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.
