DISCUSSION...
TOUGH FORECAST WITH A VARIETY OF FORCING MECHANISMS FOR
CONVECTION. THE MAIN FORECAST ISSUES ARE POPS...HEAVY
RAIN...SEVERE...AND FLOOD THREAT TONIGHT AND SUNDAY...THEN
POPS TEMPS IN LATER PERIODS. THE MODELS ARE IN FAIR TO POOR
AGREEMENT AND PLAGUED WITH CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK. THE FORECAST IS
THEREFORE BASED MAINLY ON OBSERVED SATELLITE TRENDS FOR THE SHORT
TERM...AND THEN A MODEST APPROACH TO MODEL TIMING IN LATER
PERIODS.
SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS AN MCV CENTERED NEAR HOBBS...AND AN
APPROACHING JET STREAK/VORT LOBE OVER NORTHERN MEXICO. THERE ARE
ALSO LEFT OVER BOUNDARIES FROM CONVECTION EARLIER TODAY. THE
UPSHOT FOR OUR AREA IS SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT
THROUGH MONDAY...THEN MORE TYPICAL AFTERNOON CONVECTION TUESDAY
THROUGH THURSDAY...BEFORE HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS LATE IN THE WEEK.
HAVE ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR VAL VERDE...KINNEY...AND
EDWARDS COUNTIES THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. THIS MAY NEED TO BE
EXTENDED IN TIME AND EXPANDED FURTHER EAST. RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL
NOT LIKELY BE EXCESSIVE...BUT RECENT RAINFALL IN THAT AREA LEAVES
THE GROUND NEAR SATURATION...HENCE NEARLY ANY RAIN OVER 1/2 INCH
IN 30-60 MINUTES WILL CREATE FLOODING PROBLEMS. THE MAIN SHORT WAVE
TROUGH WILL EJECT OVER THE AREA SUNDAY/MONDAY...SO HAVE KEPT HIGH
POPS IN THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON.
THE MAIN U.S. LONGWAVE TROUGH WILL RETROGRADE TO THE WESTERN U.S.
DURING THE WEEK...WITH WEAK RIDGING OVER TEXAS. THIS SHOULD
PROVIDE FOR HIGHER MAX TEMPS AND LOWER POPS AS THE WEEK PROGRESSES.
