.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 227 PM CDT Thu Jun 13 2019/

DISCUSSION...

Despite broad 500 hpa ridging over the forecast area, CAMs continue
to initiate convection over the Sacramento Mtns this afternoon as a
shortwave translates over the crest of the ridge. These storms are
forecasted to enter Eddy County around 00Z and dive southeast toward
I-20 after sunset. The pre-storm environment should be conducive for
high-based supercells with ML CAPE values 1500-2000 J/kg, mid-level
lapse rates over 8 deg C/km, and bulk shear around 35 kts. These
storms will be capable of large hail and damaging downdraft winds
due to DCAPE values over 1500 J/kg. Storms should begin to wane
after sunset and progression will be mainly driven by cold pool
interactions. Low temperatures tonight will be warmer than the
last few nights since dew points will remain in the U50/L60s.

Tomorrow will be 5-10 degrees warmer than today as surface winds
veer out of the WSW and dewpoints fall into the 40s in SE New Mexico
and the western mountain areas. Highs should reach the century mark
along the Pecos River and Rio Grande with mid 90s east of a
sharpening dryline. Convection is possible tomorrow afternoon into
tomorrow night as a shortwave trough approaches from the west. Best
chances will be confined to the mountain areas and Big Bend region,
however some models produce QPF over the northern Permian Basin
where storms will be isolated to widely scattered.

Temperatures will be slightly cooler this weekend, despite
southwest surface flow, as an upper trough passes north of the
forecast area. The dryline should reach the eastern fringe of the
CWA both days which will keep PoPs low across much of the area. A
cold front will try to nose into the northern CWA Sunday night
into Monday which will increase rain chances slightly across the
northeastern zones. Temperatures will not fluctuate much through
the middle of next week as a flat ridge persists over the region.
