.AVIATION...
00Z TAF issuance
Scattered TS continue across much of the western half of the area.
TS currently noted at KCNM and KHOB. These storms will continue
while another round gathers to the north this evening and moves
through 02-06Z. Gusty winds and heavy rain are likely with these
storms. Uncertainty as to whether low cigs will develop in the
morning after the storms move out of the area. Amendments will
likely be needed through the evening.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 305 PM CDT Wed Jun 2 2021/

DISCUSSION...
Current radar and satellite is showing storms beginning to develop
along a remnant outflow boundary in the Permian Basin, and also in
the higher elevations west of the Pecos River. These storms will
increase in coverage with still several hours of heating left.
Instability and shear is enough that some of these storms will
become severe and potential slow movement may also add an isolated
flash flood threat as well. An upper level disturbance moving
southeast across West Texas may also cause more storms to develop
to the north later tonight, developing into an MCS that will move
southeast across the basin creating a greater wind and flood
threat.

An upper level low will develop from a departing trough and linger
for a few days. Tomorrow it will be located over MAF before
slowly moving east into the weekend. This will cause scattered
showers and storms to once again develop Thursday with rain
chances diminishing each day afterward as the lift exits the
region. A weak ridge building out of Mexico will not only bring
some drier weather but will also let temperatures increase back to
near normal earl next week. A dryline will likely form from
southeastern New Mexico to the Big Bend with temperatures being
moderated some to the east of the dryline by cooler southeast
winds.
