AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX 157 PM CDT SUN JUN 17 2007 .SHORT TERM... CUTOFF LOW CONTINUED TO SPIN OVER NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS...BUT WAS SLOWLY MOVING EASTWARD ACCORDING TO WATER VAPOR IMAGERY. MEANWHILE...A PLUME OF MID AND UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE WAS ENTRAPPED UNDER A BUILDING UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER NEW MEXICO. A LOW LEVEL THETA E AXIS EXTENDED NORTH/SOUTH ALONG...AND WEST OF...THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO AND WEST TEXAS...MORE OR LESS COLOCATED WITH A DEVELOPING SURFACE TROUGH. THE REMNANTS OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPEAR TO BE SITUATED FROM THE SURFACE TROUGH NEAR THE GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS...SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE STOCKTON PLATEAU. THINK WE WILL SEE A CONTINUATION OF THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE SURFACE TROUGH/THETA E AXIS...AND OLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY...THROUGH THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH WIDESPREAD SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED...A STORM OR TWO COULD BRIEFLY PULSE UP AND PRODUCE MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL OR WIND...WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE TOO. THE THREAT OF THESE ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS...AND HEAVY RAINFALL...LOOKS MOST LIKELY OVER SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO...AND OVER THE GUADALUPE AND DAVIS MOUNTAINS WHERE CAPE VALUES WILL BE THE HIGHEST. LACK OF APPRECIABLE SHEAR WILL LIMIT THE SEVERE THREAT THOUGH. A FEW STORMS COULD DEVELOP OVER THE EASTERN CWA...A LAST PARTING SHOT FROM THE EXITING UPPER LOW...ESPECIALLY SINCE THE LLJ WILL DEVELOP. OTHERWISE...WIND SPEEDS WILL PROBABLY BE HIGHER THAN THE LAST NIGHT OR TWO...SO HAVE KEPT THE HIGHER MIN TEMPERATURES ALREADY IN THE FORECAST. .LONG TERM... UPPER LOW OVER NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS WILL MOVE EAST INTO ARKANSAS AND LOUISIANA AS AN UPPER RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE WESTERN CWA MONDAY AFTERNOON. AS A RESULT...WARM DRY WEATHER CAN BE EXPECTED MONDAY AND TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REACH WELL INTO THE 90S OVER MOST AREAS MONDAY AND TUESDAY AS A THERMAL RIDGE DEVELOPS OVER THE WESTERN CWA IN RESPONSE TO THE RIDGE. OVER SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO...THE UPPER TRANS PECOS AND THE BIG BEND REGION...HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE TRIPLE DIGITS CAN BE EXPECTED. BY WEDNESDAY...THE RIDGE WILL WEAKEN SLIGHTLY IN RESPONSE TO AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVING ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS. THE TROUGH WILL SERVE TO PUSH A COLD FRONT INTO THE CWA WEDNESDAY COOLING TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY. WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES MOVING AROUND THE EASTERN EDGE OF THE HIGH WILL PRODUCE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE WESTERN AREAS WEDNESDAY. A WEAK UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL MOVE SOUTH ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS THURSDAY AND WILL PRODUCE ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE EASTERN SECTIONS THURSDAY AFTERNOON. THE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DECREASE OVER THE AREA BY EARLY FRIDAY AS THE LOW CONTINUES TO MOVE SOUTH AWAY FROM THE CWA. TEMPERATURES WILL BE ON THE INCREASE AGAIN FRIDAY AS THE THERMAL RIDGE REDEVELOPS OVER THE WESTERN CWA. WARM DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED OVER THE AREA NEXT WEEKEND AS THE UPPER RIDGE CONTINUES OVER THE REGION. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
