NWS Midland/Odessa, TX wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 6, 2:45 AM CST, 1 hour 10 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX 345 AM CDT WED JUL 6 2005 .SHORT TERM... A SHORTWAVE TROUGH CURRENTLY MOVING THROUGH NEW MEXICO AIDING CONVECTION OVER THE TEXAS PANHANDLE. A NORTHWEST/SOUTHEAST BOUNDARY EXTENDING ACROSS THE TEXAS PANHANDLE WILL PROBABLY ALLOW SOME OF THESE STORMS TO DEVELOP...OR ADVECT INTO THE WESTERN LOW ROLLING PLAINS OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THE GENERAL INTENSITY OF THIS CONVECTION APPEARS TO BE DECREASING ON THE LATEST RADAR DATA...SO WILL NOT MENTION SEVERE STORMS IN THE ZONES. AFTER THE CURRENT CONVECTION PRESSES EASTWARD AND OUT OF THE AREA BY AROUND 06/11Z...WE SHOULD NOT SEE MUCH ELSE UNTIL LATE THIS AFTERNOON. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS PROGGED TO SKIRT THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE UPPER RIDGE WHICH HAS BEEN OVER THE CWA THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS. COULD SEE MAINLY PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO AFFECTED BY LATE AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY FROM STORMS MOVING EASTWARD OFF THE HIGHER TERRAIN OVER SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO. EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP INTO AN MCS AFTER 07/00Z AS H85 LLJ STRENGTHENS. WILL THEREFORE...CARRY A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE NORTHEAST ZONES...WHICH TAPERS TO ISOLATED POPS ROUGHLY ALONG THE PECOS RIVER. SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD BE SEVERE WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL THE MAIN THREATS. WILL MENTION IN THE HWO FOR NOW...AND ALLOW THE DAYSHIFT TO REFINE AFFECTED AREAS. TEMPERATURES WILL PROBABLY END UP A COUPLE OF DEGREES WARMER OVER YESTERDAY/S MAXES AS H85 TEMPS WARM A LITTLE. LOWERED MIN TEMPERATURES A LITTLE...ESPECIALLY OVER THE NORTHEAST HALF OF THE CWA WHERE PRECIPITATION MAY COOL READINGS DOWN. .LONG TERM... UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE TO REMAIN ANCHORED ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST UNITED STATES THROUGH THE FORECAST CYCLE WITH AN ACTIVE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT REGIME THROUGH SATURDAY. POTENTIAL CONTINUES FOR CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES TO FORM AND MOVE SOUTHEAST OFF THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF NEW MEXICO THURSDAY...FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT WHICH WOULD FAVOR HIGHEST NOCTURNAL POPS ACROSS THE NORTHERN PERMIAN BASIN AND SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO THESE PERIODS. MODELS ARE NOT SURPRISINGLY STRUGGLING WITH THE STRENGTH AND TIMING OF THE WAVES AND SUBSEQUENT QPF OUTPUT IN THIS FLOW. WILL PLAY POPS CONSERVATIVE (NO HIGHER THAN 30) AT THIS TIME PER AFOREMENTIONED FACTORS. BY SUNDAY THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY A TROPICAL SYSTEM MOVING NORTHWEST THROUGH THE GULF MAY BECOME A PLAYER AS IT TRACKS BETWEEN THE WEAKNESS BETWEEN THE UPPER HIGHS ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST UNITED STATES AND THE EAST COAST. CURRENTLY IT IS JUST OFF THE NORTHWEST COAST OF AFRICA AND IS CAPTURED BY THE GFS AND THE ECMWF. WILL REDUCE POPS TO ISOLATED AND CONFINE TO THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND IMMEDIATE ADJACENT PLAINS SUNDAY THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY AS A MORE STABLE NORTH TO NORTHEAST FLOW ALOFT DEVELOPS ON THE SUBSIDENT SIDE OF THIS POTENTIAL SYSTEM. GFS ACTUALLY BRINGS BACK EDGE OF SYSTEM CLOSE TO THE EXTREME NORTHEAST SECTIONS NEXT TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. SOMETHING TO WATCH FURTHER DOWN THE LINE. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
