AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX 208 PM CDT WED JUL 13 2005 .SHORT TERM... UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL CONTINUE OVER THE FOUR CORNERS AREA THROUGH THE SHORT TERM WITH AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH EXTENDING FROM A LOW OVER THE MIDWEST INTO THE CWA. THE POSITIONS OF THESE SYSTEMS WILL KEEP NORTH TO NORTHEAST UPPER LEVEL FLOW OVER THE CWA. ANOTHER MCS IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER NORTHERN NEW MEXICO IN RESPONSE TO A WEAK SHORTWAVE AND MOVE SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST ALONG THE EASTERN EDGE OF THE UPPER HIGH HIGH. THEREFORE...THE BEST CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE OVER THE NORTHERN SECTIONS OF SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO AS THIS MCS APPROACHES THIS REGION BY EARLY MORNING. OTHERWISE...WEAK VORTICITY MAXES ASSOCIATED WITH THE TROUGH WILL COMBINE WITH OROGRAPHICAL LIFTING TO PRODUCE WIDELY SCATTERED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE MOUNTAINOUS AREAS AND ADJACENT PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WILL KEEP LOW POPS FOR THE REST OF THE AREA AS THE WEAK VORT MAXES AND AFTERNOON HEATING PROVIDE ENOUGH LIFT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS. .LONG TERM... MORE OF THE SAME IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE CWFA THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK AS A MID/UPPER TROPOSPHERIC DEFORMATION ZONE WILL PERSIST OVER THE REGION. THIS WEAKNESS ALONG WITH A MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS WILL ALLOW FOR DIURNAL CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...WITH PERHAPS A BETTER CHANCE OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND ADJACENT PLAINS. WE COULD SEE LATE NIGHT ACTIVITY AS WELL SHOULD MCS DEVELOPMENT TAKE PLACE TO OUR NORTH... BUT CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH IN THIS SCENARIO AT THE MOMENT. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN AT OR A BIT ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK GIVEN THE ABOVE REASONING. STILL TOO EARLY TO TELL WHAT EFFECTS...IF ANY...THE FUTURE HRCN EMILY WILL HAVE ON THE WX HEREABOUTS. SHOULD EMILY FOLLOW THE PATH AS SHOWN BY THE LATEST EXTENDED MODEL GUIDANCE...WE MAY SEE A SLIGHT INCREASE IN TEMPERATURES LATE IN THE EXTENDED AS SUBSIDENCE AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM SPREADS ACROSS THE AREA. PLEASE REFER TO THE LATEST STATEMENTS AND ADVISORIES FROM THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER REGARDING EMILY. THE GRIDS WERE IN GOOD SHAPE OVERALL AND NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE EXISTING FORECAST DATABASE. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
