NWS Midland/Odessa, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 14, 1:30 PM CST, 6 hours 50 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX 230 PM CDT THU JUL 14 2005 .SHORT TERM... UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM IS STILL SITUATED OVER THE FOUR CORNERS AREA. THIS POSITION IS RESULTING IN NORTHEASTERLY UPPER LEVEL FLOW OVER THE CWA. IN ADDITION...AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH EXTENDS FROM A LOW OVER KENTUCKY INTO THE CENTRAL CWA. WEAK VORTICITY MAXES ASSOCIATED WITH THE TROUGH WILL COMBINE WITH OROGRAPHICAL LIFTING TO PRODUCE WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE MOUNTAINOUS AREAS AND ADJACENT PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO DEVELOP OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA DUE TO A VORTICITY MAX THAT WILL BE LOCATED OVER THE CENTRAL CWA AS IT SWINGS AROUND THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. SEVERAL OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM THE CONVECTION YESTERDAY WILL PROVIDE LOW LEVEL FOCI FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. WILL KEEP THE HIGHEST POPS ACROSS THE CENTRAL SECTIONS OF THE CWA IN THE CLOSEST PROXIMITY TO THE UPPER LEVEL VORT MAX. POPS IN THE 40 PERCENT RANGE WILL EXTEND FROM THE DAVIS MOUNTAIN AREA INTO THE NORTHEAST PERMIAN BASIN. WITH CAPES IN THE 1000 TO 1500J/KG AND A COLD POOL ASSOCIATED WITH THE VORT MAX...SOME OF THE STORMS MAY HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF APPROACHING SEVERE LIMITS WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL THE MAIN THREATS. WILL MENTION THIS POSSIBILITY ON THE HWO. .LONG TERM... NO CHANGE TO PREVIOUS LONG TERM REASONING. AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL PERSIST OVER OR VERY CLOSE TO THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS THROUGH THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...WHILE THE SUMMERTIME SUBTROPICAL HIGH WILL PERSIST OVER THE GREAT BASIN. THE AIRMASS ACROSS THE REGION WILL REMAIN MOIST AND WEAKLY UNSTABLE THROUGH AT LEAST THE WEEKEND. CONSEQUENTLY... ISOLATED TO SCATTERED...MAINLY DIURNAL...CONVECTION CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEKEND. IT IS DIFFICULT TO PIN DOWN ANY FAVORED AREAS FOR CONVECTION AWAY FROM THE MOUNTAINS...AND AFTER MONDAY OR SO BECOMES MORE DIFFICULT...ASSUMING THAT HRCN EMILY WILL TRANSLATE ACROSS THE BAY OF CAMPECHE AND INTO MEXICO AS INDICATED BY THE DOMINANT CLUSTER OF EXTENDED MODEL SOLUTIONS. SHOULD THIS SYSTEM EVOLVE AS SHOWN BY THESE MODES...AN INCREASE IN SUBSIDENCE ALOFT IN RESPONSE TO A STRENGTHENING SUBTROPICAL HIGH TO THE NORTHWEST OF EMILY MAY RESULT IN LOWERED CONVECTIVE CHANCES HEREABOUTS. OTHERWISE...TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN CLOSE TO NORMAL THROUGH THE WEEKEND GIVEN THE MOIST SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW AT THE SURFACE AND SOMEWHAT COOLER THICKNESSES BENEATH THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER TROUGH. THE PREVIOUS SET OF GRIDS WERE IN EXCELLENT SHAPE AND ONLY MINOR TWEAKS WITH THE TEMPERATURE...WIND...AND DEWPOINT GRIDS WERE REQUIRED. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
