AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX 315 PM CDT MON JUL 25 2005 .SHORT TERM... STRONG HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE CONTINUES OVER THE SOUTHERN CONUS WITH A WEAK SHEAR AXIS DIVIDING THE RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN CWA ALONG THE TEXAS NEW MEXICO BORDER. THIS AXIS IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN AND MOVE EAST DUE TO AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE BRUSHING THE AREA TO THE NORTH AS IT MOVES AROUND THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THE RIDGE. HAVE INCLUDED ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE MOUNTAINOUS AND WESTERN AREAS THIS EVENING WHERE LIFT WILL BE AIDED BY POSITIVE VORTICITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHEAR AXIS AND TERRAIN FEATURES. THESE THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DECREASE WITH THE LOSS OF AFTERNOON HEATING. HAVE MADE SLIGHT ADJUSTMENTS TO THE MINIMUM TEMPERATURES FOR TONIGHT. EXPECT READINGS TO BE IN THE 70S OVER MOST OF THE CWA WITH A FEW 60 DEGREE READINGS IN THE MOUNTAINOUS AREAS AND THE EXTREME NORTHERN CWA. .LONG TERM... THE MAIN FOCUS FOR THE LONG TERM FORECAST WILL BE RAIN CHANCES FOR THE MIDDLE OF THIS WEEK AS A STRONG... FOR JULY STANDARDS... COLD FRONT MOVES INTO WEST TEXAS AND SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO. AS OF 25/18Z... THE COLD FRONT WAS LOCATED FROM NE CO INTO SE SD. 25/12Z SURFACE TEMPERATURES BEHIND THE FRONT WERE QUITE COOL WITH LOWER 50S F ACROSS NORTHERN MT WITH LOWER 40S F ACROSS THE BORDER IN CANADA. 850MB TEMPERATURES IN THE MENTIONED REGION WERE IN THE 7-9C RANGE. THE SHORT RANGE MODELS AGREE THIS COLD FRONT WILL BE PUSHING INTO THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE TEXAS PANHANDLE EARLY TOMORROW MORNING... THEN MAKE STEADY SOUTHWARD PROGRESS TOWARDS THE REGION THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES TOMORROW WILL BE TRICKY AS THERE WILL BE AN INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER... HOWEVER 850MB TEMPERATURES REMAIN QUITE WARM ACROSS AT LEAST THE SOUTHERN 1/2 OF THE AREA TOMORROW. WE HAVE OPTED TO RAISE TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY OVER THE MENTIONED REGION... WITH THE MOST SIGNIFICANT INCREASE ALONG THE RIO GRANDE. CONDITIONS STILL APPEAR FAVORABLE FOR RAINFALL ACROSS ALL OF WEST TEXAS AND SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO AS INCREASING MOISTURE INTERACTS WITH THE MENTIONED COLD FRONT.

THE FOCUS FOR RAINFALL WILL SHIFT SLOWLY TO THE SOUTH INTO THE BIG BEND AND LOWER TRANS PECOS REGION BY LATE WEDNESDAY. CURRENT THINKING IS THERE WILL BE ENOUGH CONVECTION TO HELP PUSH THE BOUNDARY A LITTLE FARTHER SOUTH THAN THE CURRENT FORECAST MODELS INDICATE. HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE TO BE A CONCERN AND FOR NOW... WE WILL CONTINUE THE MENTION OF HEAVY RAINFALL IN A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT (LBBSPSMAF) AND THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK (LBBHWOMAF).
