Area forecast discussion, Jun 17, 5:20 PM MDT, 1 hour 20 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 620 PM CDT Mon Jun 17 2019 .DISCUSSION... See aviation discussion below. && .AVIATION... Storms are scattered across the area with new development near boundaries INVOF MAF. We have opted to include TEMPO TSRA groups at all TAFs sites, except INK, until 03Z. Near MVFR CIGS are possible near sunrise at MAF/HOB. && 2 .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 305 PM CDT Mon Jun 17 2019/ UPDATE... See public discussion below. DISCUSSION... Public products have been updated for Severe Thunderstorm Watch box # 391 until 10 pm CDT or 9 pm MDT for southeast New Mexico and west Texas along and west of a Lamesa, Midland, Sheffield line. Products to be sent shortly. PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 205 PM CDT Mon Jun 17 2019/ DISCUSSION... Despite a weak upper level ridge over the region strong to severe thunderstorms are expected tonight through Tuesday night across west Texas and portions of southeast New Mexico as a couple of upper level disturbances move through the ridge and interact with a moist and very unstable airmass. By Tuesday the dryline should mix far enough east of southeast New Mexico to keep the precipitation east of that area. By Wednesday and Thursday zonal flow aloft will push the dryline into west Central Texas and push the threat of thunderstorms east of the forecast area. Low level thermal ridging and downslope flow will allow high temperatures to climb to much above normal values. Localized Heat Advisory criteria may be met near and along the Rio Grande River(near Boquillas Canyon) Wednesday and Thursday afternoon. Later shifts will need to monitor. By Friday through next weekend southwesterly flow aloft will develop once again ahead of a slow moving Pacific upper level storm system. Default NBM guidance pops seem too low in this regime and prefer the higher superblend pops for thunderstorms in the eastern Permian Basin. Temperatures will remain above normal through the extended forecast. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
