AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX 115 PM CDT THU JUL 7 2005 .SHORT TERM... BOUNDARY FROM OVERNIGHT MCS THAT MOVED THROUGH THE SOUTH PLAINS HAS BECOME DIFFICULT TO DISCERN IN SURFACE DATA. WINDS HAVE BEGUN TO VEER OVER THE WESTERN PERMIAN BASIN AND SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO. REMNANT OF BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO STRETCH NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE PERMIAN BASIN THIS AFTERNOON PROVIDING A FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO AND SOUTHWEST TEXAS WILL ALSO PROVIDE PREFERRED AREAS FOR CONVECTION THROUGH EARLY EVENING. NORTH OF SURFACE BOUNDARY... CONVECTION INITIATION NOT FAVORED DUE TO ENHANCED STABILITY. WITH MODERATE CAPES AND MARGINAL DEEP LAYER SHEAR...ORGANIZED SEVERE CONVECTION IS POSSIBLE MAINLY EAST OF THE PECOS THROUGH EARLY EVENING. IN THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD... CONVECTION IS ANTICIPATED TO BEGIN ONCE AGAIN OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF COLORADO AND NORTHERN NEW MEXICO AND PROPAGATE SOUTH SOUTHEAST OVERNIGHT. WITH A DECENT LOW LEVEL JET AND INCREASING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE OVERNIGHT...ANY SYSTEM THAT DEVELOPS SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE IT AS FAR SOUTH AS THE PERMIAN BASIN. HOLDING OFF ON LARGE POPS AT THIS TIME AS THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A COHERENT SIGNAL IN THE MODELS TO GRASP ONTO. .LONG TERM... UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE OVER MEXICO WILL CONTINUE TO BRING NORTHWEST UPPER LEVEL FLOW TO THE CWA. THIS SCENARIO WILL SUBJECT THE NORTHERN PART OF THE AREA TO MCS/S THAT DEVELOP OVER NORTHERN NEW MEXICO AND SOUTHERN COLORADO AND MOVE SOUTHEAST INTO THE PLAINS AS UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN FRINGES OF THE RIDGE. DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY OF POSITIONS OF THE UPPER LEVEL SYSTEMS AND OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES...WILL NOT MAKE MANY CHANGES TO THE PRECIPITATION FORECASTS. HAVE GENERALLY KEPT THE HIGHEST POPS OVER THE WESTERN CWA. THE ONLY EXCEPTION WILL BE SUNDAY WHERE THE HIGHEST POPS ARE EXPECTED SHIFT TO THE EASTERN HALF OF THE REGION AS A VORT MAX MOVES SOUTHEAST ACROSS THAT AREA. BY LATE MONDAY THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO REESTABLISH ITSELF. HAVE DROPPED RAIN CHANCES AS THE RIDGE BEGINS TO PUSH THE UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES FARTHER NORTH. ON DAY 6 GFS TRIES TO BREAK OUT PRECIPITATION OVER THE NORTHWESTERN CWA DUE TO A VORT MAX MOVING DOWN THE EAST SIDE OF THE UPPER RIDGE. WILL HOLD OFF ON RAISING POPS THAT FAR INTO THE FUTURE. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
