.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Thursday night)
Issued at 113 PM CDT Wed Jun 7 2023

An upper jet supporting low pressure over California is currently
directed across northern Mexico with a jet max entering far West
Texas. Lift associated with the jet should cause scattered showers
and thunderstorms to develop...initially in the Guadalupe and
Davis mountains over the next couple of hours, then spreading east
into the adjacent plains, Permian Basin, and Trans Pecos. Shear
and instability are enough to support a marginal threat for large
hail, strong winds, and very heavy rain that could create local
flooding problems in areas with poor drainage or are low lying.

We have to enjoy the below normal temperatures today because they
are the last we will see for a while. High pressure over Mexico
builds north and asserts itself as 500mb heights rise from 580dam
today to 584dam Thursday. This combined with westerly winds take
highs into the 90s tomorrow with the upward trend only beginning.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday through Tuesday)
Issued at 113 PM CDT Wed Jun 7 2023

After below-normal temperatures for the start of June, we are
flipping to the other extreme with above normal highs beginning
this weekend and continuing through the long term period. On
Friday, the upper ridge which has been comfortably sitting to our
west will shift over Texas in response to an upper low over NV,
increasing thickness for the area. This, along with consistent
southerly surface flow, will produce temperatures in the 90s and
100s through next week. Areas along the Trans Pecos could see
triple digit temperatures as early as Friday or Saturday while
much of the Permian Basin will hit triple digits sometime Sunday
through Tuesday. In terms of precipitation, the long term looks
dry with the exception of late Friday as the ridge shifts east and
a disturbance moves across. This could potentially bring a few
thunderstorms to the eastern Permian Basin and lower Trans Pecos,
but confidence is low of anything more widespread so will just
maintain minimal POPs for this time period to account for the
uncertainly. There is a non-zero chance of an isolated
thunderstorm developing off the Guadalupe and Delaware Mountains
any afternoon next week which shouldn't make it beyond the higher
terrain, but otherwise, a the long term is dry.

A little climatology fun...the current forecast has the first
triple digit day for Midland Int'l Air and Space Port this year
as being Sunday, June 11th. Since 1990, the average date of the
first 100+ degree day is May 22nd, so if we hit triple digits on
Sunday, that will be around 20 days later than our average. In the
1990-present time frame, the latest date we ever hit triple
digits at Midland Int'l occurred in 1992 which was July 1st and
the earliest was in 2012 on April 25th!

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 623 PM CDT Wed Jun 7 2023

Scattered thunderstorms are ongoing at issuance near CNM/PEQ/FST,
and thus have included VCTS/TEMPO mention at those terminals, as
well as HOB, early in the period to account for storms. Erratic
gusty winds, lightning, hail, and MVFR conditions in heavy rain
are possible with storms that impact area terminals. Will monitor
and amend as needed this evening, particularly if activity looks
to move east and impact INK/MAF. Outside of storms, VFR conditions
will prevail and winds will generally be E/SE through tonight,
then shift to the S/SW on Thursday.
