AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX
222 PM CDT MON AUG 28 2006
.SHORT TERM...
WILL CONTINUE THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE SOUTHERN TWO THIRDS OF
THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT BASED ON THE BEST THETA E VALUES ALONG OLD
OUTFLOW IN SHEAR AXIS IN HIGHEST PRECIPITABLE WATERS AND UNSTABLE
AIR. REAL COLD FRONT IS SEEN ON VISIBLE SATELLITE FROM NEAR
CHILDRESS TO LUBBOCK WITH CUMULUS FIELD AND THIN LINE OF CONVECTION
DEVELOPING. HAVE DECIDED TO DROP THE WATCH FOR SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
AND THE NORTHERN PERMIAN BASIN TONIGHT AS DON/T THINK CONVECTION
WILL BE WIDESPREAD ENOUGH GIVEN LACK OF STRONG LOW LEVEL
CONVERGENCE ON SUBSIDENT SIDE OF SHEAR AXIS IN REGION OF SHALLOWER
MOISTURE. TAPERED THE QPF GRID FROM NORTH TO SOUTH ACCORDINGLY. NO
OTHER CHANGES.
.LONG TERM...
STRONG MID LEVEL SHRTWV TROF PASSING E INTO MIDWEST WILL HELP TO
PUSH FRONT FARTHER S...WHILE ASSOCD MID LEVEL WLY FLOW WILL DEVELOP
S THRU THE PB. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH 85H-5H THETA-E RIDGE AXIS
S. AS SUCH THERE WILL BE A RATHER SHARP GRADIENT ASSOCD WITH POPS AS
THEY DROP QUICKLY TO THE N. 5H HEIGHT FALLS AND FRONT WILL MAINTAIN
BLO NORMAL TEMPS ACRS NRN HALF CWFA...WHILE RAIN COOLED AIR AND
CLOUDS KEEP TEMPS DOWN IN THE TRANS PECOS. APPEARS THAT THERE WON/T
BE TOO MUCH LEFT OF MID LEVEL SHEAR AXIS TUE AND SOME DISAGREEMENT
IN PLACEMENT OF INSTABILITY AXIS BTWN NAM/GFS. STILL EXPECT THAT
PRESENCE OF FRONT/SB INSTABILITY/ELEVATED HEAT SOURCES/MSTR WILL
SUFFICIENT FOR HIGH END SCT/LOW END LIKELY POPS. ATTP ANTICIPATE
THAT FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL HAVE A GOOD CHANCE TO BE EXTENDED INTO
TUE S OF PECOS RIVER AS STEERING WINDS REMAIN LESS THAN 10KTS AND
PW/S ABOVE 1.5. LOWER THETA-E AIR WILL SPREAD S THRU PB WITH NARROW
THETA-E RIDGING LIKELY TO HOLD INVOF RIO GRANDE INTO WED. LOW END
POPS AT BEST MOST OF CWFA BY THUR. WILL WATCH FOR INCREASED
POTENTIAL FOR STORMS TO MOVE E OUT OF NM INTO NW CWFA THUR AS HIER
MSTR/INSTABILITY AND WLY STEERING FLOW DEVELOPS. OTHERWISE TEMPS
WILL TREND UP AS ATMOSPHERE BEGINS TO RECOVER FROM RAINS.
INTERESTING TO SEE HOW GFS KEEPS A SWD POSITION OF SUBTROPICAL RIDGE
WHILE AMPLIFYING MID LEVEL WLY FLOW FRI AS SHRTWV TROF MOVES INTO
NRN HIGH PLAINS. AS LEE TROF DEVELOPS THERMAL RIDGING INCREASES WITH
WARMER TEMPS INTO FRI. FRONT WILL PUSH S THRU W TX PLAINS SAT AND
FCST WILL REFLECT ASSOCD COOLING AND INCREASED WINDS WITH
RESPECTABLE MSL PRESSURE GRADIENT. GFS SUGGEST LOW LEVEL MSTR
POOLING ALONG FRONT SAT PM AND WILL KEEP MENTION OF TSTMS IN FCST.
WITH FRONT ACRS S SUN FOCUS WILL BE IN PLACE FOR SB INSTABILITY TO
GATHER AND WILL CONTINUE WITH TOKEN 20% POPS.
