Area forecast discussion, Jun 3, 6:46 PM CDT, 3 hours 50 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 646 PM CDT Fri Jun 3 2022 ...New AVIATION... .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 640 PM CDT Fri Jun 3 2022 VFR will prevail outside of brief reduced vsbys due to TSRA. Current area radar shows storms impacting CNM and closing in on INK and PEQ. Will maintain TEMPOs for TSRA through 02Z-04Z for those terminals. Elswhere, confidence is too low to mention TSRA, but will monitor and amd as needed. Winds should remain gusty out of the ESE this evening and stay elevated at most sites overnight. && .SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Saturday night) Issued at 212 PM CDT Fri Jun 3 2022 Early this morning, much of the Permian Basin was impacted by a line of thunderstorms, bringing continued much needed rains. This system and corresponding mesoscale-convective vortex have cleared the area. Surprisingly, very little cloud cover was left over behind this system and abundant sunshine is expected early this afternoon. High temperatures this afternoon will largely range from the upper 80s to low 90s. Later this afternoon, an approaching shortwave trough rounding the ridge will initiate thunderstorms across the western higher terrain. These thunderstorms are expected to slowly grow upscale and sag southeast through this evening and the early overnight hours. Much of the Permian Basin will likely be impacted by this convective system that all convective guidance is forecasting to develop. This convective system will likely ride along a remnant outflow boundary from this morning's thunderstorms that is setting up from Eddy County southeast across the southern half of the Permian Basin. Low- level moisture and effective shear will be maximized along and north of this feature, helping maintain thunderstorm organization. While damaging winds and large hail will be the main hazards, an isolated tornado can not be discounted. One potential concern is as the low- level jet ramps up late this evening, any surface based thunderstorms could pose an increased tornado risk for a short window before nocturnal stabilization takes effect. Additionally, torrential rainfall and localized flooding will be possible with any thunderstorms with above 90th percentile perceptible water values based on the 12Z Midland sounding. This activity will clear the area overnight and by early Saturday morning most locations will see temperatures in the 60s. As the shortwave trough exits the region, west winds will develop across the area, pushing the dryline into our far eastern counties. With west winds, building heights, and clear skies, temperatures warm back up quickly with upper 90s and low 100s expected for much of the area. Late Saturday afternoon and evening, a few thunderstorms may be possible along and east of the dryline, but thunderstorm coverage should be sparse and precipitation amounts are expected to remain light. Temperatures remain mild Saturday night with moisture sloshing back west corresponding with the low-level jet. Morning low temperatures in the mid 60s to low 70s can be expected. && .LONG TERM... (Sunday through Thursday) Issued at 212 PM CDT Fri Jun 3 2022 The heat returns Sunday with much of the area seeing highs exceed the century mark. This will be due to surface high pressure moving east allowing for a more easterly location of the dryline. The low level thermal ridge will be centered from the Big Bend to the western Permian Basin with 850 mb temps reaching 32C. These temps rise to 34C Monday and 35C Tuesday when the hottest high temperatures are expected. Extrapolating these temps to the surface yields highs exceeding 105F for most of the Permian Basin, Trans Pecos, and Rio Grande Valley likely requiring a Heat Advisory at some point. An upper level high pressure system develops over central Texas on Wednesday. Upper and mid level winds then shift from the west to a light east or southeasterly direction holding the dryline farther west. With the thermal ridge pushing back to the west, the eastern half of the CWA will have better access to cooler Gulf air allowing temperatures to drop a few degrees...though still quite hot.
