Area forecast discussion, Jul 3, 5:32 PM MDT, 1 hour 41 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 632 PM CDT Wed Jul 3 2019 .DISCUSSION... && .AVIATION... VFR overall with diurnal CU and some high clouds from storms. Could see some low clouds over the Permian Basin toward morning with borderline MVFR cigs at MAF. Also have tempo TSRA at CNM and HOB until 03z. Nocturnal LLJ should keep wind up tonight. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 217 PM CDT Wed Jul 3 2019/ DISCUSSION... An upper level ridge of high pressure will be anchored across the forecast area the next seven days. Despite the presence of the ridge, low level moisture and weak upper level disturbances trapped within the ridge will produce the risk of isolated to widely scattered showers and thunderstorms each day. The better chance most days will be across the favored higher terrain where the cap will be easier to break in upslope flow. Not expecting much severe weather due to weak shear and modest cape, although a few storms could pulse to severe levels. With the persistent ridge in the area, temperatures are expected to be above normal the next 7 days. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
