Area forecast discussion, Jun 4, 12:16 PM MST, 5 hours 44 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIDLAND/ODESSA TX 216 PM CDT MON JUN 4 2007 .DISCUSSION... NW MID LEVEL FLOW REMAINS WELL ESTABLISHED ACRS THE REGION WITH 5H RIDGE AXIS THRU THE INTER MTN W. LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL ATTEMPT TO RECOVER FROM STRONG CONVECTION WITH WEAKISH SE 85H ACRS ERN NM BY 00Z. MODEL DWPNT FCST DO INDICATE DRIER AIR THIS P.M. WITH DWPNTS AS LOW AS U40S-N50 ERN NM BY 00Z. INITIALLY THOUGHT THIS SEEMS TOO LOW BUT THERE ARE SOME 40 DEGREE DWPNTS IN ERN NM CURRENTLY. STILL WRF/GFS INDICATE STRONG SHRTWV TROF IN THE NW MID LEVEL FLOW...ESPECIALLY FROM 00Z ONWARD. THUS WILL OPT TO GO WITH GENERALLY SCT POPS TONIGHT TO ACCOUNT FOR POSSIBILITY OF AN MCS. AFOREMENTIONED RIDGE AXIS WILL MOVE EWD TUE AS STRONG 5H LOW MOVES INTO THE NWRN U.S. AND NW MID FLOW WILL CONTINUE. AS 7H-5H RIDGE MOVES E 7H TEMPS WILL INCREASE TO NEAR 14C ACRS ERN NM PLAINS AND ATMOSPHERE WILL TEND TO REMAIN CAPPED IN THE PLAINS. RECALLING SAGE ADVISE THAT CONVECTION TENDS TO DECREASE SLOWLY AS WE MOVE INTO A WARMER/DRIER PATTERN WE WILL OPT TO KEEP LOW END SLGHT CHC POPS TUE BEFORE 14-16C 7H TEMPS WED PRECLUDE MORE SUBSTANTIAL CONVECTIVE CONCERNS. WED WILL LIKELY BE THE HOTTEST DAY W TX HAS HAD THIS WARM SEASON. 85H TEMPS NEAR 30C/DRIER AIR/SLIGHT DOWNSLOPE COMPONENT INDICATES NEAR TRIPLE DIGIT HEAT ACRS CENTRAL PB. THIS MAY BE OFFSET FROM RECENT RAINS AND GREEN-UP. IT WILL BE WINDY ACRS THE GDP MTNS/SE NM/W-NW PB PER 7H WINDS NEAR 25-35KTS/DEEP MIXING/TIGHTENING SFC MSL PRESSURE GRADIENT...BRIEF HIGH WINDS WITH GUSTS 55-60 MPH POSSIBLE IN GDP MTNS. A LITTLE COOLER THURSDAY AS WLY MID LEVEL FLOW PUSHES THERMAL RIDGE E...BUT WITH EVEN DRIER AIR AND BETTER DOWNSLOPE COMPONENT IT WILL STILL BE HOT. MSTR WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO RETURN W AND HOLD ACRS PB FRI AS 5H FLOW BACKS AND SFC LOW FORMS NEAR SE NM. ECMWF/GFS INDICATE A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL SLIDE S INTO THE S PLAINS WHICH COULD SET- UP A TRIPLE PT ACRS OR NEAR NRN CWFA FRI P.M.. STILL LOOKS LIKE 7H TEMPS WILL BE 13-15C SO ANY POPS WOULD BE CONFINED TO N-NE. GFS AND TO A LESSER DEGREE ECMWF INDICATE A MORE DEFINITIVE SHRTWV TROF PASSING ACRS PB IN SW MID LEVEL FLOW. AFOREMENTIONED FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS LOST/DIFFUSE SO NOT SURE IF IT WILL BE A FACTOR THIS FAR S. ISOLD POPS ALREADY IN FCST AND WILL MAKE NO CHANGES TO THAT. MORE SHRTWV ENERGY WITH DRYLINE STORMS SUN P.M.. 7H TEMPS WILL SLOWLY DECREASE ACRS PB INTO MON BUT STILL ON THE HOT SIDE.
