX/SE NM this evening and provide a focus for storm growth. A few storms could become severe with large hail and damaging winds due to adequate bulk shear values of 25-30 kts coupled with mid-level lapse rates 7-8 deg C/km. After storms exit the region late tonight, a dry and calm day is in store tomorrow as a 500 mb ridge develops over the SW U.S.. High temperatures tomorrow should be closer to normal (normal for MAF is lower 90s.) The ridge will continue to build over the region Fri-Sat while a LLTR develops along and W of the Pecos River. This will help elevate high temperatures above normal into the U90s/L100s on Friday. The warmest day of the year so far looks to be Saturday where widespread 100s are likely (even 110+ along the Rio Grande). GFS and ECMWF indicate a cold front will backdoor into the area on Sunday. This front is progged to arrive during the mid-afternoon, which would still allow highs to reach the M/U 90s. Post frontal easterly sfc winds will continue into Monday which will hold temperatures well below normal. PoPs will also make a return to the forecast Monday afternoon mainly across the western zones. Precip chances will continue into mid-week as the ridge slides west over AZ/CA leaving the CWA in southwest flow aloft. Temperatures will remain at or blow normal during this period. -Salerno && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
