The local office's own words before this special weather statement went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Midland/Odessa, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before this special weather statement went out at Jun 18, 1:49 PM CDT, 4 hours 24 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 18, 1:49 PM CDT, 4 hours 24 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 149 PM CDT Tue Jun 18 2019 .DISCUSSION... * Strong to Severe Thunderstorms possible through this evening, accompanied by large to very large hail * Very hot conditions follow late this week Despite a weak upper level ridge over the region strong to severe thunderstorms are expected to develop once again through this evening across mainly west Texas as an upper level disturbance moves through the ridge and interacts with a moist and very unstable airmass east of a dryline. Thunderstorms are beginning to develop in the Davis Mountains and initiation will likely also occur later this afternoon and early this evening further east into the Permian Basin as the cap weakens. In these areas cape values in excess of 3000 j/kg will combine with bulk wind shear of 30 to 40 knots and very steep lapse rates to produce the threat of large to very large hail and damaging winds. The precipitation should be east of the forecast area by 19/06z as the shortwave departs. 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 and more widespread Thursday. Portions of the Permian may also need an advisory by Thursday as well. 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...
