MVFR conditions will continue with CIGs lowering and raising
through out the day. Rain is expected at all terminals with the
heaviest being out west in Southeast New Mexico. TS is likely for
all sites this afternoon with KMAF being the least likely, but TS
is still possible. AMD will be made for lowering CIGs and TSRA as
storms progress this afternoon into the evening. Winds maybe gusty
from thunderstorms but the prevailing direction will remain out
of the east. Light to mod turb is possible over the area this
afternoon.

.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Tuesday night)
Issued at 210 PM CDT Mon Jun 28 2021
The focus will shift to southeast NM as an upper lvl low will center
over the AZ/NM border. The aforementioned low will be the driving
mechanism for precip the next two days. The upper lvl low will
retrograde towards AZ pulling storms NW. PWATs will sit around
1.5 to 1.7 inches which is very anomalous for Southeast NM. A
very rich and moist environment will continue to support abundant
rainfall across much of the area with a few scattered
thunderstorms possible. NAM does redevelop storms southeast of the
Midland/Odessa area bringing another round of storms tonight.
CAMs are highlighting west central Eddy County to be the bullseye
for precip with 2-3 inches and locally higher amounts possible.
Favorable Corfidi vectors and training storms will bring flooding
to Pecos River Valley in southeast NM. The Flash Flood Watch will
continue through 12Z Tuesday and may have to be extended at least
a few hrs.
&&
.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday through Sunday)
Issued at 210 PM CDT Mon Jun 28 2021
By Wed a pattern change will have occurred in which the large upper
anticyclone to the e builds w and the mid-level trof that has
been across W TX will retrograde. This will favor precip chances
to gradually focus across the far w CWFA near the periphery of the
wrn extent of the anticyclone. This will result in s-se mid-level
flow across the Trans Pecos and mstr will get pushed farther w
into Thur. By Fri the upper anticyclone will be far enuf w such
that mid-level flow will turn nw with a deep mid-level trof
extending sw from the Great Lakes region. In general, warmer temps
will accompany the drier trend Wed-Fri, but a cold front will be
favored Fri night-Sat AM. The front will be a good focus for
storms in the nw flow with the possibility of an MCS Sat AM. Said
nw flow aloft will persist thru next weekend and PoPs are likely
to transition back to the typical low order slight chance, but
below normal high temps are supported.
