AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
318 PM CDT MON AUG 14 2006
.SHORT TERM...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LEVEL TUTT LOW
HAVE ALREADY BEGUN THIS AFTERNOON PER CURRENT RADAR IMAGERY. AT
THIS POINT...WHILE BOTH THE NAM AND GFS GRIDDED MODELS SHOW SIMILAR
SOLUTIONS TO THE MOVEMENT OF THIS LOW THEY DIFFER IN BOTH AREA OF
PRECIPITATION OUTPUT AND IN MOS POPS WITH THE GFS BEING
SIGNIFICANTLY WETTER. THIS HAS MADE FOR A DIFFICULT PRECIPITATION
FORECAST. HAVING LOOKED AT SEVERAL LEVELS OF MOISTURE
CONVERGENCE...IT SEEMS THAT THE BEST SOLUTION AT THIS POINT IS TO
TAKE A LITTLE OF EACH. THE 18Z KMAF RAOB HAS DRIED OUT QUITE A BIT
SINCE THIS MORNING AND SINCE YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. THEREFORE...
BELIEVE THAT THE HIGHEST PROBABILITIES AND HIGHEST AMOUNTS OF
PRECIPITATION WILL MAINLY BE TO THE WEST OF A LAMESA TO CRANE TO
PRESIDIO LINE. ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE EAST
OF THIS LINE BUT WON/T BE AS WIDESPREAD OR HEAVY AS WEST OF THE
LINE.
WE/RE HOLDING ONTO THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH ISSUED BY THE PREVIOUS
SHIFT. THIS LINES UP WELL WITH THE HIGHEST POPS AS WELL AS THE
LOCATIONS THAT HAVE HAD RAINFALL OVER THE WEEKEND. THE GROUND IS
SATURATED IN MANY OF THESE LOCATIONS ALREADY AND WILL BE MORE PRONE
TO FLASH FLOODING AS MORE RAINFALL OCCURS.
.LONG TERM...
MODELS STILL INDICATING A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL MOVE TOWARDS THE
AREA TUESDAY MORNING. AT THIS POINT...IT APPEARS THAT IT MAY
ACTUALLY WASH OUT AND BECOME STATIONARY ACROSS THE NORTH CENTRAL
PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO CAUSE FLOODING
PROBLEMS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO WHERE RAINFALL
COULD SIMPLY CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT DAY OR TWO WITH THE STALLED OUT
BOUNDARY. SEVERAL WEAK DISTURBANCES WILL ALSO ROTATE AROUND THE
WESTERN PERIPHERY OF AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE PARKED ROUGHLY OVER THE
ARK-LA-TEX REGION. WITH A VERY MOIST AIRMASS ENTRENCHED OVER THE
AREA...HEAVY RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE WITH ANY SHOWERS THAT DEVELOP.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN SLIGHTLY BELOW THE CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMS FOR
THIS TIME OF YEAR. LOWS SHOULDNT DROP OFF TOO MUCH AS CLOUD COVER
WILL REMAIN OVER MUCH OF THE AREA...SO NOTHING BELOW NORMAL IS
EXPECTED.
REMAINDER OF LONG TERM LEFT INTACT AS IT LOOKED TO BE ON TRACK WITH
LATEST MODEL RUNS AND CURRENT THINKING.
