Area forecast discussion, Jun 2, 6:05 PM CDT, 41 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 605 PM CDT Wed Jun 2 2021 .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.
