Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 203 PM CDT Sun Jul 11 2021 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1218 PM CDT Sun Jul 11 2021 VFR overall. Storms fired early over SE NM... HOB will be the first TAF site possibly affected with CNM... INK... and MAF later this afternoon or evening. May have local MVFR cigs in storms. Severe storms possible... could see wind gusts in excess of 50kts with some hail. && .SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Monday night) Issued at 158 PM CDT Sun Jul 11 2021 Have an upper ridge centered over Srn NV this morning with a trough over MO extending into the plains. This trough will trim the east edge of the ridge off as it moves south Monday. A weak front just north of the CWA is expected to sag into the area today as outflows push it southward. Rain and clouds expected to keep afternoon highs well below normal today across the northern half of the area with 90s along the Pecos River Valley and around 100 along the Rio grande. Lows tonight will mainly be in the 60s with afternoon highs Monday a couple degrees warmer. Storms blew up before 17z in Nrn Lea County and slowly moved east. These storms are producing hail... gusty wind... and locally heavy rain. The heaviest rain tonight expected to remain over SE NM with localized flooding possible. Only low pops expected Monday and Monday night as drier pattern begins. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday through Saturday) Issued at 158 PM CDT Sun Jul 11 2021 The upper lvl pattern will not change much over the course of this week into next weekend. The upper ridge will maintain its position over the Great Basin region and slowly flatten out Tuesday thru Friday. The ridge will then begin building back over the Four Corners region next weekend. Meanwhile across West TX, weak disturbances will move through anticyclonic flow (northerly to northeasterly) and keep precipitation chances confined to the higher terrain of West Texas and southeast New Mexico mainly west of the Pecos River. High temperatures will increase slightly each day from Tuesday thru Friday as the low lvl thermal ridge expands ewd and assocd 850 hpa temps slowly increase each day. Highs in the low to mid 90s can be expected with a few 100s in the river valleys. The avg high for MAF is 96F so it looks like we will continue our streak of below normal high temperatures. -Salerno && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
