Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Midland/Odessa TX
1130 AM CST Sun Feb 25 2024

...New AVIATION...

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Monday afternoon)
Issued at 152 AM CST Sun Feb 25 2024

WV imagery shows the upper ridge extending from Nevada into
Central America. This is less amplified than 24 hours ago, but
still leaves West Texas and Southeast New Mexico under dry,
northwest flow aloft.

Leeside troughing will strengthen today, inducing/increasing
westerly downslope flow across the region. This will add a warming
component to temperatures over the next couple of days as
thicknesses increase. Models tend to underestimate this assist,
and NBM deterministic solutions are under the 25th percentile, so
staying on the warmer side seems to be the better solution. Cloud
cover may negate highs somewhat. That said, highs this afternoon
should top out at least 17-19F above normal.

Despite westerly flow over the next 24 hours, boundary layer
moisture is forecast to increase a little. West winds 10-15 mph
overnight, coupled with plenty of mid/high cloud, will similarly
keep overnight minimums well above normal.

Monday, the upper ridge moves through the area, flattened moreso
than today with zonal flow aloft. Cloud cover is forecast to
increase, and this will play hob on both temperatures and winds
during the afternoon. The NAM12 begins developing a significant
mountain wave signature over the Guadalupes Monday afternoon, and
700mb winds are forecast to increase to 40-45kts. This will likely
result in marginal high winds developing in the Guadalupes late
in the afternoon. Despite the expected cloud cover, Monday should
be the warmest day this forecast, w/highs topping out in the upper
80s/lower 90s most locations. The first triple-digit temperatures
of the year will be possible along the Rio Grande.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Monday night through Saturday)
Issued at 152 AM CST Sun Feb 25 2024

Strong westerly winds will continue Monday night into Tuesday
night as the mid to upper trough and associated jet streak move
through the area. Consequently, a High Wind Watch (which may be
upgraded to a High Wind Warning) will remain in effect for the
Guadalupe and Delaware Mountains through Tuesday night. While
mostly cloudy to cloudy skies are still expected until at least
midday Thursday when skies are forecast to clear from west to
east, the presence of the jet streak will allow higher winds to
mix down to the surface Monday night into Wednesday. Sustained
westerly winds above 30 mph with wind gusts at or above 50 mph are
forecast for much of the Permian Basin, all of the southeast New
Mexico Plains and Guadalupe into Davis Mountains, as well as the
Marfa Plateau and western Stockton Plateau. Winds will remain
gusty but lessen as a surface cold front associated with the mid
to upper trough moves from north to south across the day on
Wednesday. Following the passage of this cold front, lee troughing
remains progged to develop across New Mexico, albeit a bit
farther west than in previous runs. Southeasterly winds east of
the lee troughing and southerly to southwesterly winds west of the
lee troughing are expected each afternoon from Thursday into
Sunday. On Sunday afternoon, the next mid to upper trough moving
north of the region will result in an increase in clouds and
southwesterly winds. Winds will subside some, but remain westerly
Sunday night into Monday morning as skies clear for much of the
region once again.

Monday night will be the warmest night of the period, with lows
20 to 25 degrees above average and mostly in the upper 50s to
lower 60s, aside from some 40s in higher elevations. Tuesday will
feature another warmer than average day, with highs 15 to 20
degrees above average and mostly in the 70s and 80s for most of
the region, with some 60s in higher elevations and 90s near the
Rio Grande. Tuesday night will be cooler than Monday night, but
still above average, with lows ranging from the 30s over northern
Lea County and northern Permian Basin, into the 50s across the
Stockton Plateau and into the upper 50s to lower 60s near the Rio
Grande. In the wake of the cold frontal passage on Wednesday into
Thursday, highs will be below average, with mostly mid to upper
50s across the southeastern New Mexico plains and northern Permian
Basin, as well as the higher elevations, with 60s for most other
locations aside from 70s near the Rio Grande. Wednesday night will
be the coldest night of the long term with lows ranging from the
30s to low 40s. With persistent southerly flow, lows will rebound
above average Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday night, with
lows mostly in the 40s Friday night, mostly in the 40s with low
50s showing up in eastern parts of the Permian Basin, Stockton
Plateau, and Rio Grande, and much the same Sunday night. The
persistent flow will also cause a rebound in highs, with mainly
70s for highs expected on Friday, mostly 70s with some 80s across
the Stockton Plateau and 90s near the Rio Grande on Saturday, and
much the same for Sunday.
