AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX 449 AM CDT TUE AUG 22 2006 .SHORT TERM... UPPER RIDGE OVER SOUTHERN U.S. WILL CONTINUE TO BE A WET PATTERN FOR THE AREA AS DISTURBANCES GET PULLED AROUND THE RIDGE AND INTO THE REGION. THIS COMBINED WITH DEEP MOISTURE CIRCLING AROUND THE EDGE OF THE RIDGE CONTINUES TO PRODUCE ABUNDANT STORMS THAT PERSIST THROUGH THE NIGHTTIME HOURS. SOME OF THIS PRECIPITATION THIS MORNING APPEARS TO BE ALONG A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT IS EXPECTED TO SAG SOUTHWARD TODAY. MODELS STILL TRYING TO PUSH CENTER OF RIDGE WESTWARD AND DECREASE POPS... BUT IT KEEPS RAINING SO WILL KEEP LOW CHANCE POPS. MODEL QPF CONTINUES TO DEVELOP PRECIP MAINLY ACROSS THE WESTERN PART OF THE AREA WITH HINTS OF MORE STORMS TODAY ALONG THE FRONT. WILL CONTINUE HIGHEST POPS ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO BUT ALSO INCREASE POPS ACROSS THE NORTHERN CWA. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO BE MODERATED BY THE PLENTIFUL RAINFALL WITH THOSE AREAS THAT HAVE RECEIVED RAIN OVER THE PAST 24HRS RUNNING A DEGREE OR TWO COOLER DURING THE DAY. WILL CALL FOR HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE LOW TO MID 90S WITH UPPER 90S AROUND 100 FOR PECOS AND RIO GRANDE VALLEYS. SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO SHOULD BE COOLER THAN THAT. .LONG TERM... THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT WESTWARD AND BECOME CENTERED ACROSS WEST CENTRAL NEW MEXICO WEDNESDAY. THE LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT ANOTHER SHORTWAVE WILL TRANSLATE SOUTHWARD AROUND THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE RIDGE AXIS INTO EASTERN NEW MEXICO AND THE TEXAS PANHANDLE/SOUTH PLAINS REGION LATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THE BEST CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY REMAIN ALONG THIS FEATURE TO THE NORTH OF OUR FORECAST AREA. HOWEVER...WE HAVE AT LEAST INCLUDED A SLIGHT CHANCE OF CONVECTION ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN PLAINS OF NEW MEXICO AND THE NORTHERN PERMIAN BASIN WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO AVERAGE SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL VALUES ACROSS MOST LOCATIONS WEDNESDAY. THE UPPER RIDGE WILL BECOME DOMINANT ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN CONUS LATE THIS WEEK AS MID LEVEL WESTERLY FLOW INCREASES ACROSS THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN STATES. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD MAINLY REMAIN CONFINED TO AREAS ALONG THE SURFACE TROUGH AXIS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...NAMELY ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO PLAINS SOUTHWARD INTO THE GUADALUPE/DAVIS MOUNTAINS...AND THE BIG BEND REGION. A FAST MOVING SHORTWAVE IS EXPECTED TO PASS ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS DURING THE DAY SATURDAY. THIS WILL AID IN SENDING ANOTHER COLD FRONT SOUTHWARD INTO THE TEXAS PANHANDLE BY LATE SATURDAY NIGHT...POSSIBLY EVEN MAKING IT INTO THE FORECAST AREA BY SUNDAY MORNING. THE LATEST MODEL SOLUTIONS SUGGEST THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH AT LEAST MONDAY. WITH THE BOUNDARY AND ABUNDANT IN PLACE...RAIN CHANCES WILL LIKELY BE ON THE INCREASE SUNDAY AND MONDAY. FOR NOW...WE HAVE TRENDED RAIN CHANCES UPWARD AND TEMPERATURES DOWNWARD SLIGHTLY BOTH DAYS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
