Area forecast discussion, Jun 7, 6:27 PM CDT, 4 hours 2 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX 627 PM CDT Wed Jun 7 2023 ...New AVIATION... .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. Hennig && .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! -Zuber && .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. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
