Area forecast discussion, Jun 21, 6:47 PM CDT, 1 hour 41 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX
Issued by National Weather Service San Angelo TX
647 PM CDT Fri Jun 21 2019

.DISCUSSION...

&&

.AVIATION...

Look for VFR conditions to continue through 00Z Sunday. Some
thunderstorms will continue into this evening; however, timing and
location confidence too low to include any thunderstorms in any
of the terminals, except VCTS in the Fort Stockton terminal, until
02Z this evening.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued Issued by National Weather Service San Angelo TX/

DISCUSSION...

Models this forecast cycle remain very consistent, when compared
to previous runs. The upper flow over West Texas and Southeast New
Mexico will continue from the southwest, at least through Sunday
afternoon. Then, another upper trough axis will move out of the
southern Rockies and into the Plains. Meanwhile, some convection
may develop along and near a dryline; thus, this potential,
although a small potential, deserves at least 20 PoPs, for mainly
our eastern counties this evening, as well as Saturday and Sunday
evenings. Otherwise, for this next work week, the forecast is
mainly dry, except for perhaps afternoon convection over the Davis
Mountains a couple of days.

FIRE WEATHER...

Dry and breezy conditions are expected to develop behind a dryline
this afternoon with minimum relative humidity dropping to 8-15
percent across the Guadalupe Mountains and the southeast New
Mexico Plains. Despite ERC values mainly in the 25 to 50th
percentile, RFTI's will likely range from 3 to 5. Similar
conditions may develop Saturday afternoon.
