.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Monday night)
Issued at 213 PM CDT Sun Aug 21 2022

Scattered to numerous showers and storms are expected through this
evening mainly over the eastern Permian Basin where a surface low
will track. The potential for heavy rain is there again today given
PWATs near 2" and already moist soils. Don't think this heavy rain
will be as widespread so will hold off on a watch, but some
flash flood warnings are possible if storms train over the same area.

A cold front will move through the region overnight and bring cooler
conditions to start of the work week. Highs will only make it to
around 80 for much of the area minus the Rio Grande where highs will
be in the 90s. Rain chances decrease, but we are still expecting
scattered showers and storms over the region as a mid level
disturbance moves overhead.

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday through  Saturday)
Issued at 213 PM CDT Sun Aug 21 2022

Low/mid-level drying in nw flow aloft and in wake of the cold front
will minimize SB instability Tue, except across the far reaches of
the Trans Pecos where better mstr will hold in place. We believe NBM
has PoPs too far n. Weak surface ridging and ne surface winds will
keep high temps below normal, but warmer than Mon. Little change on
Wed with minimal PoPs at best across the PB/SE NM. Mid-level ridging
attempts to start pushing ewd Thu and mid-levels will be a little
drier. Any convection will be confined to the vicinity of the Rio
Grande, NBM looks to be too far n with PoPs. Mid-level flow starts
to respond to the approach of a trof from the nw on Fri, and the
MSLP gradient will tighten. Said trof will then be slow to move
across and loiters thru Sunday. Since yesterday's model runs there
is less amplification with the trof, less QPF, and never pushes a
front thru. ECMWF is most aggressive redeveloping the mid-level
ridge back across the area with high temps low/mid 90s most areas.

Issued at 601 PM CDT Sun Aug 21 2022

Main concerns this forecast will be MVFR cigs developing most
terminals for a few hours as a cold front makes its way through
West Texas and Southeast New Mexico. Front is currently over the
South Plains, and should fropa KHOB shortly after sundown, and
clear KFST shortly after sunrise. Convection will be possible all
terminals, but chances are too low for a mention attm.
